Episode Guide: Bubblegum Crisis
1 - Tinsel City
2032, as the rock group Priss and the Replicants blast their music
into the MegaTokyo night, a Boomer is on a rampage. The AD Police scramble,
but the cyberdroid wrecks havoc, leaving them helpless before it.
Suddenly, power-armored women appear and annihilate the Boomer in furious
combat. Mercenaries known as the Knight Sabers. They vanish into the night
as AD Police inspector Leon watches in amazement. But their next job will
soon come calling...
The client is the USSD - The Space Defense Force. The task is to find
a technician, F.G. Frederick, and his little sister Cynthia, who have supposedly
been abducted. By accepting, the Knight Sabers become entangled in a vicious
conspiracy. While stalking the dark underside of MegaTokyo, the four women
soon run afoul of the kidnappers - Boomers who are actually led by the
treacherous Frederick.
The vigilantes ultimately confront Frederick in the abandoned Aqua
City. There, they discover that Cynthia is not a little girl, but a killer
doll - a Boomer targeting device for orbital satellite weapons. Frederick
uses his amazing abilities as a fusion Boomer to control inanimate material
and melds with all of Aqua City in an attempt to overpower the Knight Sabers.
Priss barely manages to destroy him by using her motorslave. Still, Cynthia
panics when she discovers her true identity and fires a USSD satellite
particle beam from orbit. The Knight Sabers escape, but lament about collecting
their pay...

2 - Born to Kill
Under Brian J. Mason’s direction, female Boomers recover the remains
of Cynthia from the sunken wreckage of Aqua City. Meanwhile, the development
of an uprated Boomer is interrupted by an explosion that claims the lives
of several Genom scientists. Irene, fiancee of one of the dead scientists
and a friend of Linna’s, swears to expose Genom’s involvement in his death.
Concerned, Linna harbors serious fears for Irene’s safety.
Meanwhile, Priss and Leon deduce a conspiracy within Genom to develop
illegal Boomer types secretly. One, the uprated "Super-Boomer,"
promises to be a system of great power - using Cynthia’s salvaged black
box, it can synchronize with the USSD’s orbiting satellite weapons, bringing
death wherever it looks.
But across MegaTokyo, Linna and Irene are stalked by a mysterious group
of beautiful female assassins. When the two become separated, Irene is
confronted and horribly killed by the Boomer femme fatales. Guilt-ridden,
Linna swears to avenge Irene’s death.
The Knight Sabers soon follow a trail of clues that lead them to the
Kawasaki Industrial Zone and another confrontation with Genom.
The Climactic battle pits the Knight Sabers against Mason’s deadly
female cyberdriods and the SuperBoomer attacks them with a USSD satellite,
the Sabers emerge victorious. The head of USSD resigns but Mason’s schemes
continue...

3 - Blow Up
Tinsel City erupts in flames as two AD Police K-11 powered suits battle
a pair of military Boomers. Collateral damage from the fight trashes the
Silky Doll - Sylia’s lingerie shop and the Knight Sabers’ secret headquarters.
Obeying the second rule of the Knight Sabers - no personal grudges - Sylia
withholds retribution, even though she knows Mason is behind the attack.
Still, Mason and Sylia are plotting their next moves.
Meanwhile, Priss hangs out with her friend Sho, a young boy whom she
keeps an eye on when his mother works late. At Sho’s 10th birthday party,
his mother tells Priss that she has been saving for her dream to move to
a the countryside.
But at Genom tower, the technologically-integrated economic city project
is under discussion: Genom has been using combat Boomers to terrorize the
population into selling their land cheap. Mason’s agents soon zero in on
Section 3 - Priss and Sho’s neighborhood - evicting the residents. Neither
Priss nor Leon can stop them; it’s all legal. But as Sho’s mother rushes
back into her building to retrieve her savings, she is crushed by the demolition.
The enraged Knights Sabers storm Genom Tower. As the others fight the
security Boomers, Sylia faces Mason - now in a powered suit of his own
- at the tower’s summit. Although Mason discovers Sylia’s identity, the
secret dies with him when Sylia cuts his throat or so it seems...
And the story’s not over yet...
Genom’s still out there - with a megalomaniac at the helm, rogue Boomers
still roam the streets, and MegaTokyo is still reeling from techno-shock
and economic upheaval.
The 21st Century still needs heroes: people willing to fight to ensure
that greed and warped ambition do not rule the new cyberage.
You can be on of those heroes, walking the dark streets of tomorrow
to protect what bit of humanity remains in this era of the machine...
