Machine Robo Rescue cartoon[edit | edit source]
A fire broke out in the tower moments after the first-ever muster of the Machine Robo Rescue cadets first mustered at Rescue Headquarters. While MRR sounded an alert TV footage suggested the fire was under control, and so they prepared to stand down. However Taiyoh Ohzora had a flash of his danger sense, suggesting there was someone still inside. He was able to convince Jet Robo to fly him there to check. They sound found the boy was right, as Jun Mizushima was trapped inside and in danger from the smoke. Despite the arrival of a Gura Gorro Taiyoh was able to get the boy to safety and then activate a ZONE, allowing Jet to defeat the aggressor. The fire at the tower was meanwhile brought under control. Commence the Rescue Combination!!
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Yokohama Landmark Tower is a real-life building in Japan, and was the tallest in the country at the time it was built, and the time Machine Robo Rescue was made, before being surpassed in 2012.
- It's been menaced by Godzilla twice, in Godzilla vs. Mothra and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. Which isn't a large amount compared to most of Japan's famous buildings.
