Avataro Sentai Donbrothers Pre-Discussion Thread

Some more rumors. Again, get your salt grains out; these were posted separately:

-The core team involves 1 human + 3 suited characters for a total of 4 rangers to start. (Doesn't specify if this is a Zenkaiger situation or a Zyuohger situation)

-The motif is ninja + youkai. The main character will make shadow clones of himself, which his youkai teammates will possess as the different rangers. Unlike Zenkaiger where the suits are different from each other, the suits here all match, more or less.

Found these rumors on 5ch. Initially wasn't going to post them but with the reveal of Zenryoku ZenkaiOh being CGI, it is certainly worth considering. Please use your heaviest salt grains, and keep in mind that these were posted by separate users (or at least that's how it appears):

Rumor 1:
"Mecha Humans; Beast Men; CGI"


Rumor 2:
"I'm not sure what the motif is going to be, but it seems the robo battles next year will be CGI"

I am not buying into these rumors in any way just yet, but as I said, with the last 3 Zenkaiger robots in show being CGI, it does make you think. (To counter that point, 2 of the robots (the supers) in question were probably intended for just one use. Zenryoku itself is likely going to be limited in its uses, so building a suit for those 3 would have been a bit of a waste.

We received a hint on 5ch from a poster who got some things right in both the Zenkaiger and Revice spoiler threads there. I still caution a grain of salt here- both because even the best sources can make mistakes, and also because hints like this can be easily misinterpreted:

“CGI Black”

We’ve now had 3 separate rumors mention cgi, not to mention Shirakura’s comments on the Toei Zenkaiger site.

Here’s my 3 initial takes:

-Taking it literally, our Black Ranger is cgi

-Taking it metaphorically, the show will have a lot of cgi

-If the word black here is a pun, could be a reference to chromakeying. (Black in Japanese is kuro, kuro sounds like “chro” in chromakeying.)

Rumor time. Grain of salt please:

“Toy designs for next year are being described as avant-garde”

What does that mean? No clue. But the way Zenkaiger has shaken up the game, I don’t really see Bandai backpedaling at all. We could be in for some really different stuff.

Another rumor for your consideration. Grains of salt please. This one is from 5ch:

“As assumed, next year will start with 3”

Strap in kids. Big rumors from 5ch. Grains of salt at the ready:

-This morning, Bandai's intra-company catalog was updated with an image of next year's Red, and it seems like he will appear in Zenkaiger as a regular character from January

-The new red rides on a "bike mecha" and it can combine with Juran

-Sentai Gears will be "changed into a new form" and continue to be marketed

-ZenKaizer will also continue to be marketed

Some more rumors with some of the same info; again grain of salt, I don’t believe these personally, but it would be remiss of me not to share them, just in case:

-The Red for the New Sentai appears as a regular in Zenkaiger starting in January

-The New Red has a GearTlinger-like weapon that transforms into a Bike and a Robo-half. The other half of the robot is Juran.

-ZenKaizer and Juran appear on next year’s show as regulars

-Name of New Red isn’t shown, but he appears to have a Momotaro/Samurai motif

-The idea behind this is to create a “feeling of transition” from the old show to the new

Again, Grain of Salt.

Well, even more rumors. The ones I posted before and these are being claimed to be from the toy leaker, but as they had to change their IP address, it's hard to verify, and I do advertise caution and your usual grain of salt:

-New Red, as part of his Momotaro motif, has a visor/goggles that are shaped like a Peach leaf, and he has a top-knot on his helmet. There's no info on anyone but Red for the moment.

-The teeth on the new Sentai Gears resemble those of the NinNin Shuriken.

-This New Sentai starts in March, as per the last couple of years

More rumors from the (alleged) toy leaker; grains of salt:

-New Red’s bike resembles Kamen Rider Black’s Road Sector, but with giant “wind guards” at the front that extend the size.

-The face of the Bike/Juran Robo resembles Great Icarus.

-Red’s gun/bike comes with one of the new Sentai Gears, but it is unknown if it can read the gears. It does seem to be his henshin item, however. (Just that the method of reading gears is unclear.)

-Change Heroes will continue, there will at least be one of the new Red

-In the illustration included of the new Red, his suit seems to have armored parts, like ZenKaizer.

Rumored Toy List:

Please take with a grain of salt. A toy list was just posted in Chinese with the heading Kikai Sentai/Bakutaro Sentai:

Releasing in February:

-Bakutaro Bike Mecha
-Kikai Sentai/Bakutaro Sentai Red Hero Change Heroes Figure

Releasing in March:
-Bakutaro Bike Mecha and ZenkaiJuran Set
-Kikai Sentai/Bakutaro Sentai Metal Append 1 ZenkaiOh JuraGaon

Again, grain of salt.

Well, bring your salt grains. Going back in the history of the 2chan image board, there was a poster who posted the name “Bakutaro Sentai”/Avataro Sentai early.

With it, they listed the following rangers:

2 human rangers. The rest cgi.

MomoBrother- Red
OniSister- Yellow

Pheasant, Monkey, Dog are cgi.

Again, grain of salt.
