Some new high quality images have been released giving us our best look yet at the newest Kamen Rider hero- Kamen Rider Saber!

Kamen Rider Saber draws power from the Seiken SworDriver and the strange artifacts known as WonderRide Books.

There are 3 type of WonderRide Books-

*Divine Creature
*Sacred Animal
*Fairy Tale

Sabers’ signature Book is the Divine Creature Brave Dragon which grants powerful fire attacks.

Kamen Rider Saber has 2 more WonderRide Books in his arsenal:

*Peter Fantasia transforms Saber into Kamen Rider Saber Dragon Peter
*Jack & The Beanstalk unlocks the Kamen Rider Saber Dragon Jackun form.

And Saber will not be fighting alone! A second Rider has been officially confirmed in these early scans- Kamen Rider Blaze! Blaze uses the Sacred Animal Lion Senki WonderRide Book to transform; his forms have a Water element in contrast to Sabers’ fire.

Finally, 3 WonderRide Books based on Sabers’ predecessor Kamen Rider Zero-One are included in the scans! These Books are the Hidden Story Of Hidden, A.I.M.S. Animal File & Metsuboujinrai Monsters.

Kamen Rider Saber officially begins September 6 2020!

One interesting Super Sentai item has been discovered among this months’ magazine pages- a teaser image for a new Mashin Sentai Kiramager Mecha!

This appears to be the configuration listed as Zabyu-N in previous toy listings. The Mecha is a modified version of the King Express– featuring an updated design for Mashin Express and no longer requiring the Smog Jouki to complete the combination.

Be sure to join in our Ongoing Kiramager Discussion Thread to share your thoughts on this new entry in the Kiramagers’ arsenal!

After some early teasers and a lot of speculation, we have our first look at the second Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era– Kamen Rider Saber!

Kamen Rider Saber transforms using the Seiken SworDriver– which is also his primary weapon.

Sabers’ powers come from WonderRide Books which offer new powers or transformations when used in the Driver. Kamen Rider Sabers’ signature Book is Brave Dragon. Two other WonderRides are shown for Saber- Peter Fantasista and Jack & The Beanstalk.

A SECOND Rider is also teased- this character is known as Kamen Rider Blaze! Blaze transforms using the Lion Chronicles WonderRide Book.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting new chapter in Kamen Rider history!

A week ago we celebrated Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever being officially released and subtitled in North America.  Because of your response to the sale that Bluefin Brands and Team Kamen Rider did on their merchandise we are pleased to share with you that three new official Kamen Rider shirts are available to order via Amazon.com!

As with the previous releases these shirts are available in a variety of colors and in USA sizing.  As a personal owner of the previous shirts the quality is fantastic – I recommend going one size larger just because they are a bit snug.

Happy shopping!

Take this with a grain of salt for now, but we may have the first toy listings for the next Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider SABER!

The listings offer a treasure trove of potential new information for this upcoming series. Details of note include-

*Multiple Riders once again! The listings indicate a possible total of SEVEN Riders, with the first 3 using one type of henshin device while the next group have a different belt & Driver setup.

*The collector gimmick for this series appears to be Crests– which have different elemental abilities.

*The Riders apparently draw powers using a fusion of animals and elements- the Rider #1 listing (presumably Saber himself) comes with Dragon/Fire crests while the second rider has Lion/Water as a set.

*Strangely, the series also appears to make reference to classic literature and fairy tales- with the toy listings including references to Peter Pan, Aladdin, Three Little Pigs & Journey To The West.

If all these items are true, Kamen Rider Saber could be a very unique series! However, keep in mind at this stage all details are subject to change & remain pending official confirmation.

Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Kamen Rider reveals!
