Story

Special Rescue Police Winspector Sailor Otaku39s Weeablog WEEABOO SHOGUN PRESENTS Special Rescue

Special Rescue Police Winspector takes place in a near-future Japan of the year 1999. As the country is facing a great threat from criminals, new methods of protecting people are created. The Winspector squad consisting of the robot brothers Walter and Bikel along with Ryouma wearing the Fire Tector armor defend against super powered threats ranging from mob attacks to scientific experiments gone terribly wrong. It (and Solbrain) are unique among tokusatsu as there is no central villain.

Team

Special Rescue Police Winspector Figuarts Fire quotSpecial Rescue Police Winspectorquot

  • Ryoma Kagawa/Fire (香川 竜馬/ファイヤー, Kagawa Ryōma/Faiyā): 23 years old. Ryoma is the leader of the team and the only human member. Like Masaki, he is also a Police Superintendent. Kagawa is an orphan skilled in martial arts and knows five languages. His primary means of transportation is a purpose-built car named Winsquad. When initiating his transformation to Fire he calls out "Suit Up!" (着化アップ!, Chakka Appu!). He is then equipped with an energy sword - his primary all-purpose weapon - and a suit of red armor named the Crush Tector (クラステクター, Kurasu Tekutā), which offers him protection but begins to cook him after a period of time. There are also other, more specialized weapons and tools available. Ryoma has a sister. He later joined the Solbrain team as Knight Fire.
  • Bikel (バイクル, Baikuru): Walter's "twin brother", Bikel is one of two robots who assist Ryouma. His primary means of transportation is his motorcycle. However he also has a wheel integrated into his chest section which he can use to "land-surf" when no vehicle is available. His weaponry consists of twin lances, which can be combined into a longer staff and can alternatively function as the handles of his motorcycle or coin bombs. Bikel's armor is yellow. Being a master of jokes and sometimes a little inane, he's often subject to Walter's anger. Speaks in Nagoya dialect.
  • Walter (ウォルター, Worutā): Bikel's "twin brother", Walter is the other of the two robots in the team. Being equipped with wings enables him to fly, thus requiring no special vehicle. His armor is turquoise. Walter loves children and he is generally the type of "person" who enjoys life.
  • Shunsuke Masaki (正木 俊介, Masaki Shunsuke): Shunsuke is Winspector's commander and founder. He usually remains in the headquarters of Winspector, but if necessary, for example when a member falls into a pinch, he goes to the site himself and takes command. After the series, he established another rescue team called Solbrain and made a come back on the last few episodes of Exceedraft.

GigaStreamer has two modes-plasma bullet shooter and hand drill. On their 1st mission, Ryoma puts inside it his MaxCalibur. Later Daiki (SolBraver) used it to defeat chameleon-robot.
  • MaxCalibur (マックスキャリバー, MakkusuKyaribā): Used by Fire like a sword, that also shoots lasers.
  • BiSpear (バイスピアー, BaiSupiā): Bikel's two sticks, which can be combined to form a long rod and these are the handlebar of WinChaser.
