Ginga Senpuu Braiger (Galactic Whirlwind Braiger)

Evil laughter echoes in the shadow of the night sky's twinkling stars,

burdening the universe with the tears of people crying from world to world!

GALACTIC CYCLONE

BRYGER

Call Galactic Cyclone Bryger - they will arrive in a second!

J9, merciless J9, even the outlaws

from the asteroid belt tremble before you, J9 Cosmorangers!

Dash through the void of space!

Bry-Thunder! Bry-Thunder!

Fly through the endless light-years, the glimmer of stars!

Bry-Star!

Spreading plasma---

The-the-the Mark of the Wolf!

He-he-he is...

Galactic Cyclone... Galactic Cyclone...

Bryger!

Bryger!

Bryger!

Merciless J9

This is Earth's most important space base, Africa Plate.

Humanity's joint space development program progressed rapidly with the turn of the 21st century.

Living space has spread from Earth to every nook and cranny of the solar system,

and the first stage of the Solar Colonization Plan has been completed.

The year is 2111.

Passengers of Flight MMC 9032 headed towards Jupiter and the asteroid belt: the ticket examination will take place at 3:00PM,

in the third gate of the sixth platform.

Please, be prepared.

Here, the checking is OK. Please head to Sixth Platform, Third Gate, Point Four for embarking.

I'm with the Armed Forces Intelligence Office.

I would like to know if the man in this picture is in the passenger list.

Very good, sir. My, how handsome. What a gentle-looking soldier!

He's quite the shooter, actually. He can take out a fly from the top of a tree 100m away.

What is his name?

Jotaro Kidou. AWOL from the army's Special Marksmanship Team.

Very good. Do you know where he is going?

Not really. All we have is that he was supposed to have come to Africa Plate.

Understood. Please wait a moment.

Yech! Not that way.

Not again?

Tsk! Rejected.

Oh well... looks like I'm not saying bye bye to Earth unless I do things nice and quiet.

I guess I've got to dress up if I'm going to avoid them and sneak away, huh?

Huh? Guess we're here.

Passengers of Flight MMC 9032, please pick up your luggage at Point Six.

Oh, it's here, it's here! My unseen lover.

What? Is your girlfriend inside that thing?

You could say that. Cars are my love, though.

I haven't laid eyes on her yet, but I know she's awesome. They want me to test drive the thing, you see.

OK, take this to Free Port quickly, will you?

Understood. So, where are you going?

West J District.

West J District?

What's with that face? Is it that cool a place?

What are you talking about? West J District of the Belt is the most lawless place in the Solar System!

I'm begging you, don't go there, alright? Alright?

Yes, that's not a good place!

If you go there, you're never sure if you're coming out!

- Forget about it, please! You're still young. - That's right!

That's quite the reputation. But on the other hand, I happen to have an interest in that location...

They're late! And they said they were coming here quickly to pick me up and everything.

Yo! You're Speedy Bowie, right?

Uh, I am indeed Steven Bowie, AKA Speedy Bowie. And you, little guy, are...

I'm Shin Ling Ho, Mr. Isaac's right hand man. Come on, they're waiting for you!

So this sea of meteorites is the Asteroid Belt, huh?

- It's kind of quiet, though. - It's just ice around here.

But if you keep going... look!

So this is the notorious West J District.

We'll arrive at J9 soon.

Huh?

Man, this is bad luck!

Whuh? What's going on?

What is it, Chief Macarone?

Well... a tanker loaded with chlorophyll heading for Jupiter was attacked by some people and went missing.

Huh? But that's got nothing to do with us.

Oh, really?

Isaac... he's not up to anything, is he?

Hey! Mr. Isaac is no bad guy!

Well, in all my years no one has ever made an honest living at West J District!

That old codger!

Indeed. I'm not fond of the gentleman either.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Look! Soon you'll be able to see J9, where we live!

Whu-where is it?

There. The biggest asteroid in that field.

That one? But isn't that just a plain old rock?

That's how it looks from the outside, yeah.

This is Shin. Open up the special entrance - I've brought a guest!

Good work, Shin.

Mr. Isaac!

Welcome, Steven "Speedy" Bowie. Let us see the contents of your luggage now.

Bowie, you are the only one who can ride this wild horse. I want you to become our teammate.

Hey, hey, time out, time out. You want to hire me as a pilot?

I don't mean to brag, but I'm the reigning champion of the greatest race in the Solar System, Le Mans Des Saules, you know?

Hiring me is not going to be cheap.

I didn't say I was going to hire you. I said I wanted you to become our teammate.

Anyway, take a look at the wild horse.

Yeah, Bowie! I wanted to take a look at this!

Bry-Thunder

Awesome! Just how I like them.

I'm having the chills here!

That's Mr. Isaac's custom-made Bry-Thunder. Of course it's great!

Yeah, and since it's custom, it comes with quite the extra.

Huh?

Um, hi there. I'm the extra.

And now everyone is here.

So you're the Number One from Earth's famous Special Marksmanship Team, Jotaro Kido, the Blaster Kid!

And you must be the famous Speedy Bowie!

Kid, Bowie.

Shall we drop this farce here, and have a toast as teammates?

Hey, wait a minute. I did come here because you invited me, but I haven't decided if I wanted to join up yet, right?

- Same here. - Mr. Isaac!

- Sis! - J9 Cosmorangers... listen to my request...

This is Professor Keyser, the man who advocated a special chlorophyll theory related to the Jupiter Terraforming Project.

Please... recover the chlorophyll tank quickly... and take it to the terraforming research post at QR7 in Jupiter.

We are remaking the atmosphere... with that special chlorophyll, in order to turn Jupiter into a living place for human beings!

But the corrupt officials of the Jupiter Terraforming Project are disturbing our plans by all means possible!

They fear that they will all be sacked from the headquarters in Earth if the project is successful!

I know this story too! Those people of the JTP are always making life hell for these folk who are trying to do something right for us!

They deserve no mercy!

I understand your situation well. But our help means business.

If you mean the commission money, we have already delivered a 3,000,000-bollar credit plate to Mr. Poncho...

- Poncho? - Yes. Why do you think I came here to validate it?

Hang in there!
