First off, a basic story outline has been posted:
Zyuland, a world parallel to ours, is attacked by aliens, the Deathgalian. Four of its inhabitants (called Zyuman), Sera, Leo, Tusk and Amu call for help a young man from our world, Yamato. After taking human form, they all five form the Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger!

Rounding out the primary cast is Susumu Terajima, a veteran actor who will play Yamato’s uncle- an animal sculptor.
Last but CERTAINLY not least, we have learned the production crew for this new series!
*Zyuogher’s head writer is Junko Komura, previously the secondary writer for Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger.
*The series’ main director is Takayuki Shibazaki, whose resume includes Kamen Rider OOO, Kamen Rider Drive, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters and several others.

*Finally, the main producer is one Takaki Utsunomiya, veteran of Kamen Rider Wizard and Ressha Sentai ToQGer.
Definitely looks like a promising team for the 40th anniversary! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zyuohger details!
The first magazine scans for the 40th Super Sentai Series have been posted online! In addition to some fantastic new shots of this upcoming team, we appear to have an accepted English spelling for the series- Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!
While story details are unfortunately lacking at this time, we have learned that each Zyuohger has a personal title (likely part of the teams’ roll call) relating to their animal spirit. The Zyuohgers are referred to as Ohja– meaning Ruler or Monarch.
*Zyuoh Eagle is Ruler of the Skies
*Zyuoh Shark Monarch of the Rough Seas
*Zyuoh Lion is Ruler of the Savannah
*Zyuoh Elephant is Monarch of Forests
*Zyuoh Tiger is Ruler of the Snow Fields
These scans also give us some excellent up-close looks at the teams’ arsenal, including the Zyuoh Buster, the Eagrizer, and the Monarch of Robots, Zyuoh King!
Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger is officially scheduled to begin on February 14, 2016! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all details for this new Super Sentai Series!
A plethora of new Kamen Rider Ghost magazine scans have been posted online! These give us some remarkable details about the future of this haunted hero!
*First up, we have an up-close look at Kamen Rider Ghost Tokon Boost! This blazing red Damashii marks a new stage in power for Takeru, and its weapon- the SunglassSlasher uses a super-strong finishing move nicknamed Mega Omega Shine. In addition, Kamen Rider Ghost will receive two new Damashiis thanks to Tokon Boost: Goemon and Ryoma!
*Kamen Rider Specter will tap the power of the Houdini Eyecon to become Kamen Rider Specter Houdini Damashii! This new form sees Specter combine with his motorcycle, the Machine Hoodie for new & more powerful attacks.
*The third challenger for the Eyecons, Kamen Rider Necrom is fully revealed! Instead of the familiar Ghost Driver, Necrom’s transformation device is a wrist-mounted Changer known as the Megauloder. The identity of this new Rider is sadly unknown at time of writing.
Last but certainly not least, a series of Kamen Rider Ghost special episodes will be posted on Toei’s official Youtube channel to celebrate Kamen Rider’s 45th Anniversary. Ghost & Specter will each be receiving Legendary Rider Damashiis!
*The first special, Drive Chapter will be released on January 15 2016 and feature Kamen Rider Ghost Drive Damashii fighting the Heart Roimude.
*The second special, W Chapter is set for release on January 29 2016 and focuses on Kamen Rider Specter W Damashii VS the Terror Dopant.
*The third (and believed final) special, Gaim Chapter is scheduled for February 12 2016 and will see Ghost Gaim Damashii face off against Lord Baron.
Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider Ghost! Stay tuned to Tokunation as we keep you up to date on all Ghostly details!
Another image of the 40th Super Sentai Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger toyline has surfaced online, giving us a much closer look at new Red Ranger Jyuuou Eagle transforming into an even more powerful form- Jyuuou Gorilla!
The form-change is referred to as Visor Up in the catalog; Jyuuou Eagle pushes the “beak” portion of his helmet upward to channel his second animal spirit. And this is more than just a cosmetic variation- Jyuuou Gorilla is depicted with HUGE muscles to signify the increase in power!
Will the other Jyuuougers be able to Visor Up as well? Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all details for this new series! And feel free to join in our Ongoing Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about the new Sentai!
A new image has hit the Internet, giving fans of Kamen Rider Ghost a quick look at the haunted hero’s next upgrade- the Grateful Damashii!
Grateful appears to be a heavily-armored form with spiked shoulders and a pointed helmet. The previously-revealed Eyecon Driver G said to unlock Grateful Damashii is unfortunately not pictured in this teaser.
Strangely, this new form appears to abandon the clothing-like appearance of previous Damashii. How this will carry over to the Ghost Change action figure series remains to be seen.
Feel free to join in our Ongoing Kamen Rider Ghost Rumor Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this new upgrade!
The incomprehensibly annual grainy image period is over! We finally have our first true clear look at Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger! These new images finally give us a good look at several upcoming DX toys in the Jyuuouger line.
The Jyuuou Changer is indeed a cubical phone with a rotating element (think Rubix Cube) that allows you to choose the mode it’s used in (henshin, shokan, gattai). The Jyuuou Buster sidearm is confirmed to have both blade & gun forms. We get our first look at Jyuuou Eagle’s personal weapon the Eag Riser which is apparently also a segmented whip weapon!
But most interesting of all we get a fantastic look at the DX Cube Animals of the series! We’ve previously seen Jyuuou King, but these new images provide us with looks at Cube Elephant , Kirin, Tiger, & Gorilla. Kirin can become a Bazook for Jyuuou King, Gorilla Tiger & Elephant can merge together to form Jyuuou Wild! And these images also confirms a huge rumor, Jyuuou Eagle can transform into Jyuuou Gorilla!
