Mashin Sentai Kiramager

Mashin Sentai Kiramager (キラメイジャー) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series. It is the 44th entry of Toei's long-running Super Sentai series and the first season exclusively in the Reiwa era (Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger started in the Heisei era and went through the transition.). Kiramager's main motifs are genies, gemstones, and vehicles. It is the fourth vehicle-themed Super Sentai following Engine Sentai Go-onger, the second magic-themed Super Sentai following Mahou Sentai Magiranger, as well as the first to utilize the motif of genies.

The show premiered on March 8, 2020,  joining Kamen Rider Zero-One, and later, Kamen Rider Saber in the Super Hero Time line-up on TV Asahi affiliate stations.

Story
A magical alien princess named Mabushina from the planet Crystalia seeks refuge on Earth with the Kiramai Stones to find individuals with strong "shining spirits", otherwise known as Kiramental (キラメンタル), to become the Kiramagers and fight off the threat of Yodonheim, an imperial army of darkness that conquered her homeworld and now plans to invade Earth.

Production
Mashin Sentai Kiramager was trademarked in September and officially announced on Christmas Day, 2019. The main cast was officially revealed on January 16, 2020.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
On March 31, 2020, a press conference held by TV Asahi revealed that Rio Komiya, the actor playing Juru Atsuta, had tested positive for COVID-19. The production of Mashin Sentai Kiramager had stopped since the previous week. However, Toei announced that they had episodes filmed until May.

News also came out that Toei Studios shut down for disinfection in response. However, on April 3, Toei released a statement saying it was false, calling it misinformation. As of April 5, Komiya's health was improving and all of the series' staff, cast, and the veteran Super Sentai actors and actresses who supported his recovery were waiting for his speedy recovery and return to the set so they could continue filming. On April 9, Komiya had announced via his Twitter that he was officially discharged from the hospital, however, he would still remain in self-quarantine at home for at least two weeks.

The show was eventually put on hiatus after the airing of Episode 10 on May 10, with four specials and a televised version of Episode Zero airing in its place. With the state of emergency lifted on May 26, Toei resumed filming of the show on June 1, with Episode 11 airing on June 21. In regards to the summer movie, it has been postponed alongside the Kamen Rider Zero-One movie. .

Episode Zero
A month before the premiere of the television series, Mashin Sentai Kiramager Episode Zero (魔進戦隊キラメイジャー エピソードZERO) was released as a prequel movie in Japanese theaters on February 8, 2020 as part of Super Sentai Movie Party (スーパー戦隊MOVIEパーティー). The movie was double billed with Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger VS Lupinranger VS Patranger the Movie, which featured a crossover between Ryusoulger and Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. As the events of the film take place before the first episode of the series, the plot of the film mainly focuses on Mabushina's exodus to Earth and scouting people with Kiramental who can help her fend off the Yodonheim assassins sent after her. During the show's hiatus, an edited version of Episode Zero was aired on television on May 17, 2020 in lieu of a new episode.

Summer film
Mashin Sentai Kiramager the Movie (魔進戦隊キラメイジャー THE MOVIE) was scheduled for release in Japanese theaters on July 23, 2020, double billed with the film for Kamen Rider Zero-One. However, both were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
