Chapter 1: The Lone Wolf and The Bond Ranger

SPLATURN / CLAP YOUR HANDS
Arvoln Residence
Inside the mansion resided Yihdra Arvoln and her butler/surrogate grandfather Poseidon. Both were observing the two adventurers as they battled against Yihdra's Golem as a test to see if they were strong enough to accompany her on an expedition to acquire Mana Metal for her research. Sadly, this 'battle' was turning out to be more like a one sided massacre. The adventures that she hired, Zatsu and Lain from what she could remember, could barely handle their own against the Golem and were begging for it to stop. With a disappointed sigh, she halted her familiar's attack.
"It seems I overestimated the capabilities of only B-Rank adventures," Yihdra commented. The armored one, Zatsu, took offense to her insult and shot back, "Don't act so smug if you don't even have enough funds to hire A-Rank adventurers, you daughter of a coward!"
Suddenly, the pressure in the room rises as bloodlust can be felt from Yihdra. The mere mention of slander against her father struck a nerve with her, and the others could feel it. Yihdra then took a deep breath and calmed herself down, not before giving the two adventurers a look at her wicked smirk. "Golem, please escort these two outside. But, feel free to punt them as far as possible once you reach the gate," she commanded with a demonic smile. The Golem followed her instructions via grabbing the adventurer's legs and dragging them across the ground."OUCH! H-HEY PUT US DOWN DAMMIT!" Their cries were ignored as the Golem dragged them off the property.
Once those two were gone, Yihdra got up from her chair and looked back at her father's portrait. "I'll reclaim our status in the Royal Scepter soon, Father. To do that, I need the aid of a powerful adventurer. But…" She then turned to Poseidon and spoke with a sigh, "Maybe it's time to call it quits for today, I've had enough of these disappointing adventures."
Poseidon answered, "Before we end it here, I called in two more adventures that I believe you would like to see. The Guild said that they were a duo of rising stars that made it to B-Rank in only a few months. They've been seen together a few times, so they're likely a team of some sort. Especially considering what people have been reporting about their abilities." "Alright then, I hope I don't have to wait too long for them to get here," she replied.
"No need, I'm already here."
The residents of the mansion are startled to hear a voice from the other side of the room. They turned to see a man leaning against the wall, arms crossed, and with a bored look on his face. His attire consisted of a black leather jacket over a red shirt, a black scarf, a silver chain necklace, dark blue ripped jeans, and worn-down shoes.
He starts stepping toward the mage and her butler and introduces himself, still in his bored manner. "Name's Tono Hoeru, the Guild Master told me that you were recruiting for a quest." He sticks out his right hand to Yihdra, gesturing for a handshake. She responds in kind but stops to notice the strange ring on his finger. The ring had, from what she assumed to be, a large jewel that had the appearance of a wolf. As she continues to go for the handshake, Hoeru then takes his hand back and holds up his index finger while explaining his terms to Yihdra.
"One, half of the payment upfront. I've worked with nobles before and those bastards always tried to scam me in the end, so I'll need some security."
" Alright, I guess that's fair considering his experiences with other nobles. Although his attitude needs some work. "
He then holds up another finger, "Two, be warned that I can't protect you from everything. If the path gets too rough, I have the ability to drag us out of the dungeon whenever I feel that we've had enough, no matter how much you whine."
*sigh* "He doesn't have to phrase it like that! I'm the one who's hiring, who do you think you are calling the shots like that? " She takes another deep breath and steels herself , "Calm down Yihdra, let's see how he handles combat, and maybe it'll be worth putting up with him."
"Finally… " Hoeru says while making a circle with his thumb and index finger while holding up his other three fingers. He puts the circle up to his eye to make it look like Yihdra's head is between his fingers. The adventurer finishes his proclamations with a swiping motion before giving his final condition, "All loot drops and treasures found in the dungeon belong to me. Even if you fou- "
"ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT!" Yihdra interrupted with a raging shout and grabbed hold of Hoeru's jacket to vent directly in his face. "Who the hell gave you the right to act so high and mighty, especially considering that I'm the one who's hiring you!? You even have the gall of showing up here without your partner and making these outlandish demands!"
Hoeru shoved her arms away and was about to retort until he recalled her last statement. "What do you mean I came here without my partn–"
*BOOM!*
The wall they were standing next to burst open, revealing that Yihdra's Golem was the cause and was en route to crash into the two. Hoeru quickly grabs the mage's arm and dives out of the way of the robotic familiar. Suddenly, a voice emerges from a cloaked figure on the Golem's arm, "You guys get out of here, this Golem's been kidnapping people!" The figure jumps off while kicking the golem in the other direction and lands next to the two. Taking off his coat, the man was revealed to have bright red and spikey hair and looked to be around the same age as Hoeru. He was wearing a red shirt and a specialized jacket with a pentagon shaped logo containing 'K5'. While bizarre for Yihdra, Hoeru found his appearance very familiar.
"I don't know how this monster got here, but I'm gonna stop it!" the newcomer proclaimed. However, Yihdra was quick to correct him, "It's not a monster! That's the familiar I use for the proficiency test."
"Come to think of it, I recall something like this on the application. This means the test has already begun, right?"
"No?! You just barged in here on your own!"
The adventurer kicked away the Golem and pulled out a strange adhesive strip from a side compartment, "Then let's get started! Bond Plate! G–" The bright red man suddenly paused his transformation when he had to do a double take when looking at Hoeru. The two adventurers locked eyes, and then it clicked for both of them.
" IT'S YOU!" they both shouted. While the red-haired newcomer said it with surprise and glee, Hoeru's tone was more in annoyance and disbelief. "I didn't think I'd see you so soon after that last job," he said with a laugh. "Wait, if you're here, then you were trying to take the test too, right? Alright then, Let's beat this thing together!" He then got back into position, taking the band-aid looking plate and inserting it into his wrist device.
"Bond Plate, Go!" SPLATURN!
"What's with that strange voice coming from that gear? And why is he posing so weirdly?"
"Bond Armor Change!"
In an instant, red-colored spandex began forming around his body. "You might want to step back a little," Hoeru warned her. "Wha- What do you mean by that?" She asked.
"Burning Brightly! The Warrior of Feverish Friendship! KIZUNA RED!"
*BOOM!*
"WHAT THE HELL! HOW DID HE MANAGE TO TRANSFORM WITHOUT USING MANA!? WHY WAS THERE AN EXPLOSION WHEN HE FINISHED CHANGING?!"
"Tch, showoff."
Kizuna Red emerged from the flames and continued the fight with the Golem. He dodged an overhead slam and countered with a dive kick. One punch from the Golem would be retaliated by a rapid fire of ten other punches. It was clear who was going to be the victor of this fight. But something still felt off.
"Hey!" Red called Hoeru. "Aren't you going to join in?" With a sigh, Hoeru took off the ring from his right hand. A golden glow then surrounded his hand. Once dimmed, his hand now held a golden gauntlet with a large blue colored blade coming out of the back side of the hand. He then placed the ring into a slot on the back of the gauntlet.
"ENGAGE!" CLAP YOUR HANDS!
With the announcement coming from his equipment, Hoeru started dancing and clapping to the beat. In the background, Yihdra was watching this… interesting transformation unfold. "Wha- What the hell is he doing now? Is... IS HE DANCING?! AND IS THAT MUSIC COMING FROM HIS GLOVE?!"
With the final clap over his head, an image of a wolf's face appears on his head and a circle forms on his chest. In the middle of his transformation, the Golem took notice of Hoeru's glow and went to strike at him. "Hey, watch out!" Kizuna Red warned. But Hoeru was ready, and he caught the punch while the transformation finished. His red and black armor appeared, and his helmet had gold plating in the image of a wolf.
GOZYU WOLF!
Gozyu Wolf brought the Golem closer to his helmet and released a deafening howl attack.
"AWWWOOOOOO!"
The shockwave from the howl sent the Golem flying back while tearing off its arm. The sound encased the entire room and shattered any window nearby. Yihdra and Poseidon were given ringing eardrums, while Kizuna Red was just fine. However, the sparkles in his eyes were so obvious that they leaked out of his visors.
"WOAH, that transformation was so cool! Even your suit never fails to amaze me!" Suddenly, he heard the Golem slowly rise. It seems that it hasn't been demolished yet. "Oh, let me finish this!" He said as his hand lit on fire. Charging straight at his enemy, Kizuna Red gave the finishing blow.
"BURNING KIZUNA PUNCH!"
Kizuna Red's attack completely melted the Golem's body as his fist went straight through it. Giving out its last cry, the Golem fell to its knees in defeat.
*BOOM!*
…Which resulted in another random explosion.
" You know, I was gonna try and analyze these two maniacs, but now… " Yihdra looked around her testing room to see massive craters, a giant hole made in her wall, broken glass from every shattered window, multiple fires that were likely to spread further, and in the center of it all were the two indescribable red warriors. " Maybe I should get as far away as possible to keep what's left of my sanity."
"Ya know, I think the two of us make a pretty good team, don't you think?" Red said while holding his fist up, waiting for Hoeru to fist bump him. Sadly, the bump never came. He turned his head to see why Hoeru was leaving him hanging, only to be met with a giant metal golem fist flying towards him.
CRASH!
The fist crashed into where Red was standing and made another hole in the floor.
"Wha- Why the hell did you do that!? You just killed him!" Yihdra yelled.
"Because he was starting to get really annoying, and I didn't kill him. I know what attacks that guy can shake off, he's been through worse," Hoeru said while walking toward the crater. He was expecting an unconscious body to be under the fist. But, there wasn't even a hint of red present at the hole.
"So, does this mean we're good now?"
Everyone turned to the voice to see Red completely unharmed and standing behind the giant fist, still in his armor. "I realized now that even after all those jobs together, we never really introduced ourselves. So, the name's Asagaki Togo. But, you can call me Red!"
With an annoyed deep breath and sight, Hoeru responded, "Okay then, You can call me The Predator," Gozyu Wolf made a circle with his left hand and put it up to his visor, making it look like Red's head was in the center. "Because now, you're my Prey," he proclaims as swipes his arm and starts charging towards Red.
"WHOA?! H-HEY!" He yelped before jumping back to dodge the series of slashes. "Ok, I know now that we might have started on the wrong foot, but we don't have to fight like this!"
"What the hell are you talking about? We're destined to fight, plus this payback after all those jobs we had together. Even better, I'll get your Sentai Ring to stop you from ever being a nuisance to me ever again."
"But we finished those jobs really fast! And I told you before, it's just a coincidence that the guild keeps giving us the same jobs!" Red pleaded as he kept dodging the Wolf's fury of slashes. Gozyu Wolf goes for an overhead attack, but Red catches the attack with his hands. "I may have been a little too excited when trying to form a bond–"
"It was more than just being annoying you idiot!" Hoeru interrupted. "I would have looked past it if you weren't the reason as to why my pay keeps getting docked!" Overpowering Red's grasp, he was able to make a clean downward slash on Red's chest. With sparks flying off his chest, Red was sent tumbling backward trying to regain his footing.
"Wha–what do you mea–"
"Don't say that you don't know! What do you think happens to all the drops of the monsters that you keep exploding?"
"I–Um," Red stuttered while trying to come up with a response. He then reflected on all the jobs he took on recently, and then it suddenly dawned on him. Most of his enemies exploded after their defeats and he had never considered that their drops would also be valuable to his employers. But he really hadn't considered the fact that these actions would negatively affect his fellow adventurers.
"You know in hindsight, I may have gone a little overboard with the explosions, hehe…" He said while laughing it off.
Hoeru merely replied with a blank stare while clicking a button on the handle of the Tega Sword.
FINISH FINGER! WOLF!
*BOOM!*
Meanwhile…
"I can't believe that guy just left us here."
"Ugh, I think that Golem bruised my ribs."
The two rejected adventurers, Zatsu and Lain, were just saved by a cloaked stranger and are now leaving the Arvoln Residence grounds. Now bruised and demoralized, they make their way back to the Guild Hall to take another quest in order to salvage the half-day they just wasted. "Don't worry about it, man. We'll head straight to the guild master and take the highest paying job!" Lain exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's just… who does that witch think she is!? Besides, the only thing I said to her was the truth!"
"Don't let the words of that hard ass get to you. Once we rise through the ranks, we'll be the greatest adventurers this world has ever seen!"
"Oh? You wish to be the best that this world has seen?"
"Hell yeah we ar– Wait, was that you who said that?"
"Said what?"
Suddenly, a dark portal appears behind Lain and two hands emerge from it. They grab his head and start pulling him through. Lain struggles to free himself from the grip. The mysterious hands overpower his struggle and drag his body into the darkness, leaving behind his fellow adventurer to listen to his last screams.
"L-LAIN! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Zatsu's confusion was short lived as he felt two hands grasping onto his ankles. He looks down to see the ground beneath him has turned into the same color of the portal that took his partner. His body was sinking into the darkness as he tried to call for anybody's help. But nobody came. After the two adventurers disappeared, the portals reopened and two monstrous figures emerged.
One had bulky black armor with crimson colored detailing resembling thorns. The helmet's design looked to be a mix between a knight and a gladiator, covering the monster's whole face. He wielded a massive GreatSword whose size would make even the strongest humans struggle to pick up, but this monster was strong enough to wield it with one hand like a normal Shortsword. In the off hand was a shield that could cover most of his upper body with a symbol of a judge scale.
The other had a dark green hooded cloak that covered their whole body with holes showing its wear and tear. A black bandana covered most of his face, leaving only the eyes visible. He was wearing leather body armor and pads. Much lighter compared to the other monster, but more capable of silent movement. A knife holder rested by his waist and two hidden daggers resided on his lower legs. On his back was a bow, but no quiver, or arrows, were seen on his body.
What was most interesting were the identical belts that both of them were wearing. These belts were made to look like pro wrestlers' champion belts with a distinct No.1 crest. These were No.1 Monsters from the No-One World. They both looked at each other and nodded silently before heading back towards the Arvoln Estate.
Returning to the skirmish between Kizuna Red and Gozyu Wolf…
FINISH FINGER! WOLF!
SHAKE HAND DOCKING!
Gozyu Wolf was still on the offensive while Kizuna Red was trying to de-escalate the situation and calm down the raging wolf. Using the Cooperation Calibur, Red was able to block most of Hoeru's incoming strikes. But, the Wolf's attacks were too relentless for him to handle for a long period of time. Sooner or later his body would give in to the exhaustion. The only way to survive now would be to try and talk his way out of this fight.
On the other side of the room, Yihdra and Poseidon were observing this battle behind the shield of the mage's OverShade spell, blocking pieces of debris and any possible stray attacks. "Lady Yihdra, perhaps we should try to stop those two delinquents, or at least get them to fight somewhere else?" Poseidon suggested.
Yihdra responded quickly, "No can do. Right now is the perfect, and possibly only, opportunity for me to assess what these two are. Calling these two abnormal would be the understatement of the decade. Talking weapons, transforming without the use of magic, I need to see how this plays out… plus I don't want to be caught in that crossfire."
"I really don't know what you're talking about! I don't know anything about rings or what a Tega Sword is or any of the other Red Warriors," He pleaded with heavy breathing. His words sadly fell on deaf ears as Gozyu Wolf continued to charge at him, leading to him trying for a jumping overhead slash.
Red managed to roll away and was able to grapple Wolf's arms, drag them over his own shoulder, and bind them together. This would leave both Rangers in a stalemate position, unable to use their weapons and unable to free themselves without the risk of getting attacked.
This was the perfect moment for Red to try and enlighten Hoeru about bonds and friendship and such, but he merely tuned it out while trying to free himself from Red's grapple. Sadly, the other Red Ranger was stronger than he looked and kept his grip firm.
Red kept going on his rambling until he noticed a shine coming from his opponent's weapon. "Hey, is your glove supposed to be shining like that?" he asked. " What? I haven't done anything to trigger it yet. Unless…" Hoeru began to sniff the air and picked up an unfortunately familiar scent. " No, it can't be!"
*BOOM!*
Suddenly, arrows burst from the front door and were on a direct course to pierce the two Red Rangers. With quick thinking, Hoeru kicked back against Red's legs, causing them both to fall over and dodge the incoming barrage. The arrows went straight over them, but instead hit Yihdra's OverShade spell, shattering it instantly and knocking the mage and her butler back to the wall.
cough* "Wha– what the hell was that?" Yihdra asked while struggling to get back up.
Emerging from the smoke, the two new No.1 Monsters stepped forward. The one with the bulky armor spoke first in a gentlemanly tone, "Hello there, you must be Miss Arvoln. I hope you can excuse us for the destructive introduction. I am Paladin No.1, and my sneaky friend here is Rogue No.1, we are here to take up that quest. Something about taking you to collect Mana Metal?"
"Now why would I hire you after you almost killed me!?"
"Because Miss Arvoln, not only are we from another world, we are the No-One World's No.1 Adventuring Party! If we can't complete your quest and fulfill your desires, then no one can, " Paladin No.1 proudly proclaimed.
"Eh? But your party is just two people, not to mention that you don't even have any magic users either, kind of poor class distribution," Red mentioned.
"Oh, well that's because our last member will be here soon. She'll round out the party just fine, once Miss Arvoln accepts, hehe…" he replied with a devilish laugh.
"Every instinct in my body is telling me to refuse every offer this… thing is making. But if what he says is true, then this might be my only chance to reinstate myself as The Royal Scepter." She then looks back to her father's portrait, "My only chance to fulfill our dream."
Hoeru could already sniff out this bait from a mile away. "NO! Arvoln! Don't listen to what this monster says!" He warned. But, it was too late. A portal opened up behind the mage and out came hands that grabbed her arms.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"LADY YIHDRA!" "ARVOLN!"
Poseidon and the Red Rangers' attempts to save her were futile, as the mage was pulled into the darkness. Instead of a monster coming out from the portal immediately, a distorted voice was heard from it.
"Frolic Merrily, Wind Spirit Pleasure! SYLPHIDE RIDE!" A massive burst of wind pushed out of the portal and knocked over the butler and Rangers. When the winds subsided, the humans saw what monster had taken the mage.
The monster had a more feminine physique compared to her teammates. Her outfit wasn't shy about showing off her… large assets. Her mage hat was as large as it was before, now always covering the eyes. Her hair was pink colored, extended down to her lower back, and somehow almost as spiky as Red's hair. Her cloak was dark purple with a magenta zigzag pattern. Finishing off her appearance were black leggings and purple high heels. Like the other monsters, around her waist was a No.1 Champion Belt.
"Thank you boys for waiting for me," she said while turning to the other three in the room. "I am Magus No.1, the third member of the No.1 Adventuring Party."
"You… What did you do to my Lady Yihdra?" Poseidon said in a grim tone while pulling out a comically large pair of scissors.
"I've dealt with monsters like you before. Using the desires of others to further your malicious goals. Even if you're not a Relationship Ender, I'll put a stop to your evil ways!" Red declared.
The two were about to showdown with the No.1 Monsters until Hoeru stopped them both from advancing. "Hold it! Even if we fight, we can't defeat them or save Arvoln."
"What? Why can't we?"
Hoeru took out his ring from the Tega Sword and transformed back into his civilian clothing, "These monsters play by different rules. The only way to defeat them and save the people they possessed is to beat them at their own game and take their title as No.1."
"Oh? So this is the famous Gozyu Wolf that we heard about? In a battle royale where everyone is fighting to achieve their dream, you're the only one who's fighting just to find what your dream is. You know, Fire Candle and Garyudo would just not shut up about you." Magus No.1 commented.
Hoeru gave a little smirk and set the bait for a No.1 Battle, "You may be the best in the No-One World, but that title means nothing here. So, let's prove it. Our parties will go on the quest that Arvoln requested. Whoever completes the quest first will win their party the title of No.1."
"Sounds enticing, but there's just one problem. You don't have a party, do you?" Magus No.1 pointed out. Looking back to assess the room, Hoeru gave a small sigh when he realized his only option and pointed at Red, "That guy back there is my partner and we're a Party."
Red gave a large surprised gasp and changed back into his civilian clothing while rushing over to give Hoeru a side hug. He was bursting with excitement and ready to embrace the potential new bond that was just formed… only for the other Red Ranger to shove him away the moment he put his arm around him.
"Hmph, and he criticized us for having only two members." Paladin No.1 mumbled. "Alright then, the battle is on! I hope that you don't make this too easy for us." With that last statement, the three No.1 Monsters vanished through the circular window frame, making their way to the dungeon where the Mana Metal is located.
"So… I don't think I ever got your name. In case you forgot, I'm Asagaki Togo! But you can just call me Red!" he said while holding out his hand for a handshake. Instead of returning the gesture, Hoeru grabbed both of his arms and searched his hands for a certain ring, only to find a strange bracelet rather than a Tega Sword or a Sentai Ring. "You're really not a Universe Warrior, are you?" he questioned.
"I still have no idea what that is," Red responded bluntly.
With another sigh and scratching his head, Hoeru continued talking, "Let me start by saying sorry for attacking you. To be fair, you're the only Red colored warrior with transforming armor that doesn't have a ring contract. Now that I know, It'll be easier working with you. But, that doesn't mean we're friends. After this job, I'm ditching this town and probably heading up north. Clearly, since this place isn't big enough for the both of us."
Instead of backing off like Hoeru wanted, Red was only more motivated to form a bond with him in the limited time they had left together, "Well then, I gotta make a bond with you as quickly as possible. Since you still haven't given me a name yet, how about a nickname like Wolfy?" That was enough for Hoeru to growl at Red, signaling for him to shut up, "It's Tono Hoeru, I've had it with the dog nicknames already."
Poseidon made a coughing noise to get their attention, "I assume that the both of you have finally made amends?" With a slight nod from both, he handed Red a map and continued, "Then I suggest you both head to the Wakenark Ruins. I can lend you any transportation you need, just please come back with my Lady Yihdra safe and sound."
Hoeru gave a glance at the map and pouted in annoyance, "Tch, with carriages we'd be lucky to even get there by sundown. By then, those monsters would have already beaten us."
"Oh! I know just the thing to get us there in less than an hour!" Red exclaimed while running outside. The other two followed with intrigue.
Taking another Bond Plate from his side compartment, Red inserted it into his Bond Bracelet. But instead of a transformation, Red punched up into the air, and out came a beam of light from his hand, " COME FORTH, KIZUNA BEASTS!" KIZUNA BEASTS!
The beam of light parted the clouds above, and behind the clouds revealed to be the Kizuna Beasts. Frien-D: a Red T-Rex. Trustorm: a Blue Bird, Promistriker: a Yellow Tiger, Unikong: a Green Gorilla, and Lovemarriner: a Pink Dolphin.
"NOW! BOND MERGER!" BANSOU GATTAI!
With the sequence initiated, the five mechas began transforming. Promistriker and Lovemarriner shifted to become the legs, Unikong split apart to become the arms, Trustorm stretched its body to become the wings, and finally, Frien-D transformed to become the main body that connected everything together. Once completed, the five animal mechas become one giant robot, Kizuna Five's signature giant mecha.
"MAXIMUM KIZUNA KAISER!"
With the combination completed, Red and Hoeru were teleported directly into the cockpit. Inside it was a control center with five color coded terminals.
whistle* "Nice. A lot bigger than the Tega Sword's cockpit." Hoeru complimented while looking around. "I could fit a couch over there, maybe some plants near the visor for sunlight and decor–" Sadly, his interior designer plans were interrupted by Red dragging him over to the control terminals.
"You know how to control one of these, right?" he asked. Hoeru then began to fiddle around with the blue controller, causing the whole mecha to shake as he had accidentally activated the jet wings. "Eh, not that much different from the Tega Sword," he responded. "I'll take that as a yes! Alright then, Maximum Kizuna Kaiser, To Wakenark Ruins! Full Speed! Non-Stop!"
With the jets at full propulsion, the giant mecha ascended to the skies. Looking back at the worried buttler, Red made the robot give him a thumbs up for reassurance. Then with the sound of a sonic boom, the Maximum Kizuna Kaiser blasted away to complete its rescue mission.
Watching the mechanical giant go beyond the horizon, Poseidon could only hope that those adventurers would return with his Lady Yidhra safe and sound, "Godspeed Red Warriors." With his fears put on hold, the butler returns to the manor. But now that all the chaos has resided, he only now could truly assess the damages that the two adventurers had caused. A large part of the building had been nearly decimated, honestly surprising that the walls were still standing. Not only that but the entire front lawn had been covered by giant footprints.
"Now, how the hell am I going to fix all this?"
CHAPTER 1 END
Author's Note
Thank you for reading my new story. Gozyuger really surprised me with how good it was and I am definitely watching each episode when it comes out. Anyone who has only seen Red Ranger Isekai and wants to dip their toes into Super Sentai and Tokusatsu, I recommend Gozyuger to be your first season. Despite being an anniversary season, you don't need to watch any other season of Super Sentai to enjoy Gozyuger. For people who have only seen Super Sentai, you might have heard about Red Ranger Isekai when the anime was airing. This series has a very clear love for Tokusatsu and it is genuinely more Sentai then it is Isekai. I highly suggest reading the manga and watching the anime, because the anime has a bunch of original scenes that aren't in the manga that give more detail on Kizuna Five that almost makes them feel like an actual Super Sentai team. Thank you again and I hope you enjoy this story as I continue writing this story.
