Yep the synopsis on the flyer only mentions that in 2016 the Bugsters appear out of nowhere and attack people and genius gamer Emu swears to get rid of them by becoming Kamen Rider Ex-aid using the gamer driver and the legendary game softwares called gashats. Multiple genre of riders will appear, Ex-aid must master the many games and defeat the Bugsters. They don't mention anything else besides what I just wrote. I would not be surprised if it did lead to that Emu pulled a Tony Stark and created the Bugsters but I will take it with a sack full of salt until we get them terebi-kun scans and press conference material.

A Youtuber named SpecialForm12 says TOEI Viewers Says Ex-Aid is to be Dark and Edgy series like think Ryuki meet Drive

He got the source from Cranejoe and J HERO

Just go to the comment where he says about Ex-Aid being Dark and Edgy show

If Kamen Rider Ex-Aid seris is dark series I think Ex-Aid also will similar to Gaim because both Gaim and Ex-Aid themes looks light hearted and colorful (fruits and video games) but has darker plot and darker storyline.....

You really shouldn't be so quick to believe random people.

He's got that bogus series description in the video description that he ripped straight from HeroShock. He's also being pretty evasive to provide an actual source that's not just "this guy said xxx". Also he straight up deleted the comments where he said that the series was dark and me asking for a source. (like, he might have just let something slip but that still wouldn't be an official source)

I'm not intending to trash other places but if you want scans and stuff, forums and other blogs will serve your needs. If you want tokusatsu news with verifiable details and sources from the Japanese media, I would stick to the Tokusatsu Network. Full disclosure, I work for the Tokusatsu Network but we're in the habit of not spreading unverifiable news. I'm not saying other places don't post real news from time to time but places like JE Fusion and Orends often simply repost news from other blogs. I also don't believe anyone who writes for those sites can read Japanese whereas TokuNet has various people on staff that are fluent. If you see something on TokuNet you can be 99% sure it's true. (we have a good relationship with Toei because of it, several of our members have been in Sentai and Rider and we've been invited to press conferences in the past)

Goodness gracious that's a vibrant pink. I like the suit but my eyes hurt a bit from the pink. I say that with a pink avatar

You work for Tokusatsu Network, Congratulation on that! Which press conference did you went to?

TokuNet's been to press conferences for Surprise Drive, the ToQger v-cinema release, and the Ninninger movie, among others. (you can see those press conferences with English subs, along with all the interviews we've had with actors on our Youtube channel)

Can anyone link a nice clear version of this flyer? I found one where the text is just barely legible, and it's a little annoying.

It looks like the name Emu is written with some kanji or another, which I find interesting. I figure "M" would be a cool hacker alias kind of thing, but this suggests the guy's name is actually real.

It's also definitely not short for emulation though, since that'd be something like "emyu" in kana. Unless they were explicitly thinking about romanization, which again, given Toei's track record for weird names, would not surprise me.

Not that I'm fluent or anything. I'm sure there are more qualified people than me to discuss this kind of stuff.

Wow it really cool to have a member that works with Toei here.
