Story

One thousand years ago, the beautiful B-da City was attacked by the Dark B-da in their quest to control the entire Blue Solar System. The heroic B-Daman, drawing on their legendary power and ingenious technology, were able to restore peace to the universe. But, it is only a matter of time before evil forces strike again. Our hero, Shirobon, and his friends continue to patrol the Kingdom, fight against Dark B-da, and are always on the alert for danger, but they're always ready for fun as well.

The setting is similar to Bakugaiden III toys, but with slight changes.

The episode generally revolves around the five main characters: White, Blue, Red, Yellow, and Black "Bombers". Each get better, newer, and stronger machines or battle suits as the series progress. Each battle is either with a henchman or one of the four great bosses. Each one of them has a unique quirk. This is generally part of how the team beats them. With each Battle Suit, a new villain arrives and defeats them, forcing them to adjust their personality, or get a stronger weapon.

Battle Suits

(Note: This refers to the Beda City story starting from episode 3 of this series)

First Generation

White Gale

White Bomber was the first one to get his Battle Suit. It was capable of Flight, thus making it the most mobile and useful. He first got it accidentally when he met Professor. This suit is the only one of the first set that has flight capabilities. The toy version of this suit has two modes: Speed mode which focuses on firing and attack and Wing mode which has the capability to fly in the air. Main attack is "Gale Shot" which has rapid-firing capabilities to a certain extent. Was heavily damaged by Hogane Dragon Suit (piloted by Draken, one of the Four Dark Lords) during battle in which was upgraded to a better suit to fight him.

Blue Sniper

Blue Bomber's suit is one of the three which can only operate on land. The special feature if this suit is its retractable targeter which can help target enemies for shooting and it has an incredibly long range of fire. Its attack and defence is average and is considered a base for the other two machines built later on. He was the second one to get a suit after the White Bomber. Main attack is "Sniper Shot"

Red Buster

Red Bomber got hers, shortly after Blue's. Her suit's strength lies in the ability to fire two Beda shots at once, which made it the Beda suit with the most power (before Yellow Bomber got his though). Main attack is "Double Beda Cannon".

Yellow Shooter

Yellow Bomber's suit was based on similar designs to Red's. So basically they're twins. Because it was a later model, it took more time to develop, making it the last one to surface. But this led to Yellow getting upset, and falling under a spell of a minion. He then operated an enemy suit, and was cured eventually. But in the end, he got his own. It has the strongest attack power, but has the weakest defense and armor. Main attack is "Drive Shot" which shoots a powerful Beda roller ball right at the opponents. Heavily damaged while in its maiden battle with the Four Dark Lords.

Black Gattlinger

Black Bomber's initial suit is one of the older designs and does not have much capabilities except that it can fire a gattling of Beda shots that hit opponents' armours. While this is effective against the minion suits, it is proven useless against the suits of the Four Dark Lords themselves. It was destroyed by Draken's Hogane Dragon when it fired at the gattling part of the suit. Note that this suit does not have a capsule cockpit system unlike the rest of them in the first set.

White Gale II

After White Gale is defeated by the Hogane Dragon, the other bombers helped it retreat to the lab for repair and upgrades. The whole system goes through a re-upgrade while White Bomber is unconscious inside the cockpit. While Draken is out in the sky above the lab blasting it to pieces they slowly completed this upgrade for White Bomber to wake up and head for battle in his new upgraded suit. White Gale II has improvements in flight speed and shooting ability. Its new attack is called "Metal Beda Cannon" which fires a powerful sniper-based shot right at Draken's Hogane Dragon, causing it to explode and Draken retreats back into space in defeat.

Second Generation

The first set is destroyed in a train accident caused deliberately by Tiger (second of the Four Dark Lords)'s apprentice. This accident caused the carriage which contains three of the suits to fall off a steep cliff. White Bomber was inside at that time and survived by escaping the falling carriage, but the four suits - White Gale II, Blue Sniper, Yellow Shooter, and Red Buster went down into the sea together with it.

Black Cluster

Black Bomber's second suit. This time it features a capsule cockpit like the other suits. Has high re-loading capabilities coupled with powerful rapid-fire shots. Was destroyed by the Dark Prince's Blizzard Dragon suit after the Four Dark Lords were all defeated by the other bombers.Black Cluster is stronger than the other bombers. it first appeared in episode 19.

White Blose (White Gale 3)

White Bomber's newest suit is a complete redesign of the Beda Armour system. Main attack is "Blow Beda Cannon" which fires high-powered high-speed Beda cannon shots. This can combine with the other two suits built later to form a powerful Beda suit. Notice that the toy version has a marking on its forehead above the sensor that reads "WHITE GALE III". This is possibly an error.

Blue Braiver

Blue Bomber's newest suit now has the ability to fly just like what White Bomber's suits has always been capable of. Features an improved navigation and targeting system previously developed from the design of Blue Sniper for high-accuracy targeted shots. Made its debut at episode 23

Yellow Crusher

Yellow Bomber's new suit has the same power as its predecessor and is equipped with an additional sonar speaker and has the ability to fly thanks to the rear boosters that come inbuilt. Yellow Bomber was able to use it to tremble Shuringe (third of the Four Dark Lords)'s suit, Tsubasa Phoenix, using the sound waves created which can also deflect the Beda shots that is fired towards it, and this new suit subsequently plays a part in defeating it. It makes its debut on episode 22.

Black Devaster

Black Bomber's newest suit is the largest in size among all the Bomber's suits and can transform to a dragon for flight. This is the only Bomber suit which has dual Beda barrels for double the power. Has the capability to combine with the Saint Blaster to form the ultimate Beda suit to defend Beda City. It makes its debut on episode 37.

Flyer Dragon

Red Bomber's dragon-type suit is mainly used as a carrier suit for two Beda suits to park on when its storage hatch opens in Ride mode. It fires B-Da shots catapult-style. It makes its debut on episode 45.

Blizzard Dragon

Dark Prince's suit. It can change its shape from a normal suit to a dragon-like suit within a matter of seconds. The suit's main attack is Blizzard Cannon.

Combined Forms

Saint Blaster

This suit is combined using the above three suits - White Blows, Blue Braiver and Yellow Crasher. White Blows forms the head, body and arms of the combined suit while the other two suits forms the legs. Can fire triple shots to defeat enemies.

Saint Dragon

This ultimate suit is the combination of the four second set suits above. White Blows form the Dragon Head and upper body, Black Devaster forms the main body and wings, Blue Braiver and Yellow Crasher forms the legs of the ultimate suit. This is featured in the 2nd opening and the final episode of the series in which they defeated the dark dragon using the finisher attack "Saint Fire Volley".

Villains

Usually, Lacky Bomber makes one with numerous "supers", "ultras", and "oh greats." Defeated at the hands of one of White Bomber's new suits, upgraded with Yellow Bomber's help.
His suit, "Hogane Dragon", has the ability to fire two metal Beda shots at once when the mouth opens. He is voiced in the Japanese anime by Kunihiko Yasui.

A battle usually ends with him running out of energy, but he seems to always have the upper hand. his end was when the overlord had enough of his incompetence, and jailed him. His last battle was a loss, by destroying the power cable.
His suit, "Kurogane Byakko", has a normal metal Beda shooter and a small one on the head which can be fired separately. He is voiced in the Japanese anime by Hideyuki Hori.

In the end, she loses to an upgraded team of White, Blue, Yellow, and Black Bomber. She often comes out of her armor as a full-grown Bomber called Ms. Purple (パープルさん Papuru-san), but Dr. Gray Bomber never learns who she really is.
Her suit "Tsubasa Phoenix" has immense firepower, having a total of six Beda shooters altogether. Can transform into flying bird mode. She is voiced in the Japanese anime by Rica Matsumoto.

His suit "Yorui Turtle" has insanely high defense and normal shots cannot penetrate its powerful armour. The most devastating attack is when it opens its head and fires a large and powerful ball of Beda energy from it. But this is also where its weak spot is as this firing spot is just above the cockpit of the suit itself. The suit can transform into an armoured turtle capable of swimming in the water. He is voiced in the Japanese anime by Yosuke Akimoto.
