Bomberman Jetters (ボンバーマンジェッターズ Bonbāman Jettāzu?) is a 2002 Japanese anime television series created by Studio Deen and NAS. It has also spawned two manga series and three video games, one of which was localized and given an English dub. It is based on the popular Bomberman video game series created by Hudson Soft.
The Jetters are a highly trained intergalactic police force for keeping unique items safe from the Hige-Hige bandits. Mighty, an expert Bomberman and the leader of the Jetters, disappears while on a mission. Dr. Ein accepts Mighty's younger brother, White Bomber (Shirobon in Japanese), into the Jetters because they need a Bomberman for the team. White Bomber is clumsy and childish, but idolizes his older brother. White Bomber and the rest of the Jetters have many adventures, foiling Doctor Mechadoc and Mujoe's plans to steal one-of-a-kind objects, facing off against the Hige-Hige Bandits, and returning antiques to their rightful owners.
Early episodes of Bomberman Jetters started out with the "monster of the week" formula, where Dr. Mechadoc and Mujoe would send in one of their "Super Combined" Bombermen one at a time to attack the Jetters.
Eventually the format shifted from light-hearted comedy "monster of the week" to a more dramatic, darker action story dealing with the themes of death, betrayal, and revenge, but still retaining some of the lighter aspect. Plots include characters going through trials with character development such as Shout learning the truth about her mother, how Bagular first met Mujoe, and White Bomber dealing with learning the truth of what happened to his older brother Mighty.
A manga series was created by Tomofumi Matsubara, which was published by Shogakukan and began serialization by CoroCoro Comic in May 2002. Another manga series, titled Let's Go!! Bomberman Jetters (それいけ！！ボンバーマンジェッターズ Sore Ike!! Bonbāman Jettāzu?), was created by Takeshi Tamai and it was published and serialized by the same company and magazine. It began serialization in September 2002, and both manga series' ended in March 2003.
