We are mere days away from the first Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era and a plethora of new images have just been released showing fans even more details about the upcoming new hero- Kamen Rider Zero-One!
Zero-One lives in a world where androids known as HumaGears live alongside humanity. But when terrorists of the MetsubouJinrai.net use their technical skills to hijack HumaGear, Kamen Rider Zero-One must protect humanity from the dangerous attacks!
The powers of Zero-One come from Progrise Keys, devices encoded with animal DNA charged by the Hiden Zero-One Driver. Kamen Rider Zero-One’s default form, Rising Hopper is shown in full detail documenting its various capabilities.
Three more forms for Kamen Rider Zero-One are detailed in these new scans-
*Biting Shark for underwater enemies
*Flying Falcon for airborne attacks
*Flaming Tiger with fire-based abilities.
When HumaGear run amok, agents of the Artificial Intelligence Military Service (generally known as A.I.M.S) will step in to take them down. The most advanced A.I.M.S. agents are the Rider Duo- Kamen Rider Vulcan & Kamen Rider Valkyrie! Vulcan’s signature Progrise Key is Shooting Wolf while Valkyrie uses Rushing Cheetah. Vulcan is also shown demonstrating the Punching Kong Key in these new scans.
Kamen Rider Zero-One begins on September 1 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new series!
RIDER TIME
This past weekend marked the final episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O but Toei isn’t done with the King of Time quite yet! Announced earlier last week ahead of the last episode was a V-Cinema movie titled Kamen Rider Zi-O: Next Time Geiz Majesty which appears to take place following the end of the series.
A trailer for the V-Cinema’s since been released, and the trailer revealed that Geiz will be acquiring a new Ride Watch. At the moment, we don’t know how Bandai intends to release the DX Geiz Majesty Ride Watch but we can assume that it will no doubt be a P-Bandai release.
Do note that the trailer does contain spoilers for the final episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O. So if you aren’t caught up yet, hit the link at your own risk!
A new set of magazine scans has been released online, offering fans a few insights into the upcoming adventures of Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!
This months’ highlights include:
*The reveal of the strongest known Kishiryu to date- the Pachycephalosaurus based fighter, Pachygaroo! This new Kishiryu will work in tandem with a miniaturized counterpart, nicknamed Chibigaroo.
*When Pachygaroo combines with KishiRyuOh they become KishiRyuOh Pachygaroo and defeat their enemies with powerful seismic fist attacks.
*By mastering Pachygaroo’s unique RyuSoul– the Dosshin Soul– the RyuSoulgers can activate new RyuSoul armor that includes heavy boxing gloves for close-range combat.
In order to meet this new Kishiryu, the RyuSoulgers will encounter a previously unknown survivor from the RyuSoul tribe- a veteran warrior named Nada who has a secret history with Master Red.
Definitely some interesting times ahead for RyuSoulger fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Super Sentai reveals!

COUNT THE MEDALS!
Kamen Rider OOO just made his grand debut into the Shinkocchu Seihou line and upon his release, rumors began to spread about a certain red-feathered partner has also been in development. That rumor’s now taken shape in the form of S.H.Figuarts Shinocchu Seihou Ankh.
Of course, this, unfortunately, isn’t Anhk while he’s in the possession of a human body, and while it might be just an arm we can see that he’ll come with a ton of accessories: including the usual assortment of expressive hands, an Ice Candy, a miniature iPhone, a pile of Cell Medals, and finally the Core Medals needed for TaJaDol and TaToBa combos.
All of this can be yours for 3960 yen and will ship out in January 2020. This does not appear to be a P-Bandai exclusive, but we’ll let you know if that changes.
Toei has announced the musical artists who will perform the theme song to Kamen Rider Zero-One!
The series’ theme song will be known as REALxEYES and the song will be performed by-
*J from the band Luna Sea
*Takanori Nishikawa best known by their stage name T.M.Revolution
However, the actual song has not been made available at time of writing.

A few months ago, we got word that the next of Bandai’s Super Minipla releases will be from the retro Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan show with a Super Minipla Sun Vulcan Robo in the works, new sketches have been found online, and not only do these sketches give us a good indication of what the finished product could look like, they also confirm that the Jaguar carrier mecha has also entered development.
Release information for these two are still forthcoming, but we’ll be sure to update you with more info as soon as it becomes available.
Kamen Rider Zero-One represents the end of an era in more ways than one. Seiji Takaiwa is a name that most fans of Tokusatsu will be familiar with. For those unfamiliar: he’s a stunt actor that started with Kamen Rider Black RX as Riderman and has since gone to perform stunt work for every single titular Heisei Kamen Rider with the exception of Kamen Rider Kuuga. He also did stunt work in Super Sentai as various Red Ranger and DragonRanger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.
In an article by Dengeki Hobby, it was confirmed that the legendary suit actor will be passing the torch to Yuya Nawata whom will be performing the suit stunt work for Kamen Rider Zero-One.
Yuya Nawata’s been around the Tokusatsu scene since Kamen Rider Hibiki. Most recently, he performed the suit work for Kamen Rider Geiz in addition to Kamen Rider Cronus and Amazon Neo Alpha.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Takaiwa is retiring just yet but it seems that his involvement with lead roles will lessen somewhat. Kamen Rider Zero-One will be premiering September 1st 2019, we’ll be sure to provide you with more updates on this exciting new entry into the Kamen Rider series. In the meantime, make the jump to our discussion thread and let us know what you think of this latest update.
