mirai sentai time ranger

Future Task Force 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 an time paradox crisis. The Time Protection Department is established to watch for and stop time crimes. Four cadets of the TPD were 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. But they encounter a severe problem ... the TimeRanger program requires five members for the first operation. They force a present-day martial artist, Tatsuya Asami, to join them, and become the TimeRangers to protect the present and future. 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 Corpation to secure the businesses of anyone who could pay for it. The City Guardians gain a tenuous relationship with the Time Rangers when Tatsuya's childhood friend Naoto becomes TimeFire.

Characters

TimeRangers
