In addition the Kamen Rider Ghost & Kamen Rider Drive August magazine scans that have popped up, we have a round of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger images as well! The following images reveal a few new details for the upcoming August airing episodes of the series.

First off we see the introduction of 3 brand new Great Yokai, but these aren’t the typical enemies of the Ninningers. These are the Great Western Yokai! Summoned by Ariake No Kata these three hail from America & Europe. Each of them is themed after a classic monster and are named in that fashion; Werewolf, Dracula, & Franken. Werewolf seems to be the final piece of the puzzle as to what happened to Starninger’s family.

And on the topic of Kinji it appears that another user of the Chouzetsu Changer has proven himself. In the comings months we’ll be treated to Chouzetsu Starninger! Details of Kinji’s new transformation have yet to be revealed but we’ll keep you up to date as we find out more about these upcoming episodes!
