MY ADAPTATIONS ("POWER RANGERS: KENDO WARRIORS"):
The Fateful War four-part series has come to a close. In October, Lumina will arrive, as well as the Orikami Spirit Powers.

Most of the upcoming episodes will be doubled up, since Shinkenjaa is a month or so ahead of PRKW...I would like to close the gap a bit.

SUPER SENTAI ("SAMURAI SENTAI SHINKENJAA"):
The Shinkenger now have DaiGoyou on their side, along with having to face Akumaro. This month, the heroes get the wild Ushi Origami, which will be able to stand up and form MouGyuDaiOh, and combine with the other mecha to form "MouGyuShinkenOh, " and SamuraiHaOh...one big, huge robot!!! And, DaiGoyou and DaiKaiOh will combine as well. Also, according to some recent scans, Jyuzo may be returning soon.

2010 RUMOR MILL:
The Rumor Mill is really churning!!! The current Super Sentai rumor is Tensou Sentai Goseijaa (Heavenly Clothing Task Force Five Star Ranger). The Goseiger's weapons will be dependent on cards. The series will start with Red, Blue, and Yellow to start with Green and Pink coming soon after. Their helmets will have shapes on them (ala Ohrenjaa)...Red will have a star, Blue will have a rectangle, Yellow will have a triangle, Green will have a "X," and Pink will have a circle.

The Goseijaa Story:
Twelve "Card Users" from another world come to Earth to invade it. However, five of them rebel against the others, instead deciding to save the Earth. Now, the five ranger Sentai must compete against the others to collect the fifty-two cards-of-magic scattered about the Earth.

More information can be found on Dukemon22's Tokusatsu Insider blog at: www.tokuinsider.blogspot.com.

Regardless if the Goseijaa title holds, I will adapt it. For the current rumor, I have decided to call it "Power Rangers: Geo," or "PRG" (due to the geometrical shapes on their visors), although the rumored storyline may be changed for American audiences. [Coming next on the blog will be a "press release" posted regarding PRG].

For the 2010 Power Ranger series, Disney WILL NOT be adapting Shinkenjaa...but, guess what??? It was announced that the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are returning to ABC Kids in January 2010. This will be a re-mastered series (complete with a cool new logo), and Bandai will be releasing toys (they look awesome!) to go along with the series. The press release can be found on Business Wire at: www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20091001006376&newsLang=en.
