Naoto Takizawa

Naoto Takizawa (滝沢 直人, Takizawa Naoto) is a 28 year old rival and leader of the City Guardians established by the Asami Corporation.

Biography
Unlike Tatsuya Asami, Naoto came from the other side of the tracks, getting by on a scholarship as the two of them attended prep school. Naoto envied Tatsuya and wanted to be the best of the two. After becoming TimeFire the Asami group attempted to analyze the technology for mass production, but could not fully understand the 30th century Technology. Later he found out through Sion that the Londerz monsters are just prisoners and only need to be recaptured.

In Episode 37, he learned that the Timerangers came from the 30th century, and because of his desire for power he chose to find a way to use his new knowledge of the Timerangers to his advantage. Near the finale, after Chairman Wataru Asami was hospitalized in a previous episode, Naoto was able to use that knowledge to gain full control of the City Guardians. Naoto also owned two pet birds, Tora and Sakura, which he later gives to a little girl.

In the finale, after Naoto was injured during the battle against NeoCrisis he learned Wataru Asami was able to regain control of the City Guardians through a legal maneuver. Naoto was kicked out of the City Guardians and fled because the City Guardians tried to take the V-Commander when they revealed that they were able to remove the Voice Lock function. In the end Naoto was shot from a Zenitt's bullet, knocking him from a high-story of a building all the way to the ground but handed over the V-Commander to Tatsuya just before dying from his bullet wound.

Years later, TimeFire somehow returned and fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Zgormin commanders. Kaijou noticed the fleet moving towards them, he gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. Given Naoto's death, this could possibly a successor.

Naoto's spirit later appeared to Gai Ikari about his becoming GokaiSilver, along with Burai and Mikoto Nakadai.



Design
TimeFire's helmet is distinguishable from TimeRed's by the jagged arrow. The suit's accents are black, unlike the Timerangers' white accents.
