Takes place in N.C. 2012, where NC probably stands for New Century. The Japanese term for NC is Shin-seireki 新西暦 which approximately means New/Neo AD. On Christmas 1999, a virus made the main computer of the Transport Research Center to become sentient. Calling itself Messiah, it plotted to take over the world, but was foiled when the whole center was teleported into [[Subdimension]]. Three children were the only survivors of the event, modified with a vaccine to combat the computer virus. Their modifications allow them to withstand teleportation, gives them special powers, but also gave them weak points. | Takes place in N.C. 2012, where NC probably stands for New Century.

The agents in the field for the Special Missions Department of the [[Energy Management Center|E.M.C]]. Since the show's theme is ostensibly spies, they wear Men in Black style glasses when in the field, their logo is based on sunglasses, and the final move of their transformation is to attach the visors from their wrist device to their helmet. This needs to be done any time they take off their helmets. | The agents in the field for the Special Missions Department of the [[Energy Management Center|E.M.C]].

*The naming in Go-Busters is unusual too. All the family names are written in kanji, but all the given names are written in katakana, the alphabet for foreign names. While this doesn't necessarily mean anything, it does make it seem as if this reality is a bit different from the current reality (since most Japanese people write their names with kanji and hiragana, not katakana).

==References to Power Rangers== | ===References to Power Rangers=== | ||
Go-Busters contains several references to Power Rangers, which is the American remake of [[Super Sentai]]. Usually these references refer to 'firsts' in Sentai history of plot devices already in place in Power Rangers. | |||
*The mecha are called MegaZords. This is for both the heroes and villains. The difference is that individual mecha are also called MegaZords, unlike in Power Rangers where the name refers to a "giant robo", usually a combiner. 'Zord' is used as a suffix for Metaroids' MegaZords, such as ShovelRoid's ShovelZord. | |||
*The term "Zord", which originated in Power Rangers, was also used. The last time this happened in Super Sentai for the G-Zord was in [[Mirai Sentai TimeRanger]]. | |||
*The Morphin Brace shouts "It's Morphin' Time!" when activated, which was used throughout the Power Rangers series. | |||
*Also the Morphin Brace has a sunglasses theme similar to Power Rangers: Jungle Fury, except the Go-Busters don't actually put them on like the Jungle Fury rangers but the sunglasses form the Visor when the Go-busters shout "Let's Morphin". The Jungle Fury Morpher Sunglasses were an american creation that didn't appear on GekiRangers. | |||
*The main villain, Messiah, is very similar to Power Rangers: R.P.M.'s Venjix as they were both computer viruses, not to mention very impatient and angry. Messiah is also a floating head from a different dimension, just like Zordon. | |||

特命戦隊ゴーバスターズ
Tokumei translates to special missions.
Catchphrases:
- Busters, ready? Go!
- (バスターズ レディーゴー!)
- It's Time For Buster!
Plot
Takes place in N.C. 2012, where NC probably stands for New Century. The Japanese term for NC is Shin-seireki 新西暦 which approximately means New/Neo AD. On Christmas 1999, a virus made the main computer of the Transport Research Center to become sentient. Calling itself Messiah, it plotted to take over the world, but was foiled when the whole center was teleported into Subdimension. Three children were the only survivors of the event, modified with a vaccine to combat the computer virus. Their modifications allow them to withstand teleportation, gives them special powers, but also gave them weak points.
They were enlisted to become the Go-Busters by the Special Missions Department of the Energy Management Center. They fight an organization called the Vaglass, with Messiah at the helm in Subdimension. Most of the Vaglass schemes are devised by a mysterious figure assisting Messiah named Enter.
The series focuses on a resource called Enetron, which is used as an energy source for both domestic use, and for power of the series mecha (Megazords) by the Energy Management Center (E.M.C.) The Vaglass are constantly going after Enetron as well as technological detail of the E.M.C.
Characters
Note, all the Japanese names use kanji for the family name, but use simplistic katakana for the given name. See the trivia section for more detail.
Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters
The agents in the field for the Special Missions Department of the E.M.C. Since the show's theme is ostensibly spies, they wear Men in Black style glasses when in the field, their logo is based on sunglasses, and the final move of their transformation is to attach the visors from their wrist device to their helmet. This needs to be done any time they take off their helmets.
Normally, they only refer to themselves as Go-Busters. They never use their full title Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. In the show, the full phrase is only mentioned twice. once by Usada in the first episode and by Ryuuji in Space Sheriff Gavan Appears!.

Trivia
- The Busters get their name from the Japanese term for antivirus programs, "Virus Busters".
- The Busters frequently finish off an enemy by saying "Enemy eliminated". Thinking back though, this phrase would probably be better as "Enemy deleted" or "Enemy erased" to go along with the anti-virus theme for Go-Busters. The Japanese word for it, sakujo 削除, in computer terms means erase/delete.
- During the opening sequence, the seemingly random gibberish text on screen is from the English wikipedia article for the Super Sentai series.
- The title of the opening theme isn't the series name itself. It breaks a long trend of opening themes being named from the series name.
- Forgoes the practical effect of sparks upon impact for some action scenes. A lot of the time, the sparks are added afterwards with CGI (Some of the sparks that come out are numbers). This creates awkward moments where sometimes enemies will get slashed, but no sparks will come out (One obvious example of this is in the opening).
- The ending theme "One Wish, One Day" is also Hiromu and Nick's Image Song.
- The Morphin tends to be without an apostrophe, which is how it's done in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers spelling. However, in the Morphin Blaster commercial, the words in English say Let's Morphin' with an apostrophe, in contrast to the toy logo in the same commercial which doesn't.
- Unlike other Sentai, the Go-Busters don't announce themselves as Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters in the roll call (except the movie: Gokaiger vs. Gavan). Instead, they do their "Busters, ready? Go!" bit.
- In fact, within the show, the phrase Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters occurs only once so far. In episode one, about 11:55 in, Usada describes the team as Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
- The naming in Go-Busters is unusual too. All the family names are written in kanji, but all the given names are written in katakana, the alphabet for foreign names. While this doesn't necessarily mean anything, it does make it seem as if this reality is a bit different from the current reality (since most Japanese people write their names with kanji and hiragana, not katakana). This fits since they're in N.C. 2012 while we're in AD 2012.
- This may also make the show seem more western, but this conclusion is a bit of a stretch. In most likelihood, this was a move to make it easier for the writers so they don't have to come up with kanji for names, and it's easier for the kids who watch who may not know many kanji.
- This is rather ironic since the last Sentai to really use a lot of kanji in names was Shinkenger, a series designed to make kanji appeal to young viewers. However, (perhaps as an unintentional blowback from that) all the character names since then (with the exception of Gai from Gokaiger) have been written in simplistic katakana. The Goseigers and Gokaigers aren't native Japanese, and the Go-Busters are from a slightly different dimension. This probably makes it easier for kids to remember.
- Before the series came out, the theory was that the show would have a Ghost theme since the Japanese name closely resembles the Japanese spelling for Ghostbusters. ゴーバスターズ Gou Basutaazu / ゴーストバスターズ Gousuto Basutaazu. It's basically Ghost Busters with two of the Japanese characters removed.
Actor Trivia
- Sakaki Hideo (Commander Kuroki Takeshi) is a hero in real life too. He caught a peeping tom on August 24, 2012.
References to Power Rangers
Go-Busters contains several references to Power Rangers, which is the American remake of Super Sentai. Usually these references refer to 'firsts' in Sentai history of plot devices already in place in Power Rangers.
- The mecha are called MegaZords. This is for both the heroes and villains. The difference is that individual mecha are also called MegaZords, unlike in Power Rangers where the name refers to a "giant robo", usually a combiner. 'Zord' is used as a suffix for Metaroids' MegaZords, such as ShovelRoid's ShovelZord.
- The term "Zord", which originated in Power Rangers, was also used. The last time this happened in Super Sentai for the G-Zord was in Mirai Sentai TimeRanger.
- The Morphin Brace shouts "It's Morphin' Time!" when activated, which was used throughout the Power Rangers series.
- Also the Morphin Brace has a sunglasses theme similar to Power Rangers: Jungle Fury, except the Go-Busters don't actually put them on like the Jungle Fury rangers but the sunglasses form the Visor when the Go-busters shout "Let's Morphin". The Jungle Fury Morpher Sunglasses were an american creation that didn't appear on GekiRangers.
- The main villain, Messiah, is very similar to Power Rangers: R.P.M.'s Venjix as they were both computer viruses, not to mention very impatient and angry. Messiah is also a floating head from a different dimension, just like Zordon.
