Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger

Taiya Hando is a courier who befriends an alien machine life form named Bundorio Bunderas, helping him develop equipment for an important intergalactic race known as the "Big Bang Grand Prix". Enlisting freelance spy Ishiro Meita and supplier Genba Bureki, Taiya and Bundorio establish the Boonboomgers and moonlight as a high-stakes freelance delivery service. But when Earth is invaded by a criminal group known as the Hashiriyan, Taiya recruits two new members: Mira Shifuto, a girl who becomes involved with them after they rescue her from an unwanted marriage, and Jyo Akuse, a police officer who serves as the group's liaison with the authorities, most notably Shirabe Saibu, member of the International Space Agency (ISA) who becomes their main contact. The assembled Boonboomgers balance their lives between accomplishing missions from various clients and fighting off the Hashiriyan, later gaining the assistance of the interstellar traveler Sakito Homura and his alien companion, Byun Diesel, and the occasional help from members of other Super Sentai. The series is divided into four arcs called "Laps", true to its racing car theme. • 1st Lap (Episodes 1–9): It introduces the main characters and the Sanseaters, a group of low-ranked Hashiriyan. After successive failures, the Sanseaters are assisted by their leader Team Captain Madrex, who develops an obsession with defeating Taiya but ends up getting destroyed by the Boonboomgers instead. • 2nd Lap (Episodes 10–25): Cannonborg, another team leader, is dispatched to Earth to help the Sanseaters against the Boonboomgers, using his ability to upgrade the monsters created by them and even create his own, evil version of the Boonboomgers' giant robot. After a short meeting with Sōsuke Esumi of the Go-ongers and his Engine partners, the Boonboomgers gain inspiration to develop additional mecha to their arsenal. Meanwhile, Sakito Homura and Byun Diesel arrive on Earth to make a delivery to Cannonborg and meet the Boonboomgers, eventually joining the team and together, they foil Cannonborg's plans and destroy him. • 3rd Lap (Episodes 26–35): Following Madrex and Cannonborg's failures, the Hashiriyans send another captain, Disrace, who restores Madrex as his brainwashed minion. The other Boonboomgers learn that Genba is an alien whose planet was taken over by Disrace and Genba decides to leave the team to not involve the others in his revenge. Genba confronts Disrace by himself and is defeated, but is encouraged by Akira Nijino of the ToQgers to rely on his friends again and rejoin the Boonboomgers. Together, they defeat Madrex and free him from Disrace's control, but Madrex ends up dying again because of Disrace's modifications in his body. Disrace discovers that Bundorio was once a Hashiriyan and attempts to use this info to seed distrust among the team, which backfires once Bundorio reveals that he was deceived into joining by their leader, Waruido Spindo, before he learned all the truth about the organization and fled, faking his death after setting a trap that led to Spindo being arrested. Together, the Boonboomgers help Genba enact his revenge and destroy Disrace using the Champion Carrier, a massive trailer developed upon inspiration from the ToQgers' Ressha. • Final Lap (Episodes 36–48): Having learned that Bundorio is still alive, Waruido Spindo arrives on Earth alongside his right-hand man, Grantu Risk, in order to get revenge on Bundorio for his imprisonment. The Hashiriyans strike a deal with ISA's director Eiichiro Tokoyari and businessman Raita Naito, who is also Taiya's mentor, offering them control over Earth in exchange for their loyalty, and turning the authorities and public opinion against the Boonboomgers. Spindo mortally wounds Bundorio but thanks to a hint from Nicola Keydoor, a friend and princess from Planet Trickle who delivers them a message through Joe Gibken of the Gokaigers, they devise a plan to bring Bundorio back to life, while the Sanseaters get fed up of Spindo's treacherous ways and desert from the group. The Boonboomgers fake surrendering to the Hashiriyans and take the opportunity to lay a trap for Spindo. With help from the energy of the crowd supporting the Boonboomgers, Bundorio revives and defeats Spindo with Taiya's help, while Naito and Tokoyari are arrested. Afterwards, Shirabe assumes Tokoyari's place as head of ISA and Sakito stays behind with Byun to protect the Earth while Bundorio and the rest of the team depart to space and help liberate the planets under Hashiriyan rule before setting to realize their dream of participating in the BBG. ==Production==
