Kamen Rider Meteor's New form called Meteor Storm?

2012-02-02T15:30:00.000+08:00

Finally! An actual scans of the form had finally surfaced! We have seen the darken silhouette of the form in earlier posts. Now the actual deal is finally here!

Despite the fact that the scan is out, the name of the form isn't mention in the scan's little article, besides saying "Something Exciting will come!", and announce something about Precure and such.

The transformation is said to need a specific new switch, mainly for Meteor to transformed into this form/state. The blue parts of Meteor turned all yellow goldie, with his meteor tail becomes 2 for both side of his helmet. He had an additional shoulder pad for the other side and has a blue suit, instead of the black suit we see.

Earlier on, a lots of fans speculate it to be Red in color with blue eyes. But I later realized it won't be really right since the blacken silhouette of Meteor had red eyes, and emits yellow glow on his body. So, I came up with an edit which is almost close to the scans above.

In addition, here are some new updates on the rumors of Meteor's new form's name, which is recently posted on 2ch:

Here's the translation for the passage above,
Kamen Rider Meteor's upgrade will be called "Meteor Storm." Furthermore, the post also states that Kamen Rider Fourze's final form will be blue based and be called "Cosmic States." It is said to be utilized with the Astro Switch No.40 Cosmic. (Source: JEfusion)

Anyways, here's the theorized image edit that was posted on Gideon Burogu's Facebook, way before the scan was leaked. I was trying to predict how it would look like.

What I lacked in the edits were the golden neck collar thingy, and the blue suit. I was kind of glad that my theories were closed enough. ^_^

I will post on it once again when there's news regarding the confirmed name of Meteor's new form! ^_^

Magnet State is Fourze's Silver-covered form accessible by utilizing the paired switches #30 & #31, NS Magphone. In this form, Fourze is able to manipulate electromagnetic powers. He is armed with 2 Railguns that is mounted on his shoulders called the N Magnet Cannons & S Magnet Cannons. It can be detached from his shoulders and combines into the NS Magnet Canon that can hovers in midair. The NS Manget Cannon is used in the Magnet States Limit Break to fire a powerful beam of electromagnetic energy called the Rider Super Electromagnetic Bomber that compresses the target with destructive magnetic force

As for the NS Magphone, it was originally 2 separate switches, which is hard to be controlled at first due to it's instability. It was later that Kengo deviced a plan to make it into the Magphone, and was completed by Ryusei. It also doubles as a communicator that connects to the Rabbit Hatch, without the need to use the Radar Module. The Magphone is halved to became the pair of switches and the phone parts acts as the controller for the Magnet Cannons.

In addition, the Magnet cannons can act as a pair of boomerangs that is manipulated by the magnet powers emitted from the magnet modules on Fourze's gauntlets. The ability is only seen in the gameplay of the Ganbaride Arcade game, where Fourze Magnet State detaches the Magnet Canon from his shoulder, and flungs it towards his opponent.

Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters: Busters Ready Go!

2012-01-28T23:54:00.006+08:00

After some scan releases of the early leaks for Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, more are spreading in the vast world of the Internet! Busters! READY GO!

The scans came from leaflets and brochure of the recent premiering press conference that were given out to fans who were there. And as fans, the scans were shared through out forums such as 2chan, 4chan and etc.

The Brochure contain some juicy images and much detailed info on Go-Busters.

Here are some further details on each of the trio protagonist of the series.

Red Buster- Sakurada Hiromu, 20 years old. A straightforward guy.
Blue Buster- Iwasaki Ryuuji, 28 years old and the oldest in the team. Being the much matured member of the team, he looks after Hiromu(Red Buster) and Yoko(Yellow Buster).
Yellow Buster- Usami Yoko, 16 years old and the youngest of the Go-Busters. She is high-spirited and is good in machinery.

Other characters that introduced are Red Buster/Hiromu's family members. They are his sister, Sakurada Rika(played by Yoshiki Risa), and his father, Yousuke Sakurada, who's a scientist that researched on the mysterious energy, Enertron 13 years ago.

Despite possessing super powers and abilities, they each have very weird weaknesses respectively.

Red Buster weakness is being afraid of chickens? ; Blue Buster will have a very high fever if he works for too long, he had to cool down once in a while; Yellow Buster had a big appetite for sweet things when she runs out of energy.

As mentioned in recent posts, the Go-Busters are supported by a group of Special Ops staff member. The member consist of: Commander Kuroki Takeshi. The leading person in the Special Ops HQ; Operator Morishita Tohru: provides the Go-Busters with intel information pertaining to Vagras ; Operator Nakamura Miho: a newbie in the HQ.

The enemy that the Go-Busters are up against is the Evil Mechanical Empire, Vagras. Led by a mysterious entity, called the "Messiah" who resides in the subspace zone. In order to conquer earth, they need to released him into the real world by collecting an energy source that the Go-Busters are protecting, the Enertron, which will open a portal that will summon their leader.

In the scans above shows the image of Vagras human spy, Enter, who is also responsible in creating the monsters, known as Metaroids, out of Datacards called Metavirus cards. The first monster of the week will be the ShovelRoid(top left in the image above). The foot soldiers are known as Buglers.

When Metaroids are defeated by the Go-Busters, their remaining data are sent into subspace, thus turning into Megazords. The Megazord processed the remaining data of the Metaroid and takes on their ability as their own power. The image below shows ShovelRoid's Megazord form, the ShovelZord.

In addition, the series will have plenty of out-of-suit actions from the main actors(which in my opinion, will be very interesting). So, expect lots of un-morphed fight scenes from the Go-Busters. Aside from that, the series will be premiering soon on February 26th, 2012! Let's Morph'in! Busters! Ready GO!!!

Go-Busters goes Morph'in Time!

2012-01-28T00:20:00.003+08:00

Heroes with shades and spy equipment! Here's the long awaited scans of the 36th Sentai team, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters! Let's Morph'in!

Recently, scans of the early released of the latest issues of Televi-kun Magazine was spreading among Toku-fans, forums and fanbase sites alike. Along with it are much detailed info to juice up trivial knowledge on this very Sentai team!

In the scans, it is revealed that the team is supported by 3 support staff, one of them being the mentor-figure character for the team named, Takeshi Kuroki(played by Hideo Sakaki). The support staff team ensures that the latest suspicious activity happening. Their purpose is to keep the Enertron Tower(where the Enertron power is stored and generated) from being attacked by the evil organization, Vagurasu as well as to protect the city from their threats.

The above scan shows the transformation sequence of Go-Buster. Their standby henshin call will be "It's Morph'in Time!", as the shades or glasses shows up on the Morph'in Brace, they'll shout-out, "Let's Morph'in!". After the transformation process is complete, their role-call sequence will end with the catchphrase, "Busters, READY GO!".

Fighting their giant size threats sent in by Vagurasu, the "Chou Machine System" is developed for this very purpose and is implanted in all the Buddyroids. In the scans above, Chida Nikku is able to combine with Buster Vehicle CB-01 Cheetah and turns into Animal Mode. Chida Nikku is also able to turned into an alternate gigantic humanoid form known as the MegaZord(another reference from Power Rangers?!) called Go-Buster Ace. Go-Buster Ace wields a sword and finishes of the giant threats with a slashing finishing move in order to "SHUTDOWN" the enemy(or rather another term of destroy/finishes the enemy).

Individuals that became Go-Busters are also known as "Tokumei Senshi" that possesses super-power abilities known as, "Buster Power". Red-Buster possessed "Cho-Speed"(or literally Super Speed) which grants him teleportation-like speed; Blue-Buster possessed "Arm Power", granting super strength to his arms; Yellow-Buster possessed "Foot Power", granting her abilities to jump at great heights.

Vagurasu is a mysterious evil organization, rumored to be led by a cute-yet-disgusting bug-like hologram. Enter, being a human accomplish to the evil organization help creates with data cards called, MetaVirus Cards. The monsters are created by inserting those data cards into a machine and thus resulted in the creation of droid monsters called MetaRoids. The Metaroids can be powered up and grow into Giant-size monsters,(and guess what they're called) their giant-size forms are also called as MegaZords.

An example of the formation into a MegaZord, a Metaroid known as ShovelRoid becomes a MegaZord, known as ShovelZord. Their MegaZord looks are not enlarge scaled of their original looks, but they most likely became parts that attached to another large machine body that holds their abilities and takes control of the large machine body until they are "SHUTDOWN" by the Go-Busters.

So, look out for the premiering of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters on February 26th, 2012!

Kamen Rider Meteor's Upgrade Form?

2012-01-27T21:55:00.002+08:00

It's been a few weeks since Kamen Rider Meteor debut in the series and had been showing off his fastest fists, going all "Wachaa!!~". And recently, an early release of the latest issues of Televi-kun magazine had a silhouette of Kamen Rider Meteor's upgraded form?! READ ON to find out more!

In the scans, it seems that Meteor's upgraded form probably had his head crest doubling on both side of the head, rather than staying on his left side. It seems that he is the holding a switch that is required to trasnformed into the upgraded form.

Don't forget that he is capable of utilizing Fourze's switches. As reviewed by toy reviewers, the Meteor Driver is able to utilized Fourze's Elec Switch and Fire Switch which will probably grant Meteor the switches elemental powers. It's possible that there's a specific switch required for Meteor to activate the upgraded form of Meteor.

Along with the scans of the silhoutte of Meteor's upgrade form, there are images of upcoming Zodiarts that will appear in the upcoming episode of Kamen Rider Fourze.

The Zodiarts are the Pegasus Zodiart(similar to Unicorn's design, minus the horn) and the Cygnus Zodiart. Pegasus is said to appear in the very episode where Nao Nagasawa will first debut as the new teacher of the series, which will be in episode 21 & 22. On the other hand, Cygnus will appear in episode 23:The Alliance of Swan.

In addition, here seems to be the scans for the next Horoscope?! It seems that a new Horoscope will appear, and it is the Cancer Horoscope. Who will this new Horoscope be? Look out for it the upcoming episodes of Kamen Rider Fourze!

Super Hero Taisen: Clashes between Heroes!

2012-01-27T20:55:00.000+08:00

Here's the long awaited first batch of scans regarding the great crossover, or much precisely, the great war between KAMEN RIDER and SUPER SENTAI! Did Kamen Rider Decade over step the balance of the worlds and when beyond fusing them all? or did the Gokaiger think that the Kamen Riders are just nuisance and decide to Destroy them?! READ ON!

In the Previous post, it was confirmed that the title is, "KAMEN RIDER x SUPER SENTAI: SUPER HERO TAISEN". Instead of working together in going against one humongous threat of the movie(which most typical hero crossover plot would be), they are against each other.

As seen in the image above, it is seen that Decade donning his Daishocker leader Jacket seen in All Rider vs Daishocker, leading the Daishocker against the Super Sentai. On the other hand, Captain Marvelous might have took some very serious measures and lead a group of sentai villains called DaiZangack, consist of Doctor G, Brajira, Walz and Ackdos Gil, and Chimatsuri Dokoku.

It is seen in the scans that the Go-Busters went and challenge head-on against Kamen Rider Decade. While at AGHS, it seems that Captain Marvelous as the leader of DaiZangack sent an army of Dogormin, Sugormin and Gormin led by Zatsurigu, attacked the school.

What disturbance had cause such clashes between the 2 group of great heroes that had protect the world for many years, now came to war with each other? Do look forward to some more updates in the future!
Personal saying: Pssst... I think Narutaki's spreading nonsense between the 2 group of heroes... :P

Fans were speculating that she is the Virgo Zodiart, so they try to decipher if her name whether it contain puns of any horoscope or constellation signs, but find no kanji or katakana that matches with any signs.

Sonoda Sarina, who's the Scorpion Zodiarts, one of the 12 Apostles of the Horoscopes was sent into the realm of eternal darkness(Dark Nebula) as a punishment for failing twice against the Kamen Riders.

Episode 20: Transcendent Magnetic Force (1/29)

Ryuusei was the person who tries to purified switch #30 & #31, but subjected Fourze into a fierce power of attraction, causing all metals and iron to get stuck on Fourze.

Kengo, who was angered by Ryuusei's actions of trying to take over his job in purifying the switches leaves the Kamen Rider Club. But then, the track and field couch was interested in recruiting him.

Gideon Burogu: Entering the 2nd Anniversary!

2012-01-19T17:20:00.001+08:00

Gideon Burogu's celebrating the 2nd year of running on the internet. The first time I started posting on this blog was on the date January 20th, 2010. Last year, the blog celebrated the 1st anniversary by registering an official domain, which is exactly 5 days before the actual 1st Anniversary. The domain name, gideonburogu.com was registered on 13th of January 2011, and the domain starts to be active on the date 15th of January 2011. This somehow motivates me and had make me continue to work harder for fellow fans to bring the latest news on Gideon Burogu.

The blog originally started out as just a personal blog, where I have the urge to share a lot of stuff on the internet. But due to not owning much gadget(such as camera), and I was still very young, I never really posted until I got my phone that had a camera in 2010. It was then, I start to blog about stuff. I start to turned the blog from a personal, to a fan for fans blog news sharing site since the day I felt like I need to post something about what I like. I was being honest to the world that I am an avid tokusatsu fan, not knowing that the internet world is filled up with a large number of them.

My obsession towards Tokusatsu had lead me to Jefusion. I was actually inspired by the person who start the site. Back in those days, Jefusion was still using the domain, Jefusion.info. Back in those days, I was clueless about the existence of web forums that had a large number of fans talking about Tokusatsu, and don't know where to find the latest news from. And so, I started up taking news from Jefusion. It was later I came upon the owner of Jefusion on CStoys chat, Gekidan. It was then, our conversation had sparked me to improved the site through the years and tried my best to hunt for the latest news.

But there's one thing for sure, without the support of the current followers and readers of Gideon Burogu, this site or blog couldn't have been up for this long. I would like to give a big THANK YOU to you all for supporting the blog ever since it started. Also, I would like to thank, Mr.S, ShukuenShinobi, Ryokuya, Takeru Shotaro, Denggoy Onii-san, Winson Ng, Jonathan Yee, Derek Tan, Otoya, Gekidan, Ukiyaseed, Megamredz, Windmaster, Syafiq and KuAizad for being the first few supporters and had been supporting and inspired me ever since.

I still remember the days I started out with just a minimal blog template, and had no clue about HTML codings. But it was the best thing that I ever did, and was glad to share my knowledge on my interest about Tokusatsu, and some anime series(namely, Gundam, and Digimon) that I had been posting on.

Anyways, I have some plans on something in mind for Gideon Burogu's 2nd Year Anniversary, right now just need a little modal and sponsorship for it. Will post about it when things are finalized. Anyway, hope you'll look forward to more news on Gideon Burogu. Thank you!

Sincerely,
GIDEON GOH

KR-info: Kamen Rider Nadeshiko

2012-01-12T17:19:00.002+08:00

Decide to post on a some little info post that aren't usual latest updates news, but just some side-infos regarding riders. The fact that I'm pretty bored and had nothing to do, I decide to post on 1 particular female rider, her stats, her back story and much more. So, READ ON!

This post may contain some spoiler materials of Movie War Megamax, so.. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Kamen Rider Nadeshiko appears in the one of Rider crossover movies in the title line of "Movie Wars", which is "Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Megamax", which premiered last Winter 2011.

Nadeshiko Misaki is a mysterious girl that suddenly falls from the sky and fell right into Gentaro's arm during the Amanogawa High School festival events. She is rather quite and observant, usually repeats what other people say. Nadeshiko slowly grows close and fond of Gentaro during all the time they spent together. She also helps the Kamen Rider Club to develop a new foodroid, the Mega Burgermeal in the Rabbit Hatch.

She was later revealed that she is not actually human, but a space substance called "SOLU" that copied the appearance of the actual Nadeshiko Misaki. When zodiarts attacked, Gentaro became Kamen Rider Fourze. Seeing what Gentaro did, she assumes her own Kamen Rider form and calls herself, "Kamen Rider Nadeshiko", which shocks Gentaro and the other KRC members. They both teamed up in a fight against the Virgo Horoscope, and finishes her off with the Double Rider Rocket Punch attack.

She is aware that she had been chased by Foundation X, she decides to leave the S-1 switch, which is the Super Rocket Switch she created to Gentaro and went and fight Foundation X. She was turned back into plain SOLU during the fight with Foundation X and was brought to Lem Kannagi. She is turned into the SOLU switch, which is used along with 3 core medals of Kamen Rider Poseidon that powers Kannagi to transformed into Super Galaxy King.

However, Nadeshiko's feeling for Gentaro was so strong that her conscious was able to hold back part of Super Galaxy King's Power and allows Fourze & OOO to easily defeat him. She had one final moment with Gentaro in his mind and vanished.

Kamen Rider Nadeshiko:As a living mass of SOLU, she can copy the appearance of anything and sometimes improved them in various aspects. After seeing Gentaro transforming into Fourze, she creates her own driver called the "Nadeshiko Driver", which is also compatible with the astro switches but can only used the ones on the arms. Nadeshiko becames Kamen Rider Nadeshiko and fought alongside Fourze. Her Rider Kick is called the Nadeshiko Rocket Kick, which is a heel kick propelled by the Rocket Module. She even performs a Double Rider Rocket Punch attack with Fourze against Virgo Horoscope.

Trivial info:

She is the official 4th original female rider(not counting Delta and Ixa that both had female users) in the Kamen Rider Franchise.
Not only she is the first high school girl Kamen Rider, she is also the first female to use her actual name as her rider alias(the 2nd rider who did that after Shin).
Her catchphrase is the same with Fourze, "Uchu Kittaa!"
The Nadeshiko Rider Kick is based on the heel kick by Homare Sawa during the FIFA Women's World Cup.
She is suppose to be named after Electro-wave Human Tackle, also known as Yuriko Misaki, the partner of Kamen Rider Stronger.

3 Issues of the Hero's Magazine had been released since early December 2011. Now, a group of Chinese scanlators had scanned the issue and translated and put it up online! So, CHECK IT OUT!

As posted earlier in last October 2011, the manga is brought to you by a newly launched Magazine called, Hero's Magazine. The magazine only focuses on publishing heroic-action themed manga, and one of the main attraction was Ultraman Manga. The Ultraman manga was brought by the same people who brought you, Linebarrel of Iron. They are also the same people who also give a good glimpse of their "cancelled" reimagined unofficial Kamen Rider manga, Hybrid Insector. They are none other than the duo, Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.

Here's the story plot that was posted on the last post, Shin Jiro, a normal high school student who's also the son of Shin Hayate(the real Ultraman) and is aware about the existence of Ultraman years ago and wanted to be a hero that save the world. He is just a normal human and had no superpowers or such. One faithful day lead him to a special high-tech suit that will turn him into a different incarnation of the legendary gigantic hero! Will he be a HERO?

Gokaiger: Missing Cutscene?

2012-01-09T22:57:00.000+08:00

In the recent episode 45- "Awatenbo Ninja(Confused Ninja)", Ninjaman finally released from the vase that sealed him. The Gokaigers decide to give Ninjaman some trivial sentai quiz to impress Ninjaman and give them Kakuranger's great power. But among one of their sentai transformations was ZYURANGER?!

For those who had seen the raw episode and probably the subbed episode from some fast fansubbing group, you probably realized there wasn't any Zyuranger transformation footage at all used in the episode. The image was found on TV-Asahi's Gokaiger site but wasn't on Toei's Gokaiger site itself.

A large number of fans believed that the scene was actually a reference to the Power Rangers 3rd season, where the Rangers first encounter Ninjor(the PR counterpart of Ninjaman). Some even joke that it should be Kibaranger, cause Tommy of PR was already the White Ranger in season 3, after he lost his Green Ranger Powers.

Happy NEW YEAR 2012 to all!

2012-01-01T00:38:00.002+08:00

Here's a Happy New Year greeting from me! So, This very blog itself will enter it's second year anniversary since the day it was created! Anyways, in the chinese calender, we're bound to enter the year of the DRAGON once again, after a complete 12 Chinese ~~Zodiarts~~~(COUGH!) I mean, Zodiac cycle. So, it's really Enter the Dragon(Bruce Lee's movie).

Which reminds me.. Is Meteor's motive somehow based on that?! O_O

Well, Meteoites travels fast, and the fastest fist belongs to Bruce Lee, who's name is also called "Lee Xiao Long" in Chinese(contains the Dragon Chinese character in the name). And in Toei might've thought that Meteor might debut around 2012, and 2012 is the year of the Dragon in the Chinese Calender Zodiac cycle. Probably, just my theories. (LOL! Random rants for the year 2012)

Anyways, hope you guys have much fun back in 2011. This time round in the year 2012, let's hope things get better and better!! ^^ And I think I might wanna recruit some extra reporters too. lol! Who knows. Once Again, I would like to greet you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! (psst... We'll only enter the Dragon after Chinese New Year, folks.. =P)

Go-Busters saves Energy?

2011-12-27T11:08:00.000+08:00

Clearer scans and images of 2012's Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters had surfaced on this vast internet world. Plus, TV Asahi had officially created an official page with actual plot quick-summaries where Go-Buster will save the city's ENERGY? READ ON for more!

Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters is the 2012's and 36th installment of the long-running Super Sentai Series. It will be premiering on the February 26, 2012 and joins Kamen Rider Fourze on the Super Hero Time block on TV Asahi. So, expect Gokaiger to end a week before the premiere date(Which is on the 19th of February 2012).

Here's the short summary that was seen on the official site that was set up by TV Asahi.

The urban lives of the city now runs by 1 large power source known as, Enertron. A group of evil organization called Vagrath(earlier mistaken to be spelled as Varglass) aims to threaten the city by stealing the Enertron from it. 3 warriors are chosen to be a group of elite heroes known as Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters that will protect the city from any evil threat. Along with their partners known as Buddy-roids, they have to stop Vagrath from obtaining the Enertron from the city.

The catchphrase of the series will be, "It's Morphin' Time!"(an obvious reference to the American Adaptation counterpart, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' catchphrase). The transformation call-out is, "Let's Morphin'!".

The above image shows the role-call poses of the Go-Busters, along with their partners, the Buddy-Roids. It was earlier rumored that the Go-Busters will be joint by 2 more members to form a 5 member team, like Go-onger did.

More Kamen Rider Meteor info!

2011-12-23T01:28:00.003+08:00

In the next episode of Kamen Rider Fourze, our long awaited secondary rider, KAMEN RIDER METEOR will soon make his appearance, and here are deeper information, that surfaced on all Tokusatsu fanbase sites, blogs and forums! So, READ ON!

Kamen Rider Meteor is the secondary Rider/protagonist of Kamen Rider Fourze series. It is said that he actually debut at the post-credit of Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Megamax. It was revealed in Episode 16 preview that he will make his full appearance in the said episode. While Kamen Rider Fourze's motif is based on an aircraft, Kamen Rider Meteor's motif is as his name had suggested, which is of a Meteorite.

Kamen Rider Meteor's real identity is Ryusei Sakuta, who's played by Ryou Yoshizawa. Not much is currently know outside of that he's a mysterious transfer student at Amanogawa High School, who joins the same class as Gentaro. Unlike Gentaro who transforms openly into Fourze when needed, Ryusei does things in secret and kept his identity as a Kamen Rider Meteor.

Like Fourze, Kamen Rider Meteor's power also arises from the cosmic energy powered by a single unnumbered switch, which is the Meteor Switch. Utilizing the switch with the Meteor Driver, he transforms into Kamen Rider Meteor. He utilizes a weapon called the Fingerprint Authentication Brace Galaxy Meteor which is armed on his right wrist. The weapon has 3 lever-like switches which are called, the Galaxy Lever that allow Meteor to used the power of 3 different abilities that is represented by 3 different planets, namely, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

By pushing one of the levers and scans his pointer fingerprint, he can summon one of the 3 planet and use their attributes. The Jupiter Galaxy Lever allows him to summon Planet Jupiter and use it to deliver a punch called, Jupiter Hammer. The Mars Galaxy Lever allows him to summon the hot burning Planet Mars that is use like Planet Jupiter, with additional hot burning fire punches called, Mars Breaker. Lastly, the Saturn Galaxy Lever allows him to summon Planet Saturn and used its planet's ring to act as a flying slashing halo attack called, Saturn Sorcery.

Kamen Rider Meteor has 3 variant finishing move. Starlight Shower, a high speed multiple punch attack; Meteor Tornado, a powerful high speed rotating kick; and, Meteor Strike, a powerful and strong riderkick-esque attack. Meteor can also use Fourze's switch and acquired the abilities of the switches. When Meteor utilizes the Elek Switch, it will charge Meteor's body with electrical powers.

In the above scans, Meteor will team-up with Fourze in defeating an unknown Zodiarts. Judging from the star pattern on its body, the Zodiart seems to be the Hydra Zodiart of the Hydra Constellation, which has the ability of a powerful legendary gigantic water serpent of the Greek Mythology.

Kamen Rider Meteor is a member of a group called, "Anti Zodiarts Union". Meteor owns a rider machine called, "Meteor Star" that based on a motif of a satellite. He is supported by a satellite called, "M-bus" and assisted by a mysterious being on it named Tachibana, presumably a tribute to Tobei Tachibana, acting as a confidant to the various Showa Kamen Riders and supplying them with their motorcycles and other equipment. It is unknown whether he is a robot or a man behind a mask. The M-Bus is said to hold the energy necessary for Meteor to transform. If Ryuusei is not exposed to this energy, he won't be able to transform.

2011-12-21T13:43:00.001+08:00

To all Malaysian Anime fans!! Rejoice, cause this is the one thing that we have been waiting till this day. Finally, Malaysia got its first actual anime production, which is a collaboration with Malaysia's animation team, Funcel, together with Malaysia's Film Development Corperation(FINAS) and one of Japan's animation producers, Hiroyuki Kitakubo of Gonzo Studio! Read on for more!

The Japanese animation studio, Gonzo had sign a deal with Malaysian animation studio, Funcel along with FINAS, a government organization that is involve in the filming industry to produced an anime-esque animated series, Satria- The Warriors of 7 Elements. The animated series will premiere Fall of 2012, which is presumably around March 2012. The 24-26 minutes episode plot will partake in the south eastern history, with added fiction portions of the story.

Here's the montage opening that was uploaded on Youtube,

The said history is the great legendary Hero of the Malaccan Sultan era of the 15th century, Hang Tuah(pronounced as Han Towa in Japanese). Other renown historical characters that will appear in the series are, the 4 closest friends of Hang Tuah, namely, Jebat, Lekiu, Lekir and Kasturi, the 2 Chinese historians that were greatly involved in the history of Malacca is Princess Hang Li Po and Admiral Cheng Ho. 2 Additional characters that will later join Hang Tuah and friends, that form the team of 7 elemental warriors are namely, Teja and Putri.

The animated series will be aimed at children of age 9 to 14. Hiroyuki Kitakubo of Gonzo Studio will be taking charge as an advisor to the production team of the animated series.

He was originally credited as a director, but request the removal of C21Media's listing of him as director. He claimed that he was there as an advisor to the production team. Kitokubo had also earlier posted on twitter(dated 1st of September) and said said that 22 of the 26 episodes for the Malaysian government were subcontracted to China for 2 million yen (about US$24,000) each. Presumably, the fact that they need to do that due to the involvement of 2 great Chinese Historical characters, namely Princess Hang Li Po and Admiral Cheng Ho.

*Words from writer: Well, I personally was one of those anime-fans that demanded for a Malaysian anime-esque animated series. And was hoping that some other locally renown comic company might get involve. I was never expecting Funcel to pull such moves in making a deal with Gonzo(which produces a number of my favorite animes). So, it was quite exciting, and it make me proud to be a Malaysian. ^^

Unlike the shows were the Riders were victorious at the end, the Kamen Riders were defeated by people having the same powers as they are, causing the heroic Kamen Rider name to rot down and labeling the real Riders as "Hybrid Insectors".
Eight years has passed and a boy named Akira became part of a team that hunts down these Hybrid Insectors. He joined the team because eight years ago, his father died because of an Hybrid Insector. Little did he know that his father is one of those heroic Kamen Riders and died fighting an Insect Hunter.

After wearing one of the clone's belt, he transforms into the one he hates the most, a Hybrid Insector.(source: Orends:range)

It is illustrated and written by none other than the duo who brings you the new Ultraman manga from Hero's magazine and Linebarrels of Iron Mecha, Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.

*So, it seems that Ultraman isn't the only one that had a hybrid-mecha-esque treatment from the duo.

[Update with much clear scans of the newspaper]

I wanna say this since I discover that one of the protagonist is the "RIDER" that was hated and liked by some, will return to be the main star of the movie! Onore(cough!)... I mean.. BLESS YOU!! DIKEIDO!!!! It was confirmed via a newspaper article as the one below.

The movie will be directed by Osamu Kaneda. The tentative title is "Super Hero Taisen/Wars 2012". It says that the movie will actually feature all 40 Riders once again and all 200 sentai heroes(based on the given numbers by the newspaper scans) is said to appear and considered as somesort of Deluxe prestige package for the fans. The main heroes of the movie will be the current Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Kamen Rider Decade, to bring both different worlds together. It is also possible that the new sentai series, Tokumei Sentai Gobuster will also appear in the movie.

Both the Kamen Rider & Super Sentai long running franchise had been popular internationally, and one of the producers, Shinichiro Shirakura(who had also produced 555: Lost Paradise, Pretty Guardian Sailormoon Live-Action & Sh15uya) had oversaw that this had big potentials for upcoming productions. He had finally come to a conclusion that this will create a big leap when 2 Toei's long running productions come together by all means possible.

The filming will start end of this month, Dec 2011. They are currently coping with finding more staff and crews especially potential suit actors to play a big part and make this come true. It is one of the greatest challenge that the production team is facing. The movie is said to be premiering in May 2012.

Producer Shinichiro Shirakura also added that, "In the year after the anniversary we're not going to power down but cross it.... We want to show things you can't see in the regular shows. This was pretty close to impossible but I'd like to make it the norm for our spring films. Rider is science, sentai is magic."

Kamen Rider Den-O vs Cho Den-O?

2011-11-30T02:05:00.001+08:00

More & more & more... DEN-O Movies coming?! It was earlier this year that Den-O appeared as one of the main protoganist in the 40th anniversary movie with OOO in Let's Go Kamen Rider. In addition to that, Rumors had been leaking lately that there'll be more Den-O Movies? READ ON!

Early November, several other sites had reported about the 9th Kamen Rider Den-O movie will be coming in February 2012! The rumors started to spread after some toy sites start to put up links and pages for upcoming Den-O toys, which is the Legend Rider Series Den-Gasher. It has become a pattern that whenever a Den-O toy is bound to be release, there is a chance that a Den-O movie will be coming in the same year.

A week later, Dori Sakurada had posted in his blog that he has just started some kind of secret filming the other day, and it's been lasting well into the night. Dori Sakurada is best known for playing Ryotaro Nogami's grandson from the future, Kotaro Nogami aka Kamen Rider NEW Den-O.

It was later that fans had made a depiction that the new movie could have focused on New Den-O, since New Den-O had referred himself as Den-O in the Let's Go Kamen Rider Movie. It was said that the New Den-O was stuck what it is by one of those new Rider introductions made in New Type magazine. It could've been an error that became permanent. It is unsure if the secret filming had to do with the upcoming Den-O movie.

It was later a leaked of some kind of movie lists had leaked among Toku-fanbase sites and community, which regards the new movie of Den-O.

The New Movie is entitled as "Kamen Rider Den-O vs Cho Den-O: Jikan wo kakeru Rider(Rider of Time)". In the list of cast, the first name is Takeru Sato?! This had appear to be a little less convincing since Takeru Sato is currently filming in the live-action version of Rurouri Kenshin. Plus, there are earlier statements that the agency didn't actually approve of him returning in the Kamen Rider franchise. We only know that he was highly demanded by fans to return in earlier Den-O movies, but never made it. If he might return, it's probably due to that high demands that he return.

As mentioned earlier, it is said that the movie is predicted to be premiering in February 2012, but on the above "so-called" confirmation, it seems that the movie will be in May 2012. Let's just wait for more upcoming updates.

But after I strolled around some more images that I've saved for more Tamashii Nations reports(which I'm lazy to post about =_=;), I spotted something really interesting in each photo that was taken by fellow fans and official webpage reporters alike. So, CHECK IT OUT see if you spot the hidden stuff!

As seen in the above image, you can see both Fourze's other states, namely, Elek State and Fire State. But they are not the main focus of this spot-out. See if you can spot the hidden things? If you still can't, then the answer is as below!

Yes~! Zodiarts switches. Which are actually toy scaled, and might be the upcoming toy releases of the switches. Aside from that, they weren't the only things spotted.

You can actually spot the leg of a Zodiart S.H.Figuarts. It is seen that one of those Zodiarts cloth that reach the legs was seen above Fire State.

Along one of the display corners, you can actually spot the same thing which was displayed along Elec State and Fire State here.

As seen from the above image, You can actually see the S.H.Figuarts Zodiarts were above S.H.Figuarts Fourze Elec State, Fire State, POWER DIZER and Machine Massigler?!

A little upclose, you can actually see that the 4 high Ranking Zodiarts standing above Power Dizer and Massigler.

Luckily, a friend send me a better version of the shot for S.H.Figuarts Power Dizer and Machine Massigler.

No! They are not the DX toys for Kamen Rider Fourze FFCs toys, but they are made of materials that S.H.Figuarts are made of. So, yes they are S.H.Figuarts Power Dizer and Machine Massigler.

The Power Dizer and Massigler ain't the only thing there, it is also spotted in the same shot, that a without coat Scorpio Zodiart's leg was seen above it.

We've also seen a lot of Ryuki Riders set on display, in promoting its upcoming future releases. One of it is of course Ryuki's Mirror Doppelganger, Ryuga. But behind Ryuga seems to be something else as well!

S.H.Figuarts Genocider is spotted behind Ryuga, or rather next to it. It is said there was actually Ouja posing in front of it doing the attacking pose.

A couple more friends also sent me a blurry image of an Ultra-act, which seems to be Gridman, or rather known as Servo of Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad.

In addition, a much clear photo was taken, and it reveals one of 2012's line-up releases. Gridman's full preview is as below.

Aside from spotted ones, there were other leaks that are not seen from other photo reports yet, like Gridman above. This time, it's Kamen Rider Abyss, the Decade exclusive Ryuki Rider, who contracts with 2 cotract monsters that are based on the motif of Shark.

Along with Abyss, 1 other leaks is also S.H.Figuarts Lunatic, one of the antagonist of Tiger & Bunny, who had his own brain of Justice, and does not joint the other heroes that appear regularly on HeroTV.

I'm not sure if there's more. But whoever had went to the event personally, they're luckier than us who are depending on internet photo reports, cause they've seen more then we do. Some of this spot-outs made me wished that one day, I'll be the one who will go there and take photos of it and do a full photo report of the event. Anyways, those are just personal thoughts. ^_^

Movie War Megamax SPOILER [Update]

2011-11-29T23:30:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was the pre-screening of Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO : Movie War Megamax! An among those pre-screening viewers, there'll be a couple or more fans who had reported it on Japanese community board, like 2chan and many more. So, READ ON! (if you don't mind spoilers, read on...)

Here are the a list of reports made by several other pre-screening viewers. If you are not into Spoilers, please just skip this through. If you want to read it, READ IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

At the Final Battle, There was a Medley of WBX and Anything Goes with Eiji singing the Chorus. Which means it might be a newer version of Anything Goes.

It was kind of a rushed movie. They crammed in so many things that were unnecessary. The 7 Legendary Riders are just there. At the start, they turn into Switches and Medals. The Switches were just laughable. At the end, they used their special attacks.

The 7 Riders return to normal, when Fourze and OOO inserts the Switches and Medals to their belts. So, there won't be any Legend Rider Modules or the X, Amazon and Stronger combo.
Shotaro is being chased by Foundation X, Philip is searching for information about a local dish from Hachinohe. Shotaro transforms into Joker(this shows Phillip sidetracking once in a while without having to help Shoutaro transforming into W). Meteor appears after credits, kind of like Accel.

Nadeshiko is the cosmic space energy SOLU that has taken a human form. It sees Gentaro transforming into Fourze and creates its own belt and transforming into a female version of Fourze, thus imitating Fourze's phrase, "UCHU KITTAA!!~" as well.
She's the one who had also create the Mega Burger Meal(a larger version of Burger Meal).
It is said that she too created the Super-1 Rocket Switch, that forms the Double Rocket State of Fourze.

Super Galaxy King gets a hold of all the SOLU energy, Nadeshiko disappears and Gentaro goes all emo. At the end, the real Nadeshiko appears. That's where all the other rider(including the Future Aqua) teams up together.
Kamen Rider Meteor appears after credits, kind of like Accel.
Eiji travels around the world searching for Core Medals. Mainly to find a way to revive Ankh. It's not explained how Ankh came back to life. But he's from the future. This gives Eiji hope that he'll eventually find a way to save Ankh.
Aqua-Miharu is actually a very timid guy who feels like he can't be a Rider. Even though he is a water-based Rider, he's scared of water.

*Please note that some of the statements above maybe just fake made up. So, if you had read it all, do take it as a grain of salt. But if you regret, don't say I didn't warn you. =P

GokaiRed's 36th Transformation?

2011-11-27T23:39:00.001+08:00

We've only seen this very transformation in the Dice-Oh DX cardass game, and had laid a eagerness sensations to all fans. And recently, news had surfaced that there'll be a Hyper Battle DVD special of Gokaiger! READ ON!

Terebi Magazine is famous for releasing Hyper Battle DVDs, which are V-cinema that are commonly special videos for "Kamen Rider" series that is produced by Kodansha. This time, Gokaiger will have its own Hyper Battle DVD, and it is actually the first in the Super Sentai franchise history. The DVD will be available for the December Issue of Terebi Magazine.

The special will be entitled as Gokai Red's 36 Gokaichange! wait? 36? Aren't they suppose to be the 35th Super Sentai team? How did he get the 36th transformation?

The 36th transformation refers to Gokai Red Gold Mode. The Special majorly focused on Captain Marvelous and Ikari Gai, due to the fact that Ikari Gai, who as Gokai Silver is the only can accessed the Gold Mode form. The DVD will come along with a special DX Dice-Oh Card.

In this special, both Gokai Red and Gokai Silver were chasing after an action commander. During the battle, Gokai Red is said to change to all 35 Red Sentai transformations. When they both catch up with the Action Commander, they were blast with the Action Commander's special ability. Which ended up fusing the both of them, and cause quite a havoc to the 2-in-1 Gokai re..sil... urr... GokaiSilver with Red helmet and boots.

The fusion had caused a wack out moment between the 2 Gokaigers. The fusion resulted in Captain Marvelous, with Ikari Gai's energetic personality, which also resulted in a weird mixed transformation in their Gokaiger form. They(as fused Marvelous and Gai) must try to find a way to undo the fusion and somehow discover the accessibility of Gokai Red Gold Mode.

It is also revealed that both Marvelous and Gai are not the only ones that experienced the fusion process.

It is said that Barizorg too will went through a series of trial and error fusion, as an experiment to form a stronger Barizorg. The fusions resulted Barizorg to be in a number of fused forms, namely, Karazorg(not sure fused with who), Sugozorg(fused with a Sugoumin) and Nekozorg(fused with a cat).

So, do expect an epic straight 35 red sentai transformations including with a final Gold Mode epic-ness. Aside from that, the DVD special will also be a packed of humorous moments and laughters. The Terebi Magazine that came with this DVD will come this December.

Megamax Theme Song Revealed!

2011-11-27T22:02:00.001+08:00

We've seen Maki Ohguro who brought us, "Anything Goes!" for OOO's theme, and collaborated with Koji Kikkawa(who played as Narumi Soukuchi/Kamen Rider Skull) to sing the theme for Movie War Core, "HEART∞BREAKER". Now, we are about to see yet another bizarre Collaboration that will bring the theme song of Movie War Megamax! "SAMURAI STRONG STYLE" by Show Ayanacozey vs Marty Friedman!

In an internet definition search, "Yankee" defines a group of young delinquents. But Gentaro, prove that he wasn't one. The phrase "Do not judge a book by its cover" had inspired these 2 music entertainers to form a collaboration known as Show Ayanacozey vs Marty Friedman.

A newspaper scans was recently leaked among Tokusatsu fan-base sites and web-forum communities, and somehow shook a minority group of fans in Japan(as according to one of the 2chan's regulars). I bet their "yankee", "bosozoku"(bike gang style) & "megadeath" rocker style might have overwhelmed them.

Show Ayanocozey(who's also known as DJ Ozma) and former megadeath guitarist Marty Friedman will performed the song entitled, "SAMURAI STRONG STYLE" which is the main theme for the Movie War Megamax. Ayanocozey had mentioned that he is a fan of Kamen Rider series when he was a kid. Having watched Kamen Rider Super-1 & Kamen Rider Black, he was envious of Koji Kikkawa, a fellow musician had involved in the long running Kamen Rider Series.

To him, the song brings a kind of "heroic" vibe that is admired by Japanese and will give life to save others, and he had planned the style of the song to be the same way Ichirou Mizuki & Akira Kushida, who had both sang a number of retro Tokusatsu and Anime series. He mentioned that he was also very glad to have collaborated with Friedman for this song, since he was a megadeath trend fan back in Junior High. Friedman too express gladness with this very collaboration, since they've both previously collaborated for a "FANTA" commercial campaign. He also state that the song will also have an Ultimately "MANLY" feel to it.

Kamen Rider Meteor Kittaaa! & More

2011-11-25T20:13:00.001+08:00

Here's one of those times where multiple scans that reveals upcoming stuff that will appearing in the series and many more exciting stuff. Kamen Rider Fourze is half-way reaching to half of its season, and the secondary Kamen Rider is bound to appear very soon! And we all know, the long awaited Kamen Rider is none other than Kamen Rider METEOR! CHECK IT OUT!

As mentioned in earlier post, Kamen Rider Meteor is the second rider that will appear in Kamen Rider Fourze series. Kamen Rider Meteor is rumored to be a new transfer student, who is actually an alien named Gray, who came from Mars. He is said to have been chosen by Meteor(the switch??) and came to Earth to complete a single task. His purpose is to come and warned Gentaro about the great space war.

As seen from the above scans, Meteor is armed with the Meteor Galaxy, where he wields the power of the galaxies by activating the 3 toggles, which represents 3 different planets. He transforms with the Meteor Driver by utilizing an unnumbered switch, which is the Meteor Switch.

The above scans show Meteor riding his personal bike that is designed based on a Satellite motif and ram towards the Libra Zodiart, who is also one of those high ranking Zodiart in black cloths.

Among the same batch of scans that surfaced is also a section that reveals new switches, from Number 21-25. The Switches are 21- Stealth(Makes Fourze invincible) , 22- Hammer, 23-Water, 24-Medical(which looks more like a Toolbox) & 25 is Pen(which is in fact a writing brush).

Along with the introduction of new switches, Fourze had a new Limit Break move that involves not 2, but 3 Modules! This limit break finisher utilizes the Hi-Hack Gun Module, Launcher Module and Gatling Module.

Another Variant Limit Break finisher is revealed, which is in fact another variant of the regular Rocket Drill Kick. The Limit break move is known as the Rocket Drill Kick x2, which is the upgrade of the regular Rocket Drill Kick.

Another scans was spotted to have a darken image of Fourze Magnet State, this is one of those signs where the form will soon appear in the series. Kamen Rider Fourze utilizes 2 different switches that can be attached together to form the Magphone. It is the Magnet N Switch(number 30) & the Magnet S Switch(number 31).

December is coming pretty soon, and it looks like KRC will be celebrating their Christmas at the Rabbit Hatch. But hold on a second, Kengo is seen with a Mecha-ish glove gadget and the Fourze Driver? Will Kengo finally get his wish to transformed into Fourze?

Along with the Christmas scans, it seems that Fourze will fight a doppelganger of himself! It appears to be a Zodiarts in disguise, but which Zodiarts will it be? The answer lies on the stick used by Fake Fourze.

More Movie War Mega Max-ness!

2011-11-25T17:43:00.001+08:00

Recently, more Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO Movie War Mega Max scans had surfaced among the Toku-fanbase forums such as 2chan, HJU and many more! So, check out Mega Max-ness scans!

One of the main attraction of the movies is the appearance of the so-called actual powered-up form of OOO, Super Tatoba Combo. So, here's a scans of Super Tatoba Combo and the Super version of the 3 main medals OOO utilizes.

Super Tatoba Combo is formed by utilizing the super versions of each of the Tatoba combo medals, namely, Super Taka Medal, Super Tora Medal, and Super Batta Medal. Unlike the regular version of the medals, the Super medals had their Animal medal insignia colored in Gold. Like Tatoba, Super Tatoba had all of Tatoba abilities which when is much more enhanced and powerful than the normal Tatoba is.

As seen from the blurry scans above, it is seen that the Tora claws had extended in great length that comparing to regular Tatoba's Tora claws.

Along with Super Tatoba combo scans, it is confirmed that Kamen Rider Fourze Double Rocket state will appear in the movie and fight alongside OOO Super Tatoba combo to defeat the biggest threat in the movie.

Fourze is able to access this form with the help of the Super Rocket Switch(numbered as S-1, short for Super-1). Fourze Double Rocket State is armed with the Double Rocket module, which armed both of Fourze's arms with the Rocket module. The Finishing move of Fourze Double Rocket State is similar to the Rocket Drill kick, but with much more powerful penetration powers with both the rocket's thrusters boosting the drills penetrating power.

The main threat of the movie is known as Super Galaxy King. He is said to be the transformed form of the current leader of Foundation X. It is said that it utilized the belt similar to the drivers for the Dopant memories, but instead it inserts an unnumbered silver switch(which looks like a blank version of the Magic Hand switch) that make him into the biggest threat of the galaxy known as Super Galaxy King.

As mentioned in earlier posts related to Movie War Megamax, it was rumored that the 7 Legend Riders somehow fuses their powers to the 2 riders(OOO & Fourze) at the end of the movie and finishes off the main villain of the movie with the most epic finisher of all time. As seen from the image above, there will be 4 Legend Rider switches and 3 Legend Rider medals appearing in the movie. Is this how they fuse their powers to both OOO & Fourze? And What combo will X, Amazon and Stronger medal form?

It is said that these switches and medals are also a part of promoting more product releases for both the DX toys and the Ganbaride gaming system.

Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Megamax will premiere this December 10th, 2011. So, for those who are lucky enough while having a vacation in Japan during December, don't miss the epic action in Cinema! ^_^
