Kousoku Sentai Turboranger (???????????? Kosoku Sentai Taborenja?, [Note 1]) is
the thirteenth entry of Toei Company's Super Sentai series. The first Super Sent
ai title of the Heisei period, it was aired on TV Asahi on March 3, 1989 to Febr
uary 23, 1990 with a total of 51 episodes. Its international title in English as
listed by Toei is Turbo Rangers.[1]
During its initial run, Turboranger was the 11th Super Sentai and billed as the
10th anniversary title of the Super Sentai series (as Battle Fever J was origina
lly designated as the first Super Sentai series). However, in 1995, Himitsu Sent
ai Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai officially became the first two Super Sentai
series; thus making Turboranger the 13th in the franchise.
Twenty thousand years ago, the Fairy race assisted humans in a battle against th
e Boma Tribes and sealed them away. Due to modern day pollution and man's destru
ction of nature, the power of Fairy magic has weakened, allowing the seal to be
broken and the Tribes escape. With the help of Doctor Dazai, Seelon, the last of
the fairies, summoned five high school seniors. As children, they were showered
with the "flames of spirit" of the fallen fairies in a forest, and can now hear
Seelon's voice. Donning powered suits, the product of a collaboration between S
eelon's magic and Doctor Dazai's science, the five become the Turborangers, jugg
ling days of fighting with their regular school lives, in order to defeat the Bo
ma Tribes.
