Story

The urban lives of the city now runs by a major power source known as, Enetron (エネトロン Enetoron). An evil organization from a different dimesion 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 BuddyRoids (バディロイドヅ Badi Roidozu), they have to stop Vaglass from obtaining the Enetron from the city. Hero and villain alike battle alongside 'roids' that grow into giant 'MegaZords' (メガゾード Megazōdo).[1]

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.[2] 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 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 Metaroids' MegaZords, such as ShovelRoid's ShovelZord.
  • The Morphin Brace shouts "It's Morphin' Time!" when activated, which was used throughout Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Zeo, the first two Power Rangers adaptations of Super Sentai shows.
  • 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.


Trivia

Gobuster-Wikipedia

Wiki 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.
  • This is the first time the two additional heroes for a three-man Sentai team are gold and silver.
  • Wikipedia code for various tokusatsu articles can be found in the opening for the first episode; most notable 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.
  • This series' team is simialr to Gekiranger having Blue and Yellow being on the team previously and having Red join at the begining of the series. Also Beetbuster and Stagbuster will join the team later similar to Geki Violet and Geki Chopper.
