The Brave Series (or Yuusha Series) is an anime and toy Super Robot Thematic Series created by animation studio Sunrise and toy company Takara (now TakaraTomy).In The '90s, Takara brought an end to animated "Generation 1" Transformers material in Japan, following a chilly reception to 1989's Transformers Victory and an overall worldwide decline in popularity resulting in a franchise hiatus lasting until 1996's Beast Warsnote In terms of television, that is; both the Transformers toyline as well as the comics by Marvel retained popularity with Western consumers way into the 90s, which also led to the cancellation of the OVA series Transformers Zone. Sensing that the coming Japanese kids of the decade wanted something different and wanting to remain relevant in the market, Takara struck a cooperative deal with Sunrise (which had just recently become one of the most famous studios in Japan due to the explosive success of the Gundam series) to develop a new television franchise and set of toy lines, one that would also be separate from the (then fraught and difficult) relationship Takara had developed with their American Transformers partner Hasbro. This would all lead to the development of the Brave Series.The Brave Series includes:Main Series Brave Exkaiser (1990) The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird (1991) The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn (1992) The Brave Express Might Gaine (1993) Brave Police J-Decker (1994) The Brave of Gold Goldran (1995) Brave Command Dagwon (1996) The King of Braves GaoGaiGar (1997-1998) The King of Braves GaoGaiGar: FINAL (2000)—OVA sequel The King of Kings: GaoGaiGar Vs. Betterman (2016-2021)—Web Serial Novel sequelOther Works Brave Universe Sworgrader Brave SagaA ninth series, The Saint of Braves Baan Gaan, was planned but never produced. The material meant to be used in this canceled series was later recycled into the plots for the Brave Saga Video Game and concepts from it later appeared in the unrelated Super Robot anime GEAR Fighter Dendoh (along with a few concepts from a planned GaoGaiGar sequel). There's also another video game, New Century Brave Wars (Which includes Might Gaine, J-Decker, Dagwon and Gaogaigar, as well as Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh), which has its own Original Generation mech, Quantum Leap Rayserver.With the overall global success of GaoGaiGar, Sunrise launched its continuation project starting with a premium disc bundled in The King of Braves GaoGaiGar: FINAL—GRAND GLORIOUS GATHERING DVD Box Set titled The King of Braves GaoGaiGar: FINAL—Project Z, along with the novelization of The King of Braves GaoGaiGar: FINAL, releasing further details and it’s story connections with Betterman. In year 2016, Sunrise fulfilled their goal of merging the two series together with a Web Serial Novel version of the project, King of Kings: GaoGaiGar vs. Betterman.To the surprise of many, for GaoGaiGar's 25th anniversary, a new Brave Series was announced in the form of a manga; Brave Universe Sworgrader, which will be a full-on crossover with all previous 7 installments together in a single universe.2024's Bang Brave Bang Bravern is a Spiritual Successor that many people mistook for a new entry in the franchise, due to the involvement of Masami Obari, along with similarities in mecha and logo designs for the project. The production crew involved mentioned in interviews/news reports that the show is its own thing.Not to be confused with a Manhua series of the same name. | |

Captain Ersatz: Going back to their previous series, many shows tend to feature intelligent robots who could easily pay homage towards the Transformers franchise. In fact, several villain and ally robots are Reused Character Design from Transformers. | |

Super Robot Genre | |
| Brave Series / int_5369968f | comment |
Super Robot Genre: Every single series. GaoGaiGar comes the closest to the Real Robot Genre due to everything being designed to work in real life so the toys would be accurate, but that's where the real-robot stuff ends and the courage-powered giant robots begins. | |

Central Theme | |
| Brave Series / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Director Shinji Takamatsu laid out the formula to input one solid theme aside from "Bravery" for each of his works: Might Gaine: "Justice." J-Decker: "Heart." Goldran: "Adventure." | |

The Protagonist | |
| Brave Series / int_618c7492 | comment |
All major protagonists and kid heroes would wear their non-combat, normal attire primarily in the combination of red and yellow (with green being the 3rd color in-line.) However, if they are paired up or have more than one Kid Hero/teammate, only one person will wear the staple colors; in this case, they don't need to be the main hero to wear them. | |

Chiba is also known to voice one-to-two walk-ons in each Brave title that he directs, most notably Cain of GaoGaiGar. | |

Hot-Blooded: A regular staple of the franchise. How much Hot Blood will boil depends however on the show. Gao!Gai!!!GAAAAAAR!!! is a particularly famous example in the wider mecha genre. | |

Cool Car | |
| Brave Series / int_8a295a46 | comment |
Cool Car: Naturally given the nature of this franchise. The police car in particular is usually assigned as the principal robot, because nothing can surpass the police car when it comes to proclaiming "justice and peace!" Also has a side-effect of leaving local policemen dumbfounded that their police car just vanished out of nowhere. | |

Color Motif | |
| Brave Series / int_b869b5b1 | comment |
Color Motif: All major protagonists and kid heroes would wear their non-combat, normal attire primarily in the combination of red and yellow (with green being the 3rd color in-line.) However, if they are paired up or have more than one Kid Hero/teammate, only one person will wear the staple colors; in this case, they don't need to be the main hero to wear them. This concept has been played with amongst members of The Brave Express Team. While Might Senpuuji managed to downplay this for himself,note He does don the color combo from time-to-time, but not prominent. people tend to forget his non-action teammate Hamada wore the yellow/red combo in place of him via a yellow shirt with tiny red brand logo. If you pull back to see the whole picture, Might (when in his red combat vest) and Hamada (with his yellow shirt) completed the red / yellow combo as a unit together. | |

Ridiculously Human Robot: With some exceptions, most of the mecha are very human-like in nature. Even the ones that aren't usually can transform into a more human-like form. | |
