story

The story of "Machine Robo Rescue Special: New Year's Day Battalion Departure!" is set three years after the first batch of recruits completed their initial training course. Under the new leadership of Chief Miyajima at MRR HQ, Ace of the Red Wings, Alice of the Blue Sirens, and Shou of the Yellow Gears have been appointed instructors and are working hard to train new recruits. Among the new recruits is Jun, who aspires to become a Machine Robo Rescue member, and the story depicts their growth and new challenges.

The story begins with the appearance of a new robot machine, "Aireon." This new robot machine, jointly developed by Dr. Suidobashi and Daichi, is a cutting-edge machine incorporating the Mugenbine mechanism, and its recklessness and passion remind Ace of the sun he once was. Ace is in charge of showing the new recruits around the facilities, and as he explains the training building and dorms, there is a scene where he reminisces about his comrades who have left MRR.

After completing the initial training course, the comrades are each walking their own path. Jay works with Umi at the International Hyper Rescue's space branch, Ken works as a doctor at MRR Hospital, and Susumu and Tsuyoshi are working with Gyro Robo at the American branch. Instructor Sasaki is assigned to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and leads the Machine Robo Unit, contributing to world peace. Meanwhile, Suzu leads the Garagoro Rescue Team at the Paris branch and engages in rescue activities, while Sayuri opens the International Peace and Security Rescue Conference as Prime Minister, and each continues to carry out rescue activities in different places.

At the climax of the story, while Taiyo is working at the Savannah branch, he receives an invitation from Suzu to a class reunion. While looking forward to reuniting with his friends, he is called to join Jet Team, and while he misses his old teammates, he must take on a new mission. This episode emphasizes that even when we are apart, the time we spend together is a treasure and we can always feel like we are by each other's side.

Key characters such as Ace, Suzu, and Taiyo have matured further after three years of experience, demonstrating leadership and responsibility.
