Plot

[edit]

Leading a Super Sentai team on Earth, Tōgo Asagaki has the ability to change into the superhero Kizuna Red. He unintentionally gets warped into a fantastical world while facing off against the supervillain Breakup King. Unable to find a way home, he joins forces with Princess Teltina Liz Wagrel Alvarost, who aims to stop demon seeds from possessing people; the sorceress Idola Avom, who wants to prove herself and restore her family honor; and Rosie Mist, Princess Teltina's bodyguard who is enamored of her and envious of Tōgo for upstaging him and appearing to grow close to her. Tōgo frequently frustrates or amazes people because he lacks subtlety and common sense, is unable to hold back in battle, and frequently vaporizes monsters, preventing his comrades from selling their body parts. Additionally, his transformation, powers, and ability to summon a mecha are not magical in nature and make no sense to magic users.

The Kizuna Five battles the supervillain Breakup King and his forces. Kizuna Red is forced to face Breakup King alone, but after an explosion, he wakes up in a fantasy world. Six months later, Idola Avom and her butler Poseidon test adventurers with her golem, disappointed by how weak they are. Tōgo Asagaki arrives and mistakes the golem for an enemy and attacks it. When he transforms into Kizuna Red, Idola is shocked because she senses no magic and doesn't understand his weapons and ability to make explosions. He defeats the golem, so she hires him to help her gather mana metal from some ruins. As Tōgo carries her to the ruins, he explains the Kizuna Five battles a supervillain team called the Relationship Enders. Ever since he arrived here, he has seen suffering, so he will do his best to help people while finding a way home. In turn, she explains that her father was once the Royal Scepter, the court mage with a dream of using magic to make people happy, but he was defeated and her family kicked out of the capital. The new Royal Scepter hordes magic for herself, so her dream is to take the position. They battle monsters and find the mana metal guarded by a dragon. Tōgo summons the mecha Maximum Kizuna Kaiser, but it is at low power because it runs on the power of bonds and only Tōgo and Idola are in it. He hugs her and tells her to believe in their friendship, and it works and allows them to defeat the dragon. Later, Idola decides to form an adventuring party with Tōgo to give her a chance to study his powers and hopefully find a way to get him home.

Idola examines Tōgo, but cannot find anything unusual about his body, and when she tries to get a blood sample, he refuses as he is afraid of needles. The adventurers Zetsu and Lain mock Idola and her father. They decide to settle it in a contest to see who can defeat a unique monster in a dungeon first. When they are attacked by minotaurs, Tōgo foolishly summons the Maximum Kizuna Kaiser, but it is too large to fit in the tunnel. Idola protects Zetsu and Lain and explains that even after her family was kicked out and her father eventually died, he taught her to help people. The monster, a giant inhuman skeleton, attacks. Tōgo remembers how his team faced a similar villain called Rejectdra and summons a massive gun called the Victory Kizuna Buster, but it misfires because the other three are still bickering. Tōgo is injured and the other two defend Idola while she heals him, earning her respect. This allows the gun to work and destroy the monster. They find an injured old man and take him with them. Zetsu and Lain part ways with them as friends. Idola tries to take a blood sample again, but Tōgo is still afraid. The old man escapes his bed and turns into the monster, but a man and woman intercept and destroy him, then extract a demonic seed from his head.
