Another tidbit was given to us from Saban Brands regarding the Gold Ranger. The Examiner.com was given an in-depth expose of the new character to the Power Rangers. We’ll give you a brief run down so you can be up to speed! Then check out the awesome images that were sent to us by Saban Brands for the arrival of the latest Gold Ranger to the team!

Ivan, the Gold Ranger, found the Gold Energem 800 years ago. He was ambushed by the villain Fury and imprisoned within him, but not before he bonded with the power of the Gold Energem. With help from the Power Rangers Dino Charge, Ivan was able to break out of his prison inside Fury and joins the team. Ivan values honesty and loyalty above all other traits and practices them himself through and through. Because he missed 800 years, he adds a sense of innocence to the team much like Koda the Blue Ranger. He wields the Ptera Morpher and Ptera Saber, and calls upon the Ptera Zord which transforms in to the Ptera Charge Megazord to fight with the other Power Rangers!

We received some production stills for the next episode of Power Rangers Dino Charge titled “Knight After Knights”. The episode features Ivan the Gold Ranger trying to decide whether or not to join the team of the Power Rangers – and unfortunately, the monster Bones shows up and starts stealing the Rangers’ back-bones, making them look like cowards.

Can Shelby the Pink Ranger convince Ivan to still join the team as well as to save the others? The brand new episode airs Saturday, September 19th on Nickelodeon. Click the title of the story to check out the episode production stills provided to us by Saban Brands for the Power Force, of which we are a part of. We’ve also included the preview clip below!

For those that have, we’ve linked our episode poll and discussion for the episode in the forums and have left it open so you can begin discussing the episode. For everyone else – please join us on Saturday morning!

Thanks (if you can call it that) to the French airings of Power Rangers Dino Charge, we’re now able to list who plays the Purple Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Charge! We consider this a spoiler (as there are story elements tied in to it). So we will use the “spoiler” tag on our front page as well as in our discussion forum. Click the button for the spoilers!

Spoiler:
The Power Rangers meet an older man named Albert in New Zealand who has possession of the Purple Energem. He is played by Arthur Ranford. He is unable to fight because he is scared – and he doesn’t know why the Purple Energem chose him. Keeper is able to break the bond between human and Energem. Sledge comes in to possession of the Purple Energem and also manages to capture Keeper aboard his ship. Going in alone to save him, Kendall finds the Purple Energem in the ship and becomes the Purple Ranger in the season finale.

A special thanks to nightmere10 from The Power Scoop Blog as well as YellowAccel on the RangerCrew forums for all the information regarding the actor and the story!

It was twenty-two years ago today that an evil space sorceress by the name of Rita Repulsa escaped her space-garbage-can prison with the goal of conquering the Earth. An intergalactic being known as Zordon, along with his robotic assistant Alpha 5, selected five teenagers with attitude to take upon the ancient power of the dinosaurs to become the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. For twenty-two years different teenagers (and adults) have taken the mantle of power to save the city, to save the Earth, to save the galaxy – even to save time itself!

We’ve had evil villains from space, space pirates, an entire United Alliance of Evil, a Machine Empire, evil demons from a place that was obviously Hell but you can’t say that on a kids program, space insects (a couple of times!), a computer virus that conquered the world, a scientist obsessed with dinosaurs, an evil ninja, space cats (…yup), an entire Armada, and an evil bounty hunter. We’ve had mentors that rhymed, sang, once drove race cars but became paleontologists because television, a ninja hamster, created a robot son because that’s not creepy, an introvert genius, a samurai mentor, a head on a wall, a dog, and now a creepy little alien that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. We’ve had a kid Power Ranger, we’ve had a Power Ranger die (but come back to life because kids television), we’ve had a tragic story of a knight who lost his son and the grief kept him alive, we’ve had a mother/father/son team of Power Rangers, and we’ve seen a team go SUPER MEGA (you knew that was coming).

We’ve had the original creations of the Titanium Ranger and the Spirit Rangers and we’ve had BLITZ NEW POWERS!. We’ve had great music selections and we’ve had some questionable theme songs. But in the end, we’ve had 22 years of heroes and that’s a feat that is pretty dang impressive on to itself.

Happy Birthday, Power Rangers. Please enjoy this montage of opening sequences from the last 22 years brought to you by the folks of RangerCrew.

under Power Rangers, Power Rangers Movie

Here we go! Today the casting sides for the upcoming Power Rangers 2017 Movie were released online. What is a casting side you ask? Well, it’s basically a bunch of lines for actors to read off or to get in to character while auditioning for the role of the character they’re trying out for. Casting sides are not always a guarantee – the casting sides for Power Rangers Megaforce were different than what we ended up with.

Now obviously – there’s potential major spoilers. Below is a screen shot of the casting side with the details blurred out. These casting sides potentially give us the first details on the story (how similar is it to the “leaked” story from a month or so ago?), as well as more details on some of the character bios that were leaked not too long ago (Kimberly being absent from school for six months is explained, as well as part of Billy’s reasoning for being such an introvert). If you’d like to see the casting sides, you may do so courtesy of our friends at MorphinLegacy.com, our friends at RangerBoard.com, as well as the folks of RangerCrew.com.

To see a scan of one of the castings ides (albeit edited to avoid spoilers), simply click READ MORE!

As you may or may not be aware, new episodes of Power Rangers Dino Charge are currently airing in Latin America, meaning by the time new episodes begin airing here in the United States, Latin America will be three episodes ahead of us. Unfortunately, that means they will have some big reveals before they are seen here in the United States, and that means that social media will destroy your hopes of NOT knowing about it (if that is your goal).

So we here at TokuNation.com are doing our best NOT to spoil it for you – but we are also a news organization that makes a living on reporting news, and casting information is a pretty big deal in this fan community. So we’re going to go ahead and post the identity of the actor who is playing the Dino Charge Gold Ranger, but not in the story brief – you’ll have to click “READ MORE” to get the full reveal. Keep in mind – clicking the title of this story will take you to the spoilers.
