Bomberman Jetters: Difference between revisions

[[File:bomberman_jetters_title_courtesy_of_AnimeKraze.jpg|frame]]

 

 

The Jetters are an [[Space Police|intergalactic police force]] apparently formed for the sole purpose of fighting the Hige-Hige Bandits, a [[Recycled in Space|spacefaring]] [[The Syndicate|criminal organization]] with the single goal of amassing all the [[MacGuffin|one-of-a-kind objects in the universe]]. The battle against the Hige-Hige Bandits is going well, until [[The Captain|the leader]] of the Jetters, the [[The Ace|infallible]] Legendary Bomberman [[Steven Ulysses Perhero|Mighty]] goes MIA [[Second Episode Morning|after the first episode]]. The Jetters need [[The Hero|a new Bomberman]] for [[Five-Man Band|the team]], and believing [[Badass|badassery]] to be [[In the Blood]] go straight to Mighty's younger brother, White Bomber.

Problem is, White Bomber is [[Just a Kid]], and the Jetters suddenly find themselves on the losing end of the fight. This isn't helped by the appearance of a new secret weapon the Hige-Hige Bandits are fielding: a sinister Bomberman called MAX, whose techniques are highly reminiscent of Mighty's...

 

 

* [[The Abridged Series]]: [[Jetters Abridged]] [http://youtube.com/teambulgebomb By Team Bulge Bomb], a sister group to the creators of [[Sgt Frog Abridged]]. Notably an [[Abridged Series]] that various goons at [[Something Awful]] have actually ''liked''.

* [[The Ace]]: Mighty is portrayed as this {{spoiler|at first--only for it to get deconstructed later as it is revealed that he fell for Mechadoc's [[Xanatos Gambit]] and [[Unwitting Pawn|died as a result]]. Other of [[My Greatest Failure|his screw-ups]] and [[Fatal Flaw|Fatal Flaws]] come to light during the series.}}

* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: You'd be surprised at what they can do with an [[Excuse Plot]] franchise.

* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: Arguably [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] by Mighty, as he is aloof only geographically and is about [[The Messiah|the kindest person in the world]].

* [[Bad Guy Bar]]: Mama's bar.

* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: Mighty; aside from height, this is about the only thing that distinguishes White Bomber from him.

** + [[Mentors|The Mentor]] / [[The Professor]] / [[Mission Control]]: Dr. Ein

* [[Four Is Death]]: The Bomber Shitennou

** White Bomber is [[Digimon Tamers|Calumon]].

** Mighty has recently gotten a thing for throwing [[Street Fighter|Hadoukens and Poundcake.]]

** Mechadoc sells [[Animal Crossing|furniture in exchange for Bells]]. (Movie only, mind!)

** Dr Ein is also [[Ganbare Goemon|Ebisumaru.]]

* [[Identical Grandson]]: Mighty and his grandfather, literally.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: White Bomber, oh so much.

* [[Large Ham]]: '''Mujoe'''. Grand Bomber also.

* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|''[[Subverted Trope|subverted]]'': Everyone from the viewers to the cast is led to believe that MAX really is Mighty...and turns out, [[You Killed My Father|he isn't]]. [[Double Subversion|Double subverted]] in that an earlier prototype, MA-0, [[Our Souls Are Different|has Mighty's soul]]. Then triple subverted when MA-0 realizes that even with Mighty's soul and memories, he's still the android who killed Mighty, not White Bomber's missing brother.}}

** The basic Hige-Hige minions also qualify. On several occasions, they actually helped White Bomber overcome some distraction (can't find the bathroom, overcoming his fear of needles so he could be cured of an illness) that was keeping him from stopping them. Immediately after, Mujoe would scold them and White Bomber would kick their asses.

* [[My Hero Zero]]: MAX's first prototype, MA-0, or just "Zero" among friends. {{spoiler|Is also Mighty, which is where [[The Hero]] comes from.}}

* [[No Export for You]]: Unfortunately, the series never got a dub. (the localized, [[Macekre]] rendered video game notwithstanding).

* [[No Kill Like Overkill]]: Flame Bomber almost kills White Bomber while he was playing around in their first battle.

* [[No Mouth]]: Any of the Bomber characters.

* [[Old Master]]: Momo / Grandma Bomber

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: White Bomber and Mighty's parents are never ever mentioned, leaving them both under their grandmother's care. It appears from the [[Flash Back|Flash Backs]] that Mighty had ''also'' received a [[Promotion to Parent]], but then ''he'' disappears, too. Man, not a happy family. Shout's [[Missing Mom|mother is dead]], too.

* [[Punny Name]]: Twist and Shout.

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: Mujoe and his subordinate Hige-Higes.

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Thunder Bomber after his brothers and sister are killed and Mujoe has been demoted from commander to [[Crowning Moment of Funny|mail delivery.]]

* [[Space Police]]: The Jetters

* [[Strange Salute]]: The Hige-Hige Bandits have a highly...''idiosyncratic'' [[media:hige-hige-salute.jpg|salute]].

* [[The Syndicate]]: The Hige-Hige Bandits
