Exact story details for this epic crossover project remain unknown at time of writing.
Heisei Generations Forever is currently scheduled for release on December 22 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider reveals!
TODAY is the day the 20th and final Heisei-Era Kamen Rider series is released in Japan, and now we finally get a chance to hear some of the music accompanying our new hero Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Zi-O’s theme song is known as OVER QUARTZER. The song is performed by a pair of veteran tokusatsu musicians:
*Shuta Sueyoshi of the group AAA– who previously performed CLIMAX JUMP! during Kamen Rider Den-O.
*And ISSA from the group DA PUMP– previously known for performing Kamen Rider 555’s special song, JustiFaiz.
Be sure to tune in for Zi-O’s first episode & feel free to join in our official Kamen Rider Zi-O Episode 1 Discussion Thread to share your thoughts on this remarkable new Kamen Rider!
Kamen Rider Zi-O’s much-anticipated debut is right around the corner. Of course, what would a Kamen Rider be without his trusty gadgets? A plethora of new images were released today, showcasing the many weapons from Kamen Rider Zi-O.
This latest batch of images gives us a good look at Kamen Rider Geiz’spersonal sidearm: The DX ZikanZax. In addition, we have our first look at the DX Faiz Phone X including some pictures of how the roleplay toy will interact with the Jikan Driver itself.
Check out the full images by making the jump, and as always stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll bring you more updates as they become available.
A plethora of new images for the upcoming Kamen Rider Zi-O toyline have been released!
This is our best look yet at the Rider Kick Figure series- specifically the Rider Armor releases. These figures represent the powers of legendary Kamen Riders!
The next two releases in this series will be Rider Armors based on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Kamen Rider Ghost! Both Armors have reversible color patterns to better match the basic RKF bodies belonging to Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Geiz.
And as an extra bonus we have a close look at the new Riders’ method of transportation- the DX RideStriker! This is a unique motorcycle toy that transforms into a special RideWatch that can be used in the DX ZikuDriver.
With the premiere of Kamen Rider Zi-O only days away, merchandise is already on its way to store shelves! Be sure to stop by your preferred Rider retailer to stock up on all your Zi-O needs!
As time inches closer & closer to the premiere of the 20th Heisei-era Kamen Rider project Kamen Rider Zi-O, many fans have been wondering just how Toei would celebrate this momentous anniversary. While several characters from the series’ immediately before Zi-O were spotted filming, appearances from OLDER Rider shows has been a questionable factor.
Well, now at last we have confirmed more veteran Kamen Riders returning!
Two lead Riders from 2003’s Kamen Rider Faiz will be appearing in cameos alongside the final members of the Heisei Era-
*Kento Handa will resume his iconic role as the titular Kamen Rider Faiz
*Kouhei Murakami will take up the mantle of Kamen Rider Kaixa one more time.
The exact circumstances where these historic Riders meet up with new hero Zi-O are not known at time of writing. So be sure to join in our Official Zi-O Rumor Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears on this exciting new series!
And be sure to tune in September 2 2018 for the first episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O!
We are merely days away from the premiere of the 20th and final Heisei Era Kamen Rider series, and now we have been given a few quick shots at the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!
The highlights from this months’ scans include-
*Kamen Rider Zi-O & his counterpart Kamen Rider Geiz testing out their new henshin belts and weapons. Zi-O uses the Zikan Gilade sword while Geiz controls the Zikan Zax crossbow. Zi-O’s unique motorcycle, the RideStriker is also on display, rounding out his arsenal.
*The monstrous AnotherRiders are shown in full! These are corrupted versions of past Kamen Riders awakened by the villainous TimeJackers. The AnotherRider versions of Kamen Rider Build and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid will be Zi-Os’ first proper opponents.
*By defeating the AnotherRiders, Zi-O will gain the Riders’ powers. We get to see the effects of this thanks to Zi-O’s Armor Time– channeling new forms based on the past Rider in question. The form detailed in this months’ scan is the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid RideArmor! In this new configuration Zi-O gains powerful punching attacks thanks to new piston weapons.
*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz is shown obtaining the Kamen Rider Drive RideArmor! This new form grants Geiz powerful speed-kicks and control of Drive’s trademark ShiftCar.
*Looming over the Riders’ adventures is the sinister Demon King ZI-O! This figure is a golden corrupted version of Kamen Rider Zi-O from the same future as Kamen Rider Geiz- a world without hope ruled by a merciless king. Is this Zi-O’s ultimate fate? Only time will tell!
Kamen Rider Zi-O is officially scheduled to begin on September 2 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new Rider series!
The start of Kamen Rider Zi-O is right around the corner, and the new Rider Kicks Figure has many collectors excited. Thanks to some magazine scans, we have our first look at the Rider Kicks Figure Build Armor Time.
On its own, the RKS Armor Time Build doesn’t look like he has much going for it aside from some very limited elbow and knee joints. Other than that, it appears to be a hollow shell that you then attach to either Kamen Rider Zi-O or Geiz akin to the Level 1 forms from Ex-Aid’s gimmick line.
None the less, you can look forward to seeing this dropping in September, retailing for 1944 yen.
As you might recall, Tamashii Nations announced the S.H.Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project to coincide with the launch of Kamen Rider Zi-O and the end of the Heisei Era. Many are eager to see what will come of this announcement, and our first one comes in the form of the S.H.Figuarts 20 Kamen Rider Kicks reissues of older S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider figures.
What sets these Figuarts apart from their first releases is the fact that they’ll include special Tamashii Act stage stands: these stands include parts that will mimic one of Kamen Rider Zi-O’s Ride Watches in appearances and of course they’ll be themed after each corresponding Rider.
Each of these Figuarts will cost 5400 yen a piece, going in order, our first batch of releases will include Kamen Riders Build, Faiz, Gaim, Ex-Aid Blade, Den-O, Drive, and Ryuki with Drive and Den-O coming out January 2019.
This will be an excellent opportunity for those that may have missed out on these figures the first time around, or for those new to the fandom looking to dive head first into the fan favorite S.H.Figuarts line.
Following this mornings’ press conference, we have now learned a great deal about the cast of the 20th Heisei Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Here is what we know of the story so far:
*Kamen Rider Zi-O’s human name is Sougo Tokiwa. He’s described as “an ambitious young man who dreams of being a King.” Sougo’s catchphrase is “I feel like going somewhere!”
*Kamen Rider Geiz is actually a reference to the characters human name, Geiz Myokoin. He was sent back in time to kill Sougo before the Demon King can awaken.
*The female lead is also a time traveler; Tsukoyomi tries to guide Sougo & Geiz on the right path.
*Sougo’s great-uncle Junichiro Tokiwa will run the “hangout” area this season- a boutique called the Kujigojido Shop. He is a watchmaker & knows a lot about past Kamen Riders.
*To stop the Demon King from awakening & destroying the future, Zi-O & Geiz will travel through time to meet with past Kamen Riders. The cast of Kamen Rider Build and several faces from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid are shown returning to greet these new heroes!
*The villains are known as the TimeJackers and they come from the future to replace Zi-O with their own King- via candidates known as Another Riders– people found in other times & granted powers similar to Kamen Riders with devices called AnotherWatches. These AnotherRiders appear as monstrous versions of past Kamen Riders. By defeating them, Zi-O & Geiz will gain the powers of past Riders.
*Schwartz is the name of the TimeJackers’ leader- described as a violent older man. He is aided by a woman named Aura who can convince others to willingly accept AnotherRider powers. Accompanying them is a young man by the name of Wool who playfully experiments with time for his own amusement.
*A mysterious figure known as Wars appears to both the Riders & the TimeJackers. This man is described as “a prophet from the future” and reads tales of heroic actions from his unique book.
