Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters (Special Mission Squadron Go-Busters) is the 36th and current Super Sentai series, airing from 2012 to 2013.
In the year 2012 of the Neo A.D. calendar, urban life is supported by a new, clean energy source known as "Enetron". However, a hostile force codenamed "Vaglass" is attempting to steal that energy for their own dark purposes.
Thirteen years ago, the Vaglass computer virus infected the main computers of the Energy Management Centre that regulates Enetron. The virus quickly raged out of control and gained sentience, becoming a threat to the world itself. With no other option, the researchers sealed the virus away by teleporting the entire facility into hyperspace at the cost of their own lives.
Now in the present, the agents of Vaglass are aiming to siphon enough Enetron to teleport the consciousness known as "Messiah" back into the real world. Opposing their evil plans is the secret special-ops division of the Energy Management Centre, codenamed "Go-Busters".
The Members are:
.
Hiromu Sakurada/Red Buster: The Hero. The leader of the Go-Busters and most skillful of the team.
.
Cheeda Nick: Hiromu's partner, a humanoid cheetah robot who looks out for him like an older brother. He's able to turn into a motorcycle, but ironically has no sense of direction.
.
Ryūji Iwasaki/Blue Buster: The Big Guy. The eldest and strongest of the team. Tries to keep peace between his teammates.
.
Gorisaki Banana: Ryūji's partner; for a robot gorilla he's a huge worrywart. Often does mechanical work around the base.
.
Yōko Usami/Yellow Buster: The Load. The lone girl of the group and has quite the temperment on her.
.
Usada Lettuce: Yōko's partner, a robot rabbit. Tends to be overbearing, leading him and Yōko to squabble a lot. Usually works as, Bridge control
.
Masato Jin/Beet Buster: A gifted Megazord engineer who was once admired by Ryuji as a mentor figure. He vanished into hyperspace in 1999, but has somehow returned to the physical world after 13 years without any signs of aging. He is actually a digital avatar controlled remotely by the real Masato, who is still stranded in hyperspace.
.Beet J. Stag/Stag Buster: A beetle-themed humanoid robot who transforms into the fifth warrior of the team. Has a habit of showing off in front of Masato, much to Masato's chagrin. Unlike Masato, he exists physically in the real world and functions as a marker used by the real Masato to transport his avatar and Buster Machines from hyperspace.
The Main Villians are Vaglass. Led by the entity known as Messiah, Vaglass seeks to make the Earth more suitable to machines and seeks to wipe out the human race by tapping into the Energy Management Center's Enetron. However, sent into subspace, an alternate dimension where gravity is greater to the point that breathing can be painful, Messiah resolves to use its agents Enter and Escape to gather the vast amount of Enetron needed to re-enter reality. The Vaglass's base of operations is the ruins of the Transport Research Center that ended up in subspace thirteen years prior.
The Members are:
.Messiah: The Non Action Big Bad. The "god" of the Valglass, a crazed artificial intelligence created thirteen years previously and sealed into hyperspace.
.Enter: The Commander in Cheif. One of Messiah's agents in the real world. Although he resembles a human, he is actually a virtual avatar remotely controlled from hyperspace by the real Enter. Loves to sprinkle his speech with French. A Complete Monster. Starting from his 'attempts' to appease his Majesty Messiah, which involves causing misery as much as he likes and pulling Unwilling Roboticisation, even on children, using them as human shields in much more frequently than Guirail could even muster and, on top of that, having a blast while doing them with an unabashedly relaxed, but still nasty speech pattern peppered with french phrases. He's seriously behaving like this ever since the first episode.
.Escape: The second of Messiah's virtual agents in the real world. She wields two energy guns called Goku and Magoku, and refers to Messiah as "Papa".
