What is Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden About?

Long ago, the beautiful B-da City faced a big threat. The evil Dark B-da wanted to take over the whole Blue Solar System. But brave heroes called B-Daman used their amazing powers and smart technology to bring peace back. However, evil never truly rests. Our hero, White Bomber, and his friends now patrol the Kingdom. They fight against the Dark B-da, always ready for danger, but also for fun!

The story usually follows five main characters: White, Blue, Red, Yellow, and Black "Bombers." As the series goes on, they get better and stronger machines or battle suits. Each fight is against a minion or one of the four big bosses. These bosses often have unique quirks. The heroes usually use these quirks to win. When the Bombers get new Battle Suits, a new villain often appears. This forces the heroes to grow stronger or find new ways to fight.

Meet the Heroes and Villains

The Good Bombers and Their Battle Suits

The heroes of B-da City use special Battle Suits to fight evil. These suits help them fly, aim better, or shoot powerful blasts.

First Generation Suits

• White Gale: White Bomber's first suit could fly, making it super fast and useful. It had a "Beda Cannon" for rapid firing. It was later upgraded to White Gale II after a tough battle.
• Blue Sniper: Blue Bomber's suit was for land battles. It had a special targeter for super accurate, long-range shots. Its main attack was the "Pointing Shot."
• Red Buster: Red Bomber's suit could fire two Beda shots at once, giving it great power. Its main attack was the "Double Beda Cannon."
• Yellow Shooter: Yellow Bomber's suit was similar to Red's but came later. It had the strongest attack power, but its defense was weaker. Its main attack was the "Drive Shot."
• Black Gattlinger: Black Bomber's first suit could fire many Beda shots quickly, like a gatling gun. This "Gatling Shot" was good against minions but not strong enough for the main villains.

Second Generation Suits

After a train accident destroyed most of the first suits, the Bombers got new, even stronger ones!

• Black Cluster: Black Bomber's second suit had a special cockpit. It could reload fast and fire powerful, rapid shots. Its main attack was the "Cluster Cannon."
• White Blows (White Gale 3): White Bomber's newest suit was a complete redesign. It was much faster and stronger than his old suits. Its "Blows Cannon" fired super powerful Beda Blasts. This suit could also combine with others.
• Blue Braiver: Blue Bomber's new suit could fly! It had improved targeting and an X-Ray sensor to find hidden enemies. Its main attack was "Brave Cannon."
• Yellow Crusher: Yellow Bomber's new suit also gained the ability to fly. It had a sonar speaker that could create sound waves to deflect shots and shake enemies. Its main attack was the "Crusher Cannon."
• Black Devaster: Black Bomber's biggest suit could turn into a dragon for flight. It had two Beda barrels for double power. It could also combine with the Saint Blaster.
• Flyer Dragon: Red Bomber's dragon-like suit acted as a carrier for other Beda suits. It fired B-Da shots like a catapult.

Combined Forms

The heroes' suits can combine to form super powerful machines!

• Saint Blaster: This suit is made from White Blows, Blue Braiver, and Yellow Crasher. White Blows forms the head and body, while the other two become the legs. It fires a powerful "Blaster Cannon."
• Saint Dragon: This is the ultimate suit! It combines all four second-generation suits: White Blows, Black Devaster, Blue Braiver, and Yellow Crasher. It's featured in the final episode, where it uses the "Saint Fire Volley" to defeat the dark dragon.

The Villains

• Koutei: An evil giant eye monster who wants to take over the world.
• Dark Prince: Black Bomber's twin brother, Jack, who was kidnapped and turned evil. He's a very strong enemy but is eventually saved by Black Bomber and his friends.

• Tiger: Another strong villain whose suits use up a lot of energy. He often has the upper hand until his energy runs out. His suit is "Kurogane Byakko."
• Shuringe: A female villain who pretends to be a pretty woman or a teacher. She gets annoyed when people say her name wrong. Her suit, "Tsubasa Phoenix," has huge firepower and can turn into a flying bird.
• Sildork: A powerful villain who loves a good fight. He believes heroes aren't strong enough to beat him. His suit, "Yorui Turtle," has incredibly tough armor.
