As the Kamen Rider franchise nears the end of its current series Gavv, Toei and Ishimori Productions already wants fans to think ahead. On Saturday, the company unveiled a first look at the tokusatsu giant’s next installment, Kamen Rider Zeztz.
Per the logline, the show is set “in a world shaped by the dreams we see in our sleep.” The titular Zeztz “enters people’s dreams as an agent on a mission” to “bring a bold new form to the battle.” While we don’t see any Inception-style antics in the preview, it’s got some good vibes as it shows Zeztz mounting his motorcycle, punching the air, and generally looking cool as hell in his new suit. The belt fashioned into a sling bag is nice, ditto the lines on his suit changing colors and making him stand out in the darkness.
Kamen Rider Zeztz begins airing in sometime in September after Gavv’s finale on August 31. Unlike its predecessors, this new show will also air in the United States, along with other territories like Canada, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and the MENA region. Previously, western fans had a few means of watching Kamen seasons: legally, they could hope Toei would put a series’ first episode on YouTube again, or for full seasons to hit Pluto TV’s TokuSHOUTsu channel after their initial air date in Japan.
More details on Kamen Rider Zeztz is coming “soon.”
