We have sadly learned of the death of Ryuji Saikachi, iconic Japanese voice actor. He was 89 & passed on September 29 due to congestive heart failure.

Saikachi voiced a number of enemy characters in tokusatsu, including the very first opponent in Kamen Rider– the Spider Man (no relation).

Other memorable roles performed by Ryuji Saikachi include the Sickle Neck Turtle in Kamen Rider V3, the Medusa in Kamen Rider X, the Mole Beastman in Kamen Rider Amazon and the Scorpion Kikaijin in Kamen Rider Stronger.

Our thoughts are with Ryūji Saikachi’s friends and family in this difficult time.

In case you missed it, some big news regarding next year’s Super Sentai show’s next year came out. Since then, the rumor mill’s begun churning.

Some unconfirmed rumors have appeared on Tokuinsider via J-Hero. Do note that at the time of this write-up, nothing has been confirmed by Toei or any official channels. So until we hear otherwise from them, please take this with an injection of salt. None the less, the rumors are as follows:

-Both Patoranger and Lupinranger will count as the 42nd Sentai.

-The two shows are both separate works, and the same show, with intersecting storylines that take place in the same world. The shows will air alternately from week to week, and when each reaches episode 20, the show will become one solidified story.

-The toy line will essentially be separate until this joining happens, with the 4th quarter toys able to combine and interact.

-One of the members of Lupinranger is actually an undercover spy for Patoranger. It is likely this cast member will be prominently featured on both shows.

Again, none of this has been 100% confirmed by Toei or another official channel. These rumors could likely be fake, so do take them with a grain of salt until we hear from a more reliable and official source.

A new round of magazine scans has given us some extra details about the 19th Heisei-Era Rider Series- Kamen Rider Build!

*For starters, we get some clarification about Kamen Rider Build’s configurations: Build selects 2 FullBottles to be used in his BuildDriver in order to henshin. The strongest combinations are known as BEST MATCH! because the FullBottle abilities balance out one another. However, Build does not require a BEST MATCH to henshin- any FullBottle combination will do. The resulting non-matches are considered Trial Forms and are not as strong. A variety of these TrialForms are shown in scans, including GorillaTank and RabbitDiamond.

*Next, some extensive scans reveal Kamen Rider Builds’ third BEST MATCH form- HawkGatling! This orange & silver configuration turns Build into the SkyVandal, able to fly & shoot down Smash Enemies with ease.

*Finally, we learn a bit more about the mysterious villain known as Nitrogue! Nitrogue is said to be the leader of a strange organization known only as FAUST that wants to use Builds’ technologies for their own agenda.

Kamen Rider Build officially begins THIS SUNDAY, September 3 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new series!
