Bakuryū Sentai Abaranger

Bakuryuu Sentai Abarenjaa (爆竜戦隊アバレンジャー translating as, Blastasaurus Squadron Outburst Ranger) was Toei Company Limited's 27th production of the Super Sentai television series. Its footage was used in the American Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. The name Abaranger is a combination of Abare (an acronym that stands for Attack Bandit Resistance , in Japanese the term "Abare" also means "Berserk" or "Outburst" among other translations) and ranger, so the romanization can be either Abaranger or Abarenger.

Plot

Scientists believe that 65,000,000 years ago, a meteorite's crash on Earth killed off the dinosaurs, but in truth, it split Earth into two parallel universes: The Earth we know and an Earth where dinosaurs were still the superior species (Dino Earth), eventually evolving into the Bakuryuu (Blast Dragon) race. The two Earths were separated until Asuka, AbareBlack, arrived on Earth via a transdimensional portal. But he was followed by evil Evorians in the spaceship Anamolicarus and the three Bakuryuu under their control. As Bakuryuu Tyrannosaur attacked Tokyo, a call was sent out to three destined ones who possessed Dino Guts to gain the powers to tame the three beasts. Together with their Bakuryuu partners, the three become Abarangers to protect their dimension from the Evorians.

Characters

AbaRangers

When they evoke their "Dino GUTS", The AbaRangers tap into the power of their dinosaur partners, obtaining their strength and power as their own.

• Ryouga Hakua/Abared: The optimistic team leader, a certified environmental protection investigator from the United States. Though he's overly confident, he has an extremely good nature and is friendly, warm hearted, and loving; he doesn't hate anyone. He was given guardianship of Mai after his brother and sister-in-law passed away and does his best to raise her. His Bakuryuu partner is Tyranno. He eventally gained the power to become AbareMax.

• Yukito Sanjyou/AbareBlue: A charismatic chiropractor, he'll help with any kind of injury but charge outrageously high prices for it. He seems cold, but has a kind heart underneath. He despises his father for paying off the parents of a girl he was in love with. His Bakuryuu partner is Kera.

• Ranru Itsuki/AbareYellow: A technology mistress who owns a German BD-1 motorcycle she nicknamed "Birdie". All she really wants is peace. Formerly was trained to be an idol, but hated it. Her Bakuryuu partner is Ptera.

• Asuka/AbareBlack: A warrior from DinoEarth with a sad past. He was the last of people to fight the Evoliens and escaped to Earth. His Bakuyuu partner is Brachio.

• Mikoto Nakadai/AbareKiller: A lunatic doctor who was observing the AbaRangers from the time the Bakuryuu first appeared. He gained the DinoMinder and with it the Zerogo suit, which was due to self-destruct sometime soon. He didn't seem to care that he would die, taking the entire city with him. He fought the AbaRangers & his Bakuryuu partner is TopGaler. After fighting the Killer Giganoid with the AbaRanger, after TopGaler betrayed him, he joined the team, even if it cost him his life. When Dino Minder began to self-destruct, he and TopGaler flew away from Earth and died in the explosion. He returned for a short time to help the Aba & DekaRanger in "Dekaranger vs. Abaranger" and vanished again after the enemy was defeated. As he vanished, he told Asuka to give Kasumi/Rije his regards.

Allies

• Emiri Imanaka: Imanaka is a high school student. When the Bakuryuu first came to earth, Imanaka heard their call and almost became AbareYellow. Unfortunately, her body was unable to support the transformation. She tries her hardest to become an Abaranger...she eventually does in terms of AbarePink...err...AbarePig.

• Ryunnosuke Sugishita: Sugishita runs a curry restaurant: DinoHouse, which is the Abarangers' base of operations. When the Bakuryuu first came to earth, Sugishita heard their call and almost became AbareBlue. Unfortunately, his body was unable to support the transformation.

• Mai Hakua: Ryouga's brother and sister-in-law passed away, leaving behind their daughter and Ryouga's niece, Mai. Starting at the end of ep. 39, Kasumi chooses Mai to be the only one to see her. In ep. 41, a virus transforms human people into Barmia and Mai was infected as well. Kasumi warns the Abaranger that the Barmia around are Mai's friends.

• Princess Freesia: Appears in the Abaranger Movie. When the gang are having a fun summer party at the beach, she appears in front of Ryouga and HanaBinkiVenus litterally drops from the sky to capture her. There is a great myth through the Ryuujin in DinoEarth that a princess guards the two evil Bakuryuu on an arctic island. Asuka was surprised that the legend he grew up with was true. The Bakulaser had been broken in half. The other piece was excavated by humans and put in a museum. Ryouga and Freesia sneak in and steal it. He uses his Dino GUTS to merge it together. Turns out she really was Garuvuidei in disguise and used the fully formed Bakulaser to call upon the Bakuryuu. The real Freesia was inside of the Bakulaser and wasn't able to come out. She also expressed affection for Ryouga. She commended the Abaranger for their battle good and went off with the Bakulaser.

• Ninpu Sentai Hurricanger: Meet up in the Abaranger vs. Hurricanger special to fight the Space Ninja JaniIga.

• Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger: Meet up in the Dekaranger vs. Abaranger special to fight a Alienizer attemption to revive the Evoliens' leader.

Bakuryuu (Blast Dragons)

Giant Beasts from DinoEarth that evolved from the dinosaurs, they had a mutual friendship with the Ryuujin (Dragon people of Dino Earth) until the Evorians attacked. While most of the Bakuryuu eggs were sent to Earth, Tyranno, Kera and Ptera fell under the Evorian's control. Sent to Earth, the three went on a path of destruction until their partners freed them.

• Bracchio: A wise and calm Brachiosaurus who hates fighting. Bracchio was the only one of the first that was immune to the Evorians' control due to being already partnered to Asuka. He resides at the bottom of Tokyo Bay and holds the other Bakuryuu inside his body until they are needed. He recites rousing poetic speeches when heading into battle. There's some indication he may be the eldest and wisest of the Bakuryuu.

• KillerAbarenoh: Created when Abarenoh combines with TopGaler and Stego in order to defeat Bakurenoh. This combination appeared again in "Dekaranger vs. Abaranger", although it was without Stego that time.
  • Abarenoh: When Tyranno, Kera and combine, they form Abarenoh - a humanoid fighting machine. Abarenoh's finisher is a drill attack.
    • Tyranno: A Tyrannosaurus rex, the strongest of the three Bakuryuu. His jaws, strength and sharp claws make him a tough opponent, but his tail is his greatest weapon, able to drill through anything. Although wise, he has a short fuse when it comes to Ryouga.
    • Kera: A Triceratops, the armored one of the three Bakuryuu, Kera can take a great deal of punishment from an opponent; he seems strong enough to topple every building in downtown Japan. Kera seems a bit androgynous, and took on the form of a young bishounenish boy.
    • Ptera: A Pteranodon, the fastest of the three Bakuryuu, she can reach speeds of Mach 1.2 and higher, with her wings, beak, and shockwaves effective on any enemy. A kind and sweet Bakuryuu.
  • KillerOh: When TopGaler and Stego combine, they form KillerOh. KillerOh has the Death Stinger finisher.
    • TopGaler: A Quetzalcoatlus who was sealed for destroying a major DinoEarth city. He was found and released by AbareKiller, whom he partnered with. He often employs his great speed in battle, which has been clocked at an astounding Mach 20. His personality is a hardcore lone wolf like his master.
    • Stegosraidon: A Stegosaurus who could combine with Abarenoh to form AbarenoSraidon, serving as a surfboard. He was taken by AbareKiller until he was freed of its master's influence. His personality is almost similar to Ptera, but can be a dunce like Dime from time to time.

• MaxRyuuOh: When MaxOhja combines with PakikeroKnuckle, DimeNokodon, ParasauroloCutter and Ankyloveilus, they form MaxRyuuOh.
  • Styracosaurus & DinoCarry/MaxOhja: The DinoGuts of AbareMax awoke the Styracosaurus and the DinoCarry, which holds the RhamphoGolds axes & SpinoGold helmet. Styracosaurus can form a humanoid fighting robot - MaxOhja. Styracosaurus is also the only Bakuryuu on the show which does not speak (not including the two evil Bakuryuu from the "Abaranger Deluxe" movie) , but instead lets out dinosaur roars.
  • BakikeroNuggles: A Pachycephalosaurus who can combine with Abarenoh to form AbarenoKnuckles, with a boxing arm. His personality is quite kiddish.
  • DimeNokodon: A laidback Dimetrodon found in the Kansai district. It can combine with Abarenoh to form AbarenoNokodon, with a buzzsaw arm. He tends to be dopey now and then. He loves the music of Asuka's Dino Harp.
  • Parasaurolokikiru: A Parasaurolophus with a Spanish accent who can combine with Abarenoh to form AbarenoRokkiru, with a scissors arm. He was living in the Caribbean, where he end up learning to speak Spanish. In addition, he's an avid piano player. Some fans see him as the most "annoying" of the Bakuryuu.
  • Ankyloveilus: A petulant Ankylosaurus who can combine with Abarenoh to form AbarenoVeilus, forming a shield and blade arm. She seems to be a motherly type Bakuryuu. It's interesting to note, that when she first contacted the Abarangers, she started them on a wide goose chase saying she was in the city, beach and farm. She was only found by accident and preferred to live a quiet life, until Asuka convinced her otherwise.

• OoAbarenoh: Created when Abarenoh combines with Stego, TopGaler, and RhamphoGolds & SpinoGold.

• FireNokoDon: A CD-Exclusive Dimetrodon that hatched at Hawaii. It can combine with Abarenoh to form AbarenoNokodonFire, forming a buzzsaw arm.

Evoliens

The Wicked Fate Clan, they came from Dino Earth. They dwelled within a castle-like structure before Dezumzoria turned it into a giant cyclops-like host called DezumoGevirus to battle the Bakuryuu with while transferring itself into Geildon. The fortress was destroyed when the Abaranger's dinosaurs sacrificed themselves to destroy it.

• Dezumozorlya: The Evolien god, a parasitic enity that was held in the metorite that crashed to Earth. When Earth was split, Dezumorlya's essence was divided between the two earths, and took one being of each world as it's host and it's descendants. Some of his hosts have wreaked havoc throughout the course of human history. In the time of Abaranger, Mikoto held the essence of the inactive Earth-counterpart, and the Dezumozorlya of DinoEarth found a host in Rije. When he was purged from Rijewel, Dezumozorlya sought stronger hosts (including Mikela and Voffa) until he chose Geildon as his ideal vessel.

• Rije/Rijewel (1-47): She is Dezumozorlya's child-like metaron, responsible for linking the two worlds. She was originally the daughter of Asuka & Mahoro until the Dino-Earth Dezumozorlya entered Mahoro's body & made the preborn Kasumi its host. She was forcegrown into an adult, Rijewel, to tempt Mikoto to join her and later mutated into DezumoRijewel. Through the combined power of all five AbaRanger, Kasumi 'overpowered' Dezumozoria and Rijewel was restored to an infant once Dezumozoria was removed from her.

• Jeanne (1-32): She was originally a Dragonoid named Mahoro and was Asuka's love, but she was parasitized by the Evoliens. Because of her previous life, Jeanne had a fixation on killing Asuka. She eventally returned to normal, though Mahoro posed as her to help the Abaranger from the enemy camp until Dezumozorlya learned of her treachery (Note : Her official English name is "Jeanne" but fans and the Japanese version of the series call/pronounce her name as "Jannu").

• DezumoVoorla (47-48): The 3rd host of Dezumozoria created when Mikela and Voffa were merged into one being, though both were proud to hold Dezumozorlya's essence in them. DezumoVoorla was used to asborb the Earth-Dezumoria from AbareKiller's body and was killed by KillerOh.
  • Mikela (1-47): The one who creates the Torinoids. He is a painter and hates to make a creation when uninspired by his muse. He despises humans, their art and their culture. He and Voffa ended up being merged as one host for Dezumozorlya at the end of the series to form DezumoVoorla.
  • Voffa (1-47): He enlarges the Torinoids and creates the giant Giganoids from musical compositions from his harp. He doesn't like his music to be heard when his work isn't ready. He and Mikela ended up being merged as one host for Dezumozoria at the end of the series to form DezumoVoorla.

• Geildon: The first of the Evoliens to attack Earth, but was killed by Jeanne after failing in his mission. It would later turn out that it was a cursed suit of armor that bonded with Mahoro's older brother, Mizuho. Geildon was also worn by Asuka two times, who lost himself due to the cursed armor's power. By the finale, Geildon was transformed into Dezumogevarus, the final host of Dezumozorlya.

• Garuvuidei (Movie): An Evolien general who captured Princess Freesia and sought to revive the Bakuryuu that form Bakurenoh. Killed by AbaRed with the Bakulaser.

• Bakurenoh: CarnoRyutus & ChasmoSealdon combine to form Bakurenoh, the evil-counterpart of Abarenoh. It could use its sword to slice off Abarenoh's drill-arm and use it as its own. In the movie, it was defeated by KillerAbarenoh, but it returned to help DezumoVoorla to fight the Abarangers. Soon it was destroyed for good by Abarenoh and MaxOuja.
  • CarnoRyutus: A Carnotaurus, an evil Bakuryuu with the same attacks as Tyranno. (only seen in movie)
  • ChasmoSealdon: A Chasmosaurus, an evil Bakuryuu with the same attacks as Kera. (only seen in movie)
