Of course, I wouldn't complain about the return of the man behind amazing shows like Jiban and Kakuranger. The interview with Shirakura gives the impression that Sugimura cares strongly about the show's identity. If his ambition lives now, then I'd put my faith in him to deliver the update to Metal Heroes.

Unfortunately, Noboru Sugimura passed away in 2005.

I think it's more likely they'll go with someone like Naruhisa Arakawa (revived Kamen Rider in 2000, has Metal Hero experience as well) or even Yasuko Kobayashi (if she's interested in coming out of retirement from tokusatsu). Junko Komura is also a possibility, but her three Sentai are some of the worst performing seasons and Gavv saw a dip in toy sales too.

There's also always the wild card of Toshiki Inoue if they really want to go all in with making this a departure from what they're producing right now.
