Toei has released the first preview for the upcoming Super Sentai crossover special, the Super Sentai Strongest Battle!

This four-week special will feature a number of Super Sentai heroes assembled for a tournament on a faraway planet, to determine the strongest hero in the universe.

Of particular note, this preview features the first appearance of the 43rd Super Sentai Series- Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger!

A very strange figure can be spotted fighting the Ryusoulger team- a knight, in purple armor, wielding the same RyuSoulKen sword weapon used by the rest of this team. Could this be our first hint at the SIXTH member of the Ryusoulger team? Or perhaps the signature opponent of the legendary Knights? Only time will tell!

The Super Sentai Strongest Battle begins on February 17 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting special release!

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!
