It seems that every single week you think this show is done being awesome and will have a normal, filler-like episode that we’ve all grown accustomed to. However, Kamen Rider Gaim continues to deliver breath-taking episodes that blow our minds and raise the stakes every single time. And Episode 15, “The Man Who Developed the Belts”, is no different than any of the previous episodes – except that it’s full of awesome, even more so than the previous episode!

There’s not really anything we can say that will not spoil the episode. Setting an all new record for “that was the fastest sub in history”, Aesir Subs already has the episode ready for you to check out. Do so, and then join our episode discussion and vote on what you thought of the episode! Beware of spoilers in the thread, so avoid it if you haven’t seen it or don’t want to be spoiled yet.

Once you have seen the episode though, join in the discussion of what this episode revealed, and what do you think is in store for our heroes. And of course, that amazing preview for Episode 16 that will surely be the next significant story point in this already excellent season of Kamen Rider. To the stage!

This weekend we got our first looks at the supporting cast of the 38th Super Sentai Series. And now thanks to some updated news reports we have some more details about the faces & voices behind these new cast members!

*The ToQGers’ team mentor Shashou is played by Sekine Tsutomu, a well-known comedic performer.

*His assistant, Ticket, is voiced by Yamaguchi Kappei a long-time anime veteran with an extensive voiceover resume, perhaps best known as the voice of “Ranma” in the iconic anime Ranma 1/2.

*Their robot helper, Wagon, will be voiced by Horie Yui another veteran voice actor & also a well-known singer. We may be in for some musical performances during ToQGer!

Finally, the villains voices were also announced by Japanese news outlets. Again, all four are long-time veterans:

*Nero Danshaku- performed by Fukuyama Jun (Lelouch Lamperouge of Code Geass)

* Noir Fujin- voiced by Hisakawa Aya (original anime voice of Sailor Mercury)

*Scwarz Shogun- voiced by Jou Haruhiko(Mastermind in X-Men Animeverse)

*Gritta Jou- voiced by Hidaka Noriko (Belle-Mère from One Piece)

No doubt an impressive staff that should give us some very entertaining performances this year!

Major Spoiler here! Click this story to see the first image of Kamen Rider Gaim’s first upgraded form!

Spoiler:
As seen in the attached images, DJ Sagura will be giving Kouta a new Lock Seed in an upcoming episode of Kamen Rider Gaim. In fact it’s a duplicate Lemon Energy Lock Seed like the one Duke uses. This seed plus the Genesis Driver attachment, when used with the Sengoku Driver, allows Gaim to become Jinba Lemon Arms!

 

UPDATE: New images added from Gaim episode 16 preview!

More information about the 38th Super Sentai Series is slowly but surely rolling down the tracks!

In this latest round of magazine scans we learn that the ToQGers are actually childhood friends & have been together for many years. They fight to regain lost memories (though that particular story element has not been explained in full detail).

The ToQGers are guided by the mysterious “Shashou” (literally Conductor) who speaks to the team through his hand puppet, a monkey named “Ticket.” In addition the ToQGers receive help from a robotic character called “Wagon” who serves food & drink on their train voyages.

Ressha Sentai ToQGer is set to premiere February 16, 2014 so stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date with all new details!

History’s strongest braves are back! Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger’s V Cinema special has been announced as Kyoryuger 100 Years After!

The Blueray/DVD will be released on June 20th 2014 and the main cast will be returning  for this one. The DVD/Blu Ray will come with a special program book and Zyudenchi.

As the name suggests, the story will take place far into the future. Interestingly, the uniforms suggest that this new team will consist of Deathryuger, Kyoryuviolet, Cyan, Grey, Blue, and Silver. But whether or not these will be direct decedents or entirely new characters isn’t really known at the time. There’s no trailer as of yet, but you can watch the video officially announcing the project in the box below:


Thanks to Board member White Ranger for letting us know.

How can a television show get any better than this? In one of the most revealing, shocking, and tear-jerking episodes in recent memory, Kamen Rider Gaim has once again out-done itself with an episode that, as even the writer Gen Urobuchi has stated, “changes everything”. Check your favorite subtitle groups as the episode is out in full force!

We can’t really talk about the episode on the front page without spoiling the entire thing. Just know that the image attached – Micchy hugging/clinging the wall, falling down in pure shock and disbelief – is the same reaction that just about everyone watching the show had in that very moment. Come and join the episode discussion and give your vote to it by clicking here.

We’ll see you next week with another episode poll and discussion. Though how an episode can top this one is beyond belief, but we have faith that sure enough, it will happen. To the stage!

The good people at The Tokusatsu Network have come across some very interesting news in the latest issue of Japan’s “CinemaToday” magazine.

Hiroshi Fujioka, the very first Kamen Rider (who performed a multitude of stuntwork AND sang his own theme song in addition to his regular workload) will be joining the cast of “Hesei VS Showa: Movie War.”

Though Fujioka has performed voice work for tokusatsu previously (the most recent example being 2011’s “Let’s Go Kamen Rider”), this will be the first time in 38 Years that his character, Takeshi Hongo, has appeared & transformed on screen.

Truly this is a sign of good things to come! “Hesei VS Showa” premieres March 29, 2014 so stay tuned until then for further details!

UPDATED: New images of Rider 1 have been captured from a TV broadcast in Japan. These come via Heroshock, their source currently unknown. The new images show Fujioka in yet another Henshin pose AND riding New Cyclone!
