Kamen Rider and General Tokusatsu

"Case 15: Lighten": Not as many answers were revealed as I hoped, but it ended up where I expected: Baku realizing/deciding that "Eliminate the enemy" doesn't refer to Nox/Odaka, who's now clearly a more ambiguous figure. Although I'm starting to wonder if Odaka and Nox are two different characters who are joined somehow, given that we saw Odaka awake in the real world, wearing white, and then saw Nox in a dream world shortly thereafter, wearing all black like the new antagonist, The Lady (whereas the Nox we see in the dreams is wearing black and white).

This is the first time Nem hasn't had a clearly defined dream role she was cast in. I'm pretty sure her outfit here is the same one she wears in the titles in that shot where she and Nox are on opposite sides of a door and she's looking pensive.

I was distracted by the humidifier prop in the room where Odaka was sleeping. It was turned up full blast so that the vapor was sinking down around it, which, according to my own humidifier's instructions, would render it completely useless, because the mist just sinks around the device instead of dispersing into the air. I noticed the same thing in an episode of The Expanse, in the office of Detective Miller's boss on Ceres. I guess they do it because it looks better on camera, but it bugs me. I always have to take care with my own humidifier to adjust the output level to make sure the vapor isn't sinking back down, so I can't help but notice it.

Zeztz is taking next week off for the holidays, so the next episode is in 2 weeks.
 
End of the first arc.

We return in two weeks starting the new arc. Three rival agents who are using repaints of Nox Knights suit(which had a short run) and Kamen Rider Nox debuting after we return

With the lady in black we will add four new characters to the next arc.

I just hope Minami doesn't get pushed off to the side and Nasuka breaks out of her Scully role.

So we have 0,3,4,5,6,7 agents

Who's number one? (Hoeru- HEY! I'm number one!) and who's number 2?

We have known about those three for awhile since 6 is apparently going to be played by Papillon Ohger's face actress since one of the assistant producers for Zeztz worked on Kingohger and developed the idea of Moffun too.

Oh, yes, I remember reading that Yuzuki Hirakawa would be in the show.
 
It's scans time! Early low res scans at this time till high-res ones get posted. Gavan Infinity portion


Gavan infinity uses the weapon Gavarion trigger
Gavan Bushido uses Gavan Blade
Gavan Luminance uses Gavarion Blade & Gavarion Scissors

All of them transform using an item called Emolgear

The collectible are batteries called Emolgear. They have special energy in them ( Emotion + Gear) activated by emotions

The Robo is Cosmos Gavarion GC-R

The emolgear are basically batteries powered by various emotional states (think the Emotional Spectrum from Green Lantern) that allows them to tranform into Gavan. Transformation phrase is still: jochaku.
Infinity - powered by rage energy (Gekifun Emolgy)
Bushido - powered by sorrow energy (Hisou Emolgy)
Luminous - powered by joy energy (Genki Emolgy)

There's another Gavan according to toy listings (Gavan Death)

These Gavans might be from different universes: the theme of the show is apparently exploring the multiverse.
Infinity - from the Earth Branch of the Galactic Union Police
Bushido - from the Special Forces Branch of the Galactic Union Police
-dual wields the Gavarion blade according to the scans
Luminious - from the Forensics Branch of the Galactic Union Police
-excels in deduction, investigation, and analysis.
-wields Gavarion Laser

“Keyword is: Multiverse Patrol”

The press release emphasizes how they are not a team but Gavans from different dimensions and the key is the Cosmo Gavarion.

The Enemies also will use the Emolgi instead of the Emolgears to commit crimes using dark emotions.

Boomboongers writer is the main writer here.
 
I'd been hoping one of the Gavans might be female, but it doesn't look that way.

I wonder if Gavan Luminous is related to Shiny Luminous...

Boomboongers writer is the main writer here.

That's good to know. Director Fukuzawa is an action director and suit actor (playing most of the Red Rangers from 2001-2012); does that credit mean he's graduating to full director status? As for the composers, Nara is new to toku, but Sonoda has worked as an arranger on various Sentai songs over the past few years.

Gavan Luminous is strongly hinted to be female given how agile they appear

From all the Mecha/Ships being shown, there might be more Color Coded Gavan's, so don't give up on a Female Gavan Christopher.
This wouldn't be the first time in a Sentai-esque history that a Sentai-like show started with only 3 colors available on launch with more to follow.

Yes, but I'd rather have a female lead in the core group from the start instead of added later.

Though of course, there have always been non-armored female leads in these shows, sometimes quite impressive ones. One of my favorite Metal Heroes characters was Annie from Space Sheriff Shaider, who fought as an equal alongside Shaider and was about as effective a warrior in her street clothes as Shaider was in his high-tech armor. (She also had an awesome character song, though Naomi Morinaga wasn't as good a singer as she was an actress and stuntwoman.)
 
Some more terminology from the first press release. Crossing the dimensions is called a D-Jump, and the Emolgie are a lifeform that reacts to human emotions and stored inside the Emolgear. The Gavans are fighting against criminals who are abusing this power. The Gochizo comparisons are pretty spot on, because making them creepy-cute creature things is the Gochizo, except Gavan isn't the one producing them.

I was thinking it reminded me of the Nightmare Zeztzes inside the Capsems.
 
Wow. They ARE going there.
