Madan Senki Ryukendo (魔弾戦記リュウケンドー Madan Senki Ryūkendō, translated as Magic Bullet Chronicles Ryukendo), is a Japanese tokusatsu television series. It was Takara and We've Inc's first attempt at a tokusatsu show. The program aired at 7:00 JST on TV Aichi from January 8 to December 31, 2006. It is also a partial prequel to the Tomica Hero Series, the cast reprising their characters in the Tomica Hero Rescue Force movie.
Akebono City is a peaceful community overflowing with humanity. Since there was a Power Spot that released magical power in the community, the people were distressed by the threat of the demon army Jamanga who are gathering Minus Energy (マイナスエネルギー Mainasu Enerugī) from the frightened masses for a sinister purpose. The secret organization SHOT was formed to protect the people of the community from the Jamanga, concealing their existence as ordinary members of the Akebono Police Station, which considers demons beyond their jurisdiction. Kenji Narukami, a student of the Narukami Dragon God Style (鳴神龍神流 Narukami Ryūjinryū) for fighting demons, arrives to Akebono to fight the demons, eventually getting his wish when he is transformed to Ryukendo and faces off against Jamanga's forces together with his friends in order to restore peace in the community.
Each Madan Warrior has a set of keys to either execute an attack, or summon a JuuOh (獣王 JūŌ, translated as Beast King), an animal spirit of the Earth. When Kenji and Fudou power up to God Ryukendo and Magna Ryuguno, their JuuOh become ChouJuuOh (超獣王 ChōJūŌ, Super Beast King), stronger versions of their previous forms.
Kenji Narukami (鳴神剣二)/Madan Swordsman Ryukendo (魔弾剣士リュウケンドー Madan Kenshi Ryūkendō) moved to Akebono, and was mistaken for a demon upon arrival. After defending a dog in the street, he found himself confronting a Demon Beast, being chosen by GekiRyuKen and becoming Ryukendo. Since then, he works at SHOT, saving the day more often than not. He is trained in the Narukami Ryujinryu technique. By inserting the RyuKen Key into GekiRyuKen, Kenji can synchronize with GekiRyuKen to transform into Ryukendo. His transformation call is "GekiRyu Transform!" (撃龍変身 Gekiryū Henshin). Brave Leon (ブレイブレオン Bureibu Reon) is Ryukendo's lion JuuOh, which can turn into a three-wheeled motorcycle called Leon Trike. His Final Break finishing move, activated by the Final Key, is MaDan Slash (魔弾斬り Madan Giri). When GekiRyuKen absorbs the combined power of Ryuguno, Ryujino and the Jamanga GrimGoblin, he evolves into God GekiRyuKen. By transforming with this new weapon, Ryukendo gains an advanced form called Madan Swordsman God Ryukendo (魔弾剣士ゴッドリュウケンドー Madan Kenshi Goddo Ryūkendō). His Madan Keys are also upgraded as well as his JuuOh evolved into God Leon (ゴッドレオン Goddo Reon). His finishing move is RyuuOu MaDan Slash (龍王魔弾斬り Ryūō Madan Giri).
