Go! Go! Loser Ranger![a] is a Japanese superhero manga series written and illustrated by Negi Haruba. It has been serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine since February 2021, with its chapters collected into thirteen tankōbon volumes as of February 2024.

Plot[edit]

Thirteen years ago, the Villainous Army of Evil attempted to invade Earth, faced by the Super Sentai squadron known as the Divine Dragon Rangers (竜神戦隊ドラゴンキーパー, Ryūjin Sentai Doragon Kīpā, lit. 'Dragon God Squadron Dragon Keeper'), also known as the Dragon Keepers, and their super weapons, the Divine Tools. The evil army, however, was defeated within a year, all of its Executives wiped out, and the surviving (and almost immortal) foot soldiers have been forced ever since to reenact their defeat to the Keepers in front of a crowd of spectators every Sunday. Tired of the charade, and realizing that this amounts to little more than slavery, one of the foot soldiers rebels, and decides he will defeat the Dragon Keepers by infiltrating the organization.

A flying fortress appears over the town as a group of heroes called the Dragon Keepers dedicate themselves to defend humanity in a never ending war against the invaders. Thirteen years later, the fortress continues to send down monsters and creatures called Dusters to fight the Dragon Keepers every Sunday in an arena display called the Sunday Showdown. The latest is Ul-Tora Tiger, who puts up a dramatic fight against the Dragon Keepers before being defeated. However, it is revealed that this was all staged. In reality, the Dragon Keepers beat the invaders within the first year they arrived. They set up a truce with the remaining Dusters to have them put on performances like this in exchange for being allowed to live. One of the Dusters, Footsoldier D, has grown tired of this and tries to take a stand against the Dragon Keepers before being swiftly cut down by the Red Keeper. He decides to disguise himself as a human and join the Dragon Keepers so he can take them down from within.

Transliteration: "Susume! Sentōin D!" (Japanese: 進め！戦闘員Ｄ！)		Fukutarō TakahashiKeiichirō ŌchiKeiichi Sato, Fukutarō TakahashiApril 14, 2024 (2024-04-14)[48]
D has started his plan by taking the entrance exam to join the Ranger Force. While there, he runs into the two humans he met before, Yumeko Suzukiri and Hibiki Sakurama. They take him out to lunch where he learns that Suzukiri has a mission to deliver a letter to the Red Garrison HQ. Seeing his opportunity, he transforms into Sakurama and accompanies her. Meanwhile, Red and Blue Keeper arrive at the fortress to punish D and scare the Dusters back in line. D plans to stab Red Keeper when he sees him but is scared off by the garrison members and Red Keeper himself. After leaving, Suzukiri reveals she knew about the knife and who D really is. She tells D she wants to work with him to kill the Keepers. Just then, the real Sakurama shows up and says a monster has appeared nearby. The monster is D's friend Footsoldier F, who is trying to find D to bring him back. Red Keeper himself shows up and uses the Divine Artifact to truly kill F.

After witnessing F's death, D runs into Sukurama, who reveals he knows the truth after he overheard D and Suzukiri's conversation. However, he also reveals he wants to make a world where humans and monsters can co-exist, which D rejects. D meets with Suzukiri who tells him that the key to defeat the Keepers is to steal their five Divine Artifacts. She also says that the best time to do this is during the Sunday Showdown. D impersonates the Red Keeper and sneaks into Red Garrison HQ, but is stopped by garrison member Tokita. Tokita repeatedly kills D but D manages to trick and beat him. As D escapes with the Divine Artifact, he is confronted by the Keepers. Green Keeper comes up with an idea to have D surrender peacefully but D refuses. As such, Blue Keeper uses his Divine Artifact to kill D. When Red Keeper goes to get his artifact back, it is shown to be a fake as it was created by D using his arm Red Keeper severed earlier. The real one was stolen by Suzukiri. Later on, multiple Blue Ranger members are killed by an unknown monster.

The Dragon Keepers have a meeting along with their second-in-commands where Red reveals his Divine Artifact was stolen. His second-in-command argues that he should hand the title of Red Keeper to him, but Red beats him to death. Blue and one of subordinates, Hikeru, investigate the battle site to try and find D and the Divine Artifact. Meanwhile, D is revealed to be alive but now has a stomach wound that will not heal thanks to Blue's Divine Artifact. He is found by Sukurama, who tells D his backstory. They are then found by Hikeru. Sukurama tries to lure him away but after Hikeru threatens him, D arrives to fight. Hikeru counters with a Divine Artifact replica that D cannot touch due to it only being able to be used by someone Hikeru "bonds" with. D runs away and tries to use Sukurama as a hostage. Hikeru backs off and drops the replica. Sukurama grabs it and appears to kill D. In reality, the two made an agreement to swap disguises so D could infiltrate the Rangers. The disguised D and Hikeru fly away in a chopper, while Sukurama stays in the forest disguised as D.
