It’s that time of year again folks! Kamen Rider Build is sadly drawing to a close, and as we say our farewells a new hero rises to take his place: Kamen Rider Zi-O who was revealed earlier in the week.

Not long after the reveal, our first toy catalog scans are beginning to surface online thanks to Twitter user @Tokullector and translations from @SpecialForm12

A few things worth noting from the translations:

  • Kamen Rider Zi-O’s belt is called the Jikku Driver
  • The second Rider shown previously is called Kamen Rider Gates
  • The form changes are called ArmorTime, both Gates and Zi-O uses RideWatches to activate these forms.
  • Kamen Rider Zi-O has ArmorTimes based on Build and Ex-Aid while Gates will use forms based on Ghost and Drive.
  • Zi-O’s default sidearm is called the JikanGrade and will have both a sword and gun mode.

Do note that what we are seeing are scans for the Gashapon toys, we’ll be seeing scans for the DX stuff in the next few days. In the meantime, stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll provide you more updates as they become available.

We have a better look at the suit of the upcoming Kamen Rider Zi-O! As an anniversary season it does seem that Kamen Rider Zi-O will be utilizing past Riders/Legend Riders as part of the power up motif.

A second form is also present although at the time of this post we are unsure if it is a second Kamen Rider or if this is a different form (think A.M. vs P.M.). We won’t have to wait too much longer for more information so stay tuned for more news on Kamen Rider Zi-O!

The first image from the forth-quarter Super Sentai merchandising catalog has surfaced online, giving fans a quick look at the further adventures of Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger vs Keisatsu Sentai PatRanger!

Three new items are revealed in this catalog scan-

*First up is the DX Lupin Magnum! This new blaster weapon for the LupinRangers also transforms into a humanoid figure for combat.

*Next is the VS Vehicle Siren Striker! A new riot-officer based Vehicle for the PatRangers allowing for a more powerful Mecha combo- the Siren PatKaiser!

*Last but certainly not least is the Victory Striker! This airliner-based Vehicle gives the LupinRangers their strongest Mecha yet- Victory LupinKaiser!

Definitely some interesting antics ahead for this unique Super Sentai series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all LupinRanger VS PatRanger reveals!

After some back and forth with teases, silhouettes, and a plethora of rumors, we may finally have our very first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O!

Thanks to a tweet from @therealmatthunt we have what appears to be Zi-O sporting a pretty radical time & letters/characters based design. The images comes courtesy of a brand new Buttobasoul advert. And while it isn’t a full body shot, yet, it certainly seems to be our first legitimate look at the character.

A detailed silhouette of the next Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Zi-O has been posted online!

While Zi-O still hasn’t been revealed in full, this new image hints at a more complex design than some folks may have originally anticipated- including armor bits around the shoulders & thighs, a basic “antennae-crown” (similar to past Riders) and the figure in question seems to be holding a unique weapon (or perhaps changer).

Kamen Rider Zi-O’s series will begin on September 2 2018! Be sure to stop by our official Kamen Rider Zi-O Rumor Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this brand-new Rider Series!

Toei has uploaded a new trailer for the upcoming Super Sentai reunion film Engine Sentai Go-Onger- 10 Year Grand Prix!

A decade since their last adventures together, the Go-Onger team has long been divided thanks to the Human Worlds’ Isolation Barrier. Worse yet, a new Sentai Activity Ban by the Ministry of Defense means that if the Go-Ongers appear again, they will be labeled as terrorists! A major incident will occur to reunite both the Human & Engine team members- while the old enemy Gaiark Clan is along for the ride as well!

10 Year Grand Prix is currently scheduled for release on September 26 2018!

Toei has released a pair of trailers for this summers’ Super Sentai & Kamen Rider double-billed theatrical release!

First up, in LupinRanger VS PatRanger En Film– LupinRed and Patren 1 must set aside their differences to work together after the remaining Rangers are captured by the Ganglers. Along the way, they will encounter legendary detective Herlock Sholmes and unlock a brand-new VS Vehicle– the Jackpot Striker!

Next, the adventure continues in Kamen Rider Build: Be The One! Surprisingly, this film takes place AFTER the events of Builds’ series- the Rider War has ended & the country is united under a new government. Unfortunately, this government triggers a BUILD ANNIHILATION PLAN and the once-venerated hero becomes a target of every citizen in the country. Aiding in this Annihilation Plan is a powerful new Rider- Kamen Rider Blood!

Both films are currently scheduled for release on August 4 2018!

under Metal Heroes, Super Sentai

After a brief teaser last month, Shout! Factory has officially announced their next Super Sentai complete series release as none other than Chojin Sentai Jetman!

This is the first Super Sentai series to be released by Shout! Factory that predates the Power Rangers franchise- and if successful could lead to similar early Sentai releases.

Another round of magazine scans has begun circling the Internet, giving fans a few tidbits about the further adventures of Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger vs Keisatsu Sentai PatRanger!

This month’s star is the mysterious Ranger X! This newcomer is able to shift between forms- the silver Lupin X and the gold Patren X. However, the new Rangers’ true identity has not yet been revealed at this time- fans can only wonder who is behind the helmet. X is not allied with the LupinRangers OR the PatRangers but does fight the Gangler whenever they appear- he will help whichever team he feels needs it.

To activate his powers, X uses his unique henshin device- the X-Changer! This new Changer comes with a pair of special VS Vehicles based on trains- the X-Train Gold & X-Train Silver. To change forms, Ranger X merely rotates the cannon on the Changer.

Rounding out his arsenal, X has a signature weapon- the X Rod Sword which also has two unique modes- Sword Mode and Jitte Mode.

Finally, some interesting casting has been announced for the upcoming LupinRanger VS PatRanger summer movie: Comedian Naoki Tanaka will be playing the role of Herlock Sholmes– the only detective to ever catch legendary thief Arsene Lupin!

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Super Sentai fans! Stay tune to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Super Sentai reveals.
