I doubt 2027’s Universe Hero show will be called Gavan. But will it be another Space Sheriff show? Or something else entirely? We just don’t know yet.

That said, I’m decently confident this is the series we’re getting in the sentai timeslot once Gozyuger ends.

now it's not universe heroes and this is project r.e.d.

"From the Toei twitter "Taking its name from the initials of the English translation of "Super Dimensional Heroic Tales", 【Records of Extraordinary Dimensions】, this PROJECT R.E.D." when you take Super Dimensional Heroic Tales and translate it from chinese to english you get Universe Heroes"

The above excerpt is from a post on Discord. So, while it may not exactly be "Universe Hereoes", in a long, roundabout way, it is. Lol!

So, based on all the promotional materials we've seen so far, I'm starting to get the feeling that TOEI might be moving towards the idea of "Anthology" shows, maybe even in 2 separate meanings of that word?

Theres 2 kinds of shows called anthology shows in the west, and both have become very popular and also exist in japan:

The first is shows like Twilight Zone, Black Mirror and Outer Limits, and many others in the west. Then in Japan, you have Neo Ultra Q and Tales of the Bizarre, among others. Early Tokusatsu superhero shows were almost identical to these shows, emphasizing single episode arcs. I think "Universe Heroes" might end up being something like this. We have a precedent already with the TTFC specials, but they can broaden this quite a bit to increase interest in the many series that already exist.

The second anthology-type show is the American Horror Story, Channel Zero, "Haunting of", Them, etc. And Im sure there are tons of other examples but I'm blanking. Even Garo functions a little like this, where characters sometimes return but you also get totally isolated timelines or plots, prequel series, etc. A lot of these series tend to run for 8-12 episodes and then move onto a new story, and I'm starting to think this might be the case of R.E.D/Gavan Infinity.
