Movie wars Ultimatum features Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider Meteor, Kamen Rider Nadeshiko, Bisoujou Kamen Poitrine, Sanagiman of Inazuman, and more than likely Wizards’ secondary rider! Will this film be as great and successful as last years Megamax film? Only time will tell, and for American fans it’s going to be one painfully long wait.

Fresh off the unveiling of Kamen Rider Fourze and Wizard Movie Wars Ultimatum yesterday we now have confirmation of it’s writing staff! Returning to write the Fourze portion of the film, set 5 years after the series end with Gentarou as a teacher at Amanogawa, is the series head writer himself Kazuki Nakashima! Of course this would be unsurprising wouldn’t it?
However the big reveal here is that Wizards’ head writer Tsuyoshi Kida will NOT be writing the Wizard portion of the film. Kida is best known for his beautiful work writing the first 29 episodes of Kamen Rider Hibiki before the series had an abrupt shift and for better or worse Kida was replaced with Toshiki Inoue. Many fans had hoped that Kidas’ attachment to Wizard would bring that same flare and originality to the series. So far it has.
However the Wizard portion of Movie Wars Ultimatum will in fact be written by Yoshio Urasawa of such sentais as Gekisou Sentai Carranger and Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger! How does this revelation make you feel about the film? Is this a smart decision on Toei’s part? What can we expect from Urasawa who has never written for Kamen Rider before?

The October issue of Televi-Kun magazine has provided fans of Kamen Rider Wizard with a first look at the titular Rider’s first power up form – Flame Dragon Style! Using the Flame Dragon Ring, Wizard transforms bringing out the power of his inner Phantom – the WizarDragon.
As well as a look at this new form, the magazine has also revealed a look at some new rings in Wizard’s arsenal. While in Flame Dragon Style, using the Special Ring makes he head of the WizarDragon will appear on Wizard’s chest which he can then shoot powerful flames from. Meanwhile, the Drill Ring allows Land Style to spin at high speeds and attack the Phantoms. The Extend Ring allows Wizard’s left hand to stretch. The Please Ring, as seen in episode 4, transfers magical power from one person to another while the Smell Ring is used to release a horrible odour.
Finally, the magazine also provided more images of the mysterious White Wizard and a teaser of Wizard’s next power up!
Check out the images after the jump!

While it was announced at the end of Kamen Rider Fourze that the space-loving rider would be reappearing at the end of the year in a crossover movie with current rider Kamen Rider Wizard, little else was announced other than the release date. However the latest issue of Televi-Kun magazine has revealed that the movie will be titled Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie Wars Ultimatum!
Further scans from the magazine also reveal that the movie will be set five years after the end of Fourze, the return of Kamen Rider Nadeshiko and the guest appearances of Sanagiman from Inazuman and the magical girl Patrine from the series Pretty Mask Poitrine!
Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie Wars Ultimatum is set to be released in December 2012! Stay tuned to TokuNation for more information as it comes!

And we’re back for another round of Superhero Time updates!
As has been the recent trend Gobuster continues to improve! This week Tokumei Sentai Gobuster scored 5.1% which is up from last weeks 4.6%. Alot of this however can be explained by this weeks crossover with Uchuu Keiji Gavan Type G. Looking forward to next week’s finale of the crossover it’s safe to assume that Gobuster will have another good showing. This is the first time in 12 years that a Space Sheriff has been on television and it seems that people were ready for their return!
Kamen Rider Wizard is also up slightly, with a 6.6% rating, from last weeks 6.4%. This could also be thanks to the Gavan bump which Gobuster received. Viewers tuning in for the crossover probably stuck around after and pushed Wizard up a few percentage points. But Wizard is still a new and hot show, with ratings that are sure to change more and more.
So what did you think about this weeks new episodes? Head on over to our discussion threads here Gobuster 31 and here Wizard 4 to voice your opinions. Keep it tuned to Tokunation for any further updates!

This week Tokunation takes another look at the ratings for Kamen Rider Wizard and Tokumei Sentai Gobsuters! Gobusters has limped it’s way along up until recently when it’s last several episodes received a decent ratings boost, most likely because of the shift in plot and thanks to the premiere of Kamen Rider Wizard.
Now it seems that after a decent showing the past 2 weeks that Gobusters has dropped once again to 4.6%. That’s significantly down from last weeks 5.2% ratings. With Mission 30 having tied up the majority of loose plot threads (aside from a certain sleeping beauty ;) ) and a crossover with Gavan Type G coming up, it’s anyone’s guess as to how things could change. Kamen Rider Wizard on the other hand scored a 6.4% rating which is also down from it’s previous 2 episodes. But this series is still quite early in so we can expect a bit more fluctuation from it.
As Gobusters’ story and pacing improves along with it’s catchy new theme song and Wizard begins to take its’ place in the pantheon of riders we can expect to see these numbers change quite a bit. Will Tokumei Sentai Gobuster become the worst rated sentai in history? Will Kamen Rider Wizard push forward and keep above the low ratings suffered by Fourze? Stay tuned to Tokunation.com to find out!

A fun topic that seems to spark a lot of conversation on the TokuNation.com Forums is the ratings of both Kamen Rider Wizard as well as Go-Busters. As we’ve previously mentioned, Go-Busters is on pace right now to be the lowest rated Super Sentai series of all time, doing even worse than OhRanger, which was the previous all time record holder for worst television ratings ever.
And don’t forget that Kamen Rider Fourze was abysmal in the ratings department, but the show managed to save face if only because of outstanding merchandise sales for the Fourze Driver and the various switches.
So how did the shows do this week?
Kamen Rider Wizard posted a 7.8% rating, up from it’s premiere of 7.1%. This single episode of Kamen Rider is the highest rated episode since Episode 12 of Kamen Rider OOO. That’s November 2010 for those of you keeping track.
Go-Busters pulled in a 5.2%, tying the series high set back on Mission 08. This can be creditted both to the fact that more people are watching Kamen Rider Wizard and, just maybe, the fact that Go-Busters is doing a unique “shake-up” … a new intro, a new theme song, and apparently a new main villain. And to quote some of our users here that are still watching, “What is this!? There’s an actual STORY in Go-Busters?!”
It’ll be interesting to see how this coming weekend’s numbers look. Will Kamen Rider Wizard continue to move up, breaking the 8.0% mark? Will Go-Busters reclaim some respect and adoration, or is it destined to be the worst rated Super Sentai of all time?
Stay tuned!

Is magic real? Do you not have to have the Wizardriver to be able to use magic? And how about those fight scenes?
