6 | The story of this anime starts off with three bodies of Dragonite appear. Possessing overwhelming destructive force, they attack the city. By doing so, they also awaken the evil [[BigBad Jashin Drago]] from the seal he was trapped in. 200 years ago, Drago was trapped in the seal by a powerful warrior with the tattooed mark of the Liger. |

8 | Assuming that the warrior is dead, Drago and Empress Zara are free to conquer the Earth using their army of biomechanical beasts. Even the Japan Self-Defense Forces are no match for the Dragonites' awesome power. One of the people fleeing is the protagonist, a teenager named Ken Taiga. Unbeknownst to the Dragonites, Ken realizes that he is the descendant of the Liger warrior. |

10 | In a burst of anger, Ken's Liger birthmark appears, and he rises his palm into the air, shouting the henshin command, "LIGER!" which then covers him in demonic, long-haired biomechanical armor. Ken transforms into Jushin Liger to fight the evil forces of the Dragonite! |

12 | !!Tropes from this anime: |
13 | * AllMenArePerverts: Both Ken and Dangoro are quite prone to it, especially around the Kamishiro twins. |
14 | * AnimalMotifs: Liger is based on a lion, while the Demon Dragon Empire are somewhat based on dragons. |
15 | * AnimalMecha: Velaguarda and Thunder Phoenix. |
16 | * BarehandedBladeBlock: Liger does this against Maryuo Doll. |
17 | * BigBadEnsemble: Drago and Empress Zara. |
18 | * BloodierAndGorier: Between monster and bio-mechas, that is. |
19 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: It is implied that Zara took Ryu from a hospital and raised him to fight for their side.]] |
20 | * DarkerAndEdgier: When compared to other anime in the mecha genre. |
21 | * EvilCounterpart: Ryu and his mecha Maryuo Doll are one to Ken and Liger. |
22 | %%* {{Fanservice}}: Considering [[Creator/GoNagai who]] made this, it's not too surprising. |
23 | * FatBestFriend: Dangoro. |
24 | * FeminineWomenCanCook: Yui, in contrast with the more tomboyish Mai. |
25 | %%* GoNagaiSideburns: Again, a Go Nagai work. |
26 | * HotBlooded: Duh. It also inspired a real-life wrestler to take on the name from this anime. |
27 | * HonorBeforeReason: Ryu refuses to finish a downed Liger after the latter is attacked InTheBack by another Drago mook, and leaves the battlefield promising to defeat him cleanly some day. |
28 | * HumongousMecha: Sort of. Liger is a bio-mechincal armor. |
29 | %%* IdiotHero: Ken. |
30 | %%* MonsterOfTheWeek |
31 | * MotionCaptureMecha: Liger is this. |
32 | * SuperMode Liger's Fire and Thunder modes. |
33 | * TheTease: Both Yui and Mai. After an instance in which they accidentally enter the bathroom nude and starts bathing with Ken already there under the water, they take a liking to tease the boy with bathing with him and "washing his back". |
34 | * TigerVersusDragon: Ken and Ryu (which even is the word for "dragon" in Japanese). |
35 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Mai and Yui Kamishiro. |
