Once again the worlds of Rider and Sentai have collided!
A special teamup episode featuring Kamen Rider Ghost and Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger has been announced for March 27, 2016! This one hour crossover will air in place of the standard SuperHeroTime programming block for the day.
Sadly, no plot details about the meeting of Ghost & the Zyuohgers have been revealed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting meeting of heroes!
After a few months of grainy scans and guesswork, we have our first good look at DX Wild Zyuoh King! This image was first circulated by @TokusatsuPapa on twitter.
As we can see from this latest image, Wild Zyuoh King incorporates every cube revealed thus far including recent reveals like Mogura & Kuma. The only absence is the yet unseen Cube Rhino. The combination seems to be taking a few pointers from the ToQger playbook with the leg extensions and side mounts, but the arms go in an entirely different direction. We aren’t sure yet if this mech skipped leg day or arms, but it certainly looks interesting!

With the 40th Super Sentai Series drawing closer and closer, a new round of magazine scans offers us even more information about the heroes of Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!
*The four Rangers of Zyuland (Sera, Leo, Tusk & Amu) along with Yamato of Earth are drawn together by an artifact know as the Link Cube– a device that opens the connection between their worlds. The Link Cube identifies true Champions and gives this team the power to henshin, and also allows the Zyumans to obtain human form (athough they retain some animal characteristics).
*Each Zyuohger has a power-up form known as Instinct Awakened that brings out their animal spirits! ZyuohEagle gains wings, ZyuohTiger & ZyuohLion both grow large claws, ZyuohShark gains fins and ZyuohElephant develops gigantic feet.
*The scans provide several excellent shots of ZyuohKing in combat, and demonstrate future combinations with the various Zyuoh Cubes.
*This seasons’ method of monster-growing is revealed as well: The female Deathgalian, Nalia inserts an item called a Continue Medal into a defeated warrior, activating the second round of the Blood Game.
Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger premieres February 14 2016! Definitely some wild times ahead for Super Sentai!
The official TV-Asahi page for the 40th Super Sentai Series, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger has been opened! This gives us a plethora of new information about this upcoming series!
First off, a basic story outline has been posted:
Zyuland, a world parallel to ours, is attacked by aliens, the Deathgalian. Four of its inhabitants (called Zyuman), Sera, Leo, Tusk and Amu call for help a young man from our world, Yamato. After taking human form, they all five form the Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger!
Next, we have the Zyuohger main cast!

*Miki Yanagi portrays Sera/Zyuoh Shark
*Nanba Shohei has the role of Leo/Zyuoh Lion
*Tsurugi Watanabe will play Tusk/Zyuoh Elephant

Rounding out the primary cast is Susumu Terajima, a veteran actor who will play Yamato’s uncle- an animal sculptor.
Last but CERTAINLY not least, we have learned the production crew for this new series!
*Zyuogher’s head writer is Junko Komura, previously the secondary writer for Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger.
*The series’ main director is Takayuki Shibazaki, whose resume includes Kamen Rider OOO, Kamen Rider Drive, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters and several others.
*Primary action director for Zyuohger is Hirofumi Fukuzawa, a long-time stunt actor who portrayed the Red Ranger in nearly every Super Sentai from Gaoranger to Gokaiger.
*Finally, the main producer is one Takaki Utsunomiya, veteran of Kamen Rider Wizard and Ressha Sentai ToQGer.
