The story so far:
The “Wonderful One-Double-Oh” is a special combat unit of 100 heroes that was formed to oppose the threat of the alien invasion. But the one who was appointed to be the leader was “Wonder-Red,” despite the fact that he was only a newbie who hadn’t been with the force for more than one year.

Hey, Ichi here!
So I’ve already told you about how the Wonderful One-Double-Oh rely on “Unite Morphs” as their biggest weapon, but it seems that their leader is still only a newbie.
Will he be able to keep the band of unruly heroes in check!?

Actually, the biggest obstruction in this process is one of his very own teammates.

To wit:

WONDER-BLUE!

The Supersonic Blade, Wonder-Blue

(Japanese voice: Daisuke Egawa, English voice: Roger Craig Smith)

A Wonderful One whose cover occupation is as a detective for the Los Angeles Police Department. Though young, he has gained experience and success in a variety of missions: taking down warring mafia families, counter-terrorism, and even taking part in military operations.
Having a strong sense of identity and a stronger dislike for authority, Blue is not the easiest Wonderful One to deal with in the organization; however, his ability to act quickly and make decisions in the blink of an eye has led to a chain of successful missions. Yet despite these successes, his hotheaded personality makes Blue prone to losing himself in anger, peppering his record with a significant number of failures.
Blue insists on making a scene for everyone to see, so in combat he acts arrogant, taunting the enemy, and is prone to posturing into different poses that might look “cool.” Unfortunately, reactions to his antics are conspicuous in their absence.

Poor at teamwork and preferring to work alone, Blue does not actively try to seek meaningful relationships with others. Instead, he accepts only those who are able to prove their skills, but this acceptance leads to a deep respect.

His weapon, the Valiantium Blade, is said to become sharper with every slice, forged with a special alloy able to cut through anything in the galaxy. His Unite Sword can deal lethal blows to even battleships.

Eliot Hooker, LAPD Detective

As a detective, and as a Wonderful One, Wonder-Blue has faced many challenges, resulting in an almost unhealthy amount of self-confidence. This goes some way toward explaining why he is not too eager to embrace newbie Wonder-Red as the new leader.

Blue vents his frustration with Red being the leader.

Blue tries to provoke Red whenever he can.
But is Red’s swift rise to leadership really the only reason for this behavior…?

Because of his pride, Wonder-Blue never misses an opportunity to make himself look cool, but he’s either too incompetent or just plain unlucky, because he always ends up making a fool of himself and becoming the laughing stock of the group.

Regardless of his constant banter, his skills as a swordsman are second to none.
This has earned him the nickname of “The Supersonic Blade” Wonder-Blue.
It goes without saying that this name is derived from his Valiantium Blade, which he puts to devastating use in his Unite Sword attacks.

This Unite Attack boasts a wide attack range, so even if you just flail it around madly, you’re bound to slash something to pieces. It only requires you to draw a straight line, so it’s very easy to pull off as well.

Zzzzap! Have a taste of your own medicine!

Unite Sword, with its spotless blade, can even reflect enemy lasers.
This allows you to bounce back beams shot from places the blade cannot reach.
And it doesn’t stop there: the blade possesses a lightning element, so it allows its carrier to suffer electric shocks without a scratch. Once struck, it might even gain a lightning-elemental attack itself…

I believe this is what people call a “chain attack.”

If you find obstacles blocking your way, try cutting them down with the Unite Sword.

If it looks like it can be cut, slice it up!

Preferring to work on his own, Wonder-Blue tends to take a defiant attitude towards everyone he meets. Perhaps he experienced something in his past that caused him to stop trusting others.
With “teamwork” not being part of his vocabulary, how will Wonder-Blue fare amidst a group of 100 heroes!?

While discord reigns among the team, more and more cities on earth are falling into the vile claws of the GEATHJERK army.
What will happen to the Wonderful One-Double-Oh!?
