Knight Sabers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Knight Sabers are the main protagonists of the anime series Bubblegum Crisis and subsequent series.
They are a team of four young women assisted by Sylia Stingray's (their leader) younger brother. To enhance their natural abilities they each wear a power armor suit. Each of them is a specialist in a different field. They were recruited by Sylia so that she can battle the corrupt Genom corporation that dominates their home city of Megatokyo and that is responsible for our father's death.
In order to finance their vigilante activities, the Knight Sabers also accept paying jobs as bodyguards or mercenaries. Their main activity is fiighting out-of-control boomers - half biological/half-mechanical robots built by Genom.
In their civilian guises, each character has a signature vehicle which is strongly associated with her.
The members of the Knight Sabers are:
- Sylia Stingray - Wealthy entrepeneuer, financier of the team and all-round combatant.
- Linna Yamazaki - viewpoint character of the show, close-combat specialist. In the original Bubblegum Crisis she is a fitness instructor, in Bubblegum Crash has changed her profession to financial analyst, and in the Tokyo 2040 series she is an office lady.
- Priscilla S. Asagiri - rock star and heavy assault specialist. In the original OAV she is the lead singer of the rock band "Priss and the Replicants," in BGCrash she has spun off into a solo act and in the remake she is the lead singer of the rock band "Sekiria." Priss is a highly skilled, though highly reckless driver, and drives (and wrecks) numerous motorcycles during the series. She favors small, high-performance "crotch rocket" type bikes.
- Nene Romanova - is a member of the AD Police and computer specialist acting as the team's electronic warfare specialist. her combat skills are very poor by comparison with the others.
The character designs were by Kenichi Sonoda.
