Tomica Hero Rescue Force - Series Summary

Post by KrimzonKaiser »

あらすじ:
常識を超えた災害、超災害に立ち向かうため、世界消防庁は、特別救助部隊を結成した。
(Jōshiki wo koeta saigai, chō-saigai ni tachi-mukau tame, Sekai Shōbōchō wa, tokubetsu kyūjo butai wo kesseishita.)
その名は「レスキューフォース」。
(Sono na wa [Resukyū Foosu])
今日も彼らは命がけで人々を救い続ける。
(Kyō mo kare-ra wa inochi-gake de hitobito wo sukui-tsuzukeru.)
「セイブ・ザ・ライフ」レスキューフォースよ、超災害を爆裂的に鎮圧せよ!
([Save The Life] Resukyū Fōsu yo, chō-saigai wo bakuretsu-teki ni chinatsu seyo!)

Story:
"To counter extreme disasters, disasters that surpass common knowledge...
the United Fire-Defence Agency set up a special rescue team. Their name is Rescue Force.
Even today, they continue to risk their lives to save others.
Save The Life!! Rescue Force, explosively suppress the extreme disasters!!"

Image

Tomica Hero Rescue Force is a tokusatsu production based on the company Tomy's Tomica toy line. This series is Tomy's second involvement in Tokusatsu, their first one being Madan Senki Ryukendo in 2006 (the same writing staff and director are behind this series, as well).

General Information: The Rescue Force are an elite team of rescue workers, formed by the United Fire-Defence Agency (世界消防庁, Sekai Shōbōchō) to combat natural disasters of extreme nature. Each of them are specialists in certain fields of activity necessary to provide rescue work to their greatest ability. They are trained solely for rescue work, not to battle a direct evil.

Image

The Members of Rescue Force:
Image
-Todoroki Hikaru (轟 輝) - the newest addition to the team and holder of the title R1. He was quickly put into the team for his proficiency in piloting the heavy-duty vehicles. He seeks to learn all he can in order to be recognized by his fellow teammates for his abilities. Played by Izuka Kenta (猪塚健太).

Image
-Jinrai Kyousuke (陣雷響助) - holder of the title R2. Along with Rei and Juri, Kyousuke seems to have been in the Rescue Force for quite some time. He is the level-headed type who keeps cool even under the most life-threatening situations. Played by Noguchi Seigo (野口征吾).

Image
-Kouzuki Rei (香月レイ) - holder of the title R3. Along with Kyousuke and Juri, Rei seems to have been in the Rescue Force for quite some time and holds a strong sense of duty. Her specialty is Martial Arts, assuring Hikaru that despite being solely a rescue team, they'll need Martial Arts when certain situations arise. Played by Haruno (はるの).

Image
-Shiraki Juri (白木寿里) - holder of the title R4. Along with Kyousuke and Rei, Juri seems to have been in the Rescue Force for quite some time. Her specialty is First-Aid and medical rescue. When certain missions get out of hand (or if she gets irritated enough), she calls out for "Fire Site's Super Power" (火事場のスーパーパワー, Kajiba no Sūpā Pawā), which aids her in combating anomalies in a disaster environment with herculean strength. Played by Hasegawa Emi (長谷川恵美).

Image
-Ishiguro Eiji (石黒鋭二) - the commanding leader of Rescue Force. He issues the orders to the group after receiving word of any disasters in need of suppression. Played by Iwanaga Hiroaki (岩永洋昭).
Spoiler
It is later revealed that Ishiguro was a member of the first generation Rescue Force as the black-armored R5. He rarely suits up nowadays as he becomes a totally different person on the field, becoming extremely overzealous and rash in the face of disaster, in turn affecting his performance.


Image
-Nanbu Natsuno (南部奈津乃) - the Supreme Commander (総司令, Sōshirei) of the United Fire-Defence Agency. She relays mobilization orders to Ishiguro upon confirming the occurrence of disasters and other suspicious activities. Played by Hayami Yuu (早見 優)

Neo Thera
Neo Thera (ネオテーラ, Neo Tēra) is an evil organization set upon causing extreme disasters. Their calamities are caused with the help of disaster-generating devices called Crisis Makers (クライシスメーカー, Kuraishisu Mēkā). Each Crisis Maker shown produces a unique kind of disaster and each one shown so far has had instructional manuals included.
Spoiler
Eventually, new devices called Terra Resetters (テラリセッター, Tera Risettā) make their appearance after the initial defeat of the Three Great Executives. These devices spread massive that reforms a chosen target area into a total desert. Its residual waves also cause gradual damage to the Rescue Force's suits.


The Three Great Executives (三大幹部, San Dai Kanbu)
Image
-Maaru (マール, Māru), a feminine android. She seems to be the leader of the group, ordering the other two to engage in activity.
Spoiler
After her initial defeat at the hands of the Rescue Force, she was reconstructed and upgraded into New Maaru (ニューマール), now able to assume a battle-ready body.


Image
-Saan (サーン, Sān), an intellectual-type android.
Spoiler
After his initial defeat at the hands of the Rescue Force, he was reconstructed and upgraded into New Saan (ニューサーン), now able to assume a battle-ready body equipped with twin daggers.


Image
-Shiika (シーカ, Shīka), a short, stocky Power Fighter-type android.
Spoiler
After his initial defeat at the hands of the Rescue Force, he was reconstructed and upgraded into New Shiika (ニューシーカ), now able to assume a battle-ready body equipped with knuckle weapons.


Image
-Axt (アクスト, Akusuto) are mass-produced footsoldier androids created by Saan, sent into calamity sites to engage the Rescue Force team in combat, prolonging calamities in the process.
Spoiler
After Daen's debut, the Axt, as well as the Three Great Executives, were reconstructed and upgraded into New Shiika (ニューアクスト), their bodies now possessing extra armor.



The three are all voiced by the Japanese comedy trio, Yasuda Dai Circus (安田大サーカス). Maaru is voiced by Kuro-chan (クロちゃん), Saan is voiced by Dancho (団長), and Shiika is voiced by HIRO.

Spoiler
-Daaen is the leader of Neo Thera.



Guests
Episode 2 - Kimura Waka (木村 和可)
Episode 3 - Fukunaga China (福永 ちな) as Hatake Kaoru (畑 かおる)

(will expand along the way)

This isn't a thread to diss the series. :p
Besides, give it a chance, I didn't think I'd like it at first, but after takenoko conned asked me to QC it, I decided it was pretty good after all. The suits have grown on me already and so I like them too.

hehehe... just shows how out of the loop I am. When I saw the Rescue Ranger pics on the main page, I thought there was some sort of Japanese version of Chip 'n Dale.

*sigh* Now I miss Gummy Bears :lol:

I'm enjoying it, Rescue Force is a nice lighthearted series.... not taking itself to seriously, it's nice to see not all Toku shows have to rely on angst heavy characters & plotlines

Added info on Neo Thera, Juri's little "Super Power" tidbit.

Anyone out there liking how I've set things up so far?

It's pretty good, thanks Kaiser

Couple things:

United Fire-Defence Agency (世界消防庁, Sekai Shōbōchō

Huh, did they change the acronym? I was still using the one from the preview

Neo Thera (ネオテーラ

I looked up Thera, and I can see how that might be it. But wouldn't it make more sense that this is just Neo Terror?
