The Armored Riders are about to face all-new challenges!

Recently-released magazine scans give us our first real look at the new breed of “Energy Riders” that will be appearing in Kamen Rider Gaim relatively soon. These new Riders use the Genesis Driver to transform and extract more power from the LockSeeds. Each Energy Rider also uses a weapon known as the Sonic Arrow.

The Energy Riders’ apparent leader is Shin Zangetsu after trading his Sengoku Driver for a Genesis model.

Kamen Rider Duke is actually

Spoiler:
Ryoma Sengoku, inventor of the Drivers
who uses the Lemon LockSeed to transform

Kamen Rider Marika is the first FEMALE RIDER in this Rider War, using the Peach LockSeed to fight! Her real name is

Spoiler:
Youko Minato

Kamen Rider Sigurd is the only Energy Rider whose face is unknown. But he will use the Cherry LockSeed in combat!

Lastly, the scans also reveal a very interesting team-up between Gaim & Baron that fans are guaranteed to enjoy! Definitely a fresh spin on things coming down the road!

The “Hesei VS Showa” Rider Movie War is a go!

This early teaser image confirms an epic crossover of Kamen Rider heroes, and shows off a few veteran Kamen Riders coming back to the fold!

Returning heroes include Renn Kiriyama as Kamen Rider W and Masahiro Inoue as Kamen Rider Decade!

“Hesei VS Showa” premieres March 29, 2014 and should make for an interesting year of Kamen Rider!

This one may throw some people for a loop. Speculation has run rampant about which Armored Riders in Kamen Rider Gaim will survive the longest.But it would appear that Armored/Kamen Rider Kurokage has just tripled his chances of survival.

This image has begun circulating on 2chan and shows what appears to be 3 identical Armored Rider Kurokage’s! Only time will tell what this image means. If there can be an army of Watermelon Arms users in the glimpse of the future from episode 1, why not a batalion of Kurokage’s as well?

In honor of the recently-released “Faithful Sengoku Movie Battle,” Toei has released a short video highlighting the production of their latest Kamen Rider VS project!

The behind-the-scenes experience lets us see filming setups and grants some brief interviews with the cast and crew. Definitely worthwhile viewing for Kamen Rider fans!

Merry Christmas!

 

Our heroes Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Ryugen need to find out just what exactly is happening at the Yggdrasill tower and what part exactly they play in the Inves monsters and the mysterious Hellheim Forest. The only way to do so is to draw the attention of Kamen Rider Zangetsu away so that our heroes can investigate. That can only mean one thing – a new game to gain points for all the other Beat Riders!

The first episode to feature every single Armored Rider in the series thus far – Kamen Rider Gaim, Kamen Rider Baron, Kamen Rider Ryugen, Kamen Rider Zangetsu, Kamen Rider Kurokage, Kamen Rider Gridon, and Kamen Rider Bravo – sets up the stage for an epic battle where (hopefully) many answers will finally be revealed!

But can they pull it off? Click the ”Discuss on the Tokunation forums” link at the bottom right of this news post to vote in our episode poll and join the discussion! If you haven’t had a chance to watch the episode yet – good news! Aesir has the subtitles out! You can find all that information by clicking here.

If the DX Watermelon Arms seems out of reach to you, Banpresto’s revealed a perfect substitute.

While it might not transform or have much in the way of articulation, Banpresto did reveal that they will be making a Suika Arms to go with their super deformed WFC line.

Price and Release dates will be announced at a later date, but we do know that the figure will stand 14mm tall to be properly in scale with the rest of the figure waves.

Breifly alluded to in episode 9 of Kamen Rider Gaim, it looks like the energy riders will be appearing sooner than we’d thought. And, it appears we already know at least one  of them.

Of course we already knew that Shin Zangetsu would be Zangetsu’s upgraded form so no secret identity there.  However, Kamen Rider Duke is in fact

Spoiler:
Ryoma Sengoku, the creator of the Sengoku drivers!

And Kamen Rider Marika will be a young woman named

Spoiler:
Yoko Minato.

The identity of the Cherry Energy Rider, Kamen Rider Sigurd, is still a mystery. But if you’d like to see the image confirming the identities of Marika & Duke then click this story for the spoilery goodness.

Recent scans surfacing on 2chan[/URL] have showcased a few previously unrevealed Kamen Rider Gaim DX toys, as well as what appears to be his Gaim’s speculated upgraded form. A silhouette can be seen in the background of the first image which appears close to the same possible alternate Gaim form we may or may not have seen in the shows opening[/URL] back in October.

Also seen are the E.L.S 01 Kachidoki Energy Lock Seed which allows Gaim to obtain this new form. And we get a first look at the new DJ Gun weapon. These items are both scheduled for release in March at 2000 yen for the Seed and 5500 yen for the DJ Gun.
