We are growing ever closer to the official reveal of the 45th Super Sentai series Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger and a plethora of new information about this new series has just been released online!
Thanks to LinkedToku on social media we have learned the following details-
Zenkaigers’ story begins with a pair of scientists that discovered parallel worlds & could concentrate the powers of these worlds into small devices called Gears. In the process they discovered a world of mechanical lifeforms known as Kikanoids– normally a peaceful people but now their world has been conquered by the Evil Dynasty Tojitendo that seeks to eliminate all other worlds.
The scientists’ son, a young man named Kaito (described as an adventurous friendly man with no sense of personal space) takes up the power of the Gears with another device- the GearTlinger to transform into a new Super Sentai hero- ZenKaiser!
Four of the Kikanoids are able to join Kaito-
*Zyuran– the senior member of the team, who thinks he is calm and relaxed but is in practice a stubborn old man. With the power of the Gears he takes on the combat form ZenkaiZyuran!
*Gaon– a peaceful airhead with a love of cooking, who becomes ZenkaiGaon for fights.
*Vroom– the educated team member with a love for schooling; his battle form is ZenkaiVroom.
*Magine– a shy otaku obsessed with the occult who can transform into ZenkaiMagine when needed.
The Zenkaigers will be aided in their missions by Secchan– a strange talking mechanical bird created by Kaito’s parents.
In addition to changing between humanoid-robo and Zenkaiger forms, the Kikanoids are also able to transform into Mechas! The artwork gives us some ideas of the combinations- a type of SYMMETRICAL DOCKING where one Zenkai Robo forms half the combination.
Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger is currently scheduled for release March 7 2021! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new chapter in Super Sentai history!
