Revision as of 08:21, 8 July 2020

Logo-supersentaiThis article is about a series entry (the 36th) in the Super Sentai series.

Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters (特命戦隊ゴーバスターズ Tokumei Sentai Gōbasutāzu, translated as Special Operations Squadron Go-Busters) is the title of the 36th entry in the Super Sentai series. It premiered on February 26, 2012, and joined Kamen Rider FourzeIcon-crosswiki, replacing Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Kamen Rider WizardIcon-crosswiki after Fourze's finale as a part of the Super Hero Time programming block on TV Asahi. The series follows a spy motif and follows a group of warriors in their goal to stop a malevolent computer virus and its organization. On February 17, 2013, it was replaced by Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger as part of the Super Hero Time block.

This show was aired in South Korea in 2013 as Power Rangers Go-Busters (파워레인저 고버스터즈 Paworeinjeo Gobeoseuteojeu).

In 2015 and 2016, an adaptation of Go-Busters was dropped in favor of Kyoryuger instead. In 2018, following the acquisition of the franchise by Hasbro, it was announced that Go-Busters was to be adapted into Power Rangers Beast Morphers, following Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel.

The average ratings of the series was 4.1%.[1]

Story

"Neo AD 2012. The massive energy source, Enetron, is the foundation of city functions. After it are the Vaglass, a threat to humanity. The Go-Busters are youths entrusted with special missions to fight and protect the people."
―Narrator[src]

The urban lives of the city are now run by a major power source known as Enetron (エネトロン Enetoron). An evil organization from a different dimension called Vaglass (ヴァグラス Vagurasu) aims to threaten the city by stealing the Enetron from it. Three warriors are chosen by the Energy Management Center to be a group of elite heroes, known as Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, that will protect the city from any evil threat. Along with their partners, known as Buddy Roids (バディロイドヅ Badi Roidozu), they are tasked with stopping Vaglass from obtaining the Enetron from the city. Heroes and villains alike battle alongside 'roids' and giant villainous 'MegaZords' (メガゾード Megazōdo).[2]

Notes

  • Go-Busters was one of the rare instances in Super Sentai where the home media releases of each episode would come with an audio commentary by the cast and crew members.[3] The home media releases of the summer movie "Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters the Movie: Protect the Tokyo Enetower!" director's cut also included a commentary track. The only other season to have audio commentaries for every episode was Donbrothers, which premiered 10 years after Go-Busters. Except for Donbrothers, the audio commentaries were released on TTFC, instead of the home media releases.

References to "Power Rangers"

Go-Busters contains several references to Power Rangers - some obvious, some not overtly stated, and some possibly not intentional. Usually, these references refer to 'firsts' in Sentai history of plot devices already in place in Power Rangers.

  • The mecha are called MegaZords. This is for both the heroes and villains. The difference is that the humanoid forms of some individual mecha are also called MegaZords, unlike in Power Rangers where the name refers to a "giant robo", usually a combiner. 'Zord' is used as a suffix for Metaloids' MegaZords, such as Shovelloid's ShovelZord.
  • The Morphin Brace announces, "It's Morphin' Time!" when activated, which was used throughout Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Zeo, the first two Power Rangers adaptations of Super Sentai shows.
    • Also, the Morphin Brace has a sunglasses theme similar to Jungle Fury, except the Go-Busters don't actually put them on like the Jungle Fury Rangers. However, the sunglasses do form the visor lenses when transforming.
  • The Go-Busters can wear their suits without their helmets. This is similar to how the first Power Rangers frequently appeared helmetless; though the Go-Busters weren't the first Sentai to do so (Go-Onger constituting a recent example).
  • Buddyloids are much more similar to Alpha, the name of a series of robots that has support the Power Rangers.
  • Speaking of Go-Onger, The main villain Messiah is very similar to the main villain in Go-Onger's Power Rangers adaptation, R.P.M Venjix as they were both computer viruses, not to mention very impatient and angry.
  • Messiah is a floating head from a different dimension, just like Zordon.
  • The Go-Busters have Super Powers (super speed for Hiromu, super strength for Ryuji and super jumping for Yoko) they can access to fight better. This is very similar to the heroes of Dino Thunder, S.P.D., or Operation Overdrive.
    • Unlike the Power Ranger series' powers, however, this series has given the Super Powers Weakpoints, which balance out the overall effectiveness of the Busters. Also, the Busters can use their "Civilian Powers" while transformed.
  • Powered Custom is similar to the Red Sentinel Ranger, a mode in which Mack, the Red Overdrive Ranger, combined with the supporting robot (Sentinel Knight).

Notes

Gobuster-Wikipedia

HTML code of Wikipedia's Super Sentai article.

  • This is the first Sentai team to have their name be in plural format as their official name, being Go-Busters as opposed to "Go-Buster".
  • The HTML code for various tokusatsu articles from Wikipedia can be found in the opening for the first episode; most notable overview an entry reading Super Sentai which mentions various other Toei-related properties of the past that have an American connection, including Spider-Man, Voltron (an Americanization of Toei anime Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV) and Sailor Moon.
  • The Metaloid/MegaZord connection is the first season since Battle Fever J where the giants are actually robotic doppelgängers of the smaller monsters.
  • This is the 3rd season where the name of the show starts with "Go-" (including the hyphen). The first one is  GoGoV and the second is Go-Onger.
  • This is the first Sentai since GoGoFive to not have "man" "ranger" or "-ger" in the title or team name.
  • This is the first Sentai since Gekiranger to have only one female yellow ranger in the core team, even after the addition of two new members. (Go-Onger originally started off with one female warrior, but another joined the team later in the season.)
  • Go-Busters shares many similarities to Engine Sentai Go-Onger, and its American adaption Power Rangers RPM:
    • Both Go-Busters and Go-Onger feature the word "Go-" in the title, they both feature animal mechas merged with machines, both feature mecha with some sort of numbering, both feature Rangers that often take off their helmets after fights, both feature Gold and Silver Rangers as a duo, and both feature very similar belts.
  • This is the first Sentai to completely replace the opening music mid-season. The only season to change the opening theme, before Go-Busters, was Gekisou Sentai Carranger, but the replacement was a different version of the same song.
  • Missions 31 and 32 feature a crossover with the new Space Sheriff Gavan.
  • This is the first Sentai since Ninja Sentai Kakuranger to feature a frog-themed mecha.
  • This series is the first post-Gekiranger series to not have a collectable gimmick (Go-Onger had Engine Souls, Shinkenger had Secret Disks, Goseiger had Gosei Cards and Gokaiger had Ranger Keys, Kyoryuger had Zyudenchi, ToQger had ToQ Ressha, Ninninger had Nin Shuriken, Zyuohger had Zyuoh Cubes, Kyuranger had Kyutama, Lupinranger VS Patranger had Dial Fighters, Trigger Machines and X Trains, and Ryusoulger had Ryusouls) until Kiramager.
  • For April Fools Day 2014, it was announced Go-Busters was going to be adapted in 2015 as Power Rangers Energy Chasers, and was going to air on the Saban Brands owned Vortexx block. If this were true, the show would've ended up without a home, as Vortexx ended in September 2014.
  • Its premiere preceeding Beast Morphers (2019) by seven years, Go-Busters (2012-13) is the oldest Sentai relative to its adaptation, eclipsing both Goseiger (2010-11) and Gokaiger (2011-12) which respectively preceeded Megaforce (2013) and Super Megaforce (2014) by three years. The upcoming adaptation (2020) of the crossover between Go-Busters and Kyoryuger came in six years (2014) following its source.
  • Two cast members of Go-Busters previously played a yellow ranger. Hiroya Matsumoto, now playing Masato Jin, previously played Tsubasa Ozu/MagiYellow, while Suzuka Morita, known for playing Kotoha Hanaori/ShinkenYellow guest starred as Gavan's assistant Shelly.
    • Yellow Buster would later portray Akyanba in Kyuranger.
  • This is the first season since Juken Sentai Gekiranger to not have a Green/Black or Pink Ranger in the main team.
  • So far, this is the last Sentai where the Core Rangers have a group enhanced form (if not count Zyuohgers' Instinct Awakened forms).
  • This is the only Korean-dubbed Sentai where they kept the original team name.
  • This is currently, the last Sentai team to only start with the three primary colors (Red, Blue and Yellow), which had started with Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan.
