Kamen Rider Stronger Gets Full Blu-ray Treatment, Primal Season 3 Resurrects Spear With A Twist

Tokusatsu fans, get ready! The legendary Kamen Rider Stronger is finally making its complete Blu-ray debut. This monumental release brings all 39 episodes of the fifth Showa-era series to home media, presented in its original Japanese language with crisp English subtitles. It's a must-have for any collector of Shotaro Ishinomori's enduring superhero legacy.
The 1975 series plunges viewers into a world under threat from the sinister Black Satan. A young man, unwittingly transformed into a powerful cyborg by the evil organization, turns their own strength against them. He rises as Kamen Rider Stronger, battling ferocious Psyborg commandos with the help of his feisty ally, Tackle. Expect classic heroics and pulse-pounding action from this iconic chapter in Rider history.
Meanwhile, animation maestro Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack) is gearing up for Primal Season 3, and it's kicking off with a shocking twist. After his ultimate sacrifice in Season 2, protagonist Spear is resurrected in a new form—stripped of his memory and humanity. He’s left to roam a brutal, untamed world as a shadow of his former self. Faint echoes of his past will stir, leading toward an emotional, explosive reunion that promises to test the limits of survival. Tartakovsky’s signature artistry, backed by Scott Wills' acclaimed art direction and Tyler Bates' score, assures another visually stunning and viscerally thrilling experience.
“Primal Season 3 opens with a shocking twist that resurrects Spear in a new form—stripped of memory and humanity.”
Catzye Take
This is huge for tokusatsu collectors, finally getting a clean, subtitled release of a Showa-era classic. What's interesting with Primal is how Tartakovsky plans to bring Spear back; it suggests a bold new direction for the critically acclaimed series. Both are worth watching for fans of quality animation and Japanese action.
