"Blue Buster!"
―Blue Buster's roll call[src]

Ryuji Iwasaki (岩崎 リュウジ Iwasaki Ryūji) is Blue Buster (ブルーバスター Burū Basutā) of the Go-Busters. He is a warrior with excellent fighting technique, as well as the oldest of the team. His partner Buddy Roid is Gorisaki Banana.

His Buster Power is super strength. However, this has a dangerous trade-off. When Ryuji uses his power too much he will overheat and has to take time to cool down. If he completely overheats, he becomes very violent, and this puts a great toll on his body.

History[]

Go-Busters[]

Ryuji is the eldest of the 3 Busters and the most level headed of the three. He is 28 years old. He's the only one, of the main 3 to not have a family member appear in the series. Though, out of all 5, only himself, and Jin, don't have any family members appear, only friends.

Ryuji was visiting Jin in the Energy Management Center 13 years ago. When the Energy Management Center was teleported into the hyperspace, Ryuji, along with Hiromu and Yoko, were given the vaccine program and left behind. Ryuji spent 13 years living with the Special Missions Department with Yoko, making him and Yoko so close that they are like siblings. He and Kuroki also started the trend of having a Christmas party every year, so that he and Yoko will not hate Christmas. Tvicon TV STORY-Mission 43: Christmas Determination

Ryuji ends up fighting a lot with Escape after she deemed him "pretty good" after fighting with him when he was overheated. He was horrified when he found out that Enter had been able to revive Escape using her backup data and that she didn't remember him anymore, as her backup did not contain memories of the Go-Busters. Escape (after she was combined with the data from a flower) repeatedly made him overheat so that she could have a good fight, nearly killing Ryuji. When Escape's data becomes too corrupted and she starts assimilating everything, Ryuji defeats her, intending to end her suffering. As Escape dies, she calls Ryuji her "Papa" and asks him if she become pretty good, to which he replies, "Yes" to give her peace. He then watches until she disappears. Tvicon TV STORY-Mission 48: Setting the Trap

Ryuji fulfilled his dream of becoming an engineer after the Vaglass were defeated.

Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters[]

Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]

A manifestation of Blue Buster was summoned alongside his team by Vroon through the Go-Busters Sentai Gear which allowed Vroon to use Blue Buster's Super Strength power to fight Garbage World. Tvicon TV STORY-No. 6-kai! Unpleasant and Mysterious Garbage Handling!

Personality[]

Cool-headed and reasonable, Ryuji is always one to keep his head in the game while his younger comrades bicker among themselves. He prefers to think of himself as an older brother instead of a father, and gets annoyed when people around him call him a father. While he is normally level headed, if Ryuji overheats because of the use of his super strength he becomes sadistic, violent and easily aggravated by anything and anyone. Ryuji was mature from a young age, which is shown by his care and love towards Yoko in her flashbacks and how he and Kuroki organized a Christmas party every year so that no one would hate Christmas. He is also very protective towards Yoko and gets very agitated when Yoko talks about romance, as he thinks that Yoko is too young for romance.
