Boukenger and Ultraman aren’t the only anniversary releases this week. Though most already know, Tokuplex has also recently dropped a new release in the ass-kick-tacular, Gaoranver vs. Super Sentai! I thought Boukenger vs. Super Sentai was all kinds of kickass, but when it comes to anniversary specials, Forever Red and Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai still reign supreme.

Stop on over to Tokuplex, boot up your BT Tracker and get it while it’s hot!

Recently, all three major tokusatsu franchises celebrated their anniversary. Ultraman with its 40th, Sentai with its 30th and Kamen Rider with its 35th, and while the latter didn’t do anything too special, Ultraman and Sentai sure did. And to help fans celebrate are two new fansub groups bringing you two new movies.

First up us Go Go Sentai Boukenger VS Super Sentai, brought to you by Elite Justice Fansubs. The Boukenger have been trapped in an alternate dimension by a new villain and it’s up to Eiji to gather up some of Sentai’s finest to bring the team back, along with the help of the mysterious new red, AkaRed.

Fushigi-chan brings us the second movie, Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra Brothers. 20 years ago, a monster with unrivaled power arose and threatened all mankind. Thanks to the efforts of the Ultra Brothers, the monster was sent back to the sea. Now in the present, the monster has returned and is allied with various other aliens. The Ultra Brothers return to earth to help the newest member of the space garrison, Mebius, defeat this threat once and for all.

Usually I rotate the entries, but this entry was too epic to simply pass so, without further ado I present to you Takeru Sato (Ryoutarou Nogami/Kamen Rider Den-O)’s graduation.

There’s been a lot of hellos and goodbyes.
Also, this hope that keeps beating within my chest.

When will be the next time I’ll meet everyone again? 1 year from now? 2 years from now? Long from now, even longer from now I doubt that I’ll be seeing these people again. But, meeting these people everyday has become natural to me.

My teacher would get mad at me for sleeping during class. During lunch we would all meet together to eat from our lunch boxes. During recess and after school was when I would really say some stupid things. Before a test I would always get to school late because of studying for it. Then when the test was over we we all get together and eat. But now that won’t be happening anymore.

Often I would say ” Iya~ I won’t feel anything yet. But when I don’t have to go to school anymore, its probably going to feel kinda empty. “

But I never expected it.

Now those sentiments are real; its (school) no longer happening . Its lonely. School was really fun.

All the people I made friends with. I have to realistically consider it’ll be difficult to gather everyone again, though I will be happy that if they haven’t changed (over the years).

Now, everyone, we have to go on our own roads. I wish everyone to be happy. Iya~ really, be happy. Youthful. Everyone, do your best ☆

On March 7th, I have graduated from High School.

Yo heroes, what is crackalackin’? I’ve been taking some time off from updating and added a couple more folk to the WordPress to see if we could get more news for ya. So… it’s slow goin’, but… well, we’ll see. In the mean time Igadevil has unearthed the new Ranger Strike expansion, Rider Strike! Like with Ranger Strike all your favorite and unfavorite heroes are rendered in truely mind blowing art. If you can read Japanese or are just that big a fan, you’ll be able to snag these up soon enough.

Now, if only they’d release these over in America…

Den-o’s fourth form’s been unveiled, but as a Souchaku Henshin figure. Pic courtesy of Thai-Toku.

Remember DiscoInferno posted a picture of Red Ranger and his new battliser in this site recently? The picture don’t have Mercury Ranger’s face. Well! There you go! The true face of Mercury Ranger! Right here! =) =)

So what do you guys think of him? Please discuss here.

Yes, that’s right. It’s up at Thai-Toku Koro site. Hope you guys enjoy to see the whole scans. On other hands, to all Kuuga fans, you guys might be very interesting to see the Adult Kamen Rider Kuuga Belt. Go check it out! Discuss here.

P.S. Many thanks to Thai-Toku for those scans.

Today we focus on Hidenori Tokuyama who was Sou Yaguruma (Zabee/Kick Hopper) in Kamen Rider Kabuto.

TRANSLATION NOTES de aru: Todoi (届い), according to my le dictionary means ” to reach “, so I took liberties to make sense of the phrase in English. He also says Nakakushii, which means to miss something. I took liberties in what he said when talking about remembering the ending to Dragon Quest. Ahhhhhhhhhhh … Hidenori… he writes as bad as Uchiyama. I dunno if he’s typoing or what but this entry was a bitch to translate. All this damned Japanese short hand.

Since he has no picture:

It all began with a website once called CNX and now is the bastion of justice known far and wide as TheXBridge. I was a HUGE fan of Toonami back in the day and the presentation it brought to bringing back old favorites like the Thundercats and Robotech in a way that had never been done before. These people actually knew and understood the material and what it was so fucking cool. Every video and bumper not only brought back shows like Ronin Warriors, Reboot, and Sailor Moon, but a presentation that this time wasn’t some generic train, but one that you could tell was from fans and for fans.

I immediately took to the internet and joined forces with Jeff Harris and his heroes of Toonami justice over at his website under the name JohnCrichton. That’s where I got my start for loving web communities and message boards. I learned how best to construct and create a feeling of kinship and camaraderie that led me to help out another Jeff that owned a pretty tiny site at the time called, Japan Hero. Thus its Access was eventually born.

Needing room to grow and leaving the Japan Hero to forge its own formidable path, eventually lead to my journey out into the cybernetic wild of the intertron to find a place where I might construct my own sprawling web-metropolis.

The first name I came up with was actually Karate Explosion Unlimited (…seriously), but was told that was stupid and eventually settled on Henshin Justice Unlimited. Thanks to heroes like DekaMaster, MarZeo, SC, Aarowned and countless others that deserve mention HJU is here and I couldn’t be more proud.

So here’s to the awesome block of action that basically started all for me. Happy Birthday, Toonami and keep on rockin.
