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.

Out of left field today comes scans of an upcoming Kamen Rider S.I.C. release – Kamen Rider Zangetsu Jimber Melon Arms! This is more of a “What if?” form, as it was never shown in the Kamen Rider Gaim show nor has this form ever been released at any other time. Basically – what if Kamen Rider Zangetsu got a Genesis Driver core and used his Melon Energy Lockseed along with his Melon Lockseed?

Kamen Rider Zangetsu Jimber Melon Arms is what you’d get! Pre-orders open tomorrow as this is a Premium Bandai release. Get in touch with your middle man today!

Best Match!

We’re currently only 4 episodes into Kamen Rider Build and we’ve already gotten a tease of the upcoming figure of his base form, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Form! Interestingly enough, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid was also revealed just after that series’ 4th episode last year. Though Build actually premiered earlier in the year than Ex-Aid.

Currently we have no release date information or pricing for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build, but now that this image is circulating it will only be a matter of time! Thanks to the fine folks at @SHFindo for originally posting it.
