Page 3, "STORY"

In the last episode Bomberman had defeated the "Five Bad Bombers" and has successfully defended the peace. But a new evil force was planning to disrupt the new found peace.

This new enemy was no other than "Professor Bugler", the creator of the "Five Bad Bombers". In order to carry out his plan to dominate the universe, "Professor Buglar" had repaired the "Five Bad Bombers" and was now about to invade the Bomber Nebula!

There are five planets in the Bomber Nebula and on each of these planets exists the mother computer of the United Planet Federation. These computers helped to keep peace and order through out the nebula, but the five main program chips of these computers were stolen and sealed in a control capsule by the "Five Bad Bombers"!

Unknown robots had also appeared and the functions of the five planets had completely stopped. In this time of emergency the United Planet Federation had called upon Bomberman to save the day. To save the Bomber Nebula, Bomberman's battles had begun again!

intro

A ship hurtles towards a planet, stopping at a junkyard and abducting five familiar robots.

The shapes are the deactivated Five Dastardly Bombers, who are then repaired to functionality by Bagura.

They are dispatched to five separate planets, which they conquer and install bases on. Bomberman sets out to take matters into his own hands.

after World 5

Bomberman retrieves all five program chips. However, Bagura's UFO appears in the centre of the nebula, firing shots at each of them. Bomberman boards the UFO to confront him.

ending

Bomberman battles Bagura in his space fortress.

After Bagura is defeated he summons the Five Dastardly Bombers, and the group unite into the gestalt mecha Gattaider. Bagura boards the mech and attacks Bomberman once more.

The mech explodes, depositing Bagura and the Five Dastardly Bombers unconscious onto the floor. The base begins to quake, prompting Bomberman to escape.

As the base explodes, Bagura glows before a light flies from his body. It can be seen jetting into space as Bomberman escapes on his shuttle.

The base finishes detonating, and Bomberman flies back home to the space station.

Black Bomberman and the World Bombers are awaiting his return, and he joins in on the celebrations.

Meanwhile, Bagura's brain makes its exit into the depths of space.
The End.
