The 8th Ressha on the Rainbow Line has officially been released in Japan, and reviewers are now examining this new alternative-fueled fighter!
The main combination of Diesel, Tank & Car Carrier is explored by Youtube reviewer “wotakufighter” while the fusion of all eight Resshas is performed by “k2eizo” along with some extra details.
Any fan who was lucky enough to preorder the Diesel Ressha or DieselOh set should keep a close eye on their mailboxes; orders should be shipping out very soon!
The first teaser for the upcoming annual Super Sentai/Kamen Rider summer movie double bill is now online!
While there’s not much new footage in this preview, it does offer a glimpse at the special attendee bonus gifts: Anyone attending the screenings in Japan will receive a special new DX Ressha and DX Lock Seed (exact details for both are not yet confirmed).
The ToQGer and Gaim Summer Movies premiere in theaters July 19!
The original trio of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back together for the first time in a month! Join Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu)) in their latest adventure of discussing all things tokusatsu! The last time the group was together was before events like NJCC and LexCon, and now that they’re together, they spend some time remembering the conventions. Listen to Tom’s story of how he missed purchasing a holy grail for his collection by a matter of minutes! Find out what Steve Cardenas (Rocky, Mighty Morphin Red Power Ranger #2, Zeo Blue Power Ranger) did to troll Jordan at LexCon!
Gears shift as the crew then discusses the recent developments on Kamen Rider Gaim. What was everyone’s most “OMG” moment when watching the show? What are their thoughts on DJ Sagura? The trainbow is tasted once more as Tom and Jordan discuss the Shadow Line extensively with Ressha Sentai ToQGer and Jordan makes a bold prediction for just who ToQ #6 will end up being! Finally, Chris gushes over the episode “Spirit of the Tiger” from Power Rangers Super Megaforce. But, as with anything Power Rangers related, someone ends up hogging the spotlight as the crew discusses, for the last time in a public format, the entire debacle that was Morphin Madness Round 3.
For those who were caught up heavily in Morphin Madness, this is your chance to get the scoop behind the controversial Twitter campaign with the hash tag #NoMoreTommy from the creator of that movement himself – Jordan. What was the real purpose behind it? Was there any spite attached to it, and if so, why? Jordan reveals all this episode. Check out the episode details below and take a listen for yourself!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties with the audio on this podcast. The problem has been identified and will be corrected going forward, but sadly the original source for the audio is lost forever, meaning the only way you can hear this episode is through the current quality. After spending a few days trying to fix the audio from the source material, the decision was made by all three hosts to release the episode because, honestly, we thought it was a pretty damn good episode. We do apologize for the lackluster quality of the audio and hope you will still give the episode a listen. Again, future episodes will not have this problem.

The latest round of ToQGer toy scans is now online!
For starters we now have the first look at Toq6’s main Resshas, a pair of orange vehicles known as the Build Resshas. Their (unrevealed) combined form is known as “Build DaiOh!”
We also get to see the movie-exclusive remold of ToQOh, called “Safari GaOh!”
In addition we see four new Legacy Resshas from previous Super Sentai teams: Gokaiger, Goseiger, Shinkenger and Go-Onger Resshas!
Last but certainly not least we get a quick look at a new weapon for the ToQGers- the “DaiKaiten Cannon,” which fires multiple Resshas by rotating new tracks into attack form. The Daikaiten Cannon will be sold with a special golden repaint of the Red Ressha.
Definitely a lot of good things coming down the tracks from ToQGer!
As you know by now, this weeks regular Super Hero Time programming is being replaced by a very special crossover. This hour long special is Kamen Rider Gaim VS Ressha Sentai ToQger!
Serving as a prelude to the Heisei VS Showa Featuring Super Sentai film, this special will mark only the second time ever that a currently running Rider & Sentai will share a storyline. The first being Kamen Rider Decade & Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. This special is labelled as Episode SP for both series and chronologically should take place between Gaim episodes 26 & 27 and ToQger 6 & 7.
The episode itself airs shortly in Japan and subs will of course be up later in the week from our favorite groups. For now click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our stickied discussion thread/poll for this special in the News and Rumors section.
Toei has opened an official page for the annual tokusatsu summer movie double bill!
Details are sparse at the moment but the Gaim/ToQGer Roadshow is scheduled for July 19 meaning films should be in theaters by the end of July. This is a step up from previous years (usually the Super Sentai & Kamen Rider films have been released in mid to late August).
Stay tuned to TokuNation for more details on these fresh and colorful summer antics!
While Gaim undoubtedly takes center stage in this round of magazine scans, ToQGer does have one impressive reveal-
This is our first glimpse at their second Mecha, DiseslOh! Formed through a combination of Car Carrier, Tank & Diesel Resshas, the DieselOh is widely believed to be the personal Mecha of ToQ6. Only time will tell for sure; the Diesel Ressha should be introduced in the series shortly before its DX toy release at the end of April.
Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all train arrivals & departures!
A complete teaser for the upcoming Super Sentai and Kamen Rider crossover “Gaim VS ToQGer” is now online after first airing with ToQGer episode six yesterday.
This special team-up will replace the regular Super Hero Time programming block on March 29– only a week away now! Be sure to tune in and discuss your thoughts with TokuNation!
Two new Support Resshas for the Rainbow Line have just hit store shelves in Japan, and Youtube reviewer “wotakufighter” has put up reviews for both!
This is the DX Tank Ressha
And here’s the DX Car Carrier Ressha
Car Carrier first appeared in ToQGer episode 5 and Tank Ressha is set to appear (in full) during this weekends’ episode!
Both can be purchased now from your tokusatsu merchandiser of choice, and they will also be re-released as part of a special 3-pack (bundled with Diesel Ressha) in late April!
As reported by orendsrange.com, recent scans have revealed that Narutaki, nemesis of Kamen Rider Decade will be playing a role in the much anticipated Ressha Sentai Toqger/Gaim crossover special.
His exact involvement isn’t known, but from the images we do know that he’ll have is own monkey puppet and will be appearing along side a monster called Mouraroid.
As this special is a prequel to Heisei VS Showa, this most likely means that the whatever causes the events of Heisei VS Showa, it’s probably Decade’s fault.
