The eagerly anticipated poster for Bakuage Sentai BoonBoomger has officially unveiled the first three members of the next Super Sentai Series!
The first teaser image, released via Japanese print media and on X, shows our first three heroes: Boon Red, Boon Blue, Boon Pink, and the red Supercar. The image captures a red Supercar alongside the first three BoonBoomgers, each looking in different directions against the backdrop of a city skyline, skyscrapers, and a rising sun which gives us a hint into what their personalities could be like.
BoonBoomger will premiere on Sunday March 3rd, 2024, a week after the conclusion of Ohsama Sentai KingOhger. The takes inspiration from cars which are immensely popular among kids. While numerous Super Sentai series, including Turboranger, Carranger, Go-Onger, and the recent Kiramager, have embraced car themes, this one promises to offer a fresh and innovative take on the theme.
The BoonBoomger outfits resemble racing gear, complete with a speedometer wristwatch henshin device called the “BoonBoom Changer”. These suits, primarily white, showcase accents of their assigned colours down the right sleeves, wheel designs on their backs, and are paired with athletic shoes. Notably, these suits are crafted from tracksuit material, a departure from the typical spandex seen in Sentai for a second year in a row. Moreover, the helmet has a wheel stuck on the front of it with the rims and wells being the visor. From this poster, Red’s helmet resembles a star, Blue’s helmet resembles the PSG football team logo and, finally, Pink’s helmet resembles an asterisk.
A bold and ultra-optimistic hero will emerge, embodying the fusion of “Cars x Making,” forging a distinct journey with a cutting-edge machine founded on original concepts, these skilled, self-reliant heroes enchant viewers across generations with their modern charm.
