Toei has opened an official page for this years’ Super Hero Time summer movie double-bill, featuring Kamen Rider Drive and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!
At the time of writing, very few details are known about these new films. A brief teaser has been uploaded online, which gives us a release date of August 8 2015.
Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all movie news!
A new-full length trailer for the upcoming V-cinema project Ressha Sentai ToQGer: The Dreamed ToQ 7! has been uploaded online.
Set 10 years after the conclusion of the series, the ToQGers must deal with the return of the Shadow Line and a mysterious new ally! Be Warned: video contains spoilers!
This new Rainbow Line adventure will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD on June 24, 2015!
The first images of the third-quarter toys for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger have come online! While the images are low-quality, the details for these new releases correspond perfectly with the rumors we began hearing this week!
*First up is the Chozetsu Changer! This wrist brace allows the Ninningers to transform into a new heavily-armored Chozetsu– meaning transcendent– form! Current rumors suggest only one Ninninger at a time may use this upgrade, but that detail is unconfirmed.
*Next, the new Mecha- Lion HaOh! A gigantic black lion controlled by Akaninger Chozetsu, armed with twin shurikens. The Lion can combine with ShurikenJin and Bison King to create HaOh ShurikenJin– a MASSIVE combination with ShurikenJin controlling an even larger robot from the front seat!
*Last but certainly not least is a special new release for the Ninningers’ summer movie (title and release details still unconfirmed at the time of writing). This new Otomo-nin is DinoMaru, an orange Tyrannosaurus that creates a drill-sword for ShurikenJin!
Definitely some exciting new elements coming soon for the 39th Super Sentai Series!
EMERGENCY, DEKARANGER!
Toei has just recently announced that 2004’s Tokusou Sentai DekaRanger will be receiving the HD BluRay treatment!
The first of three sets containing episodes 1-16 will be released in August. With 2 more sets following in October & December. Each set will be available for a rather pricey 19,800 yen according to the Toei Video for this release.
To commemorate the release, Toei released a video featuring the returning actors from DekaRanger:
Though they aren’t quite as clear as the high quality scans we’ve gotten used to, a fresh batch of Detail of Heroes scans have popped up online showcasing the next rider for Drive, Kamen Rider Chaser!
Chaser of course is the former Proto-Drive & Mashin Chaser of the series and with his new status as a rider comes the equipment of one as well. A Mach Driver & Chaser Shift Bike of his own as well as the massive Signal Axe weapon. Look for Kamen Rider Chaser to debut on Kamen Rider Drive in the coming month!
After some good partial images early this week, we now have several full-page images featuring Shuriken Sentai Ninninger’s sixth member- StarNinger!
These scans offer us excellent details on StarNinger’s arsenal- in particular the Star SwordGun weapon that StarNinger uses to fight against the Yokai.
In addition the scans provide a close look at StarNinger’s Otomo-nin combo, RodeoMaru and the Bison Buggy! These two can combine to form a new Mecha, Bison King!
Be sure to join our ongoing Discussion Thread and share your thoughts on this upcoming Ninja Hero!
After a blurry image and a shaky on set video, the newest rider for Kamen Rider Drive has been fully revealed!
Sporting some snazy new white & purple looks & taking inspiration from Kamen Rider Mach, a Mach Driver, and using the new Chaser Shift bike, Chase makes his debut as Kamen Rider Chaser! A rider once already in his life, what can Chase bring to the table now?!
Discuss these new images by clicking “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post. And discuss any further rampant rumors for Drive in our posted rumors & speculations thread!
Did the Ninninger scans overtake your morning? Well how about one last ride down the rails with Ressha Sentai ToQger? Straight from the upcoming ToQger Returns V-Cinema we finally have confirmation on the identity of the newest addition to the team, ToQ 7 (ToQ Nanago)!
We’ve opted to post an edited version of the reveal image on the main page so as not to spoil everyone. Though it does confirm that we’ll be seeing Hyper ToQ 7 in this V-Cinema special as well. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full spoilerific image reveal for ToQ 7!
Likewise this image also confirms that we’ll be seeing the child & adult versions of the ToQgers team-up together! Shown here are the 2 versions of ToQ 1.
Today is the start of a fresh batch of magazine scans flooding the internet, so let’s start off with the sentai batches! From Shuriken Sentai Ninninger we have the following:
– Starninger civilian form. Real name Kinji Takigawa. Came from America & decided to be a ninja after encountering the Last Ninja, Yoshitaka Igasaki.
– Ninja Red & Hurricane Red Shurikens! From the upcoming 3 ninja team episode crossover. The Kakuranger ninshuriken will allow the user to create doubles while the Hurricanger ninshuriken allows the user to use the Huuricane Red’s Soragake technique.
– Rodeomaru & Bison King. Rodeomaru will be the core unit of Bison King much like Shinobimaru is for Shurikenjin.

New listings for Shuriken Sentai Ninningers’ April episodes have come online. The most interesting one listed is the 7th episode, currently scheduled to air April 12, 2015:
Emissaries From the Past
Summary: Tsumuji (Takaharu and Fuka’s father) brings in Ninja Red and Hurricane Red to teach the Ninningers.
Three generations of Ninja Sentai united! And as a side note, if the 39th Super Sentai premiere had not been delayed by tragic circumstances, this episode would instead be airing on April 5th 2015– exactly forty years to the day when the Super Sentai franchise began with Himitsu Sentai GoRanger.
At the time no other details about this apparent crossover are known. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ninja news!
