2012 Film Unites 200 Super Sentai/Rangers & 40 Kamen Riders
posted on by Egan Loo
Next spring, the tentatively titled Super Hero Taisen (Super Hero War) film will assemble about 200 heroes — from every team in the live-action special-effects Super Sentai Toei will release the film during the Golden Week holidays next year.
There have been about 200 Super Sentai heroes from the original 1975-1977 Himitsu Sentai Goranger to next year's Tokumei Sentai Gobusters. (The various Super Sentai projects are the source material for the Power Rangers franchise internationally.) Likewise, there have been about 40 Kamen Riders from the first Kamen Rider series in 1971 to the ongoing Kamen Rider Fourze series.
This past summer, the Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199-Hero Daikessen (pictured above) united all the Kamen Riders to date with other live-action heroes.
