A new round of magazine scans has hit the Internet, giving us some hints at the future for new hero Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

This time we learn a bit about the FIFTH Rider in this series- Kamen Rider Lazer! Lazer’s true name is Kiriya Kujo (played by Hayato Onozuka,) a close friend of the hero Emu. Unlike the other Riders seen thus far, Lazer’s Level 2 is not a humanoid form. Instead, Lazer becomes Kamen Rider Ex-Aids’ motorcycle. Lazer will have to wait until Level 3 to fight like other Riders.

Speaking of which, the first Level 3 form is revealed in these scans! Kamen Rider Gemn will combine with his Shakariki Sports Gashat to receive some unique combat armor.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid premieres this Sunday- October 2 2016! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting new series!
