So, does the fact that the trademark has an English translation for the title mean anything? The kanji says Chou Uchu Keiji, but there's plain old Super Space Sherrif in there for us

I've seen some of the supposed leaks for this show, and if they are true it sounds like a show that takes influences from a lot of sources, but combines them in a way that isn't really like any other tokusatsu on the market right now. Exciting times!

Here are all of the current rumors?

- Universe Heroes is the new brand.
- SSS Gavan Infinity, the flagship of the Universe Heroes brand, is the series that will air in Sentai?s place in 2026.
- The series will merge Sentai and Metal Heroes into a shared universe, combining elements of both franchises in equal parts.
- The toy line is 100% Sentai, with a full line of Gattai Robos that are compatible with the Robo Universe joint system.
- This is a totally new Gavan.
- The structure of the cast is basically the new Gavan, in the role of the red ranger, teaming up with a female White Ranger. They interact with a group of rival sentai heroes, along the lines of Gozyuger?s ?not-a-team?-team.
- Some less solid rumors suggest all of the rival heroes are competing to collect monsters, similar to the Chemys from Gotchard.
- This is being done so that Toei can leverage the show globally without Hasbro?s interference. They?re essentially reskinning Sentai concepts with Metal Heroes branding.

This is how things are looking as of now. Who knows what will come to light over the next few weeks, but this all seems pretty believable to me.

I like to think it could be Toei and Bandai's next move to make their brand of tokusatsu an international thing. :rock:

I haven't been keeping up with rumours, what exactly are they?

The described version is perhaps quite appealing, but the inclusion of "Gavan" in the name of new project confuses me. Why such clarification and connection to a specific hero? And as a bridge between "space sheriff" and "red ranger," Sharivan works much better. Of course, the reason could be the popularity of Gavan and its role as the start of a new franchise, but I still have some doubts. Therefore, I have two options:
A) It's a description of the very concept of a new franchise, and Infinity Gavan as a show (movie?) will be just the first part and a test of audience reaction.
B) It's simply an attempt to unite and reconcile all the conflicting rumors gathered online. And therefore, it bears little resemblance to reality.
