A new challenger has appeared in the world of Kamen Rider Saber and our latest round of Magazine scans showcases a brand new Rider that will be entering the fray: say hello to Saikou, the Swordsman of Light!
The main gimmick with Kamen Rider Saikou is that the sword itself is sentient. The suit is just a shadow, conjured up for the purposes of wielding the sword itself while in battle but can be wielded by other Riders as demonstrated by Saber in the magazine scans. Further details pending, but we’ll be sure to notify you once any more updates become available.

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!
