Story

In the year 20XX, the Jark Matter organization have conquered space, invading incountable planets across the cosmos, including Earth. In response, an insurgent force called "Rebellion" is established and gathers nine alien warriors from across the galaxy who are chosen by the Kyutama, magical stones with the power of the constellations, to become the Kyurangers; The humanoids Lucky, Stinger, Naga Ray, Hammie, and Spada, the wolf-man Garu, the mechanical lifeform Balance, and the androids Champ and Raptor 283. Once assembled, the Kyurangers decide to start their campaign against Jark Matter by liberating Earth, as they are suspicious of why the planet is so heavily guarded by their forces. The team later gains three other members; Their commander, the dragon-like alien Shou Ronpo, a young boy from Earth called Kotaro Sakuma, and Tsurugi Ōtori, a legendary hero who defeated Jark Matter 300 years ago and was put to sleep until he is reawakened by the other Kyurangers.[1]
