Kamen Rider Zero-One Revealed!

REJOICE, for a new Kamen Rider has graced our world. Yes, it's that time again. Time to go over the next Kamen Rider series, in this case the FIRST Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 2019-20 Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Zero-One!

The suit design for Zero-One looks pretty good with the black and neon green color scheme. It's a lot more sleeker than previous Heisei Rider suits, but it also gives homage to the Kamen Riders of old during the Showa Era. This comes into mind again when his main form has a grasshopper motif.

To transform, our hero will use the Hiden Zero-One Driver to transform. He can activate it by using the collectibles for the show, the Progrise Keys. His main key will be the Rising Hopper Progrise Key.

We then meet the secondary Rider for our show, Kamen Rider Vulcan, who uses the A.I.M.S. Shotriser to transform, which starts out as a gun for combat, but can be placed on his waist as a belt. His Progrise Key is Shooting Wolf. Our third Rider will use this device as well, who will be a female Rider, Kamen Rider Valkyrie. I'm just hoping they keep alive or not shaft her as the show goes on. She will use the Rushing Cheetah Progrise Key to transform.

Zero-One will later gain more keys to access new forms. He will have Flying Falcon, Biting Shark, Flaming Tiger, and Freezing Bear Progrise Keys. Vulcan and Valkyrie will get new keys and forms as well. Vulcan gets the Punching Kong Progrise Key and Valkyrie will get the Lightning Hornet Progrise Key.

The Progrise Keys can be held in the Progrise Key Connector, which comes with the Amazing Hercules Progrise Key. The Breaking Mammoth Progrise Key can assume Breaking Mammoth form, which much like Gaim Suika Arms, appears to be a giant robot form.

There will be a third Driver, the Metsuboujinrai Forceriser. By inserting the Sting Scorpion Progrise Key, the user will transform into an evil rider named Kamen Rider Horobi. Another user will use the Flying Falcon Progrise Key to transform into Kamen Rider Jin.

Each Rider, will get an attache case that can fold out into a weapon. Zero-One will wield the Attach Calibur. Vulcan gets the Attach Shotgun and the Attach Arrow will be owned by Hirobi.

Zero-One and Vulcan will get upgraded keys. Zero-One will be given the Shining Hopper key to access Shining Hopper form and Vulcan gets the Assault Wolf key to access Assault Wolf form.

In these new forms, they can wield the Authorise Buster. Zero-One can use it in axe form while Vulcan can use it in blaster mode.

Much like Build, Zero-One will have a phone device that can transform into his motorcycle, this being the RisePhone.

So, that is it for today. Kamen Rider Zero-One will makes it premiere on September 1, 2019. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Later.

Ultraman Taiga Revealed!

Hey guys, I'm back! I know it's been a long time, but I wanted to go over something that's been revealed like about two months ago. And the show is almost about to premiere this Saturday, but regardless I still want to talk about the new Ultraman series coming up, Ultraman Taiga.

Much like Zero and Geed, our main Ultra Hero will be the son of a classic Ultraman, in this case, we meet the son of Ultraman Taro himself, Ultraman Taiga. Once again, the Ultra Series continues to bank on nostalgia, which I do admit is very tiring, but it seems that gimmick won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Anyways, let's talk about the Ultramen for this show and as oppose to just form changes, our hero, Hiroyuki Kudo, will be the host for not one, but THREE Ultramen, labeled the Tri-Squad. First, is the aforementioned son of Taro, Ultraman Taiga, whose design is well reminiscent of Taro with his color scheme and the horns, but continues adding new details with the blue chest and the extra horn in the middle. The next Ultraman is Ultraman Titas, who comes from the same planet as Ultraman Jonias, the main hero of the anime series, The★Ultraman. A huge detail to notice is that this guy is VERY buff, which is mainly because of his purpose to fight heavyweight battles. He also has stars on his head and chest, which is a nice homage to Jonias. The third Ultraman is Ultraman Fuma, who comes from the same planet as Ultraman Orb, Rosso, and Blu. Really like the blue and silver color scheme. It's a breath of fresh air from the usual red and silver. Kinda reminds of Cosmos, Hikari, and Blu. Fuma is mainly the more sleeker Ultraman, used for fast battles.

 

The main henshin device is the Taiga Spark, which kinda reminds me of the Geki Changers from Gekiranger. The gimmicks for the season are the Ultra Taiga Accessories, which can come in keychains, bracelets, or rings. The keychains are used by Hiroyuki to change between the three Ultraman that dwell within him. The bracelets, that resemble past Ultraman, are used for finisher attacks. Last is the rings, which are used to summon Kaijus.

The main villain of the show will be Ultraman Tregear, who was the main villain of Ultraman R/B The Movie. In his human form, he uses the Tregear Eye to transform. As the series goes on, Taiga will gain the Photon Wing, which will give him access to the form of Ultraman Taiga Photon Earth.

What do you think of the new hero? Leave a comment below. Hopefully, you enjoy your summer. Later.

That's it for now. I know I haven't been doing that much stuff lately, mainly because I am busy with other stuff in my life, but this blog is not dead. In the future, I will post more content. Thanks for your understanding and viewing of today's Gravure Idol of the Week. Later.

Ryuusouger Revealed!

What's up? It's that time of the year. Just now, we have gotten scans for the next Sentai series that will be preceding Lupinranger VS Patranger. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the 2019-20 Super Sentai Series, Kishiryu Sentai Ryuusouger!

Now I know what you are thinking? "Dinosaurs, again?!" Originally, when the trademark dropped, we thought we were going to get dragons and knights. Most fans were disappointed when it turned out it was another dinosaur Sentai team, but at least we're getting the knight aspect, which I do hope the series focus' on a lot more. Another reason why they are doing dinosaurs again is because the toy sales and ratings for Lupinranger VS Patranger aren't doing very well and they're last major success was Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, which gained huge popularity. 

Much like the aforementioned Sentai, the colors for our team are the exact same. There's RyuusouRed, RyuusouBlack, RyuusouBlue, RyuusouGreen, and RyuusouPink. The suits themselves are pretty cool, IMO. The zigzag may look silly, but I like how it divides the torso into two halves, with the left being the color and the right being silver, which is the color of knight armor. The helmets are the best part, with green being my favorite.

 

First, we have they're henshin device, the Ryuusou Changer. It mainly resembles Abaranger's Abare Brace, but from my point of view, it also looks like a knights' head. In order to activate, the team will use the powers of the RyuuSouls, which are a combination of the Ranger Keys and the Abaranger face plates. You can the figure into the dino face plate and insert it into the Ryuusou Changer. They're main sidearm is known as the RyuusouKen, which is a sword. They can open up it's mouth and insert a RyuuSoul for a special attack.

They're are also auxillary RyuuSouls, which our heroes will uses to access weapons that resemble the Armed On from Kyoryuger. Since the weapons don't correspond with their colors, I'm going to assume they can trade them. The RyuuSouls can also be stored in the Ryuusoul Buckle.

Next, is the mecha, which are called KishiRyu. Red's mech is a Tyrannosaurus Rex (I'm so shocked) named TyraMigo that has a humanoid form much like RyuuseiOh and Go-Buster Ace. It will be the main robot of the series named KishiRyuOh. It can also take on other forms, like placing it's head on it's arm and turning into a tank-like mech. Blue will have a Triceratops named Triken and Pink will have an Ankylosaurus named Ankyloze. They can combine with KishiRyuOh to form KishiRyuOh 3 Knights. They can also mix and match and have the armor switched around, where either blue or pink can take the lead.

Green will have a Sabertooth Tiger known as TigerLance and Black is named MilNeedle. It is not confirmed whether it is a stegosaurus or a miragaia. The two can form armor for KishiRyuOh as oppose to just forming new arms, forming the combinations known as KishiRyuOh Tiger Lance and KishiRyuOh MilNeedle.
