So, I’ve known for a while that Team Wang is pretty farkin’ proud of the trailer they put together for their show and for good reason. Higher ups were holding back, but Team Wang wanted the fans to see what’s in store for them.

So, here I am, putting down Phoenix Wright 3 and checking my email when I get from a certain Musashi fan in Japan that the trailer is already up and live in Japan! I contacted Steve Wang to let him know and it looks like their man in Japan came through. With the floodgates opened but a crack….. we were given the go to make the Full Kamen Rider Dragon Knight Trailer available to the heroes of Henshin Justice Unlimited!

Take a bow, heroes……. we get it first! Click, enjoy, tell a friend, and remember………..

“Together… we’ll be stronger.” Len, Kamen Rider Wing Knight

I don’t see this dethroning Power Rangers… but one thing’s for sure, the bar has been raised on American Tokusatsu, and the Rangers are no longer the only game in town. There’s a new Rider on the block.

For Great Justice,
Keith

This Week:
Two years ago, a hot blooded youth from the future and his Cyber Assistant started a Japanese Pop Culture podcast that has since evolved into a Giant Flaming Katamari of Epic Chaos ™. This week, Mike, Sylene, and Mai celebrate 50 episodes of the continued run of the GFKoEC that is R5 Central with this Mega Episode to shatter the heavens. So massive, in fact, that it has to be split up into THREE episodes!

Featured in this portion: Short but sweet segments featuring Mike and Card Captor Will going on about Kamen Rider Den-O and later Sylene with the first four episodes of Kamen Rider Kiva. Also, the long-awaited Well Wish Montage, the Pick of the Week…and a quick glimpse at the future after the credits that you can’t afford to miss!

Keith Justice Says: “Hey folks! If you’re new to the site and all the kickassery around here, but sure to check out parts A and B of R5 Central after the jump! And you’ll catch a brief promo of HJU/R5’s interview with Matt Mullins who plays Kamen Rider Wing Knight and the first part of our interview with Mark Musashi at the end of Part C. See you there!
