Some new images for the upcoming Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden special have been posted online.

This story will introduce Amagi Kureshima the father of Takatora and Mitsuzane. Amagi is portrayed by none other than Minori Terada– better known to most Kamen Rider fans as Ryubee Sonozaki of Kamen Rider W!

As previously reported, two new Kamen Riders will appear in this special. The magazine scans have revealed their identities but we will keep those details hidden out of respect for fans who wish to remain unspoiled:

*Kamen Rider Idunn

Spoiler:
is Touka Akatsuki a servant of the Kureshima household. Idunn has the power to control Helheim Cracks at will.

*Kamen Rider Tyrant

Spoiler:
Alfred, the Kureshima butler.

Last but not least, the story will introduce a new class of Invess: the Super Overlord. A mysterious new creature named Shaboole is the first (and perhaps only) creature of this kind.

Gaim Gaiden will be released on DVD & Blu-Ray April 22!

The story of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is as follows – The Yokai were sealed away roughly three generations ago by Igasaki Yoshitaki, the Last Ninja. But around the time that Igasaki Yoshitaki passes away, the Yokai revive and it is up to his descendants, five cousins, to come together as a team and defeat the Yokai. Our heroes are not yet fully developed as ninjas and thus train together in the dojo run by Igasaki Tsumuji, the father of AkaNinger and ShrioNinger.

The good people at RangerCrew have uploaded some interesting new character bios for the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge season. This is our first look at the personality traits found in the new Ranger team!

*Tyler Navarro, the leader of the Rangers, is a free-spirited adventurer with a huge heart. Determined to solve the mystery of his fathers’ disappearance, this curious and energetic Ranger is nothing to mess with when it comes to defeating evil. For Tyler, making friends is easy- but will defending Earth be just as simple?

*Shelby Watkins is known to leap before she looks, and her amazing bravery is matched by her incredible knowledge of dinosaurs. She’s strong-willed, stubborn and a nightmare for any evil villain. Even though Shelby may seem pretty serious she does have a softer side… especially where the Red Ranger is concerned!

*Riley Griffin may be quiet, but his intelligence and amazing discipline speaks loud and clear. After leaving his family ranch to defend Earth, Riley’s confidence and incredible sword skills have made him a fierce member of the Ranger team. With a love for brainteasers and battling evil, Riley is one well-rounded Ranger.

*Even though Chase Randall is from New Zealand, he can feel at home anywhere as long as he’s riding his beloved skateboard. Chase may be a flirt, but meet him on the battlefield & you’ll be flirting with disaster.

*Koda is the oldest Dino Charge Ranger… by 100,000 years! It may be funny to watch this caveman maneuver the modern world, but his incredible strength and natural intuition are no laughing matter. This prehistoric Ranger has a heart of gold, and will stop at nothing to defend Earth.

While some fans may note similarities between these character outlines and the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger counterparts, a few new twists have been added for American audiences.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Dino Charge details!
