In a similar fashion to last years Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger news, the fine people at Shout! Factory have just dropped another bombshell on the tokusatsu fandom. When asked by a fan in the audience at tonight’s San Diego Comic Con 2015 panel, “Will we get a new tokusatsu title?” they were able to reply yes. And that title is Gosei Sentai Dairanger!

Fans in the west will undoubtedly recognize the footage from this show as it was utilized for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2 as well as the character Kiba Ranger who was adapted as the Mighty Morphin White Ranger. Still yet people may recall the “new powers” of Power Rangers Super Megaforce where the Dairanger suits were shown on American TV for the first time.

For now it’s safe to assume that this DVD set will follow the same formula as Shouts Zyuranger DVDs at a similar price point for  the entire series in one set.

The latest promo for Power Rangers Super Megaforce Episode 2 “Earth Fights Back” has a very surprising new element!

As explained by Gosei, the Legendary Powers can also unlock Ranger Forms that were never seen on Earth- specifically, the “DaiRanger” costumes that were passed over during “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” Season 2 and have never been used by Saban before now!

What other surprises might Super Megaforce have in store?? Tune in February 23 and find out!!

Jeff Pruit, a director and stunt coordinator for early Power Rangers episodes, has released some video footage of the filming of Dairanger (recorded in preparation for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2).

This gives us some incredibly rare firsthand looks at the extensive work that goes into filming a Super Sentai series, examining everything from suit work to stunt filming!

Or for those unfamiliar with the DaiRangers, an incredibly rare (lucky draw?) red Saba sword (the sword used by the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers White Ranger). The exact details of when this item was released, or how widely available it was (lucky draw, contest, give-away, etc.) are totally unknown as of the time of this posting.

Our friends at Tempting Toys & Collectibles have acquired this incredibly rare piece. For those who have enjoyed the rare and hard to find lucky draw items for various Transformers toy lines, Tempting Toys & Collectibles have always been one of the more reputable and well-known businesses in the higher-end toy collectible world.

Since the suit footage from Gosei Sentai Dairanger wasn’t used at all in Power Rangers, people speculated that Saban wouldn’t be using the footage from Gokaiger where the Dairanger suits were used, but now it doesn’t look to be the case.

New footage shown during SDCC reveals that Saban will be keeping the Gokaiger suit footage. The new clip showed the Megaforce Rangers preparing to change into their Super Megaforce forms, and from there changing into the Dairangers.

It appears Saban will be keeping the footage, but how they’ll explain the appearance of a team that hasn’t appeared anywhere else in Power Rangers is still a mystery.

Welcome to another round of Let’s Watch Wednesdays at Tokunation.com! This week we discuss the following:

Both Episode FINAL and 13 Riders feature dramatically different takes on the Kamen Rider Ryuki storyline, with Episode FINAL taking place towards the end of the series(taking the place of the last few episodes), and 13 Riders featuring an ending that viewers had to vote for at the time of airing(amongst other differences).

In addition, a few new Riders are introduced such as Kamen Rider Femme, the only female rider in the Ryuki-verse, and Kamen Rider Verde! Does Asano Megumi have competition in the beauty department with Kirishima Miho? What connection does Asakura have with Miho?

Throughout the Kamen Rider Ryuki TV series we never saw Shinji really give into his dark side, yet we find the epitome of that in the form of Kamen Rider Ryuga from Episode FINAL!
