[Tokusatsu] "Kamen Rider GAVV" Takes Over from "Kamen Rider Gotchard" at Special Event with Junsei Motoshima & Hidekazu Chinen
The double-feature film "Kamen Rider Gotchard The Future Daybreak" and "Super Up Team Boonjager The Movie: Promise the Circuit" is currently in theaters. As a special bonus for the second week, "Ride Chemie Trading Cards (THE SUMMER MOVIE 2024 Ver.II)" will be distributed in a limited edition of 150,000 packs nationwide.
"Kamen Rider Gotchard" (airing every Sunday at 9:00 AM on TV Asahi) tells the story of alchemists and the artificial lifeforms known as Chemies, created through alchemy. Kamen Rider Gotchard is tasked with "gotching" (collecting) the 101 Chemies that have been unleashed. Will a world where humans and Chemies live together peacefully come to be? The film features regular cast members Junsei Motoshima, Reiyo Matsumoto, Yasunari Fujibayashi, Oto Abe, Rikiya Tomizono, and Rikuto Kumaki, with DAIGO making a guest appearance as the future Hotaro. The outcome of this history-shaking event is revealed in theaters.
"Super Up Team Boonjager" (airing every Sunday at 9:30 AM on TV Asahi) is a super sentai team of expert drivers with highly positive attitudes. The team includes Daiya Handou/BunRed (the "Courier"), BunBlue (the "Informer"), BunPink (the "Driver"), BunBlack (the "Policeman"), BunOrange (the "Supplier"), and the newly added BunViolet (the "Cleaner"), all fighting to protect Earth's peace. The movie marks the film debut of the Boonjager team, with Yuto Iuchi, Yuki Hayama, Miu Suzuki, Ryu Saito, Satoru Soma, and Yu Miyazawa in key roles. Keep an eye on the Boonjager's first film performance.
The "Ride Chemie Trading Cards (THE SUMMER MOVIE 2024 Ver.II)" include three prestigious cards: "Shining Hopper 1," evolved when Kamen Rider Gotchard Shining Daybreak appears; "Kamen Rider Legend," whose card design changes after meeting Kamen Rider Decade Tsukasa Kadoya; and "Yaiyai Yalka," a beloved member of the villainous group Hashiriyan, voiced by Sumire Morohoshi. These exclusive cards will be distributed to the first 150,000 theatergoers starting on the 9th.
Additionally, on the 15th at Marunouchi TOEI, a special event titled "Celebrating the Film's Hit! Kamen Rider Gotchard & Kamen Rider GAVV Baton Touch Event" will be held. Junsei Motoshima (Kamen Rider Gotchard/Hotaro Ichinose) and Hidekazu Chinen (Kamen Rider GAVV/Shoma) will appear on stage. After a year of broadcasting, Kamen Rider Gotchard passes the baton to Kamen Rider GAVV, the first Reiwa-era Kamen Rider inspired by "sweets," set to premiere in September.
Alongside the event, scenes from Kamen Rider GAVV have been revealed. In a climactic battle across time, Shoma (Hidekazu Chinen) saves Kamen Rider Valbarad from peril. This film marks the debut of Kamen Rider GAVV's transformation and battles. The newly released images show Kamen Rider GAVV, with a gummy-powered juicy body, delivering a powerful kick to the Dread Trooper Ichishiki. The unique transformation belt featuring Gochizou and the novel form's color scheme suggest a different kind of strength from past Kamen Riders. Using the power of various sweets, Kamen Rider GAVV fights bravely. Look forward to the series premiere on September 1st, and be sure to catch this milestone film in theaters.
