So here is the point Bandai announced a new set of CSM Gaia Memories to go with the previous CSM W Driver ver. 1.5 (which was reissued with said Memories for those who missed/ignored it the first time). Among other changes, the de-transformation now requires you to press the button on the Memories rather than removing them from the belt, you can change what finisher sound the Memory produces by holding down the button, and Cyclone and Joker have secondary “Lost Driver” modes which shorten their transformation sounds. And since the anime is using soundalikes, it means that Bandai doesn’t have to worry about not including voice lines because the actors are too expensive.

And as another example of the Dopant designs not needing to be made into suits, we meet our big bad the Aurora Dopant, who has no neck (his face just floats on purple smoke). Speaking of which…

Special Guest Alert!

Aurora’s VA is Daisuke Endo, better known as (one of) the titular character from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. But within the world of Tokusatsu, he was New Den-O’s Imagin partner Teddy within Kamen Rider and the narrator, equipment voice and movie theme singer for Ultraman Taiga.

Next time: a takedown of toxic gamers in the form of another unpronounceable prehistoric creature Dopant.
