Legendary voice actor Goro Naya, the voice behind the Great Leader of the evil organization Shocker has sadly passed away at age 83.

In addition to playing the Great Leader since the beginning of “Kamen Rider” through the recent 40th anniversary film, Goro Naya was the voice behind several iconic anime characters- including Inspector Zenigata of Lupin III and Captain Juzo Okita in Space Battleship Yamato

He will be deeply missed :(

We must be getting pretty close to the in show reveal of Kyoryugold because an image with a clear look at the costume has finally surfaced! Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger’s 7th ranger so far has been rumored to be Torin himself but right now that rumor is unconfirmed. Oddly there appears to be an image of Magired blacked out behind Kyoryugold. Is that a clue that we may get another Magiranger alum in sentai ala Beet Buster? Possible.

Some new Super Hero Taisen Z images also tease us. One image in particular features Tokusou Sentau Dekaranger, Choushinsei Flashman, Kamen Riders Meteor & Fourze, Space Sheriff Gavan, and Kamen Rider Super-1. And of course what would a team up movie be without the plot device/hole that is Kamen Rider Decade? Who isn’t really space themed.

Thanks to HJU, The plot for the Kamen Rider Kiva and Blade novels have been revealed. While the Kiva novel is a retelling of the series with new elements, much like the Agito and Kabuto novels, the Blade novel is a continuation of the series and thus may contain spoilers for those that have yet to watch or finish Blade: 



Spoiler:
The novel is set 300 years after the TV show, during his travels an amnesic Kenzaki finds himself on a prison island. There he may encounter Kamen Rider Chalice, making him the only still living character from the TV Show due to his status as an Undead
