Characters

The United Fire-Defense Agency/Rescue Fire

The Rescue Fire team is a newly formed special team called the Super-Fire Specialist Team in the United Fire-Defense Agency or "UFDA", the organization behind the. The Rescue Force team was sent overseas and is currently based in the Europe branch. The Rescue Fire team disbanded temporarily after the final battle in the last episode, only to be reassembled a year later. The artificial satellite Rescue Eye detects a Super-Fire. The Rescue Fire team is normally stationed at the Fire Phoenix in Tateishi City. The Fire Phoenix can switch from Fortress Mode to flying Space Mode and assumes Spiral Highway when launching the Rescue Dashes. The Fire Phoenix Space Mode's Final Rescue is Freezing Cannon which fires twin icy balls at the enemy to freeze them before a Phoenix Crash.
The Jakaen are a group of fire demons who gave humans fire long ago. However, after seeing their gift used for selfish reasons to the point of endangering the Earth, the Jakaen made it their goal to make people suffer by causing Super-Fire. Sealed long ago by a warrior with the freezing powers of five Blue Pearls, the Jakaen's release into the world was the reason for the formation of the Rescue Fire team. Their original base of operations was underneath Tateishi City, making it the site of most Jakaen attacks until Donkaen's first defeat by Fire-1 X.
The Super-Fire causing Fire Majin are created by the Three Commanders from a Jaka Core they each carry which whirls to life once exposed to a heat source and enters the nearest object in the area, taking its physical form before going on a rampage to seek vengeance. A Fire Majin can be enlarged and upgraded by commanders' Revenge Fire. Two or more Fire Majin can merge into a more powerful Gattaien when their commanders engage Revenge Fire at the same time. Since Jokaen's appearance, the Fire Majin are not used much other than boost up a commander's power as a Hyper Gattaien.

Rescue Tools

Rescue Megaphone

Sword Mode can execute a powerful attack, by performing a Falcon Charge on a Rescue Soul.
The Rescue Extinguishing Sword X-Basher is Fire-1 X's personal suit-up and rescue tool. It was created from the Ryudouken, an ancient weapon with five Blue Orbs installed on it which defeated Donkaen in the past. Over time, the orbs have disappeared and the sword became embedded in its resting place behind Donkaen's throne until Asuka finds and frees it. Though it was heavy and rusted, the Ryudouken transforms when it reacts to Fire-1's Rescue Soul. Eventually, the X-Basher regains the Blue Pearls of "Faith" from Ryujin Village, "Purity" from the Dragon's Marsh after Jokaen took it, "Joy" from Nagoya City after Jokaen took it, "Love" from Lake Motosu, and "Friendship" from Mongolia, which was Asuka's blue stone.
