Gekisou Sentai Carranger (激走戦隊カーレンジャー Gekisō Sentai Kārenjā?), translated into English as Racing Squadron Carranger, is a Japanese Tokusatsu television show. It was Toei Company Limited's twentieth production of the Super Sentai television series. Its footage was used in the American Power Rangers: Turbo. Carranger saved the Sentai genre from its falling predecessor Chouriki Sentai Ohranger, due to its unique nature.[original research?] However, in reverse, Carranger's counterpart in Power Rangers, Power Rangers: Turbo, almost caused that show to be canceled, and would be saved a year later by Carranger's successor, Denji Sentai Megaranger, whose footage was adapted into Power Rangers in Space. Carranger is a Sentai series that is portrayed as a parody of the Sentai genre itself.[original research?]

Gekisou Sentai Carranger

"Fighting for traffic safety! Gekisou Sentai Ca-a-a-a-arranger!" (戦う交通安全！激走戦隊！カー～レンジャー！ Tatakau kotsu anzen! Gekisou Sentai! Caaaaaranger!?)

The Carrangers consist of five employees at the 'Pegasus Auto Garage. Advertisements for the series show that the first kana in the Carangers' names spell "automobile" (「じ・ど・う・し・ゃ」（自動車） "Ji・Do・U・Shi・Ya" (jidōsha)?) in Japanese.

  • Kyousuke Jinnai (陣内 恭介 Jinnai Kyōsuke?) / Red Racer (レッドレーサー Reddo Rēsā?) is 23 years old. He is a test driver at the Pegasus auto garage, normally only assigned to do errands and odd jobs. Kyousuke is originally selfish enough to abandon his team because he wants to drive his boss's classic car. Soon, though, Kyousuke 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 loves his Red Racer alter ego, and is eventually able to confess his love to her. He is a very brave, heroic man who was willing to risk his life to fight as Kyousuke and not Red Racer to prove his love for Zonnette.
    • Formula Weapon: Fender Sword (フェンダーソード Fendā Sōdo?)
    • Special attack: Driving Attack (ドライビングアタック Doraibingu Atakku?) (A flying punch)
  • Naoki Domon (土門 直樹 Domon Naoki?) / Blue Racer (ブルーレーサー Burū Rēsā?) is the youngest and smartest of the team, 17 years old and very polite and shy. He works as a car designer at Pegasus Garage. Naoki is also an animal lover.

He once loses the bracelet portion of the Accel Changer (and thus the Green Racer powers) while practicing victory poses after a fight. Minoru speaks with Osaka-ben.
    • Formula Weapon: Engine Cannon (エンジンキャノン Enjin Kyanon?)
    • Special attack: Pit-In Dive (?) (Green Racer skims along the ground face-down and sweeps his enemy over)
  • Natsumi Shinohara (志乃原 菜摘 Shinohara Natsumi?) / Yellow Racer (イエローレーサー Ierō Rēsā?) is 19 years old. A genius mechanic at Pegasus Garage, Natsumi is able to fix any machine in minutes.

[edit] Allies

[edit] Hazardians

Aliens from Planet Hazard, which was destroyed by the Bowzock prior to turning their attention to Earth.

  • Hazardian Dappu (ダップ Dappu?): One of the few survivors of planet Hazard, which was destroyed by the Bowzock. He is the keeper of the 'Kurumagic' (a pun on Kuruma (car) and Magic) power, which he gives to the five Pegasus employees. The Carrangers' power is dependent on their friendship with Dappu. Through about episode 18, he wore a cloak, until the events of that episode forced him into Earth-style clothes.
  • VRV Master (ＶＲＶマスター Bui Aru Bui Masutā?): Known as the "Lone Wolf of Space" (宇宙の一匹狼 Uchuu no ippiki ookami?), he appeared suddenly while Dappu was in the hibernation that his race goes into. He gave the Carrangers the VRV Machines after the RV Robo had been stolen by Bowzock. It was later revealed that the VRV Master was Dappu's father. He was addicted to coffee milk, which was the reason why he wasn't in hibernation himself.

[edit] Signal Family

Robotic people from the Police Planet.

  • SignalMan (シグナルマン Shigunaruman?): An intergalactic robotic police officer assigned to Earth, and something of a Sixth Ranger figure. 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. He briefly left Earth and returned to his homeworld to spend time with his family only to find that it was polluted by five-colored exhaust created by Exhaus to warp SignalMan's mind. Deceived that the Carrangers were behind it, he went back to Earth to perform police brutality on them, and sort of became the new leader of the Bowzock. Fortunately, the Carrangers managed to restore their friend to normal by tricking him into drinking natural mineral water. SignalMan can usually be seen operating from the Kobaan Base (コバーンベース Kōban Bēsu?), a small Police booth, which can be nearly everywhere in Japan (except places where people might actually pass it...).
    • Signal Weapon: Signizer (シグナイザー Shigunaizā?), SignalMan's badge, has three modes, a recording device, Police Baton Mode (ポリスバトンモード Porisu Baton Mōdo?), and Gun Mode (ガンモード Gan Mōdo?), in which form he usually shoots enemies in the knees to incapacitate them without using lethal force. It can also call the PoliSpeeder.
  • Sigue (イグエ Shigue?): SignalMan's wife, from whom he is separated.
  • Sigtarou (シグタロウ Shigutarō?): SignalMan's son, who got sick from the five-colored exhaust created by Exhaus, but soon got well by also drinking natural mineral water.

[edit] Tenma Family

A family involved in the Carrangers' lives. The father is the owner of the Pegasus Garage where the gang works, and his son befriended Signalman.

  • Souichirou Tenma (天馬 総一郎 Tenma Sōichirō?): Owner of the Pegasus Garage.
  • Yoshie Tenma (天馬 良江 Tenma Yoshie?): Souichirou's wife.
  • Ichitarou Tenma (天馬 市太郎 Tenma Ichitarō?): Souichirou's son, who is close friends with SignalMan.

[edit] Others

"Dreamy traffic safety! Gekisou Shoujo White Racer!"

  • Radietta Fanbelt (ラジエッタ・ファンベルト Rajietta Fanberuto?) / White Racer (ホワイトレーサー Howaito Rēsā?): The younger sister of Zonnette, and a huge Carranger fan. With magic, she dons an outfit modeled after the Carrangers (to the point of having the number 6 as an identifier) 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. Calls Red Racer "big brother" because of his love for Zonnette. Transforms by saying "Tiramisu, konjac, mille-feuille".
    • Weapon: Riddle Bombs (謎々爆弾 Nazonazo Bakudan?), Volleyball-sized explosives that detonate if the enemy who catches it does not know the answer to White Racer's riddles.
  • Speed King Max (スピード王マックス Supīdo Ō Makkusu?) (9): The "Speed King of Space", who was brainwashed/deformed by a super-soaker created by Grotch. Since then, he became KK Esu (クークーエス Kū Kū Esu?) the Bowzock's best dish washer. He could blast lasers from his oversized eye and create an ear-piercing "squeaky clean" hurricane. Once he returned to his original self, he died protecting Dappu from Zelmonda.
  • Chouriki Sentai Ohranger: First met by Jinnai when Hoshino and Yokkaichi found and cornered Bara Mobile, the last known Machine-Beast. After Bara Mobile shows his injuries to Jinnai, he believed that Bara Moblie was the victim and that, as long as he is not a Bowzock, he is not an enemy. This upsets the Ohrangers at first and they begin to battle against the Carrangers as Red Racer tries to take Bara Mobile to safety. After a few explanations, Red Racer realizes his mistake as Bara Mobile explained why the Ohrangers were after him. But Hoshino was kidnapped, and the Carrangers were put through a military training course by Miura. The reason at first he did this was that he believed the Carrangers were not serious in their work, much to Jinnai's embarrassment on his team's part when they thought Miura was joking. Miura soon after the training believed the Carrangers are ready to help, he sends them in Ohranger Robo to the Bowzock base to rescue OhRed. After the rescue, the Ohrangers and Carrangers, along with SignalMan, finally kill Bara Mobile, SS Statanzo, and the Norishiron Extra. Both teams then celebrated at the end of the day.
  • Denji Sentai Megaranger: The Carrangers came along to help the Megarangers when they were dealing with both Helmedor and Crab-Nejilar.

  • RadiaCar Robo (ラジエッカーロボ Rajiekkā Robo?): The White Racer's mecha, magically formed out of the Radiacar. Its head somewhat resembles Hello Kitty, and various parts of the robot retain a car-like motif, with the dashboard and steering wheel displayed on the waist, while wheels axle details are visible on the limbs. The Radiacar Robo can only retain this form for one minute.

[edit] Villains

  • Reckless Dash Emperor Exhaus (暴走皇帝エグゾス Bōsōgōtei Eguzosu?) (35-48): He is the true villain of the series who hired the Bowzock to do his dirty work. His ultimate plan was to build a giant road for aliens across the Milky Way, and to destroy Earth because it was in the way of the road. Exhaus kidnapped Dappu and tried to drain his Kurumagic Power to use for his own robots, turning it into Akumagic Power, but his plan backfired when Dappu overloaded the robots with power. He betrayed the Bowzock and took over the operation personally, only to fight the Carrangers personally when he absorbed the evil energies of the entire universe into his body to assume a fighting form, Exhaus Super-Strong (エグゾス・スーパーストロング Eguzosu Sūpā Sutorongu?). In this form he seemed unbeatable, destroying both VRV Robo and RV Robo, but was fed stale imo-youkan by Gynamo, causing him to weaken and shrink to human size so he could be finished off by the Carrangers.
  • Space Bōsōzoku Bowzock (宇宙暴走族ボーゾック Uchū Bōsōzoku Bōzokku?): An intergalactic biker gang with no love for the rules of traffic. Hired by Exhaus to pave the way for his highway by, blowing every planet in the way of construction. They have targeted Earth, the last of such planets, for destruction and frequently hang out at the BB Saloon, a bar in the Baribarian spacecraft. After he had absorbed the Carrangers' Carmagic Power, Exhaus set the Baribarian spacecraft on fire and sent it crashing to Earth, only to have it stopped by Sirender and the Carranger in human form take control of it and drove it straight into Exhaus to try and kill him.
    • President Gynamo (総長ガイナモ Sōchō Gainamo?): Leader of the Bowzock, and is madly in love with Zonnette. At the end of the series, he re-opened the fried-meats restaurant that he set up while Ritchiker took over the Bowzock.
    • Beauty Zonnette (美女ゾンネット Bijo Zonnetto?) (1-45, 48): A buxom member of Bowzock who uses her feminine wiles, and Gynamo's crush on her, for her own selfish pleasures. Zonnette drives a pink convertible called the Zonnecar. She fell madly in love with Red Racer after seeing him in action. As time passed she also fell for the man behind the mask. She is Radiata's big sister and the princess from another planet. At the end of the series, she becomes "purified" and resumed her true-form, Vanity Mirror Fanbelt (バニティーミラー・ファンベルト Banitī Mirā Fanberuto?), returning to her home planet for an arranged marriage, though she turns them all down since Red Racer is still in her heart. She returned during the finale and talked Gynamo into teaming up with the Carrangers.
    • Instructor Ritchhiker (リッチハイカー教授 Ritchihaikā Kyōju?) (16-31): Briefly hired by Gynamo as his "Evil Director of Human Resources". Ritchhiker served as the mastermind who devised the plans to deal with the Carrangers and SignalMan, who was apparently an old enemy of Ritchhiker's. He was struck by lightning during the Bowzock festival and gained a second form to go with his accidental power boost called RitchRitchhiker (リッチリッチハイカー RitchiRitchihaikā?). With his new power, he kicked out Gynamo and Zonette and took over as leader of the Bowzock. He piloted the Braking in both of its' forms to destroy the Carrangers, but only managed to capture RV Robo before Braking was finally destroyed by VRV Robo, going out in a blaze with its' pilot.
    • Deputy Leader Zelmoda (副長ゼルモダ Fukuchō Zerumoda?): Second in command of the Bowzock, and Gynamo's friend. His main weapon is a sword made up of playing cards. At the end of the series, he and Grotch help work at Gynamo's restaurant while going to elementary school for education.
    • Inventor Grotch (発明家グラッチ Hatsumeika Guratchi?): Bowzock inventor. He is responsible for many of the weapons used by the Bowzock such as the Fattening Spray and Forgetfulness Water-Gun, as well as for picking the imo-youkan, used to make the Bowzock grow. He was the one who discovered the imo-youkan by accident when he once rebelled against the Bowzock, and tried to destroy the Carrangers himself while eating at an Imocho. Fortunately, the imo-youkan he ate had expired and wore off before either he or the Carrangers could do harm to each other. At the end of the series, he and Zelmoda helped work at Gynamo's restaurant while going to elementary school for education.
    • Reckless Driving Squadron Zokuranger (暴走戦隊ゾクレンジャー Bōsō Sentai Zokurenjā?) (25): Notable for being an "Evil Sentai"-parody in a Sentai-parody show, and even had their own theme song - a remix of the Carranger theme. Other than SS Pamaan, the other members were made out of the Gorotsuki that have hung out in the BB Saloon for the entire series. They tossed a ball to each member like J.A.K.Q. and Kakuranger. Grotch gave them their own bazooka called the Zokuren Bazooka, powered by Zonnette's necklace. After SS Pamaan is killed, the others continued helping the Bowzock out the best they could.
      • SS Pamaan (スースーパマーン Sū Sū Pamān?) / "ZokuRed" (ゾクレッド "Zokkureddo"?) (25): Bowzock's best hero researcher. He was leader of the Zokuranger, calling himself ZokuRed, usually fought with Red Racer. He wielded a two-laser hole gun and a sword similar to Red Racer's.

But Mogu was relucant to attack yet as his belly button was dirty, until Grotch talks Mogu into a enlarged feeding frenzy. Mogu to be killed by RV Robo, to busy eating to see the final attack coming. "Moguu-moguu" is the sound of chewing.

  • EE Musubinofu (エンエンムスビノフ EnEn Musubinofu?) (45): Bowzock's best marriage master. Used by Zelmonda to cheer up his friend, Gynamo.

He could shoot arrows with a photograph in the middle, and whatever he hit (living or otherwise) fell in love with the subject of the picture. Killed by four of VRV Fighters (minus Fire Fighter) with the V Bazooka and V Vulcan.
