Thanks to this months issue of Figure-Oh Magazine we got some great updates on upcoming Figuarts releases. Likewise we get some more updates on Kamen Rider Fourze & Wizard Movie Wars Ultimatum! Revealed today are:
-The fates of the Original Kamen Rider Club! Gentaro the teacher, Ryusei the interpol agent, Yuki the astronaut, JK the Journalist, Kengo the researcher, Miu the model, Tomoko the author, and Shun the pro footbal player!
-The only current member of the Space Kamen Rider Club Miyoko, and her enemies the Monster Alliance
-The big bad tag-team of Sannagiman (Jiro Kazeda) and Herclues Zodiarts (Kagehito Banba)
-Potrines’ new civilian identity, Yu Uemura
Astute fans will notice the links between the new Sannagiman, Banba, and the Zebar device. All reinventions of concepts from the original Innazuman series. Could Jiro actually become the new modern Innazuman? Toeis’ recent trend of taking classic heroes and updating them with new actors (ala Gavan, Shaider, and Sharivan) could have set a precedent for this. Chōriki Shōrai!

Thought you’d be seeing the last of the world of Makai Knights in Garo: Dragon of the Blue Cry? Think again!
The official Garo twitter account has just revealed that a new Garo series, entitled Garo – The One Who Shines in the Darkness, is coming soon. What’s more interesting about this news is that it did not mention any of the original cast returning. Instead the main actor is said to be Wataru Kuriyama, and starring alongside him will be Junya Ikeda…better known as Gai Ikari/Gokai Silver in Gokaiger!
What does this mean, if anything, for the original Garo Kouga Saejima? Discuss the news after the jump!
