    Episode 12: “Open Your Eyes to the Next Faiz” | Kamen Rider 555 (Faiz) Eps. 1-10

    After an overlong a year-and-a-half, Henshin Power V3’s long-promised coverage of Kamen Rider 555 (or Faiz) is finally here! While some of what Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Jake (“The Metal Don”), and Chris (“The Sentai Guy”) discuss is out-of-date, Chris and Nate’s newfound appreciation for this series isn’t. This Rider show is a surprisingly complex story in more ways than one, as you’ll hear throughout their discussion of the first ten episodes, especially in the thematic discussion. What makes 555 unique is all 50 episodes were written by the same man, who has connections to anime like the classic Death Note. A frequent butt of the joke is the infamous TOKU HD’s awkward or just plain bizarre subtitles (“I am a part-time job!”) for what is, believe it or not, an official release of the series. The wait is finally over! Let’s ride! Join us for our “This Week in Tokusatsu” livestreams on our YouTube channel! Contact: henshin.power.v3@gmail.com.

    Bonus Episode #11: “Tiga Meets McFarlane” | Dark Horse’s Ultraman Tiga Manga #5-#10 (Past Sins, Future Dangers)

    Strap in for part two of Nathan’s coverage of Dark Horse Comics’ 2003 Ultraman Tiga manga, because “The TsuBro” goes on a pair of “Rantmasters”! This comic started off strong but quickly derailed into Todd McFarlane-fueled madness. There’s an alien villain from the TV series who’s radically re-imagined as a bad clone of Clown/Violator from Spawn. And he’s suddenly replaced in the final issue by a new villain, Kyrieloid, who looks like he did in the show, but he’s otherwise nothing like him. But nothing—nothing—can prepare you for the out-of-pocket fourth wall break. Even Deadpool is confused. Time to dive into some esoteric Ultra insanity! New discussion episodes are coming!

    Bonus Episode #10: “Tiga Meets Liefeld” | Dark Horse’s Ultraman Tiga Manga #1-#4 (Return of the Warrior)

    As you we wait for Chris (aka “Sentai Guy”) to finish editing our Kamen Rider Faiz episodes, Nathan (aka “The TsuBro”) discusses a bit of “Ultra Obscura”: a ten-issue Ultraman Tiga comic published by Dark Horse in 2003. While it looks like something they’d have produced themselves, it was actually made in Hong Kong in 1998 and then translated by Dark Horse. As Nathan explains, the comic starts off strong by adapting the premiere episode of the 1996 TV series, but it gets more divergent and bonkers as it goes. There’s a reason this comic has been forgotten by all but a small cult following. Part 2, which focuses on issues five to ten, drops next week. New discussion episodes are coming!

    Bonus Episode #8: HPV3 Goes to G-Fest XXX (livestream excerpt)

    In this excerpt from our latest Ultraman Omega livestream, we discuss our weekend at the epic G-Fest XXX in Rosemont, Illinois. This is probably the biggest kaiju convention in the world. It’s mainly focused on Godzilla, Kong, and Gamera and the like, but Tsuburaya Productions and Ultraman had strong presences there this year; their strongest ever. It was Chris’s first convention ever, and for the first time, all three of us met in person. We also met the (in)famous Saiyan Girl! Enjoy! Watch the UNCUT livestream here.
