	Movies - Mirai Sentai Time Ranger

Future Squadron Timeranger was a Japanese television series which aired in 2000. It was the 24th in Toei's Super Sentai series-of-series (technically, they are all seasons of one long-running show; however, since each season introduces a completely new cast and new premise, they are effectively different series.) The footage from this series was used in the American production Power Rangers: Time Force.

Plot

In the 30th century, time travel becomes illegal after a time paradox crisis. The Time Protection Department is established to watch for and stop time crimes. Four cadets of the TPD are tricked by Don Dornero and his gang into letting them time-travel to the 20th century to commit various crimes. To protect history, the four cadets pursue them. There they encounter a severe problem: the TimeRanger program requires five members for the first operation. They thus force a present-day martial artist, Tatsuya Asami, to join them, allowing them to become the TimeRangers.

Over time, the four cadets begin to realize that their presence would inevitably change the future, and that it apparently already had, in the form of the City Guardians, a security force under the employment of the Asami Corporation to protect the city from the Londarz. The City Guardians gain a tenuous relationship with the TimeRangers, especially when Tatsuya's childhood friend Naoto becomes TimeFire and then becomes the City Guardian's Captain.

Characters

TimeRangers

Tatsuya Asami/TimeRed: A martial artist who was "drafted" into the team. He refuses to accept fate and his heritage as future CEO of his father's company. He believes that people can control their own destiny, but only if they fight for a desirable future.

Yuuri/TimePink: Police officer from the 30th century. Since the police were aware of Don Dolnero's plan, she posed as a TPD cadet to stop him. She has a grudge against Don Dolnero for sending an assassin who killed her family. She practically leads the TimeRangers.

Ayase/TimeBlue: Formerly a racer, this calm-headed figure has a knack for highspeed battles. He also has an incurable terminal illness.

Domon/TimeYellow: Formerly a professional fighter, he tends to overdo it some times.

Sion/TimeGreen: An alien whose world was destroyed and who was thus raised on Earth. He is nimble and has a curiosity of everything around him. He is also the TimeRangers technical expert able to work with any machine.

Naoto Takizawa/TimeFire: Tatsuya's rival and leader of the City Guardians established by the Asami Corporation. Unlike Tatsuya, Naoto came from the other side of the tracks, getting by on a scholarship as the two of them attended prep school. Naoto envied Tatsuya and wanted to be the best of the two. After becoming TimeFire the Asami group attempted to analyze the technology for mass production, but could not fully understand the 30th century Technology. Later he found out through Sion that the Londarz monsters are just prisoners and only need to be recaptured. In Episode 37 he learned that the TimeRangers came from the 30th century, and because of his desire for power he chose to find a way to use his new knowledge of the Time Rangers to his advantage. Near the finale, after Wataru Asami was hospitalized in a previous episode, Naoto was able to use that knowledge to gain full control of the City Guardians. In the Finale, after Naoto was injured during the battle against Neo-Crisis he learned Wataru Asami was able to regain control of the City Guardians through quick legal maneuvering. Naoto was kicked out of the City Guardians and fled because the City Guardians tried to take the V-Commander when they revealed that they were able to remove the Voice Lock function. In the end Naoto was killed from a Zenito's bullet, knocking him from a high-story of a building all the way to the ground but handed over the V-Commander to Tatsuya just before he died from his bullet wound.

Allies

TAC: A Navigation Robot in the form of an owl who transmits the launch of the TimeJets. He has a database on all Londarz Criminals.

Wataru Asami: Tatsuya's father.

Captain Ryuuya: TPD commanding officer in 3000, and appears to be a descendant of Tatsuya due to their similarities. He's the opposite of Tatsuya, especially in the terms of fate.

Kyukyu Sentai GoGo-V

Mecha

Providus: Providus serves to send the TimeJets and TimeShadow through the time gate. In the dreamworld, he has a spinning fist attack in battle.
