Rekishi Sentai Jidaiger

A powerful demon from the near future is defeated and on the brink of being utterly destroyed. However, the demon, aided by the research of a young physicist held against her will, discovers a way to travel into the past. With this newfound weapon in his possession, the demon decides to jump millenia into the past with the remnants of his shattered army to ensure his victory in the future and subjugate humanity to his reign. The physicist, acting on her own free will, attempts to trap the demon and his armies in the time stream, but finds herself displaced as well, in the process warping the fabric of time itself.

In the current era, a young Japanese high school student with a love of Japanese history and virtually no friends, now finds himself saddled with a quartet of individuals displaced from their respective periods (where the Jidai in Jidaiger comes from....Rekishi stands for History). He realizes something is very wrong, but is the only one who notices.

However, though the physicist has prevented the demon and his armies from travelling back to the point in time where he could begin significantly altering the future, she, the demon, and his armies are now stuck in the current era, where the demon decides to begin his conquests once more. The physicist comes across the same high school student and his motley, newfound companions, and enlists them into becoming Rekishi Sentai Jidaiger....the defenders of history itself. They are all armed initially with Jidai pistols and Jidai daggers, before the physicist develops their own weapons, and feverishly develops their mecha when the the demon's minions gain the ability to grow into giants.

Jidai Red: The high school student who is thrust into the leadership of Rekishi Sentai Jidaiger merely by virtue of the fact that everyone is stuck in his time period. Despite his relatively upbeat, curious personality, doesn't have a whole lot of friends as he is obsessed with Japanese history and studied kendo and iaido his whole life. He wields the Jidai katana and pilots the Jidai eagle.

Jidai Green: A young police officer during the late Edo/early Meiji Restoration period. He is strict and patronizing, but only for his desire to do the right thing. He is an expert martial artist and wields the Jidai jitte and pilots the Jidai serpent.

Jidai Blue: The last kunoichi from her clan during the Sengoku period. Having lost nearly everyone around her, she is aloof, withdrawn, and cold around others and suffers from survivor's guilt. She wields the Jidai kisarigama and pilots the Jidai fox.

Jidai Pink: A priestess from a noble family of the Heian period. The youngest of her family, she has lived in a temple nearly her entire life. She is educated, refined, and polite, but extremely naive about the ways of the world. She wields the Jidai naginata and pilots the Jidai crane.

Jidai Yellow: A hunter-gatherer from the Jomon period. The strongest member of his clan, he is hot-blooded and impulsive and is accustomed to surviving by his wits. He is extremely powerful, wields the Jidai kanabo, and pilots the Jidai bear.

(6th Ranger) Jidai Black: A freedom fighter from the post-apocalyptic future who comes to aid the Jidaigers in order to prevent the terrible future he lives in, a result of the demon's victory in the past. Battle-hardened and cynical, he wields a laser sword that can combine with his own Jidai pistol to turn into an enormous pulse rifle. He also pilots the Jidai dragon, which is capable of flying and walking forms.

Together, the 5 core Jidai mecha combine to form Grand Jidai.
