Plot

Scientists believe that 65,000,000 years ago, a meteorite's crash on Earth killed off the dinosaurs, but in truth, it split Earth into two parallel universes: The Earth we know is referred to as "Another-Earth" by the residents of the Earth where dinosaurs were still the superior species, Dino Earth. Overtime, the Dragonoid and Burstosaur races came into being on Dino Earth but were at war with the Evoliens, enities that emerged from the meteor. The two Earths are separate until Asuka, a Dragnoid from Dino Earth, arrives on Earth via a transdimensional portal. However, he is followed by the Evoliens in their Anamolicarus spaceship and the three Burstosaurs under their control. As the Burstosaurs Tyrannosaurus, Ptreranodon, and Triceratops attack Tokyo, a call is sent out to three destined ones who possess Dino Guts to gain the powers to tame the three beasts. Together with their Burstosaur partners, the three become Abarangers to protect their dimension from the Evoliens. In time another Abaranger appears, but he takes the name "AbareKiller" and fought the others while the Evoliens carry out their ultimate goal: the resurrection of their god.

Characters

Abarangers

When they evoke their "Dino Guts", the Abarangers tap into the power of their Burstosaur partners, obtaining their strength and power as their own. Each also has an "Abare Mode" where the diamond pattern on their costumes become sharp blades. Ranru's gives her wings as well, but later in the show she stops having them. ;nihongo|Ryouga Hakua|伯亜　凌駕|Hakua Ryōga: An environmental protection investigator from the United States who gets chosen by Burstosaur "Tyrannosaurus" to become AbaRed and later by the Legendary Burstosaur "Styracosaurus" to become AbareMax.;nihongo|Yukito Sanjou|三条 幸人|Sanjō Yukito: A no-nonsense chiropractor who gets chosen by Burstosaur "Triceratops" to become AbareBlue.;nihongo|Ranru Itsuki|樹 らんる|Itsuki Ranru: A technology mistress and formally trained idol who gets chosen by Burstosaur "Pteranodon" to become AbareYellow.;nihongo|Asuka|アスカ|Asuka: A man from the alternate Dino Earth who tried to defeat the Evolians and later followed them to Earth. He is partners with Burstosaur "Brachiosaurus".;nihongo|Dr. Mikoto Nakadai|仲代 壬琴博士|Nakadai Mikoto-Hakase: A brilliant doctor who was bored with life until he saw the Evolian-controlled Burstosaurs attack the city, but was disappointed that they were used for good. He later found the egg of Burstosaur TopuGaira and the DinoMinder and became AbareKiller. The DinoMinder bracelet however, was unstable as it was made for the Legendary Zero Warrior on DinoEarth in the war against the Evorian.

Allies

*: Emiri is a high school student. When the Burstosaurs first came to earth, Emiri heard their call and almost became AbareYellow. Unfortunately, her body was unable to support the transformation, but Emiri contributes for the team, such as suggesting names (she came up with Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger, AbareMax and SenpuuGoraiAbarenou when the other heroes donated their Dinoguts to Abarenou in Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger). She tries her hardest to become an Abaranger… she eventually does after Tensaikku's defeat in terms of AbarePink (or "AbarePig" as Yukito called her and in the minds of some fans). One of her many mishaps are the time that Voffa tried to turn her into nihongo|Giganoid #6: Giant|6|Giganoido Rokuban: Kyojin. Later in the series, Emiri creates her own AbarePink suit (of course without powers), in order to convince her parents to let her stay at the Dino Curry House, but this suit lasted for only a single episode. Emiri also nicknames herself as "Emi-pon." The epilogue of the show and "Dekaranger VS Abaranger" seems to imply that she is in a relationship with Yukito and that she went to work for him.

*: Sugishita runs a curry restaurant: DinoHouse, which is the Abarangers' base of operations. When the Burstosaurs' first came to earth, Sugishita heard their call and almost became AbareBlue. Unfortunately, his body was unable to support the transformation. Kind and supporting of the Abaranger, he often gives advice and helps the team whenever possible. After the fight against the Evolians, Sugishita's curry business became extremely successful and resulted in him receiving great wealth and setting up a global chain of Dino House curry restaurants, as seen in "Dekaranger VS Abaranger". However, he lost ownership to Yatsudenwani. Further VS movies reveal that all of the elder assistant characters from Hurricaneger through Gekiranger met each other through Ryuunnosuke and DinoHouse. Emiri nicknames him as "Suke-san."

*: Ryouga's 5-year-old niece. Ryouga's brother and sister-in-law died in a car crash, leaving Mai in Ryouga's care. Mai thinks of Ryouga as a father and always cheers him on when he fights as Abared. Starting at the end of ep. 39, Kasumi chooses Mai to be the only one to see her. In ep. 41, a virus transforms human people into Barmia and Mai was infected as well. Kasumi warns the Abaranger that the Barmia are Mai's friends, but Mai was cured when her Dino Guts awoke when she cheered for the Abarangers after seeing Ryouga and the others in danger from the Barmia. After the events of the show, Mai stayed in California with Ryouga.

* (18, 21-Dekaranger vs. Abaranger): Crocodile + Japanese Fatsia + telephone. A powerful Trinoid who was seemingly killed by AbareKiller before he could do any harm. But in reality, he was captured and forced to be Mikoto's manservant, making Yatsudenwani a disgrace to his "dad", Mikela. To redeem himself, he decided to capture the other Abarangers, resulting with his crush on Ranru and stalked her on occasion via phone. But soon, after the Killer Giganoid incident, Yatsudenwani moved into Dino House and became a member of its staff. In #44, Yatsudenwani used a new power, "TeleCroco Dream", to put the Abarangers into a deep slumber until they woke up and retaliated with Super Dino Bomber. However, the entire episode was just a bad dream. In the end, Yatsudenwani chose to stay on AnotherEarth as it's his home now. In "Dekaranger vs. Abaranger", it's revealed that he now runs the flourishing Dino House and its branches as CEO. Furthermore, Yatsudenwani held an artifact capable of resurrecting Dezumozorlya. In addition, he glomped Ban/DekaRed mistaking him for Ranru and eavesdropped on Ranru, Emiri, Umeko, and Jasmine while they were bathing resulting in a severe beating during the group's victory meal.

* Mahoro: Asuka's love interest from DinoEarth. When she and her brother entered the Garden Palace to end the fighting, they were captured by Dezumozorlya who showed her that Asuka "abandoned" them before using her to create Lije. Since then, Mahoro discarded her name and became the Destruction Messenger Jeanne, fixated on killing Asuka for betraying her. After killing Geildon, she used the Cursed Armor whenever she needed to, though she became haunted by the past thanks to Kasumi. After the explosion of the Anamolicarus, Jeanne was restored to her original self at Asuka's sacrifice to wear the armor once more. Although the Abarangers found her and figured out who she was, Mahoro had lost her memory and worked in the Dino House until her memory came back after learning that Asuka had the Cursed Armor which forced Mahoro to assume her Evolien identity to free Asuka from the armor. After that, she helped Abarangers in secret until Dezumozorlya learned of her treachery. In the end, she was able to relinquish her guilt and return with Askua to DinoEarth to start their lives a new. She return to Earth during the ending of Dekaranger vs. Abaranger to join the party.

* Kasumi: Kasumi was the "other side" of Lije, the only part unaffected by Dezumozorlya. She occasionally leaves Lije's body to stop the fight between Asuka and Mahoro. However, once Lije turned into Lijewel, Kasumi was forced to leave their body for good and lived with the Abarangers, befriending Mai after using her to maintain her existence. Kasumi would later remerge into Lijiel to purge Dezumoryla from her, causing them to regress into a baby. The infant, soon re-named Mikoto after Dr. Mikoto Nakadai, still possessed Lije/Lijewel's ability to travel to between worlds. She return to Earth during the ending of Dekaranger vs. Abaranger and Boukenger vs Super Sentai, both which she brought her father to where he was needed.

*: Appears in the Abaranger Movie. When the gang are having a fun summer party at the beach, she appears in front of Ryouga and HanaBinkiVenus literally drops from the sky to capture her. There is a great myth through the Dragon People in DinoEarth that a princess guards the two evil Burstosaurus' on an Arctic island. Asuka was surprised that the legend he grew up with was true. The Bakulaser had been broken in half. The other piece was excavated by humans and put in a museum. Ryouga and Freesia sneak in and steal it. He uses his Dino GUTS to merge it together. Turns out she really was Garuvuidei in disguise and used the fully formed Bakulaser to call upon the Burstosaurus'. The real Freesia was inside of the Bakulaser and wasn't able to come out. She also expressed affection for Ryouga. She commended the Abaranger for their bravery and went off with the Bakulaser.

* Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: Meet up in the "Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger" special to fight the Space Ninja Janiiga. First, the Abarangers found Yousuke (Hurricane Red) fighting Wendinu and Furabiijo, enemies of the Hurricanegers. When the Hurricanegers presumably defeated them, they fell into a warp hole that transferred them into the Evolien castlehold. They had joined the Evoliens. Even though the Hurricanegers and Abarangers had trouble adjusting to this sudden event at first, eventually they collaborated to fight off the enemies. Yousuke (Hurricane Red) briefly made an appearance in the special "Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger VS Abaranger", but it was actually Kazak in disguise, tricking the Abarangers and leading them into injury.

* Lightning Speed Gouraiger: Allies of the Hurricaneger.

* Heavenly Ninja Shurikenger: Thought to be dead near the Hurricaneger finale, Shurikenger, along with Revolver Mammoth, brefily return to help the Abaranger, Hurricaneger and Gouraiger in battling Janiiga and the Evolien.

* Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger: Meet up in the "Dekaranger VS Abaranger" special to fight an Alienizer's attempt to resurrect Dezumozoria. In the beginning, Ryouga, Yukito, and Ranru were arrested by the Dekarangers for attacking the city, but they later found out that they were after an Alienizer who was trying to revive Dezumozorlya.

* Though they aren't allies to the Abarangers, at the end of the final episode, a couple who resemble Mikoto Nakadai and Lijewel and a family resembling Asuka, Mahoro and Kasumi, enter the Dino House as everyone reminisces old times during the Abare Reunion six months after the defeat of the Evolien. These five civilians even bear the names of their lookalikes, as noted by Yatsudenwani but they have slightly different personalities their counterparts. Fittingly, the two sets of lookalikes each wore the colors of AbareKiller and AbareBlack,. They are meant to represent their absent counterparts for the reunion.

Invasion's Garden Evolien

The nihongo|Invasion's Garden Evolien|侵略の園エヴォリアン|Shinryaku no Sono Evorian are the Wicked Life Clan ("Jameizoku"), they came from Dino Earth. They dwelled within a castle-like structure, the Invasion's Garden Palace, before Dezumzorlya turned it into a giant cyclops-like host called DezumoGevirus to battle the Burstosaurs with while transferring itself into Geildon. The fortress was destroyed when AbarenOh and MaxOhJa seemingly sacrificed themselves (with Ryouga and Yukito inside both respective cockpits), but survived by burrowing underground.

Notes

ent|1|bakuryuu "nihongo|Bakuryuu|爆竜|Bakuryū" when literally translated means "Burst Dragon." This is actually a portmanteau of the Japanese words for nihongo|"burst"|爆|baku and nihongo|"dinosaur"|恐竜|kyōryū (the motif of the series). In English, this roughly translates into "Burstosaur," a portmanteau of "Burst" and "Dinosaur."ent|2|abare The name "Abaranger" is a portmanteau of Abare (in the show, an acronym that stands for Attack Bandit Resistance; in Japanese, the term "abare" also means "riot", "rage", or "outburst" among other translations) and "Ranger", so the romanization can be either "Abaranger" or "Abarenger".
