That's terrible.

What a sad way to end the year

his contribution to the fandom will certainly be missed.

My thoughts and prayers to all his friends and family.

It's always depressing when someone dies near new years.

I followed JEFusion for a very long time, before I even thought of doing TokuNation. They were an inspiration for me (along with RangerBoard and RangerCrew). I have always envied their dedication. I know many people have purposely created "fake news" to get them to report on it in response to their lack of proper crediting sources, but at the end of the day it all seems childish and unimportant.

RIP GekiDan, and thank you for all you did for the tokusatsu community.

This is just the worst news to end such a fantastic year of tokusatsu on. GekiDan will most certainly be missed. I may not have known him personally but I greatly respect his work and what he's done for news coverage in our genre. Bravo good sir.

Dang.

Sucks, Ive never really looked at JEFusion, but I know it was a good and dedicated group. Sorry for the family and friends.

After all the cool toku news this year it has to end like this. I first found out about JEFusion when rumors of a white combo for OOO came around. While that never came to fruition I stuck around because it was and still is a great resource for tokusatsu news.

May he rest in peace. It's not going to be the same without him, but we all owe it to him to carry on the spirit of his dreams.

OMG!! I'm in utter shock right now, while I did not know GekiDan personally, his creation was deeply ingrained into my daily routine for many many years. May he rest in peace and thanks for all he has brought to all of our lives

Damn. He was one of the first english speaking toku fans out there on the net.

He will be missed.
