Let's talk about the Tokusatsu genre

[Sparda's rejected son]

Misora doesn't get enough screen time. I demand a V- Cinema purely dedicated to her. Do you hear me Toei, make it so! As for Kyuranger Garu is adorable. And Champ is back!
But the latest Kyuranger episode felt rushed, also freakin' tell me how Don Armage survived already!
@lorddemolatron You are usually good at gathering magazine scans. Have you stumbled upon Sentai and/or Rider photo books/scans?

 

[lorddemolatron]

Actually for now i not seen any of those JP magazine and toy catalog scans on KR or sentai so for now im assuming its small hiatus in JP only once seen leak of second rider name in KR build for now:

Kamen Rider Build's second quarter toy catalog has surfaced, revealing Kamen Rider Cross' new form and two new Riders!

For starters, Kamen Rider Cross gets a new form, the Kamen Rider Cross Charge. In addition, we will also meet two new Riders, Kamen Rider Grease and Kamen Rider Rogue. These three will all use the same transformation device, the Scrush Driver. Inserting the Dragon Scrush Jelly, Kamen Rider Cross transforms into Cross Charge, while Kamen Rider Grease uses the Robot Scrush Jelly to transform.

These two will use the same weapon, the Twin Breaker, a gun mounted on the wrist. In addition, you can set two Full Bottles to launch a powerful attack. These items are expected for December release, and will likely debut in the series before the year ends or in the New Year.

Kamen Rider Rogue on the other hand, uses the Crocodile Crack Full Bottle to transform. His primary weapon is the Nebula Steam Gun, which in the DX toy version, comes with the Gear Engine and Gear Remocon (remote controller). He also has two allies called Kaizers that will use the Nebula Steam Gun and said Gears to transform. Lastly, the DX Nebula Steam Gun and combine with the DX Steam Blade. These items are expected for a February release.

Seen beside are the Medal Full Bottle and the Friendship Full Bottle, which represents Kamen Riders OOO and Fourze respectively. These items are set for a December release, and will likely appear in the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL film.

So I watched the Ultraman Geed preview special and I must say I am hooked. Particularly with the girl who wields a sword, she is very attractive. Also modern Ultraman gimmicks are corny to view in acrion. Take a tip from Toei guys, they made oranges, and strawberries look cool.
Oranges for Buddha's sake!

Toei has unveiled new posters for the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Riders film alongside with more info about the film.

The new posters features the heroes both in their civilian and transformed forms. What's interesting is that in the poster that features our heroes as Kamen Riders, we see a bunch of foot soldiers with "X" markings in their face and chest, causing fans to speculate that they are related to Foundation X, an evil organization first introduced in Kamen Rider W.

The film's main villain is Mogami Kaisei, a violent, evil scientist bent on annihilating all humans. One of the biggest enemies the Kamen Riders will face, he will be played by musician and writer Kenji Ohtsuki.

Now for some more returning characters, Kamen Rider Fourze's JK (played by Shion Tsuchiya) and Chuta Ohsugi (played by Takushi Tanaka) will appear in said film. As previously revealed in the Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie Wars Ultimatum, JK is now journalist while Ohsugi is still a teacher at Amanogawa High.

As previously reported, Kamen Rider Ghost's Onari (played by Takayuki Yanagi) will make an appearance in the film. Now a former temple priest, he's now showing his comedic side while wearing an afro as seen in this image with him holding Kuroto Dan/Kamen Rider Genm's (played by Tetsuya Iwanaga) hand.

Featuring the tagline "The shocking Final Chapter to Heisei", the film is written by Kamen Rider Ex-Aid head writer Yuya Takahashi and is directed by Kazuya Kamihoriuchi(Kamen Rider Ex-Aid) and Shojiro Nakazawa (Kamen Rider Wizard). Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL is set to premiere on December 9th.

"Heisei Final"? Are they expecting the Emperor to suddenly die and the Heisei era to end? :tongue:

But in all seriousness, this movie looks like it could be pretty hype.

 

[Sparda's rejected son]

Ex-Aid and some of Wizard's staff are involved? So the Riders will move freely and gracefully like Wizard? (Performance wise) I'm down for that. If Build doesn't have a "best match" freak out thanks to Eiji's (OOO) forms I. Will. Rage. Actually... All these Riders and their forms should make Mr. Genius Physicist lose his mind.
Also Misora and Ankh have to meet because my MisoraXPhillip fan fiction is not enough!

Too bad Ghost used Takeshi Hongo already because he would really hate Faust and it's Shocker like ways. And Foundation X is Shocker-light, they very well may be involved.

 

[lorddemolatron]

geez for me that main villiain of this soon movie, why reminds in clothes and motives slightly one videogame villiain lol, well maybe when it ends aviable on net i end watching this

 

[Sparda's rejected son]

Unfortunately I'm not putting much stock in the movie villain. Modern Rider movies tend to suck because they are very generic. Eternal is the only movie villain who had any substance and a bad-@ss actor. Kamen Rider #3 wasn't a villain per-say but he was memorable too.
You know who's not memorable? The white Ghost Rider from KR Ghost or any villain from the OOO movies. Yuck.

Toei's official YouTube channel posted the 2nd trailer for the Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Riders film.

The new trailer highlights the film's primary villain, Mogami Kaisei (played by Kenji Ohtsuki), a violent, evil scientist bent on annihilating all humans. In addition, the trailer also revealed how it ties to Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, to be specific, how it ties with the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending film.

Kamen Rider Heisei Generations film will also feature the return of the following Kamen Riders: Shun Nishime as Takeru Tenkuuji/Kamen Rider Ghost, Gaku Sano as Kouta Kazuraba/Kamen Rider Gaim, Souta Fukushi as Gentaro Kisaragi/Kamen Rider Fourze, and Shu Watanabe as Eiji Hino/Kamen Rider OOO with Ryosuke Miura also returning as Ankh.

Featuring the tagline "The shocking Final Chapter to Heisei", the film is written by Kamen Rider Ex-Aid head writer Yuya Takahashi and is directed by Kazuya Kamihoriuchi (Kamen Rider Ex-Aid) and Shojiro Nakazawa (Kamen Rider Wizard). Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL is set to premiere on December 9th.

Man, seeing them all on their bikes was the most awesome bit of that trailer. I definitely feel like a lot of Heisei series forgot the "Rider" bit of the title.

 

[Sparda's rejected son]

Modern Riders rarely use their bikes and it's infuriating. Takeshi Hongo needed to rev his bike at high speeds in order to activate his belt and thus Transform. (Before he gained the ability to transform on the spot) This Rider/ bike relation was crucial and it's lack of screen time is painful. Shinnosuke used Tridron more than modern Riders use their bikes, let that sink in for a second. Also where is the Drive cast?


Episode 8 of Build and 35 of Kyuranger was emotional to the max. However the choreography was off and it made the fighting scenes odd. In usual news Misora is God damn adorable and I want to hug Hammy and Naga. >_>

[lorddemolatron]

After weeks of teases, the latest issue of Televi-kun magazine has revealed that Ryuga Banjo will transform into Kamen Rider Cross-Z next month on Kamen Rider Build!

Ryuga inserts the Dragon Full Bottle in the Cross Dragon then inserting it to his own Build Driver to transform into Kamen Rider Cross-Z! Equipped with the Beat Cross-Zer, he finishes his enemies with a Dragonic Finish.

As for Kamen Rider Build, he gets two new Best Match forms next month. These forms are: Build KeyDragon Form and Build KaizokuRessha Form. Using the Lock and Dragon Full Bottles, Build transforms into the Sealing Fantasist, Kamen Rider Build KeyDragon Form! In this form, he can summon chains to lock his enemies!

Using the Pirate and the Train Full Bottles, Build transforms into the Rebel Who Arrives on Time, Kamen Rider Build KaizokuRessha Form! In this form, he is equipped with the Kaizoku Hassher, a bow that shoots trains.

As expected, thanks to these new Full Bottles, Kamen Rider Build gets more Trial Forms in his arsenal! The magazine highlights a total of 30 new Trial Forms with Kamen Rider Build HedgehogLock Form taking center stage.

Everyday I like to warm up using the precious "IXA-cise" training method provided by Nago-san.

Sadly, you do not transform into Kiva using this...

 

[Sparda's rejected son]

As a fan of Kiva I am distraught that I've never seen this excerise segment. I had no idea TV-Nihon subbed such a awesome segment. Where did you stumble upon this Gem?

Also that Kamen Rider game"s screen shot is great. Amazon steals the shot despite how far away he is.

 

[lorddemolatron]

Well look who i unlocked in new KR game

Well look who i unlocked in new KR game

Wateru! God I miss that mild mannered half breed. His Rider Kick was so damn cool because it had a air of mysticism and great practical effects.

Also this week's Build had a whole segment of Misora. My body wasn't ready! Also poor Garu was shafted by Caesar, damn it Lucky be more sensitive!

 

[Sparda's rejected son]

Top 5 favorite Rider Suits right here right now!

1. Kiva's suit: The vampire aesthetic is appealing and his chained up leg is just the icing on the cake. It busting open to reveal wings for the Rider Kick is superb.

2. W's suit. Sleek, and the scarf just works. It seems like the easiest suit to move in plus who doesn't want to share their consciousness with a recluse?

3. Ghost's suit. Love, love the hoodie jacket he has and when the suit is lit up it looks very Halloween like. Overall a wonderful design.

4. Riderman's suit. I like this suit because it is something a normal person could create and play the role of hero in. Plus his cyborg arm is versatile.

5. Drive's suit. This suit is a guilty pleasure of mine. I think this suit embodies the car theme perfectly and isn't top heavy nor is it light like W's, it is balanced and sleek. I do enjoy his headlight eyes too.
