While previous scans for the fourth coming Super Hero Taisen Z confirmed the appearance of past Metal Heroes via Gokai Change, a new update has confirmed that sadly, the keys will only be used in a Gokai Galleon Buster attack, much like the appearance of the Kamen Rider OOO forms in last year’s Super Hero Taisen.

And while the Gokaigers are returning for this installment of Super Hero Taisen, it’s sadly been confirmed that it’ll only be in voice only, with Ryota Ozawa reprising his role as Captain Marvelous. Ayumi Kinoshinta(AKA:Jasime/DekaYellow) and Kohki Okada will also reprise their roles as Skydain and Groundain respectively.

Lastly, Toei’s official site for the film has also been updated giving a brief history of the Metal Hero franchise.

The first set photos for the forthcoming V-Cinema release Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years Later have arrived! Though these images do not show much other than a revamped version of their secret base, they also confirm the return of Ken Nishida and Shoko Takada as Mugensai and Oboro Hinata.

Taking place 10 years after the defeat of Jakanja, this one-off direct to DVD/Blu ray film will see the Hurricanegers and Goraigers reunite against a new threat. It is directed by Katsuya Watanabe and written by Hurricaneger series head writer Junichi Miyashita, with a release date of August 9th.

It’s that time once again! New toy catalogues for Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger will be out later this month, and with the reveals in them looming we have a few advance rumors of what we’ll see.

– #9 Pleson will be a violet & white plesiosaur partnered with Kyoryu Violet and will have 3 modes. Plesiosaur, boat/sub, and a robot mode named PlesOh. When Pleson combines with Gabutyra and Bunpachy Bakuretsu Kyoryuzin is formed!

– The rumored Kyoryuger summer film will feature a brand new Zyudenryu, #0 Tobaspino, a blue & yellow spinosaur. Tobaspino can combine with Bunpachy and Ankydon to form SpinoDaioh! It’s rumored that Tobaspino will be a repaint/remold of Gabutyra!

– Last but not least Kyoryu Red will be receiving a personal power-up. He will receive a new gun modeled after Gabutyra called the Gabutyra Dokanival. (Dokanival being a play on the word for boom and carnival). When the Dokanival is combined with the Gaburevolver he becomes Kyoryu Red Carnival!

As always remember to take rumors with a grain of salt. In this case several. But none the less, true or not, these are some exciting rumors indeed!
Gaburincho!

It seems that some new images of Kamen Rider Wizard Infinity Style are making the rounds today, credit to Tokunation user AoBlue. Uchusen Magazine #140 features an awesome multi-page spread on Wizards’ ultimate form. Created from Harutos’ tears and his desire to protect others, this form contains so much magical power that it transforms Wizardragon himself into it’s weapon, the Axecalibur.

Wizard Infiinity is likely to debut in Episode 31 “Tears”.

After several months of mentioning this new character in magazine scans we finally have our first image of Green Hippopotamus! Green Hippopotamus is of course the final member of Dobutsu Sentai Gobusters from the upcoming Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters V-Cinema! We see him here with fellow new character Black Puma and their universes’ Pink Buster (Rika Sakurada). Remember the Dobutsu Sentai is an alternate world version of the Go-Busters that based themselves on animals.

An interesting thing to note is that the actor playing Green Hippopotamus is actually none of other than Tatsuhisa Suzuki. Who also happens to be the voice actor for buddyorid Usada Lettuce!

This Saturday April 6th will see the return of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger for our viewing pleasure! To prepare us for this some new magazine scans are making the rounds featuring the various characters of the new season including Malsheena in her new powered up form, new villian General Two, and of coursethe Akibarangers themselves and their new looks!

We also have looks at the toy merchandise that will be released under the Akibaranger banner. New S.H.Figuarts for each of the Akibarangers & Delu-Knight included. And just as suspected the Japanese releases of S.H.Figuarts Tyranno Ranger and S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ranger will indeed be tied to Akibaranger! Let speculation run wild but this more than likely means we’ll be seeing some more Akibaranger themed accessories with these characters like Red Hawk and others from Season 1!

Yesterday DecaEnd of HJU reported on the appearance of a Tsuburaya character in Toeis’ upcoming Super Hero Taisen Z Net Movies. Tsuburaya being the parent company of the Ultraman Franchise it’s safe to say we’ll see at least one Ultra appear.

When Orends Range reported this news it was pointed out by a user there (Shogeco) that if you look closely at the SHTZ Net Movies Site there’s a small copyright on the page for Marvel Comics! Could this mean the return of the 70’s Japanese toku hero Spider-Man? Time will tell!
