Gekisou Sentai Kaarenjaa (Violent Dash Battle Team Car Ranger) was Toei Company Limited's 20th production of the Super Sentai television series. Its footage was used in Power Rangers: Turbo. Carranger was unique because it was a parody of Sentai while at the same time being a Sentai series itself.Plot
Five workers from the Pegasus Auto Garage discover Dappu, an alien from another planet. He empowers the five with the "carmagic" power of the 5 legendary car constellations, transforming them into Carrangers. As Carrangers, the five battle an alien biker gang and prevent them from destroying Earth.CharactersCarRangers
- Kyosuke Jinnai (陣内恭介 Jinnai Kyosuke) / Red Racer (レッドレーサー): A test driver at the Pegasus auto garage, normally only assigned to do errands and odd jobs. He was originally selfish enough to abandon his team because he wanted to drive his boss's classic car. Soon, though, he realized that he had a responsibility as 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. He fell in love with Zonnette, although at first she only loved his Red Racer alter ego, and was eventually able to confess his love to her. He is a very brave, heroic man who was willing to risk his life in order to fight as Kyousuke and not Red Racer to prove his love for Zonnette.
- Naoki Domon (土門直樹 Domon Naoki) / Blue Racer (ブルーレーサー): The youngest of the team, very polite. He works as a car designer at Pegasus Garage. Domon is also an animal lover.
- Makoto Uesugi (上杉実 Uesugi Makoto) / Green Racer (グリーンレーサー): The oldest of the team, a bungling salesman at Pegasus.
- Natsumi Shinohara (志乃原菜摘 Shinohara Natsumi) / Yellow Racer (イエローレーサー): A genius mechanic at Pegasus Garage, able to fix any machine in minutes. She uses a legendary wrench given to her by the owner of a garage she visited as a child, but later learns she can still fix anything without the wrench.
- Youko Yagami (八神洋子 Yagami Yōko) / Pink Racer (ピンクレーサー): A secretary at Pegasus Garage, calculating the expenses and payroll. She is very self-conscious about her weight because she loves to eat sweets, and frequently consults magazine fortune-telling articles to predict her future. She dreams of becoming an idol someday and marrying a rich husband, and has a terrible sense of direction.
Allies
- Dappu: One of the few survivors of planet Hazard, which was destroyed by the Bowzock. He is the keeper of the 'carrmagic' power, which he gives to the five Pegasus employees. The CarRanger's power is dependent on their friendship with Dappu.
- SignalMan: An intergalactic officer assigned to Earth. He is from the Police Planet, where he left behind his wife Sigue, and son Sigtarou. He can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help to the Carrangers, because of his intense training in the rules of traffic.
- Radiata Fanbelt: The younger sister of Zonnette, and a huge CarRanger fan. With magic, she dons an outfit modeled after the CarRangers and calls herself "White Racer". She drives the "Radiacar" which can become a robot, but for only one minute. First aided Carrangers against the Zokurangers, able to shapeshift. She was armed with Riddle Bombs, which explode if one's foe does not know the answer. Her henshin into White Racer is based on Sailor Moon's, and when the Radiacar enlarges, it's a play off of Ultraman doing so.
- VRV Master: Known as the "Lone Wolf of Space", he appeared suddenly while Dappu was in the hibernation his race go into. He gave the Carrangers the VRV machines. It was later revealed that the VRV master was Dappu's father. He was addicted to milk-coffee, which was the reason why he wasn't in hibernation himself.
Mecha
- RV Machines/RV Robot: Car-like mecha created by Dappu when he infused his CarMagic power into the Carranger's dream cars. They are normally stored at Pegasus Garage until they are needed. The five vehicles link up to form RV Robo, who uses the RV Sword as its primary weapon in its Violent Dashing Tornado Cut, where the robot "spins" while charging, slashing though its enemy repeatedly and destroying it. Also able to use tired-shaped Radial Shield and Pragnedo Spark energy blast from headlights on chest.
