Shou Amabane

One of two new recruits to the Burning Rangers. Ten years ago when he was a child, Shou was rescued from a fire by a Burning Ranger who sacrificed themselves to save his life. The event deeply inspired him and he went on to become a Burning Ranger, perceiving it as his destiny to save lives in danger, and also to repay his debt to the Ranger who gave their life for him.


  • The Determinator: He is incredibly motivated to never give up and always stresses to have hope in the worst of situations, even going as far as to destroy the joints of an underwater theme park to enable the building to float up from the fire consumed lower levels and save numerous lives in the process. And this is only on his second mission as a Ranger!
  • Naïve Newcomer: Reed looks down on him for this at times.
  • Rookie Red Ranger: He wears a bright red jacket, he's a Burning Ranger, and he's treated as a rookie by the others.
  • Small Steps Hero: He either saves everyone or dies trying. Especially clear in Missions 2 and 3.

Tillis

Voiced by: Yuko Miyamura

After a blaze stole the lives of her loving parents, the young and bewildered Tillis was taken into government foster care. The cold and impersonal environment spawned in her a desire to save others from the pain of untimely loss. Strength of character, limitless compassion, and extraordinary physical dexterity made her a perfect candidate for the Burning Rangers; her new family. The other new recruit to the Burning Rangers beside Shou.


  • Action Girl: She's not any less capable of tackling danger than the other rangers.
  • Break the Cutie: Oh so very subverted; she lost her parents at an age so young she couldn't comprehend what had happened to them, and whilst placed in government care was actually experimented on. But this only strengthened her nature and compassion to ensure no one else ended up experiencing a childhood like hers.
  • The Determinator: Like Shou, she doesn't throw in the towel very easily.
  • Plucky Girl: Probably the most cheerful member of the team, which is surprising when you consider she has every reason NOT to be.
  • Speaks Fluent Animal: She can understand what the dolphin is saying in the second mission, and relays it to the others.

Chris Parton

Voiced by: Hiroko Kasahara


  • The Leader: The leader of the Burning Rangers, albeit she doesn't partake in the field part of missions unlike many other examples of this trope.
  • Not So Above It All: When Tillis asks if she can ride the dolphin at the end of mission 2, Chris grants her permission, but only if she's allowed to ride on it first.
  • Oh, Crap!: The end of mission 3, when she sees the space station get absorbed into the colony with Tillis/Shou inside.
  • The Stoic: Is renowned for staying calm in even the most heated of situations.
    • Not So Stoic: At the end of mission 3, she frantically instructs Shou or Tillis to escape the station before the colony absorbs it and traps them inside. And understandably, she's shown to be in quite a panic.
  • Taking Up the Mantle: Her father was a second generation Burning Ranger who perished saving lives in a chemical plant explosion. Having felt his work was left unfinished, she became a Ranger herself to take up his legacy and continue her father's efforts.
  • Team Mom: Behind her stoic demeanor, she cares greatly about her team and treats them like family.
  • Voice with an Internet Connection: Guides you through the levels and instructs you on what directions to take.

Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki


  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's not particularly nice towards Shou, but he's still a Burning Ranger who is eager to save as many lives as possible.
  • Those Two Guys: With Big Landman. They're veteran Rangers and are often teamed up together off screen during certain missions.
  • Tsundere: In Shou's ending, he seems distraught when it seems Shou perished with the explosion, only to put his tough face back on when it's shown that he's fine.

Big Landman

Iria/Ilia Klein

Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa


  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The spaceship she's on is set to return to Earth once a cure was found for her disease, but it's out on a crash course instead. She's helpless to stop it, but finds a way to warn the Rangers so they can stop it from happening.
  • Walking Spoiler: She doesn't appear until the climax of the game, and plays a central role in the endgame conflict.
