Uchuu Keiji Gavan the Movie Trailer!

By October 20th the new Gavan movie will come out, but first is the trailer. The Metal Hero franchise hasn't really been brought up for a long time until Gokaiger had a team up with the first one Gavan. The movie easily got very popular and thanks to that another movie for the Metal Heroes as come will this be a revival? First thing is that the main focus will be a new Gavan called Gavan G so far the trailer doesn't explain that much (mostly because there are no subs yet). We do get a good look at the new villains and see Kenji Ohba as the original Gavan for one more time. What really surprised me is that there will also be a new Sharivan and new Shaider. New Sharivan is played by Riki Miura who was Geki Violet from Gekiranger and playing New Sharivan is a more recent popular actor in Toku, Hiroaki Iwanaga who has been R5 and the first one to be Kamen Rider Birth (Date-san!!). I do like how they are bringing in the other heroes in this movie, but so far by looking at them they look identical to the originals. Which is weird because look at Gavan G since he has little differences I was expecting the other two to have some differences as well. Either way I can't wait for this movie as it really screams Metal Hero and not only because it has the Metal Heroes. The movie is going to play the cards that the Metal Hero franchise is known for so there will be great tribute elements. If things go well there could even be a whole new Metal Hero series, but that's stretching it.

A New Gavan Movie?

Your eyes are not fooling you, a new movie for the Space Sheriff is coming out and the past Gavan will give his title to a new one. When I first heard about this I thought the next actor would be a young and pretty guy like rider and sentai have at times. The new guy though looks good for this role though. I like that he will have his own jacket and won't just be following on what Gavan is. His appearance is a little older, but he looks like a man. By that I mean a guy who looks like they can actually fight like the Riders from the Showa era. The new character will be his own person and who knows this could bring back the Metal Hero franchise. There could even be a new Gavan series if this movie does very well. His suit also looks a little different to the old one since he doesn't have much of the colors. It seems this will be the last time we will see Kenji play as Gavan and I can't wait for him to mentor the new one before his leave. By this picture the two could even be fighting together for this movie. The new Gavan movie will come out October the 20th.

Movie Month: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger VS Uchuu Keiji Gavan Review

The 80's had a lot of great things. Even for Toku the 80's was a very great time, there were Kamen Rider Black and RX as they still live as fan favorites. For Sentai we had Denjiman going to Turboranger as the 80's were known for being the darker side of Toku. By that I mean the series had more series plot twists for example the Liveman series is a perfect example of that and Kamen Rider Black carried some dark tones. There was one more great thing about the 80's though and that was a whole new franchise! Gavan came in 1982 and made the Metal Hero franchise starting out with the Space Sheriff trilogy. It is 2012 and recently this great hero has been brought back for the 30th anniversary for the Metal Heroes. So the hero is crossed over into Sentai as we get Gokaiger vs Gavan. Gokaiger is mostly known for it's tributes to the Sentai franchise, but they step out and tribute a different franchise and a great actor. The plot is pretty simple with the pirates being attacked by Gavan. They are being arrested for acts of piracy even though they have already been cleared for that by S.P.D. The fight starts in the air and yes the movie begins with this. The team's ship is taken down and Gavan reveals himself. The team decide to fight and that was a big mistake, Gavan easily wins and captures the pirates. He brings them back to a meeting area where a leader appears to execute the team. Gavan catches up on this and quickly saves the team. He actually knew what was going on and used the Gokaigers as bait. For who exactly, a Zangyack chief, but he has some connection to Don Horror! The enemy also made an imitation of Gavan. Gai comes to the rescue for the team and escape as Gavan fights on his own. Marvelous notices something though and hesitates, but the team escapes and Gavan is captured. The crew start to talk about Gavan and it seems Marvelous has been saved by him back in the past. Marve wants to rescue him, but how? For some reason Basco appears and tells the team where Gavan is. He is in the Makku Prison which is known for never letting anyone escape. Now the team need to get there and luckily two veterans appear. Shirou (Battle Kenya) and Oume (Denjiblue) appear out of nowhere and the team think they both look along with looking like Gavan. The two tell the team to get into the Makku Prison which is using the keys of Battle Kenya and Denjiblue. Now the team get into the prison and fight to save Gavan.

Pros- If you love Gavan and Kenji Ohba, you will probably love this movie. There are great tributes in this movie. We get to see Gavan's transformation like in the old series and the Gokaigers even get a narrative for their transformation. I like the little connections like Makku Space and the monster being related to Don Horror, these are nice and are used probably so that Gavan doesn't hog the spotlight. Having Basco actually interacting with the plot was kinda surprising. Usually the other villains just stay out in the movies, but Basco still stays true to himself and uses this to his advantage. Gavan was awesome, first the suit got redesigned and it looks fantastic. It keeps to the original design and gives it more shine like the sliver suit does. Marvelous had a different side of him than usual, but he still acts like himself. The fights were great from Gavan beating down the pirates to them teaming up. Gavan's song is even used in the background and when I heard that, my heart skipped a beat. Another great fight is when Gavan and Gavan Bootleg fight one on one and trust me I was gleaming with happiness thanks to that fight. The mecha fight is great as welll with the addition of Gavan's Dolgarin. Not only there are tributes to Gavan as I said if you love Kenji Ohba you will love seeing all three of his roles come to live in this movies. There are Sentai tributes with Battle Fever, Denjiman, and some nice appearances from past villains.

Cons- Even with nice connections, the villains are just average. Bootleg is silent, but hey he is just a robot. Anyways the design on Bootleg was great like Gavan's. The movie follows a tradition with showing the next Sentai team and I'm sorry, but I'm tired of this. It's random and is just there to get people excited about the new series. Sure they actually make a plot connection as the Busters fight Basco. Still they are there for a fight and that isn't right. I said this before with the villains, but why didn't they interact some more. I know the Zangyack usually leaves things to their commanders, but when they see a new hero joining in I was at least expecting some back up from Insarn. The story is pretty plain, but this movie is for an anniversary and it does that correctly. One thing that disappoints me is that Battle Kenya and Denjiblue don't get a great fight with Gavan, at least they transformed together.

Overall- There are mostly little flaws and there is some lack of tribute to Kenji. The movie is still amazing though with great fights showing that Gavan is still awesome! Also I am hoping there will be more Super Sentai/ Metal Hero crossovers. It would be very interesting to see heroes like Blue SWAT and B-fighter helping a Sentai team. I give this movie an A- because it works greatly as an anniversary movie and it keeps focus on the Gokaigers as the main characters.

Gokaiger VS Gavan Images

 I know this is a little old news, but I have been busy a couple of times and I forgot to make this post. Well with that, more images of the upcoming team up movie have been released. First is the usual group transformation and its nice to see Kenji in that pose again. I still wonder though if Gai will know about Gavan and other heroes.

It seems that Marvelous encountered Gavan before as he was saved by him when he was a child. Now he is going to try to arrest them and and he does! You don't mess with veteran heroes! Also the great shiny suit is coming back.

We also see the prison where our heroes will be held at as we see other past villains. First is Shizuka from Boukenger along with her master who is held in the bird cage with Yatsudenwani from Abaranger who also as Bae from Gekiranger in a cage. The three pollution ministers return even though they are dead. Even our favorite jealousy, pet, and hot spring owner Jelashitto is held in the prison. Even past Goseiger villains are held in there like Mons Drake, Kinggon and Robogog. The new monster is also shown in the picture who is the prison chief has inherited the blood of the Makuu leader Don Horror as he wants revenge on Gavan. I really like seeing the old villains return again its a nice treat to see returning actors even if its a small role. Even referencing to Don Horror from Gavan is a plus because that was anniversaries do they have elements of the past shows.

Here is the best part though, Gavan, Denji Blue, and Battle Kenya will fight together! Sure its the same guy, but how sweet is it to see the great roles of Kenji together. I really hope they act like a team in battle because it would be interesting to see combos they can make. There better be a final group attack with these three.

New Scans: Bootleging and Teaming Up

Well the scans for the new Gokaiger and Gavan movie are finally coming out as we get to see the villian of the movie. His name is Gavan Bootleg who is hired to arrest Gavan?! I have to say this villian looks epic because he gets the same shiny suit like Gavan, but the red lines and eyes really work well making him look evil. Gavan also looks great as well as his suit got updated as it is very shiny. I cannot wait for the upcoming fights with Gavan, Metal Heroes could be brought back to life!

Also a much better picture of Fourze's Rocket States along with Super TaToBa. I really like the Rocket States as the orange, blue, and silver work well together and that Drill Kick is going to be even more powerful now. Now I will say this now with more images of Super TaToBa I guess I'm starting to like it a little more, by the previews the colors looked a lot darker, but in the scans it looks a little brighter which is good. I still rather have Putotyra as the final form though.

Even more scans of Meteor have been released as well and now with his motorcycle as it looks awsome. Thats one great thing I'm liking about Kamen Rider now these days as the motorcycle is getting more focus. It reminds me of the past riders as the motorcycle started to die around Hibiki. They were shown during those past series, but not that much which is kinda weird because they are riders. Oh well I really can't wait for Meteor as it looks like the secondary rider could be better than the main for my opinion again (four times in a row).

Gavan and Sharivan In Gobusters?

A new rumor has come up and its about the metal heroes and the upcoming sentai series. It seems that after Gobusters will make their appearance on the Gavan and Gokaiger team up it seems that both Gavan and Sharivan will be regulars on the new series. This is pretty damn awsome I must say, two metal heroes with the new heroes. Could metal heroes become the next type of extra ranger in upcoming series? If this is true and this does work well it could continue with other metal heroes as this could be the revival of the metal heroes. Super Sentai has been lossing some popularity sadly with Kamen Rider becoming more popular. I do love Kamen Rider more, but Sentai is great as well and is a huge franchise in toku. Maybe the idea of a team of five is starting to get old for people as some series do not do good with that like Goseiger. Anyways bringing metal heroes in Super Sentai could be a good new thing for the franchise as we get a team of five or three along with single heroes who could help the team at times. I wonder if it will continue though if this is true because I would love to see B-fighter team up with a sentai team.

The Metal Heroes could be coming back

A New Rider and a New Mecha and a Returning Hero!

Yup its time for more Megamax pictures and as you can see we see the Double, OOO, and Fourze together in their henshin pose. Also we see the three riders, Nadeshiko, and a new rider! First this isnt the rumored Kamen Rider Grey. He is going to be a movie rider as his name is Aqua. High chance Aqua is going to be somehow related to Poseidon because think about it.

The new movie rider looks pretty badass I must say his helmet reminds me of the original kamen rider and his belt looks similar to something as well, but I cant remember. Anyways I like this design, it easily looks like a water themed rider with a great shade of blue mixed with silver. It seems that he will also using a jet ski. High chance this rider is a reference to Sea Jetter Kaito I dont know much about him, but I have seen images of him.

With Gokaiger news pictures of Kazen Gokai-oh have been released and thanks with Go-onger's great powers they can combine with Gojyujin along with MachFalcon. First I like how they keep the face of Gokai-oh and they have the drill from Gozyujin. Also there is a new hand equip I guess thats from MachFalcon. This will easily be used a lot for the rest of the series as new rumors come out about Basco getting more powers from Sun Vulcan and Fiveman as there will only be one left which will be Kakuranger. Will there be tribute episodes for the series Basco stole powers from? I hope so because I want to see a Maskman and Sun Vulcan tribute. I give credit to the show though to think of the story first not just focus on tribute episodes it will make the series more dynamic.

Also the first picture of Gavan vs Gokaiger has been shown as well! Showing Gavan in his famous pose with his laser sword. The original actor will be playing him of course and this is going to be awsome! Metal Heroes are great and it seems that they actually fought in the Legends War. The original three Gavan, Sharivan, and Shaider fought along with the sentai warriors. Even all of the other Metal Heroes are fighting as well like both the B-Fighters, Jansperon, Gun Gibson, SolBraver, and Knight Fire. There is a high chance that they didnt lose their powers mostly because Gavan can still use his powers. I cant wait for that though to see Metal Heroes redone in a movie and I'm hoping that this could revive the franchise because we can always have more toku. Overall both movies are going to be epic bringing back old heroes to fight again and the Gokaiger series is getting more epic with new rumors keep popping up like Joe and Barizorg's final battle and Doc's past!

Kamen Rider Megamax Update and Gokaiger vs Gavan Confirmed!

Yup the next rider movie is coming up soon and here we see the original seven riders. Also Nigo gets the black helmet like in the Stronger team up thank goodness we can tell Ichigo and Nigo apart more easily. By this picture Gen is acting like himself as he tries to talk to them, but Eiji is warning him for some reason. Another thing does Eiji remember what happened in the All Rider movie or will he forget because high chance they changed the times back to normal so will the original riders even remember him? Well Fourze's story is when the school is having a festival and Gen is writing about the urban legends, the Kamen Riders. A new group of villians appear called Dustard which is supposed to be mean star dust. Also a new rider appears as we know its Nadeshiko as she is called the female Fourze as she as a similar belt.

Dopants and Yummies, awsome!

OOO's story starts after the ending of the series as Eiji is being called to come back to Kougami. A meteorite crashes onto the Earth and a time disortion starts as we see the villian Miharu Minato as he has three core medals that he uses to become Poseidon. Also Miharu knows Kougami, so what is their connection and (SPOLIER ALERT!!!!!!!!) Ankh will somehow come back its probably because of the time disortion as everyone else will be back as well. Then we all know that somehow the stories will connect as the two main riders fight a villian. This time they will have the help of the seven riders and I'm still curious about the black man rumor and who could this villian be, I am still sticking with Titan on this because he is my favorite villian from Stronger.

Also the Gokaiger and Gavan team up as been confirmed as it will appear January 21st as it seems Gavan and Doggie are friends which does make sense because the space sheriffs did have other allies if I remember correctly. Now I know some fans will go why have a single hero team up with a team of five. Its been done before with Decade and Shinkenger and Saban did it with MMPR and Masked Rider (that one really sucked). I think both movies will be awsome though as Fourze is doing great right now as a series and the movie looks awsome, but I'm wondering when will Double join in and when is another Returns movie going to come out. Then seeing a Metal Hero again will be nice because it will be nice to see how they will use new graphics with Gavan.



Gokaiger Winter Movie Rumors: Gokaiger vs Gavan?

This is a strange, but awsome rumor that Gavan the first metal hero will be crossovering with the Gokaigers. I wonder why this is happening when Kamen Rider didnt yet or hasnt been rumored yet? Also it does sound fake because why would a metal hero be in a sentai movie, but his actor is Denjiblue and Battle Kenya so its possible that he could do another role of his and easily his biggest one. For me this rumor is probably a lie because it sounds too random and I think a Kamen Rider team up movie will come first before a metal hero. Or could this be a way to reboot the metal hero franchise there are rumors about a new series, hmmmmm.
