Back when ratings matter as well as ad commercial spon in between the show. Now, is gimmick after gimmick collect them all collectibles. I think the villain actor from liveman, jetman, and dairanger once said hurricanger gone kiddy, but now we're watching the cast role play demo the toy especially ryusoulken pulling. Kiramager is an exception with how simple things are. Maybe too simple even for the villains.

Zenkaiger might be a risky test for toei to retool super sentai in genral while keeping the same name and using anniversary as an excuse to get more eyeballs to be graps by initial shock, so they'll tune in. They failed trying to reboot gavan and kikaider. Now, sentai isn't in the best state compared to cheaper made animate toys sales. Likewise, 2021 saber is like ryusoulger if they had their village base. Zenkaiser looks like classic riders with one man carrying the show.

Well no, but at the time of writing, it was close to the bottom of the list.

My best guess was to somehow enable connection to another weapon, but it looks like just the little red flap is on the hinge, which seems... pointless? I'm pretty sure batteries go in the rear handle (plus that hinge wouldn't make for a super safe battery compartment lid), so that's likely ruled out too :eyebrow

It looks like there's a minipla line for just the weapons.

So are they planning on bringing back the Gokaigers and have them play a key role in the series? The same way they did with Decade in Zi-O.

I like that idea, although I think she'll be paired with a male robot sixth as well since Bandai will want to make a profit.

Maybe "want to make a profit" should be in quotes, since the "proof" they have for not having more women be superheroes in these shows is circular reasoning at best, and circular reasoning is fallacious.

Hmm...this article about Super Sentai actors from Gorenger to Zyuohger is really interesting! :D

Zenkaiger: who's likely to return?

It would be nice to have each ranger fight alongside one of their counterparts.

No, that won’t come until the 15th, as a response to the leaks.

The official Twitter is running a campaign. They’ll reveal the actor playing Zenkaiser on the 15th, but before that, three tweets have been posted with a set of initials, one of which belongs to the actor. The idea is that you place your bets by retweeting the one you think is correct. https://twitter.com/toei_zenkaiger/s...838098432?s=21

I personally voted K.K, because rumours suggest the guy who played Sayo’s boyfriend Kusaka in an episode of Kiramai will be playing the role and those are his initials.

It also happens to be the initials of Kazlaser's(the comedian who will be hosting the reveal) real name as well apparently. Would be hilarious if he went, "And the new Zenkaiser actor is...*throws away envelope*IT IS I!".:lolol
I knew of the guy but did not know he is a hardcore sentai geek like Shoko Nakagawa.

The photo or photos associated with the press conference reveal something important within the group shots: individual weapons (which is something I missed if it was already obvious at this point)!

Can't be certain exactly what's what cause of the vantage point (or lack thereof).

Here's another pic of it, which is still very strange and difficult to make out.
