Check out the trailer for the upcoming Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club special for Kamen Rider Punk Jack (from Kamen Rider Geats). The trailer features music made specifically for the special – Rollin’ Rollin’ Punk King – which the full song releases soon. This is a Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club special and set to release online on May 21st.
The story is set as a prequel to the events in Kamen Rider Geats, transitioning in to a “midquel” as the history of Win Hareruya is told (ahead of his upcoming return in Kamen Rider Geats).
The second upcoming special advertised for the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club today is for fan-favorite Kamen Rider Punk Jack from this year’s Kamen Rider Geats. The popular character was eliminated from the Desire Grand Prix earlier in the series and has yet to return. No official details yet as to the exact release but when it is announced we’ll update the article.
Members of the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club will be eating good later this year as fan-favorite Kamen Rider Shinobi (from Kamen Rider Zi-O) returns to team up with Kamen Rider Tycoon (from Kamen Rider Geats). At the time of this posting there is no official announcement (aside from a brief commercial) from Toei. As soon as we get updates (when it comes out, etc.) we’ll update the story.

As you can probably expect from an S.H. Figuarts 15th anniversary event Kamen Rider takes centre stage in many of the displays of the exhibit, and as the currently airing series Kamen Rider Geats as a few brand new reveals! On display for the first time is Kamen Rider Na-Go Beat Form, the feline alter-ego of Neon Kurama wielding the Beat Buckle.
Another brand new reveal is Kamen Rider Geats Fever Magnum and Fever Boost – the special power up from Geats takes when the Feverslot Buckle grants him two of the same power-up.
Both items are display-only for the time being, but we’ll bring you more information on their release as it comes!
We are excited to premiere a short, independent fan-film from our friend Gem at Prawnhorn Heroes based on Kamen Rider Geats! For those who don’t follow Kamen Rider Geats, the show is essentially about a group of individuals competing in a “Squid Games” type game titled the “Desire Grand Prix”. The winner will have their wish granted. The losers either have their memories erased or, if they fall in battle during the DGP, they are “eliminated”. Going in to any more detail than that risks potential spoilers.
Here is the official description of “The Lost Na-Go” along with film credits.
The Lost Na-Go is an independent tokusatsu short fan film about a guy named Ben that has been chosen to enter the Desire Grand Prix. Having the desire to change his future, he sets on the journey to find his buckle to continue participating in the Grand Prix.
After being inspired by projects like Power Rangers Unworthy, Jammingers, & Bloodline of the Grid to name a few, I always wondered what an American indie Kamen Rider project would look like. With that, The Lost Na-Go amongst other unnamed projects were born. While I heavily take influence from the shows proper, I also hope to create original stories that feel more like adaptations. My goal is to keep bringing more stories inspired by my favorite tokusatsu shows for fans who love them just as much as I do. Why not start with some Kamen Rider?
