He would probably need to be betrayed by Tojitendo first

Just gonna point out that Hakaiser reveals his identity in the Halloween episode.

Lot of speculation (and whining) about the copyright to the next series, but it seems as though Zenkaiger might NOT finish in the conventional sense as there is some "evidence" that Zenkaiger might get a sequel and/or "second season"!

I'm actually pretty down for a sequel series.
Strangely though, it's mostly because of the toys. I felt Zenkaiger's mecha gimmick is great, but they didn't really explore it's possibilities. 2 mechs plus an additional left side option? There should've been so much more, so hopefully a sequel will help really let that gimmick bloom.

The rumors I’m hearing are that “Bakutaro Sentai” (which is what it’s being called in the “confirmed” leaked toy lists) is more of a spin-off than a sequel. We know that Zenkaizer and Juran will be featured in the next series, but their level of involvement could be isolated to, like, stock footage gattai sequences. Or, they could show up for a couple episodes and then leave. Or they could be full fledged members of the cast (though probably not members of the next team). No one knows!

AND, if current rumors hold true, next year’s Red will be a regular part of Zenkaiger during the last 8-ish eps.

So, even if it’s not technically a sequel, next year is introducing a whole new level of continuity across Sentai series, with the Zenkai World acting as a hub.

Should be pretty interesting!

Hmmmmmmm

That "Bakutaro Sentai" trademark name is fake

"Disnatzer" is fake, not "Bakutaro Sentai."

Bakutaro Sentai is how this line is being sold to toy retailers in Japan. That's not a rumor, it's confirmed. What we don't know is the third word in the title (and we won't know that until the full title is legitimately trademarked). That Twitter account took the "Bakutaro Sentai" leak and added a lame "Deez Nuts" joke for the part of the title we don't know.

Also not a rumor: Next year's Red is based on Momotaros. He will be introduced in Zenkaiger in January. Then, Zenkaizer and Juran will have some kind of role in next year's series (how big a role we don't know, but we do know that Juran will combine with the new Red's motorcycle mech to form next year's first gattai robot). Sentai Gears, with an updated form factor, will continue as next year's collectible widget. These are leaks from retailers, they are not rumors.

How do we know they're from retailers?

Retailers have said it. https://tokullectibles.com/collectio...minipla-set-01
