Kamen Rider 2012 Rumors and Spoilers

The newest rumor for Kamen Rider in 2012 is Kamen Rider Xi, a ninja or samurai theme. Take all these rumors with a grain of salt, it can change. It all sounds legit to me, it seems they are going off the numeral gimmick of Double, OOO and Fourze. The gimmick with little robots (like how Hibiki had his discs, OOO had the soda can stuff and Fourze has the Foodroids) this time seems to be puzzles.

From TokuInsider:

The 2012 Kamen Rider, apparently pictured above, is to be known as "Kamen Rider Xi" or "Kamen Rider Saido". The name coming from both "Xi" and "Saido" meaning color saturation. His base color is pitch black. His throwing star-visor is transparent, showing the rider face through it. He also may have Shuriken weapons. 

-Kamen Rider Sai will have "PuzzleRoids" as his robot partners. The roids so far have a legendary beast motif (kitsune, genbu, houou).

Image Issues

I didn't know I couldn't post those images from TimeLife, I removed the post but wasn't able to delete the images. People have been hotlinking to it. I've ask some to remove them. I try to access Picasa Albums which is where the images of Blogger go to because Blogger and Picasa are both owned by Google. Google doesn't let me access Picasa. It's late and tomorrow I will try to remove the images.

Ethnicity Articles

updated 2/3/18

The following past posts talk about casts and the diverse ethnicity. The most diverse casts include Time Force, Wild Force and Samurai, the one that is less diverse is Jungle Fury. Jungle Fury only has one Asian of a team of five, while the rest are Caucasian. There has been no female African-American Ranger since Time Force. I think it has to do with the filming in New Zealand which makes it a narrow cast search and also, I think it has to do with the Asian stunt women matching the actresses. Teams that have no had no African-Americans have been Ninja Storm, Jungle Fury and Mystic Force. Teams lead by an African-American are Turbo, SPD and RPM. Casts without Latinos have been Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Jungle Fury and RPM. And Sixth Rangers have only been Caucasian, Latino, and Asian. We yet to have African-American Sixth Ranger, an Asian Red Ranger, and African-American Pink Ranger until Shelby of dino charge.
