Also, the press conference for Zyuohger's happening or just happened. Among the things shown off for it was a series of clothing for fans to buy and besides t-shirts based off of the Zyuohger's costumes, there's also this new anniversary shirt.
1/23 EDIT:
A recording of the Zyuohger theme got played at the press conference. Check it out while it's still up.
Also, a news clip shows off Ghost's third Rider making a live appearance at a stage show featuring Ghost and the Ninningers alongside his unmasked identity.
Here is our first visual of the Deathgalian generals.
At the center, we have the leader (in white) Zynis.
From left to right : Hazard (the purple cube monster), Cuval (the big head monster) and Nalia (the green monster).
What's funny is that Zyuohger's and Ninja Steel's villains have very similar premises
Ninja Steel is an intergalactic game show
The Deathgaliens are also playing a game-- Earth is the 100th world they are seeking to conquer as part of a contest.
The two male generals are competing (one prefers physical domination, the other emotional), and the female is Zynis's assistant. She grants Continue Tokens to fallen contestants (I'd imagine this is how they'll revive to fight the mecha)
Zynis – Kazuhiko Inoue
Naruto fans, Mr. Inoue’s voice will surely ring a bell since he is currently voicing Kakashi Hatake.
Azald – Joji Nakata
The tough guy of the group will be voiced by the one who lended his voice to Hody in One Piece and Keyes in Fairy Tail.
But he’s not an unknown to the Super Sentai franchise. In Flashman, he portrayed Sir Cawler, as well as Bias in Liveman.
Cuval – Mitsuo Iwata
Mr. Iwata already voiced various monsters in Ninninger, Gokaiger and Shinkenger, and he is currently voicing Champa in Dragon Ball Super. He is also the voice of Emporio Ivankov in One Piece.
Nalia – Minako Kotobuki
The voice of Karina / Blue Rose in Tiger&Bunny and Cure Diamond in DokiDoki! Precure will delight us.
EDIT: Preview for next week's Kamen Rider Ghost is up, the episode being the debut of Ghost's third Rider.
I think it's a nice touch that the Parka Ghosts' suits have a neutral insignia of a hornless eye.
1/23 EDIT: Saw a clip of Specter's new Eyecon in action from this week's episode and it's pretty neat.
Turns out Specter's bike isn't an attachment for Houdini's Parka Ghost, it IS the Parka Ghost which considering it's chained-up look probably explains a little why it refused to help Specter last week. It's Omega Drive is pretty good too as the Hoodie portion of Houdini extends four chains from it's split wheels to ensnare the target from above so Specter can drop down in a spinning kick maneuver to take them out.
Says it's not available on my platform, which is just my computer. Weird.
Also watching the Fourze movie right now and uh, there are a LOT of guns in this. The opening scene was literally a woman shooting the mooks with a rifle. She then spends the rest of the movie shooting people with a pistol.
If you haven't yet, watch the first Superhero Taisen movie. He doesn't factor much into the middle portion of the story but he plays a big role in the final battle.
'Super Sentai Megazord'-big that is.
EDIT: Magazine scans for events happening in Ghost as well as other Toku projects are starting to appear again. First up is this new addition to Ghost's cast.
Replacing Javel is Igor(l?), a new Ganma Superior that looks to be the first Ganma armed with a 'mass production model' of Necrom's Mega-Ulorder, allowing him to don different coats via Driver-compatable Ganma Eyecons for extra powers in addition to what strengths Ganma Superiors typically have if the pictures are any indication.
Next is the first look at Kamen Rider Ichigo's new look for the Kamen Rider Superhero Year film.
While translations aren't 100% out yet, it looks like the new look is less a modernization of Ichigo's suit and more of a Super Mode form. He looks to be getting either a new bike to go with it or getting it upgraded itself, it being called either way the Neo-Cyclone.

More of Ghost's big events for February have come to surface. This time it's about a notice from a toy catalog that mentioned one Rider borrowing the personal Eyecon of another.
For those that saw the notice, they'll remember that it mentioned Specter using Necrom's personal Eyecon. As it turns out, it's not a willing choice but rather Alan forcing a beaten Makoto to use it to put him under his thrall and fight Ghost. This makes some sense as the personal Eyecons are supposedly holding a piece of their Rider's soul. So Alan's basically using his Eyecon to indirectly possess Makoto.
Another 'Ghost in February' scan has popped up, this time an entire page which shows off one of the Eyecons Ghost's third Rider will be using.
Eyecon #15 is Sanzo, based on the real-life monk and/or the fictional character from Journey To The West that he inspired, Xuanzang, and looks to be the Eyecon Alan will use to become a Rider while his personal Eyecon's with Specter. Other then a detachable ring that looks to be useable as a melee weapon, it's unknown what abilities the Eyecon will grant him.
Pictures from magazine scans showed Ghost and Specter being involved and from the sound of it, so will the Hermit.
Also, Heroshock has more complete scans for February. Let's start with Ghost.
Here's the other half of the spread featuring Necrom's Eyecons with #14 being Grimm, based on the fairy-tale authors, the Brothers Grimm. Much like Sanzo, Grimm comes with built-in weaponry in the shape of dagger-like pen-heads that rest in inkwell-shoulderpads. Connected to the shoulderpads via whip-like lines allow Necrom to apply the pen-heads at a distance.
Ghost will have some backup to deal with Necrom's use of Sanzo and Grimm in the form of Eyecon #10, Himiko, based on the shaman queen of ancient Japan sporting the same name. As seen, Himiko seems to have an ability to deal out fire damage which works well with Boost.
And Himiko won't be the last Eyecon to be compatible with Boost as it seems Ghost will start using it with the Eyecons gained prior to it's debut, which may also be tied into Ghost's bonding with the Eyecons themselves.
This month's scans also features some of the Riders that'll be seen in the Youtube Rider-Eyecon series as well as a look at the final villain, Sivalva. It's not yet known if he's one of the twins that approached Ghost and Specter or a third player with an interest in the Rider Eyecons.
Finally, the Rider arcade game will get another exclusive Eyecon for Ghost, this one representing the Italian astronomer Galileo.
Not to leave Super Sentai out, here's some of the scans for Zyuohger.
As mentioned before, the team have a standard weapon called (so far) the Zyuoh Busters but Zyuoh-Eagle also has a personal weapon in the form of a whip-sword called the Eagriser (or King Sword).
And also mentioned previously is their Wild/Instinct Awakening mode which allows them to bust out a feature tied to their representative animal.
When things get really heavy, the team can summon their Cube Animals to either attack as a group or combine three of them to form Zyuoh-King. Eagle's, Shark's and Lion's cubes are the default for King though Tiger and Elephant can be swapped in place of the latter two. There'll also be Cube Animals that become weaponry rather then parts for King such as Cube Giraffe which becomes a bazooka.
Here's some interesting information on SHY: Kamen Rider 1. It looks like Hiroshi Fujioka AKA (Kamen Rider 1's actor for those that don't know) co-wrote the script alongside Mr 'Poor Communication: The Story', Toshiki Inoue. The director is Osamu Kaneda whose's directed Kamen Rider Den-O & Decade as well as episodes of OOO, Gaim and Drive. He's also directed the first two Superhero Taisen movies (which tend to be seen as the better of the four), Decade's All Riders Vs Dai Shocker movie, OOO's Let's Go Kamen Riders movie, Gaim's solo film and the Ghost/Drive Movie Wars film.
surprise future was good i got real sad about shinnosuke's future son
I haven't seen the movie itself yet but...
...did the sub specifically say that Eiji was dead or did 108 simply claim that he defeated him? Either way, time's fluid enough that Shinnosuke and Krim can set it up so that the 'defeat' still happens so that 108 can go back in time and do his thing while Eiji manages to live. Also, I heard the movie doesn't address NEXTridoron or the future Shift Car(s) being sent back but I guess it either gets sent back off-screen or it'll maybe happen during Chaser's movie.

So here's the thing
they can set up a future where AN Eiji lives but THAT Eiji still for real died in order for 108 to travel back in time and IT'S SO SAD
also continuity issues are basically the last thing I care about in a toku show :rotate:
A three-minute trailer for Zyuohger was released a day or two ago. This is the best version I can find on Youtube since Toei's been yanking copies off since it came out so it's best to watch it sooner rather then later.

That's too bad, August Ragone seems like he really knows his history and those segments were really interesting
I'm actually thinking about picking up one of his books?
@Lorahalo apparently Shout Factory has all of Zyuranger up for free as long as you watch some hulu-level ads?
http://www.shoutfactorytv.com/series/super-sentai-zyuranger
Thats pretty awesome!
Whelp
W was going to be my next toku, and I was waiting till after I finished the Hamilton biography to start that
but I think professionally subbed Zyuranger might take precedence over both?
even though I've heard it's not that great
but it will be very educational and PR was my favorite show for a many years
I watched 5-ish episodes and its not outstanding but Bandora is completely wonderful and I might watch it just for her
That...

Whoops. One of the rare times I try to read the forums and post on my phone. I couldn't watch the video and also completely misread the post.
If OOOs taught me anything, it's that singing equipment is the best.
We're definitely doing themed avs with zyuogher and those will be titles/locations
