2019 will see the debut of the much anticipated Kishiryu Sentai Ryuusouger. While many of us are still anticipating a cast reveal, fans will be disappointed to learn that we won’t have news regarding that this year. This is most likely due to the fact that Kishuryu Sentai Ryuusouger will have a late start on March 17th, 2019 at 9:30 AM, this is confirmed via a newspaper article that was posted earlier today.

We do, however, have new details regarding the show. We do know that the show’s head writer will be Junpei Yamaoko, his previous works include various J-Dramas and this will be his first Tokusatsu project.

Lastly, the show’s tagline will be “Five Swords to serve justice” and while Black And Green’s mecha are called Needlesaurus and Tigersarus respectively.

 

UPDATE:

Toei just launched the official website for 2019 confirming that the official spelling is Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger

A few days ago, a slew of scans dropped giving us a glimpse at what Kamen Rider Zi-O had in store for us in the new year. The centerpiece of the scans were the three Kamen Riders of the future: Kamen Rider Woz, Kamen Rider Quiz, and Kamen Rider Shinobi. It came as a bit of surprise to learn that Quiz and Shinobi will not only be getting full-on stunt suits but story arcs of their own including their own Another Rider versions!

In another update, we now know that Kamen Rider Shinobi will be portrayed by Super Sentai alumni Hideya Takada better known in our little circle for having portrayed Kinji Takigawa/StarNinjger from Shuriken Sentai Nininger.

Kamen Rider Shinobi’s human identity will be known as Rentaro Kamikura, though much of his character and backstory remain a mystery. With this recent announcement, it stands to reason that Kamen Rider Quiz will most likely be getting his own civilian form as well though nothing has been announced at the time of this writing. Stay tuned though, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated as more info becomes available.

The first official scans from the upcoming 43rd Super Sentai series have been posted online! This is our best look yet at Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger!

The Ryusougers are described as legendary Knights who fight using the power of the dinosaur- the strongest creatures on Earth! Each Ryusouger has a partner dinosaur- a KishiRyu. Through special devices known as RyuSouls (which resemble dinosaur heads but also transform into smaller figures resembling medieval knights) the Ryusougers can activate new weapons, armor and abilities.

Some brief character details are included with these new scans:

*Ryuso Red is the mightiest warrior who possesses the strongest KishiRyu- his Tyrannosaurus, nicknamed Tyramigo.
*Ryuso Pink has remarkable senses and can see through situations with ease.
*Ryuso Blue is the most intelligent member of the team, a dedicated swordsman.
*Ryuso Green is the youngest teammate, a speedy fighter who hates to lose.
*Ryuso Black is the teams’ heavy-hitter, who does all he can to protect the others.

Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger will officially begin on March 17 2019 at the conclusion of the Super Sentai Strongest Battle tournament! Stay tuned to TokuNation between now & then as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new series!

The latest round of magazine scans has been posted online, giving fans some much-needed new details on the further adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

*Centerpiece of this month’s spread is Kamen Rider Woz! Using a new model Driver known as the BeyonDriver, Woz has his own unique brand of RideWatches called MiraiWatches that power his distinctive abilities. Kamen Rider Woz’s signature weapon- the Zikan DeSpear is also displayed in full.

To assist in his quest, Kamen Rider Woz summons two BRAND-NEW Kamen Riders!

*Kamen Rider Quiz is a blue & red Rider from the year 2040 with skills linked to intelligence.
*Kamen Rider Shinobi is a purple Rider from the year 2022 with the power to control elements and perplex enemies with swift movements.

Both Riders appear to fight alongside Kamen Rider Zi-O & Kamen Rider Gates against their respective AnotherRider counterparts.

*Finally, Zi-O gains another upgrade to his powers- combining the Kamen Rider OOO RideWatch with the Kamen Rider Decade RideArmor to unlock Kamen Rider Zi-O Decade OOO Form– based on Kamen Rider OOO’s signature TaJaDoru Combo.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for this adventurous Rider series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider reveals.

The last cinematic Kamen Rider project of the Heisei Era– Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER hits theaters this weekend and the good people at Toei have apparently decided to end things with a bang!

Two Heisei-Rider veterans have made their long-awaited return in this special crossover:

*Takeru Satoh who previously played the titular hero of Ryotaro Nogami/Kamen Rider Den-O has returned! This is Satoh’s first role in tokusatsu since leaving the role of Den-O in 2008, and many fans thought his reprisal would be unlikely due to the actors’ busy schedule.

*Not to be outdone, actor Toshiki Kashu (who portrayed /Shouichi Tsugami/Kamen Rider Agito) also announced his participation in Heisei Generations Forever! This tidbit was revealed via an image on the actors’ Instagram featuring a recording booth- causing some to speculate this particular return may be voice only.

Feel free to join in our Heisei Generations Forever Discussion Thread to share your thoughts about these remarkable returns!

Today, Toei began streaming a new video promoting the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever film (which comes out in two days!). But rather than just a new teaser or trailer for the film, this video previews the films theme song, which is itself a compilation and re-mix of the Opening Themes for all 20 Heisei Riders!

Titled “Heisei Generations Forever Medley D.A. Re-Build Mix” this song arranges clips from each of the 20 Heisei Rider OP’s into one giant song, set to a variety of archival footage as well as new scenes from the soon to be released film itself.  This new theme was arranged by Daisuke Asakura.

Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever hits Japanese theaters on December 22nd! Best to dodge spoilers on social media for a bit, but if you’d like to join in on our ongoing discussion of the film, feel free to pop into our discussion thread linked below.

In a new feature for Tokunation, we’re teaming up with review blog My Shiny Toy Robots to feature and cross-promote the various tokusatsu series and film reviews featured on the site. In the first of what will hopefully be many posts, we’re discussing the finale to Kamen Rider Amazons story – Kamen Rider Amazons the Movie: The Last Judgement!

Released earlier this year in the place of the annual Super Hero Taisen spring movie, The Last Judgement chronicles the final showdown between Haruka Misuzawa (Kamen Rider Amazon Omega) and Jin Takayama (Kamen Rider Alpha Alpha) as Haruka stumbles upon a new scheme to use Amazons to solve the world’s growing food crisis.

Be sure to check out the review and let us know your thoughts about the film in the discussion thread linked, as well as future reviews as they continue into the new year!

As seen over on Hero Shock, we have our first full length look at Kamen Rider Woz! While we’ve known for a couple of months that Woz would be getting his own set of Rider powers, we still don’t know what episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O that Woz will display his abilities in for the first time.

Using the Beyondriver, Kamen Rider Woz will use a special type of Ride Watch called MiRide Watches to access the powers of riders from the future. The future Kamen Riders, Shinobi, Quiz & Kikai that Woz draws his powers from have also yet to appear in the show, if they will at all. We should have our next batch of episode summaries coming up in the near future, so confirmation on Woz’s first transformation should come in the near future.

What do you think of Kamen Rider Woz? Let us known in the ongoing Zi-O News & Rumors Thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” below.
