About this title

Synopsis

The story revolves around the battles between the evil organisation Florsheim and the ally of justice Sunred. The twist is that Sunred (referred to most characters familiar with him as simply 'Red') is a rough-talking, violent and rude hero while the villains of Florsheim (led by General Vamp) are for the most part polite, conscientious and easy-going. Despite this, both sides still stay true to their roles, with Florsheim dedicated to destroying Sunred and taking over the world while Sunred battles against them. Other evil organisations and heroes are also mentioned from time to time. Each episode is divided into various shorts of varying length. Most of the humour comes from the interactions of the characters, especially the main trio of Sunred, his girlfriend Kayoko and General Vamp. Kayoko and Vamp, for example, get along very well and she occasionally consults him about housework or cooking. In contrast, she and Sunred often argue like a long married couple.

General Vamp138 fan favorites
External profile
General Vamp is the Florsheim's leader. Ostensibly, he is the main villain of the series, but is actually much more polite than Sunred, with all the tendencies of a housewife.

Sunred is the protagonist of the Tentai Senshi Sunred, referred by most as 'Red-san', which is a reversal of his name in romāji. Despite being an ally of justice, Sunred is rude and violent, and often impatient and impulsive. He wears regular clothing even when fighting Florsheim's monsters, generally a t-shirt and shorts — the only signs that show he is a hero are his superhuman strength and the fact that he is never seen without his helmet.
Kayoko Uchida6 fan favorites
External profile
Kayoko is Sunred's girlfriend. She works at an insurance firm and is the breadwinner of the home, often giving Sunred money, only for him to waste it playing pachinko. Despite their constant bickering, she truly loves Sunred—no matter how much he may annoy her. Much to Sunred's chagrin, she gets along well with his archenemy General Vamp and they often talk about housekeeping and recipes, with her often comparing him to Sunred.
