## Biography

During a time where humans and fairies lived together in peace, a tribe called the Hundred Boma Tribe try to destroy the peace. With one of their Boma Beasts, Iwagami Boma, the Boma Tribe started attacking until they were trapped inside a large stone along with their Boma Beast. With Iwagami Boma’s arm sticking out of the stone, the humans cut it off and place a chain and a seal on the stone. However, after many years of pollution, the fairies were no longer able to live with the humans and the seal became unprotected. So when Iwagami Boma’s arm gets dug up by an excavating crew, it flies straight to the sealed stone where it reconnects itself to it. Once his arm is reconnected, Iwagami Boma manages to break out of the stone. Sensing the Boma Tribe being revived, the last fairy in the world, Seelon, brings five high school students, Riki, Daichi, Youhei, Shunsuke, and Haruna, who all have the ability to see and hear fairies, to the area where they witness Iwagami Boma blowing up the rest of sealed stone, reviving the members of the Boma Tribe, Zimba, Jarmin, and Lehda. The revived Boma Tribe spot the students and start to attack them. The students are suddenly given Turbo Braces and are picked up by a scientist named Dr. Dazai. Iwagami Boma tries to prevent them from escaping by shooting fireballs at them, but the scientist and the students manage to escape. Later, the Boma Tribe and Iwagami Boma perform a ritual to summon the Garzok to look for their Boma Castle and awaken their emperor. As they look upon the Garzoks’ progress, the students arrive at their location after they learn about the Bomba Tribe and the fairies from Dr. Dazai. After they saw Seelon, they agreed to fight Boma, but then another member of the Boma Tribe, Zulten, appears before them. After Zulten attacks them, the group use their Turbo Braces to transform into the Turborangers with Riki as Red Turbo, Daichi as Black Turbo, Youhei as Blue Turbo, Shunsuke as Yellow Turbo, and Haruna as Pink Turbo. The Boma Tribe members start fighting against the Turboranger where Iwagami Boma fights against Daichi and Youhei. Riki, Shunsuke, and Haruna join up with them against Iwagami Boma where they perform a combination attack. Four of them jump at Iwagami Boma where Daichi and Youhei punch him and Shunsuke and Haruna kick him. Riki then jumps in and uses the GT Sword to strike Iwagami Boma. With the Boma Beast down, the Turborangers take out their Turbo Lasers and shoot an energy orb in the sky before slamming it down onto Iwagami Boma, blowing him up.
