Huh cute that they made Zordon the main villain.

I would love to see Wyzul from Ryusoulger return. But I won't get my hopes up since there's no guarantee that's the case, even though that would be funny.

Wow, a couple of those villain suits are among the best Sentai villain designs since ToQger.

Do you reckon the Zyuohger monster designer worked on these?, because some of the design aspects remind me of Ginis and Quval.

If so it is either Tamotsu Shinohara or Yukihide Toyota cause those two are the ones behind the character designs for that show. Most of the Zyuohger MOTW seem to be Toyota's work with Shinohara doing a select few it seems. Shinohara's more notable works are Changerion, the rider suits and monster designs from Ryuki, Gekiranger, and recently Zi-O.

Okay, Izilde's design is distracting me because of the holes (probably intended to be for missile turrets) at the bottom of the treads. I don't have my Ryusoulger minipla to check (guess what I left at my desk in 2020...?), but those look an awful lot like ports for KishiRyuOh to me. Now, I kinda want to see him as an arm.

He also because of his paint job reminds me of Doctor Bio from Spielvan a tiny bit sans monocle, or Colonel Icebot for those familiar with him from VR Troopers.

It'd be awesome if Boccowaus being fused to the wall means he's part of the villain's base and transforms into a Transformers equivalent of a titan mid-season. I know it's wishful thinking but the last time we got a large villain mech toy was all the way back to Serpentera, IIRC.

That sounds great! Kind of like what I was hoping would happen with Mechagodzilla in the *Ahem* Polygon Trilogy. Though, doesn't Smog Jouki from Kirageiger count?

I know the monster designer is the same guy who did Kirameiger and Kyoryuger. Did he also do Zyuohger?

For Zyuohger it was two of them like I said before, Tamotsu Shinohara and Yukihide Toyota. But Toyota seems to have done most of the monster designs for Zyuohger compared to Shinohara based on my findings around the internet. Majority of the monster designs credited Toyota as the designer, Shinohara's notable one being the one from episodes 10 and 11. I believe the artist you are referring to is K-Suke who did Kiramager and Kyoryuger but not Zyuohger.

so the twist is that the evil bird is the actual villain right

That's it! K-SuKe is the designer for Zenkaiger. Looks like, in addition to Kiramager and Kyoryuger, he did a lot of the MOTWs from Ninninger and a bunch of characters from Kyuranger. I really love his work...

But it would have been rad AF to see Shinohara work on the designs, considering how many utterly iconic Sentai villains he's designed over the last 30 years (Witch Bandora and all the Zyuranger generals, the Gorma Tribe from Dairanger, the main Youkai from Kakuranger, the Infershia from Magiranger, Rio & Mele and a bunch of other Rin Jyu Den users from Gekiranger, the Gedoshu from Shingenger, the Shadowline generals from ToQger, and the Deathgalien generals from Zyuohger... basically, all of my favorites :lol).

Shinohara, in other words, is GOAT. But K-SuKe is really good as well.

Yeah, he's giving me serious Iago vibes. And by that, I mean the Iago from Othello... not the Iago from Aladdin... even though they're both parrots. :lol

Now that y'all mention it, I can picture it later be the Dark Red Buster equivalent and be a purple-red Zenkaiser repaint with the Tojitendo emblem, etc. if they go that route.


Oh yeah, for sure. Kinda weird that he is veteran status, seems like yesterday he was working on Ryuki suits and monsters. In case you interested here is his personal website which I am surprised he still has it running. :lolol

It seems like he also does toy customizing too sometimes.

Zenkaiser also has a robot bird companion, doesn't he? The one who looks vaguely like the Geartlinger but doesn't seem to transform into it. And they even appear to have some similarities in their designs! Maybe it'll just be for thematic contrast, but I'll bet it's more than a coincidence...

(I'm having trouble posting images here for some reason so links will have to do)

Secchan probably is a parrot given its bright and colorful color scheme, not sure if Gege is based off of a chicken or a toucan. Or maybe a stylized crow/raven.

There's definitely going to be some duality there, and perhaps a backstory element as well.

And as much as I am glad for Tatsuhisa Suzuki to be picked as Gege a part of me wishes Hiro Shimono would be Gege just so he can unintentionally reprise the role of that douchebag toucan he played in Africa Salaryman. :lolol

However, I wonder how the Mecha will work. As in "Will there be additional Mecha forms for the other Main Mecha of Super Sentai?" And also, how will the combinations work? Will there be a new form that turns all of the Mechas into Limbs? Sorry I have a lot of questions. And also, what would each of the Mecha forms theoretically look like? Like Engine Sentai GoOnger. I can't say the name of Engine Sentai GoOnger without singing the theme. Engine Sentai Go ONGAH (Go-On). That theme is a special earworm that activates only when you say the name. So, Juran is based upon Daizyuzin. Gaon is based upon GaoKing. Magin is based upon MagiKing and MagiDragon. And Vroon is based upon Daibouken. I wonder whether most of the other Mecha will have forms based upon them. And how would they look like? I have so many questions and will likely not get any answers for a while.

I suppose. I can see a possible scenario where they go Kyoryuger/Kyuranger on us and give us extra rangers later on in the style of the kikainoid rangers.

So, I think someone’s worked out who’s playing Kaito’s parents (all we have to go off is one really tiny picture in the magazine scans)

Kaito’s dad, Isao, is rumoured to be Daijiro Kawaoka (Souji and Sou Otogiri in Kamen Rider Decade and Nossan’s dead brother-in-law in Kyoryuger).

Meanwhile, his mother Mitsuko is rumoured to be Marie Kai (Chiyoko Shiraishi and Hitomi Maki in Kamen Rider OOO)

I can definitely see more ranger showing up later, but I feel like they'll give the existing rangers more forms as well. Maybe they'll be a team of 10 with an average of 4.5 forms. No clue what the median will be tho

No new updates about the guest stars that'll reprised their roles in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger? I'm afraid that some of them will be in voice-overs instead of appearing there physically. That is, to avoid any COVID-19 Coronavirus spreading incidents on the set or on location. Any new updates regarding Naoya Makoto, Hiroshi Miyauchi, Kenji Ohba and other actors and actresses from the Showa, Heisei and Reiwa Era?

Yo it's aka no Baka. They got akaranger back again since gokaiger finale nod. I didnt expect the wild card generals from gokaiger and z lupin to return via real actors consider they did away the whole cast except for stunt actor and is state of emergency lockdown period. Zamigo. Basco. I guess the viewers need to retcon away the ninninger return for kyuemon as green. Be https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xHjkR9-UCus btw those gears are tiny and i guess PB releases for the villains one as always. They're much smaller in shows as well.

The poster for the Movie shows a close-up Super Warumono World's face and I'm starting to wonder if he's a composite of multiple villains all molded in the visage of the Black Cross Fuhrer!

My reasoning? I see what looks like a miniature variant of Lah Deus' face from Flashman on World's forehead.

I feel that attributing a sense of continuity to these movies is going to make you unhappy in the long run, but each to their own. I'm just pleased to see Baseball Mask back. :p

Yes indeed. I actually have two diagrams to show you that tell you what part belonged to which villain (they’re both pretty close, with the only disagreement being where Eras goes). There was a third, but I dismissed that as being reliable when it identified Gengetsu Kibaoni’s horns as being from Long.

I’ve also IDed King-Gong, General Schwartz, Quval and Eridoron among the villain lineup.

That'd make 30 main villains. Would only leave 14. They might be in there as well. Would be a waste to stop 2/3 of the way there.

This is some next level kit-bashing. Eat your heart out, Kiriya Kyosuke.

You should have posted this in the customs forum *joking.*

A look at Super Warumono Warudo’ SS influences from another side.

Love how he's pretty much every Sentai Villain mashed together. Also, pretty neat to see all of the returning villains in the trailer. Looking forward to the show.

Thanks for that, Androzani84! No clue where you got all that from, but it definitely gets the point across.

Pretty obvious that this is inspired by the Combined Combatant from the Gokaiger Movie, but with "Big Bads" instead of grunts.

I got the pictures from an account on Twitter. I doubt I could find it again, because the guy blocked me.

some rumors have begun circulating for the 6th Zenkaiger-

*His name is "TwoKaizer." Visually similar to Gokaiger suit but in gold. Can transform from Ninja to Samurai forms. He carries the Gokaiger, Ohranger and Shinkenger Gears.

*Transforms with the GearDaringer weapon.

*Mecha "TwoKaiOh" (a crocodile battleship plus a pair of chibi robots).

Ohrangers were ninjas?

If it's Gokaiger, Ohranger and Shinkenger then I doubt he's a ninja. Still, sounds awesome!

Not a huge fan of the name TwoKaiser, but definitely sounds interesting. So he's basically GokaiGold, which I don't mind, curious to see his henshin device.

TwoKaiser's henshin device is calle GearDaringer???

It's gonna be hilarious to see that notoriously teeny, tiny gun brought up to Sentai toy scale. :lol

I was wondering if the sixth would be ninja-themed, since they seem like the biggest recurring Sentai theme not already represented in the core five.
