Synopsis[]
In the 90s, blending old-school Super Robot anime with elements of the recently-ended Transformers series, aired the "Braves" (Yuusha) franchise. With bodies of steel, hearts of fire, and oddly handsome faces, each one from "Brave Exkaiser" (1990) to "King of Braves GaoGaiGar" (1997) stood as a selfless guardian of love, peace and courage. So when an isekai princess tries to summon a "Yuusha", who better to answer her call?
…wait, this is what the artist of the Knights' & Magic manga does in his spare time? Guy must really love his job.

Exkaiser 【エクスカイザー, Ekusukaizā】 On Earth, it is fused to the Hoshikawa family's private sports car. In its red robot form, a lion's face appears by inverting its chest. When in its "My Car" mode, it has gull-wing doors with a center pillar. When changing to the original mode, the transparent windows are covered with a blue shield, and the instrument panel turns around to become the original console. In addition, a lion's crest appears on the hood, the shape is completely different from that of the Car mode, with a rear booster nozzle, and both the front and rear license plates are removed. He is a serious person with a strong sense of justice and a sense of mission as a police officer, and he does not mind taking a life, even if it is an evil person. He is good at command, leadership, and intelligence gathering. He recruited the Max Team and the Laker Brothers to establish the Kaisers. When confronting the enemy, he often shouts, "Geister rogues!" and then points out the evil of the enemy and says, " This Exkaiser will not allow it!" and then he would say, "This Exkaiser will not allow it!."He usually spends his days in the garage of the Hoshikawa family, listening to the radio and gathering information about the events of the world. Occasionally, incidents are uncovered through such methods as when Kota tells him about the news that Geister might be involved in. As energy life forms, they do not have human habits such as sleeping and eating and are unaware of human lifestyles and body systems. They do not know humans or the Earth, such as thinking a baby in a pregnant woman's stomach is a parasitic organism. For example, when Kota said, "He is worse than Geister," when Kota's Kaiser breath was taken by a naughty boy, he recognized the naughty boy as a more vicious criminal than Geister. In this way, he sometimes receives advice from Kota, and sometimes he sends him advice on his problems from an alien's point of view, thus deepening his friendship with Kota. In episode 10, he receives a parking ticket even though he is a police officer. He is also good friends with Mario, although he does not understand the language, and he often gets Mom to pull him over when he gets in the way during dispatches. When Kota asked him, "Will I see you again?" as he was leaving the earth after his battle with Geister, he replied, "I can't promise that." When Kota asks him if he will see her again after the battle with Geister, he replies, "I can't promise that," but he also expresses his emotional connection with Kota. In this Series, Exkaiser was summoned as a Hero. |
