This article is about a Ranger in Gekisou Sentai Carranger. |
- "Red Racer!"
- ―Red Racer's roll call[src]
Kyosuke Jinnai (陣内 恭介 Jinnai Kyōsuke) is Red Racer (レッドレーサー Reddo Rēsā), leader of the Carrangers.
History[]
Carranger[]
Kyosuke was a 23-year-old (38 in Gokaiger) test driver at the Pegasus auto garage, normally only assigned to do errands and odd jobs. Kyosuke is originally a selfish jerk, insensitive enough to abandon his team because he wants to drive his boss' classic car.
Soon, though, Kyosuke realized that he had a responsibility as the Carranger leader and became very conscientious, although the role of leader sometimes gets to him and he is overwhelmed by the stress of being responsible for the team. Though unofficially the leader of the team from the start, he ends up taking the job more seriously after VRV Master suggested him as the leader in a letter he wrote before leaving Earth. Prior to then, the Carrangers had previously assumed their alien allies such as him, Dappu or Signalman as more leaders than one of their own, yet with all of them gone or unavailable, Kyosuke was forced to take up responsibility himself to lead the team accordingly, even if he became way too overexcited and energized to fight with the burden on his shoulders.
He fell in love with Beauty Zonnette, although at first she only loves his Red Racer alter ego, and is eventually able to confess his love to her. He later becomes a very brave, heroic man who was willing to risk his life to fight as Kyosuke and not Red Racer to prove his love for Zonnette.
Megaranger vs. Carranger[]
to be added MOVIE STORY-Denji Sentai Megaranger vs. Carranger
Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai[]
Red Racer is among the Sentai warriors seen in clips when Yusuke Amamiya (Red Falcon) lectured Gaku Washio (GaoYellow) about the past Sentai sword experts, showing him that the true sword wasn't the sharpest, but the one that feeds on courage.
Led by his Liveman predecessor Red Falcon, Kyosuke appeared as one of 24 previous Red Warriors in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai together with fellow Red Rangers from his predecessors Akarenger to OhRed to his successors from MegaRed to TimeRed. MOVIE STORY-Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
Boukenger[]
Red Spirit[]
As the twentieth Red, Red Racer's Red Warrior Spirit was embodied by AkaRed. MOVIE STORY-GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai
Gokaiger[]
Legend War[]
Years later, Kyosuke 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. He was seen alongside Riki Honoo during the fighting. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger 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. The Red Racer powers are later used by Captain Marvelous via the Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Now More Road Safety[]
Sometime after the war, Kyosuke, now 38, dedicated his time to teaching children about the laws of road safety with improvised acting on his part, but to no avail. The children constantly ignored his lessons, often going off to other things. He eventually catches the eye of the Zangyack Empire when Barizorg discovers he was the man that interfered with Zaggai's mission. Insarn takes one look at Kyosuke and is immediately smitten by his looks. She enlists the help of Jealousto to capture the former Red Racer, which ultimately draws the attention of the Gokaigers, who were searching for a Sentai warrior connected to traffic safety.
He introduces himself to the group, hoping to enlist their talents in his acting troupe. The Gokaigers decline and flee from warrior, but only Don is caught by Kyosuke. When things don't go as planned, Insarn attempts to capture Kyosuke herself, eliciting a jealous reaction from Jealousto, who tries to kill Kyosuke. He is eventually saved from both Zangyack warriors when the Gokaigers use the Carranger Ranger Keys to fend off an enlarged Jealousto and Insarn realizes her "love" for Jealousto. In the end, Kyosuke manages to successfully teach the children about traffic safety when the Gokaigers agree to act as bickering traffic lights. TV STORY-Ep. 14: Now More Road Safety
Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the Gokaigers finally defeat the Zangyack invasion force on Earth and Ackdos Gill, Marvelous returned all of the Ranger Keys to their original owners. It is assumed Kyosuke and his team have their powers back. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Super Hero Taisen[]
Kyosuke, alongside his team (bar Signalman), among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes, was caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident which eventually resulted in the Super Sentai teams and Kamen Riders joining forces to defeat both Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker. During the final battle, he is seen in the background fighting Go-Baberu-Da and Taursus Ballista. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger[]
Red Racer appeared as part of a conference of the first 38 Reds led by Red Falcon, who addressed the Ninningers and Zyuohgers as the greater Super Sentai pantheon intervened to save them from defeat at the hands of the titanic Gillmarda. Empowering the Combination Nin Shuriken to form Wild Tousai Shuriken King, the first 38 Super Sentai further imbued their successors with the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst, destroying Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai. MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai
Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]
Kyosuke joined the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of Big Eater Team. It’s unknown whether he participated in the match, but his team was eliminated after losing the first round against the Gilded Team.
Zenkaiger[]
A manifestation of Red Racer was summoned alongside his team by Gaon through the Carranger Sentai Gear which allowed Gaon to use Yellow Racer's mechanical knowledge to dismantle the missiles fired by Stacaesar. TV STORY-No. 26-kai! Remodeled Prince and Dark Surgeon!
A copy of Red Racer was summoned by Zenkaizer through the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon to help fight Headwind World. TV STORY-No. 43-kai! The Weather Chicken's Head is Directly Opposite the Wind!
Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger The Movie: Red Battle! All Sentai Rally!![]
Kyosuke alongside with his Sentai Red Ranger predecessors appeared to help the Zenkaigers. MOVIE STORY-Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger The Movie: Red Battle! All Sentai Rally!!
Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki[]
Though he was seemingly erased alongside his team as a result of Asmodeus’ manipulations, he and, presumably, his corresponding team were restored back into existence once Touma Kamiyama had helped Shotaro Ishinomori (character) Shotaro regained his passion in drawing out the superheroes that he wants to draw out.
During the climatic final battle itself, he can be seen fighting alongside Go-On Red, Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Sabela.

The Red Racer Ranger Key (レッドレーサーレンジャーキー Reddo Rēsā Renjā Kī) is Kyosuke Jinnai's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The Red Racer Ranger Key was mainly used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who used it to fight as Red Racer. It was also used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), Don Dogoier (Gokai Green) and Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver) on one occasion each.
- When the Gokaigers became the Carrangers while fighting against Action Commander Jealousto. TV STORY-Ep. 14: Now More Road Safety
- Gai uses this key alongside all other Red keys after being merged with Captain Marvelous by Insarn. TV STORY-Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Let's Do This Goldenly! Roughly! 36 Round Gokai Change!!
- Joe became Red Racer as part of an all-red Gokai Change in the Gokaigers' fight with Makuu Prison Chief Ashrada. MOVIE STORY-Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Uchuu Keiji Gavan: The Movie
- As part of a bombardment of changes in the final battle with Emperor Ackdos Gill. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
- Don became Red Racer in the first of two successive all-red Gokai Changes against Bangray's Doukoku Chimatsuri and Z Shin. TV STORY-Ep. 29: The Monarch of the Monarchs
The Carranger Keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The Carranger keys were defeated by Super Gosei Pink. MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Kyosuke received his key and became Red Racer once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Usage[]
The Super Sentai Zyudenchi (スーパー戦隊獣電池 Sūpā Sentai, Super Squadron Beast Batteries), alternatively named Legend Sentai Zyudenchi (レジェンド戦隊獣電池 Rejendo Sentai Jūdenchi, Legend Squadron Beast Batteries) in the toyline, are a special line of Zyudenchi that contain the likeness of the Sentai teams before Kyoryuger (represented by the main Reds). These Zyudenchi are in the same fashion as the "Legend Rider" lines of Collectible Devices in the Kamen Rider Series.
A Carranger Zyudenchi which bears the likeness of Red Racer is part of the Legend Sentai Zyudenchi toyline which can be used in Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O.
The Legend Sentai Ressha (レジェンド戦隊レッシャー Rejendo Sentai Ressha) are Ressha based on the Mecha, specifically those belonging to the Red heroes, of the ToQgers' preceding Super Sentai teams. They can form a unique combination of ToQ-Oh reminiscent of past Sentai Robos by switching with Red Ressha. The ToQ Changer toy is shown to have sounds for Legend Ressha of all 37 previous Sentai.
The Carranger Ressha (カーレンジャーレッシャー Kārenjā Ressha) appears as an SG Ressha.

Notes[]
- In Gokaiger, when the Red Racer image appears in front of him, Kyosuke breaks the fourth wall and slaps the Red Racer image aside, getting Ahim's and Don's attention.
- Although not his main Mech, Kyosuke was the first Sentai hero to utilize a Mech based on a fire truck (V-Fire).
- Kyosuke's appearance in Gokaiger was the first physical appearance of a Sentai character prior to the 2000s series.

Gekisou Sentai Carranger: Zenkai! Racer Senshi[]
Kyosuke as Red Racer appears with his team in the video game Gekisou Sentai Carranger: Zenkai! Racer Senshi. The RV Mechas have been dismantled and their parts scattered all around, so it is up to the Carrangers to collect all the parts required to rebuild them, all the while fighting the Bowzock gang. The parts appear in the form of cogs and gears, and can only be obtained by striking various objects and killing off Wumpers along the way, among other forms (finding and getting an engine, for example, will give off ten parts). Each Mecha requires 50 parts to be rebuilt.
There are two possible endings depending on whether or not all five mecha were rebuilt. If they are, then the "good" ending is triggered. After Gynamo grows huge, RV Robo is formed and proceeds to battle Gynamo in the middle of the city. RV Robo than defeats Gynamo once and for all. If not, the "bad" ending will be triggered instead, where the Carranger are unable to form RV Robo. With no one to stop him, the Bowzock destroy Earth.
