comment
Juukou B-Fighter is Toei's 14th entry in its Metal Heroes series, and the first of its B-Fighter series. Its footage was used to create Big Bad Beetleborgs. Unlike its predecessor, it is military themed.Whilst investigating a sudden mass swarming of insects, researcher Takuya Kai of the Earth Academia meets the mystical Insect Elder Guru. He tells him that the insects sense the invasion of the extra-dimensional Jamahl Empire, and are preparing to fight them. With Guru's help, Takuya and his mentor Professor Mukai develop three Power Armor suits infused with the power of beetles. One suit is entrusted to Takuya, the other two to Daisaku Katagiri and Rei Hayama. They become the B-Fighters, who regularly oppose the schemes of Jamahl and its three generals.It was followed by B-Fighter Kabuto.The B-Fighters: Takuya Kai/Blue Beet: The Leader; an insect researcher from Earth Academia who is the first to learn of Jamahl's evil schemes. Daisaku Katagiri/G-Stag: Big Lancer; a tree doctor who claims to hear the voices of trees. Rei Hayama/Reddle: Fragilistic Chick; an animal instructor. She left to do animal research in South America and was replaced by Mai Takatori.Allies: Insect Elder Guru: The Mentor. Kabuto: Essentially, the fourth B-Fighter; Guru's Beetle-armored son who left him to pursue a career as a weapons supplier.Jamahl Empire: Emperor Gaohm: The Big Bad Jera: The Dark Action Girl, who leads the warrior-based monsters. Schwartz: The robotic Evil Genius, who leads the machine-based monsters. General Gigaro: The Brute, who leads the animal-based monsters. Sorceress Jagul: Another Evil Genius; the Sixth Ranger responsible for Shadow's creation. Actually killed off shortly after, but comes back once every other villain is dead. Shadow/Black Beet: Takuya's Evil Twin.

Phantom Zone: For the first time in years, we get one in the form of the Gaohm Zone. The fight scenes which take place in it range from slightly weird to flat-out insane. Some parts (such as one instance where G-Stag ends up getting randomly slashed with switchblades on a busy street) are outright bizarre.

No Ontological Inertia: Actually averted for once. Even after Gaohm is destroyed, the Jamahl Hole doesn't disappear right away. The B-Fighters commented that it was a very nasty legacy for Gaohm to leave behind, and it takes G-Stag and Reddle using their Beet Machines to shoot it to finally do away with it.

Put on a Bus: Rei leaves the show in between episodes 21 and 22 to go help out wildlife in South America.note In real life, the actress playing Rei was injured during the filming of episode 14, which led to her screen time in the next handful of episodes being reduced before she dropped out of the production entirely.
