The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World (Japanese: 戦隊レッド 異世界で冒険者になる, Hepburn: Sentai Reddo Isekai de Bōkensha ni Naru) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Koyoshi Nakayoshi. It has been serialized in Square Enix's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Gangan since October 2020. An anime television series produced by Satelight premiered in January 2025.

Plot

Leading a Super Sentai team on Earth, Tōgo Asagaki has the ability to change into the superhero Kizuna Red. He unintentionally gets warped into a fantastical world while facing off against the supervillain Breakup King. Unable to find a way home, he joins forces with Princess Teltina Liz Wagrel Alvarost, who aims to stop demon seeds from possessing people; the sorceress Idola Avom, who wants to prove herself and restore her family honor; and Rosie Mist, Princess Teltina's bodyguard who is enamored of her and envious of Tōgo for upstaging him and appearing to grow close to her. Tōgo frequently frustrates or amazes people because he lacks subtlety and common sense, is unable to hold back in battle, and frequently vaporizes monsters, preventing his comrades from selling their body parts. Additionally, his transformation, powers, and ability to summon a mecha are not magical in nature and make no sense to magic users.

1"The Red Ranger and the Mage"
Transliteration: "Sentai reddo to mahōtsukai" (Japanese: 戦隊（せんたい）レッドと魔法使（まほうつか）い　)		Keiichiro KawaguchiAtsuhiro TomiokaKeiichiro KawaguchiJanuary 12, 2025 (2025-01-12)
The Kizuna Five battles the supervillain Breakup King and his forces. Kizuna Red is forced to face Breakup King alone, but after an explosion, he wakes up in a fantasy world. Six months later, Idola Avom and her butler Poseidon test adventurers with her golem, disappointed by how weak they are. Tōgo Asagaki arrives and mistakes the golem for an enemy and attacks it. When he transforms into Kizuna Red, Idola is shocked because she senses no magic and doesn't understand his weapons and ability to make explosions. He defeats the golem, so she hires him to help her gather mana metal from some ruins. As Tōgo carries her to the ruins, he explains the Kizuna Five battles a supervillain team called the Relationship Enders. Ever since he arrived here, he has seen suffering, so he will do his best to help people while finding a way home. In turn, she explains that her father was once the Royal Scepter, the court mage with a dream of using magic to make people happy, but he was defeated and her family kicked out of the capital. The new Royal Scepter hordes magic for herself, so her dream is to take the position. They battle monsters and find the mana metal guarded by a dragon. Tōgo summons the mecha Maximum Kizuna Kaiser, but it is at low power because it runs on the power of bonds and only Tōgo and Idola are in it. He hugs her and tells her to believe in their friendship, and it works and allows them to defeat the dragon. Later, Idola decides to form an adventuring party with Tōgo to give her a chance to study his powers and hopefully find a way to get him home.
2"A Red Ranger and Adventurers"
Transliteration: "Sentai Reddo to Bōkensha-tachi" (Japanese: 戦隊（せんたい）レッドと冒険者達（ぼうけんしゃたち）)		Hideaki NakanoNatsumi MorichiHideaki NakanoJanuary 19, 2025 (2025-01-19)
Idola examines Tōgo, but cannot find anything unusual about his body, and when she tries to get a blood sample, he refuses as he is afraid of needles. The adventurers Zetsu and Lain mock Idola and her father. They decide to settle it in a contest to see who can defeat a unique monster in a dungeon first. When they are attacked by minotaurs, Tōgo foolishly summons the Maximum Kizuna Kaiser, but it is too large to fit in the tunnel. Idola protects Zetsu and Lain and explains that even after her family was kicked out and her father eventually died, he taught her to help people. The monster, a giant inhuman skeleton, attacks. Tōgo remembers how his team faced a similar villain called Rejectiondra and summons a massive gun called the Victory Kizuna Buster, but it misfires because the other three are still bickering. Tōgo is injured and the other two defend Idola while she heals him, earning her respect. This allows the gun to work and destroy the monster. They find an injured old man and take him with them. Zetsu and Lain part ways with them as friends. Idola tries to take a blood sample again, but Tōgo is still afraid. The old man escapes his bed and turns into the monster, but a man and woman intercept and destroy him, then extract a demonic seed from his head.
3"The Red Ranger, the Hero, and the Princess"
Transliteration: "Sentai Reddo to Yūsha to Hime-sama" (Japanese: 戦隊（せんたい）レッドと勇者（ゆうしゃ）と姫様（ひめさま）)		Eiichi SatoAtsuhiro TomiokaNoriaki SaitoJanuary 26, 2025 (2025-01-26)
Tōgo is broke because he keeps blowing up monsters, preventing him from selling their body parts, so he moves in with Idola. Poseidon is upset and threatens to geld him if he tries anything with her. The two who destroyed the monster earlier, Princess Teltina and her bodyguard Rosie Mist, arrive. Teltina explains that demonic seeds have been mutating people and amplifying their power. She suspects Shauha, the Royal Scepter, is involved, and asks for help. Rosie objects, as he loves Teltina and only her and wants to be her only hero. He also objects to Tōgo addressing Teltina casually and challenges him to a duel for the right to travel with them. Rosie mocks the Kizuna Red form and fights evenly with him. Red summons the Maximum Kizuna Kaiser, but both Idola and Teltina are inside because Red already thinks they are friends. Rosie is enraged thinking Teltina was kidnapped and staggers the mecha, but it knocks him into the sky and defeats him. Rosie tries to go back on his word, but Teltina says they will travel with them. The group goes to the city of Akalina, where everyone lives in fear of Lord Loulugart and a woman tries to ask them to leave. Loulugart attacks them with monsters and has a demonic seed in his hand. Tōgo calls him out on his tyranny and tries to attack him, but the monsters keep teleporting behind him and hitting him. Rosie refuses to help him even when Teltina asks. Idola and Teltina cry out when Tōgo takes so much damage his transformation cuts out.
4"The Red Ranger and the Blades of Bonds"
Transliteration: "Sentai Reddo to Kizuna no Tsurugi" (Japanese: 戦隊（せんたい）レッドと絆（きずな）の剣（つるぎ）)		TBATBATBAFebruary 2, 2025 (2025-02-02)
Rebels led by the woman from earlier, Grossa, cover the group's escape. They learn Loulugart can instantly teleport monsters to his opponents' blind spot, so Idola suggests Tōgo and Rosie fight back to back, but Rosie refuses to work with him. Idola and Teltina bathe and start to bond. When Teltina leaves, she mischievously tricks Tōgo into entering the bath and seeing Idola naked. Rosie jealously steals Tōgo's transformation device. The next day, they attack Loulugart again, but Tōgo cannot transform and is knocked into a river. He has a flashback of Kizuna Silver telling him he is obsessed with forming bonds because he is afraid of being alone. Idola retrieves and revives him with CPR, embarrassing her because she had to kiss him. Rosie declares he only cares about Teltina and slays the monsters. A flashback shows he was shunned for lacking magic, but was worthy of his holy sword and Teltina took him in. Loulugart attacks Teltina and forces Rosie to shield her. Tōgo and Idola rescue them, so Rosie reluctantly returns the transformation device and confesses he tried to get Tōgo killed since he was afraid of being replaced as Teltina's hero. After Teltina says he is irreplaceable, he still refuses to call Tōgo a friend, but they fight back to back perfectly to slay the monsters and knock Loulugart out. Loulugart's demonic seed suddenly consumes him and grows into an island-sized mass of flesh floating in the sky.
