Plot

Ten years after the destruction of Jamahl, Earth has returned to peace again. The Earth Academia has become the Cosmo Academia (コスモアカデミア, Kosumo Akademia), a scientific research organization, where Takuya Kai works with Sage Guru on a new generation of Insect Armor in the event of another threat to the Earth. This threat is realized when a Cosmo Academia exploration submarine comes across a fissure in the ocean floor, out of which rises a huge flying fortress of the ancient tribe Melzard. This clan has been resting for millennia and seeks to destroy mankind. Matriarch Mother Melzard sends her oldest sons Raija and Dezzle to lead the attack with Raija's Elebamamoth. By then, Guru has infused the Neo Insect Armor with Insect Power, creating the three Command Voicers to link three humans with the armor. Kengo Tachibana and Ran Ayukawa, who have been selected to wear the new armor, ready themselves and become B-Fighter Kuwagar and B-Fighter Tentou. But the person to become B-Fighter Kabuto had not been chosen when the remaining Command Voicer flies out the window. Ran and Kengo follow it to meet Kouhei Toba, a star athlete at his school who is losing badly to Elebammoth who froze the boy's sister as the last Command Voicer flies into his hand. Kengo and Ran are shocked that this high school student is to be B-Fighter Kabuto, but they go to him and teach him how to transform. He changes into Kabuto and the three of them attack Elebammoth and several henchmen, with Kabuto killing Elebammoth. Refusing to accept defeat, Mother Melzard continues her attacks, with Raija and Dezzle working against each other in their attacks on the B-Fighters.

Characters

New Generation of B-Fighters

• Kouhei Toba/B-Fighter Kabuto (鳥羽 甲平／ビーファイターカブト, Toba Kōhei/Bī Faitā Kabuto) is a 17-year-old high-school student dragged into the fight. A star athlete, Kouhei is a very courageous fighter, although he sometimes impetuous. He lives with his younger sister Yui, whom he cares for and overprotects. As Kabuto (and like Blue Beet before him), Kouhei dons armor modeled after a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. Kabuto is the only B-Fighter who can wield the Astral Saber to become one with and gain control of the giant robot, Kabuterios. He is in love with Sophie. After the final battle, He and Sophie leaves for the United States for college studies and training in a New York office of Cosmo Academia while they're going on a date.
• Kengo Tachibana/B-Fighter Kuwagar (橘 健吾／ビーファイタークワガー, Tachibana Kengo/Bī Faitā Kuwagā) is a serious, 22-year-old environment investigator. He originally had no respect for Kouhei, because Kouhei was chosen to become Kabuto instead of himself and Kouhei was younger, although they eventually became friends. As Kuwagar (and like G-Stag before him), Kengo donned armor modeled after a stag beetle. At the end of the series, Kuwagar was able to wield the Geist Axe and take control of the giant robot, Kuwaga Titan, which was formerly being used by Descorpion and Mother Melzard for evil but was not actually evil.
• Ran Ayukawa/B-Fighter Tentou (鮎川 蘭／ビーファイターテントウ, Ayukawa Ran/Bī Faitā Tentō) is an 18-year-old cyber engineer, who sometimes thought too much about mechanics and ignored the natural side. She had feelings for Julio when he taught her to appreciate nature. Ran loved to eat and was skilled at playing the shamisen, a stringed Japanese instrument. She left her parents' home at 15. As Tentou (unlike Reddle before her), Ran's armor was modeled after a ladybug.

New B-Fighters

The New B-Fighters (新ビーファイター, Shin Bī Faitā) were four individuals from the New York head office, South American, Peking, and Paris branches of Cosmo Academia who used the Insect Commanders (インセクトコマンダー, Insekuto Komandā), a variant of the Command Voicer that stored their Neo Insect Armor which activated when they inserted their respective data card and shouted "Chou Juukou!" (Chojuko!, Super Heavy Shell!). They consumed most of their power to destroy a crystal Mother Melzard had that ignited detonators inside various humans. Afterwards, their Insect Commanders merged with the Geist Axe in the finale.

• Mack Windy/B-Fighter Yanma (マック・ウィンディ／ビーファイターヤンマ, Makku Windi/Bī Faitā Yanma, 28, 29, 34, 35, 43, 49 & 50): Mac was from the New York office, a master of boxing and aikido chosen by the Dragonfly Insect Medal to become Yanma. He posed as an exchange student in Kouhei's school, becoming the boy's rival as a result. He eventually revealed himself as a B-Fighter when the three were attacked by B-Crushers, making an enemy out of Mukadelinger and losing to him until Kabuto comes to his aid. After giving him his Tonbou Gun, Mac left for America after telling them of the three other Insect Medals. Mac was outgoing, flirting with Japanese girls at every chance and pigging out on sushi. As Yanma, Mac's armor was modeled after a dragonfly. His attacks were the Dragon Flying (ドラゴンフライング, Doragon Furaingu) spin attack, and the Spinning Bomber (スピニングボンバー, Supiningu Bonbā), a tornado spin attack.
• Julio Rivera/B-Fighter Genji (フリオ・リベラ／ビーファイターゲンジ, Furio Ribera/Bī Faitā Genji, 30, 35-37, 45, 49 & 50) was a Peruvian archeologist/agent from the South American Cosmo Academia branch. He played a reed flute with strange powers that he gave to Ran as a memento of their time together. He was chosen by the Firefly Insect Medal to become Genji, whose armor was modeled after a firefly.
• Li Wen/B-Fighter Min (李文（リー・ウェン）／ビーファイターミン, Rī Wen/Bī Faitā Min, 31, 35, 39, 43, 49 & 50) is a 35-year-old from the Peking branch of Cosmo Academia. Li was an elementary schoolteacher who loved children and often put on magic shows in parks for children, and was also a good cook. He was a peaceful man who hated the fight between the B-Fighters and Melzard, and at first refused to cooperate when he obtained the Cicada Insect Medal. However, Kengo made him realize that the B-Fighters fight in order to stop the fighting, and so he agreed to help as Min, whose armor was modeled after a cicada. His attacks are the Sonic Pressure (ソニックプレッシャー, Sonikku Puresshā) and the Laser Arrow (ルーザーアロー, Rūzā Arō), fires from his antennae.
• Sophie Villeneuve/B-Fighter Ageha (ソフィー・ヴィルヌーブ／ビーファイターアゲハ, Sofī Virunūbu/Bī Faitā Ageha, 32, 33, 35, 40, 44, 49 & 50) was born on 10 May 1979. From the Paris branch, Sophie was a master violinist. At first, she had no idea how to use her Insect Commander. She is in love with Kouhei, and her song was able to awaken the Astral Saber from its sleep. She was chosen by the Butterfly Insect Medal to become Ageha, whose armor was modeled after a butterfly. She used her Kniving Radar to scan for a fast-moving enemy. After the final battle, She and Kouhei leaves for the United States for college studies and training in a New York office of Cosmo Academia while they're going on a date.

• Input Rifle (インプットライフル, Inputto Raifuru): Combination of Input Cardgun and the three Beet Arms. The Input Rifle is much more powerful than any other in the B-Fighters' arsenal. Normally held by Kabuto, who fires the Kabutonic Buster (カブトニックバスター, Kabutonikku Basutā), a ball of destructive energy. Once, however, Kuwagar with Yanma and Min used the Input Rifle and fired a similar ball called the Kuwagatic Buster (クワガティックバスター, Kuwagatikku Basutā).

Within this ball is a small mechanical kabutomushi beetle that is actually the giant Kabuterios. The Astral Saber was sleeping in a cave until Sophie Villeneuve's song woke it. Upon having the Dragonfly, Firefly, Cicada, Butterfly, Scorpion, Centipede, Mantis and Bee Insect Medals put into the handle of the Astral Saber, B-Fighter Kabuto was able to call Kabuterios forth from the saber and join with the giant robot, gaining the B-Fighters a powerful ally. After Kabuterios and Kuwaga Titan first defeat each other, the hilt of the Astral Saber turns into stone, returning to normal in episode 41. It disappears after the final battle.
• Geist Axe (ガイストアックス, Gaisuto Akkusu): The Geist Axe is a green axe with a green crystal ball similar to the Astral Saber's in its hilt. Within it is a mechanical stag beetle that becomes the giant Kuwaga Titan. Initially, Descorpion was the wielder of the Geist Axe and the commander of Kuwaga Titan. After Kabuterios and Kuwaga Titan defeat each other, its hilt turned to stone, returning to normal in episode 41 with Mother Melzard as the new wielder. She lost the Axe in the next episode. Later in the finale, with the New B-Fighters' Insect Commanders merging into it, B-Fighter Kuwager got possession of the weapon and used the power of Kuwaga Titan for good. It disappears after the final battle.

Road Beetles

Each B-Fighter has a Road Beetle (ロードビートル, Rōdo Bītoru) providing his primary transportation. Their names are Road Kabuto (ロードカブト, Rōdo Kabuto), Road Kuwagar (ロードクワガー, Rōdo Kuwagā) and Road Tentou (ロードテントウ, Rōdo Tentō).

• Osanaioh S (オサナイオーS, Osanaiō Esu) is Professor Osanai's prototype of the Road Beetle that can change into Super Mode (スーパーモード, Sūpā Mōdo). Its name stands for "Operating system of Self-Awake Navigation with Accelerate-Interface-set-in 0 (zero)-Unit".

Neo Beet Machines

The Neo Beet Machines (ネオビートマシン, Neo Bīto Mashin) are the B-Fighters' super machines that they use to fight Melzard airborne and ground vehicles. They emerge from the Beetle Base (ビートルベース, Bītoru Bēsu), the B-Fighter's base of operations following the command "Neo Beet Machines, launch!". The Beetle Base was blown up along with the Neo Beet Machines thanks to the efforts of Killmantis, Beezack, Dezzle and Dord near the finale.

• Kabutron (カブトロン, Kabutoron) is Kabuto's Neo Beet Machine, a gold and black 6-wheeled vehicle with a rhinoceros beetle horn on the front. From this horn it can fire a powerful energy blast, the Kabuto Shooter (カブトシューター, Kabuto Shūtā). It can open its wings to reveal jets that let it fly for Flight Mode (フライトモード, Furaito Mōdo). It can also tilt downward for Battle Formation (バトルフォーメーション, Batoru Fōmēshon) so that its horn can dig a trench in the ground to dig up underground enemies, and can throw an enemy in the Horn Thruster (ホーンスラスター, Hōrn Surasutā) attack.
• Kuwaga Tank (クワガタンク, Kuwaga Tanku) is Kuwagar's Neo Beet Machine, a black tank with two pincerlike horns on the front. The Kuwaga Tank can grab enemies in these horns and toss them about. On top, it has a double-barreled gun, the Kuwagar Cannon (クワガーキャノン, Kuwagā Kyanon). It can convert to Battle Formation, the front rising up and folding back, and can fire off its horns to hit enemies at long-range in the Shoot Scissors (シュートシザース, Shūto Shizāsu) attack.
• Stealth Gyro (ステルスジャイロ, Suterusu Jairo) is Tentou's Neo Beet Machine, a small plane with two large turbines on its tail and two large wings with hover turbines on them. The Stealth Gyro can fire a blast of energy from its Stealth Blaster (ステルスブラスター, Suterusu Burasutā). In Joint Formation (ジョイントフォーメーション, Jointo Fōmēshon), it can transport the two Neo Beet Machines, attaching Kabutron and Kuwaga Tank to the underside of the its wings.

Shell Gods

The two Shell Gods (甲神, Kōjin) are giant insect robot gods from space. Kabuterious and Kuwaga Titan were allies that fought a great battle and were swept into a vortex that defeated an evil foe. They were eventually encased inside two weapons, the Astral Saber and the Geist Axe, until they would be found in the present.

• Great Shell God Kabuterios (大甲神カブテリオス, Daikōjin Kabuteriosu) is the gold and black Shell God that can change into a giant robot Build Mode (ビルドモード, Birudo Mōdo) from a Big Beetle Mode (ビッグビートルモード, Biggu Bītoru Mōdo). It normally stays inside the Astral Saber but can emerge and enlarge itself when needed. B-Fighter Kabuto can join with Kabuterios and control it. Kabuterios fights with the Shell God Sword (甲神剣, Kōjinken) that can block laser blasts from Fly Gidorbas and can fire a powerful blast of fire, the Big Flare (ビュグフレア, Biggu Furea), or fire eye beams called the Terios Flash (テリオスフラッシュ, Teriosu Furasshu), and an energy beam from its chest, the Glorious Flare (グロリアスフレア, Guroriasu Furea).
• Evil Shell God Kuwaga Titan (邪甲神クワガタイタン, Jakōjin Kuwaga Taitan) is the green and black Shell God that can change into a giant robot Build Mode from a Big Stag Beetle Mode (ビッグスタッグビートルモード, Biggu Sutaggu Bītoru Mōdo). It stays inside the Geist Axe until called forth, and was originally controlled by Descorpion, later by Mother Melzard, and was used for evil. However, Kuwaga Titan was (despite his title) not actually evil and once fought alongside Kabuterios, and at the end of the series allowed B-Fighter Kuwagar to use it to fight for good. Kuwaga Titan can fire a blast of energy, the Titanic Flare (タイタニックフレア, Taitanikku Furea) using the Evil Shell Sword (邪甲剣, Jakōken) (it can be used to block Kabuterios' Big Flare), shoot lightning from its left fist called the Titanic Thunder (タイタニックサンダー, Taitanikku Sandā); or a blast of lightning from either its eyes or antennae.

Melzard Tribe

The Melzard Tribe (メルザード一族, Meruzādo Ichizoku) are an ancient race that have existed since prehistoric times. They dwell in the fortress Melzardos (メルザードス, Meruzādosu), which Mother Melzard is an extension of.

• Mother Melzard (マザーメルザード, Mazā Meruzādo, 1-49) leads Melzard. She gave birth to the members by eating a fossil with one of her tendrils and spitting it back out as an egg which instantly hatches into a Melzard. After the battle in which Kabuterios and Kuwaga Titan defeat each other, Mother Melzard fell asleep, gaining an eye on her left breast upon waking up and taking control of Kuwaga Titan. After a battle on the moon with Kabuterios, the Geist Axe was lost. Mother Melzard then proceeded to use a rain to implant bombs in all humans in a scheme to wipe out the entire population. When the B-Fighters entered her fortress, she fought them personally before activating the bombs, leaving only Kabuto unaffected. Severing her connection to the Melzardos, the New B-Fighters destroyed the detonator as the Melzardos crashes. But using the energy of the Earth, Mother Melzard evolved into a larger monster and gained a new form, Jadow Mothera (ジャドーマザーラ, Jadō Mazāra, 49 & 50). She then went on a city-smashing spree while overpowering Kuwaga Titan until he chopped her tail off. When Kabuterios was summoned, the two Shell Gods destroy Jadow Mothera.
• Dinosaur Warrior Raija (恐竜武人ライジャ, Kyōryū Bujin Raija, 1-27, 36-50) is the eldest son of Melzard. A powerful warrior with red Ceratopsia-like armor, he commanded the Melzard monsters based on land-dwelling creatures. Raija frequently quarreled with Dezzle, each trying to outdo the other. Sent to obtain the Insect Medals, Raija battled Kabuto one-on-one after his clone creation was destroyed. Though seemingly killed by Kabuto, Raija managed to take the Scorpion Insect Medal as his body petrified. Raija was later revived by Mother Melzard in a new maroon armored form, empowered by the magma deep within the earth. He found a rival in Descorpion, who also sought to defeat Kabuto. Surviving the Melzardos, Rajia overpowered Kuwagar before battling Kabuto and before being mortally wounded.
• Insect Swordswoman Miolra (昆虫剣士ミオーラ, Konchū Kenshi Miōra) is Raija's comrade, a female warrior with light green insectoid armor and two red swords. When Raija was seemingly killed, she stayed by his petrified body until he awakened. Miolra survived the Melzardos only to die fighting Tentou.
• Deep Sea Fish-man Dezzle (深海魚人デズル, Shinkai Gyojin Dezuru, 1-31, 36-48): is the second son of Melzard. Dezzle was Raija's constant rival, and wore an elaborate blue costume with fins and a fishlike helmet. He commanded the Melzard monsters based on water-dwelling creatures and often actively sabotaged Raija's plans. After Raija was killed, Dezzle was granted greater power from Mother Melzard and became Dezzle the Great (デズル・ザ・グレート, Dezuru Za Gurēto, 31). He was defeated by the Input Rifle, with only his head remaining. Dord placed Dezzle's head on a tank. Dezzle was later revived by Mother Melzard in a new, mysterious form. His new form, giving him new power from the darkness of the deep sea, had no torso and a white mask which hid his face. Dezzle later found the B-Fighters' base of operations, assuming Professor Osanai's form to activate the BF Base's self-destruct along with a virus to spread to the other branches. He overpowered Kuwagar and Tentou as Kabuto arrived. They took the fight outside while Professor Osanai deleted the virus. He almost killed Kabuto until he was hit by the Input Rifle. He accidentally fell into the Kabuto Lancer still latched unto Dord before he is killed by the Input Rifle.
• Rock Shell Chamberlain Dord (石貝侍従ドード, Ishigai Jijū Dōdo, 1-48) is the captain of Dezzle's Bodyguards, a squat creature whose head resembles an ammonite fossil. Dord looked after Dezzle's head after he was blown to pieces, and remained as his loyal servant, until Dezzle returned in his new form. Dord was killed alongside Dezzle by B-Fighter Kabuto with the Input Rifle after his shell was impaled by Kabuto's lance.
• Darkness Generals B-Crushers (闇の四鎧将ビークラッシャー, Yami no Shigaishō Bī Kurasshā) are the Melzard's primary fighters against the B-Fighters. Raija and Dezzle gathered 4 of the 8 Insect Medals (first obtaining the Centipede Insect Medal, than the Bee, Mantis and the Scorpion Insect Medal afterwards) for Mother Melzard using energy gathered by Dezzle. She had four of her larval offspring merge into suits of armor powered by the medals. In their debut, the B-Crushers lured the B-Fighters into the open and sprang a trap. The B-Crushers overpower them until Mac Windy comes to aid as B-Fighter Yanma. Descorpion ordered a fall back as they proved their superiority. But in the second match, Kabuto defeated them. After B-Fighter Kabuto activated Kabuterios, the B-Crushers were injured and had to be cocooned until their wounds had healed. Afterwards, they gained possession of the Geist Axe. They also came to be at odds with Raija, Dezzle and their crew.
  • Deadly Poison Armored General Descorpion (猛毒鎧将デスコーピオン, Mōdoku Gaishō Desukōpion, 28-35, 37-50) is the leader of the B-Crushers. His armor was modeled after a scorpion. He is an honorable warrior by nature, preferring to fight fair compared to his teammates' methods. He uses the Poison Anchor (ポイズンアンカー, Poizun Ankā) on his right to grab and strangle enemies and a Slaughter Scissors (スローターシザース, Surōtā Shizāsu) claw-attachment for his left forearm slashing attacks. His rival is Raija, who also wants to defeat Kabuto. Once tried to kill Kabuto using a bomb attached to his belt buckle. He wielded the Geist Axe until Mother Melzard took it from him. When the B-Fighters enter the Melzardis, Descorpion fights them as Rajia and Miolra join in. Surviving the Melzardos' crash, Descorpion battles Kabuto, accepting defeat, killed by Kabuto's Liner Blast.
  • Cold-Blooded Armored General Mukadelinger (冷血鎧将ムカデリンガー, Reiketsu Gaishō Mukaderingā, 28-35, 37-49) is the polar opposite of Descorpion, with armor modeled after a centipede. His weapon is the Hundred Feeler (ハンドレッドフィーラー, Handoretto Fīrā) trident and he can open his chest to reveal the Mukadenic Bomb (ムカデニックボム, Mukadenikku Bomu). He uses the centipede legs on his armor to control ordinary humans via mind control, such as when he attempted revenge on Yanma. Leaving Melzard, he challenged the B-Fighters despite learning that he had a bomb inside him and then took Yui hostage. The New B-Fighters arrived and used their signature moves to weaken Mukadelinger before Kabuto defeated him with the Input Rifle. Mother Melzard activated the bombs and destroyed Mukadelinger.
  • Demon Blade Armored General Killmantis (魔剣鎧将キルマンティス, Maken Gaishō Kirumantisu, 28-35, 37-48) is a mantis-armored expert at using bladed weapons, especially his two Felinger Snipe (フェリンガースナイプ, Feringā Sunaipu) sickles that allow him to cut through millions of peaches in blinding speed with lightning-fast strikes and used in his Killer Hands (キラーハンズ, Kirā Hanzu) attack. Sent with Beezack to the Neo B-Machine hangar to destroy the mecha, Killmantis learned they'd been sent on a suicide mission where Kabuto wounded them. Near death, Killmantis sacrificed himself to complete his mission.
  • Mirage Armored General Beezack (変幻鎧将ビーザック, Hengen Gaishō Bīzakku, 28-35, 37-48) is a bee-armored master of disguise and illusion assuming human guides to lower his enemies' guard. He can hide himself and attack from shelter with his Hardoc Shocker (ハードックショッカー, Hādokku Shokkā) weapon. Sent with Killmantis to the Neo B-Machine hangar to destroy the mecha, Like Killmantis, Beezak did not know they'd been sent on a suicide mission and sacrificed himself.
• Bodyguards (Shineitai, 1-42) are Melzard's foot soldiers who belong to either Raija and Dezzle. They seem to be made from the fossils of land animals; 2 Stegoceras, 2 Pterosaur, and 2 Prehistoric Spiders; while Dezzle's Bodyguards (デズル親衛隊, Dezuru Shineitai) seem to be made from the fossils of sea creatures; 2 Prehistoric Fish, 2 Prehistoric Jellyfish and 2 Prehistoric Squids. They are disintegrated by Mother Melzard in episode 42.
• Gidorbas (ギドーバ, Gidōba): Giant worm-like tanks can transform into the Fly Gidorbas (フライギドーバ, Furai Gidōba) aerial fighters, and vice versa.

Melzard Monsters

Monsters of the land and sea given birth by Mother Melzard.

Raija's Monsters

Raija's monsters are land-based creatures.

• Giant Elephant Beast Elebammoth (巨象獣エレバンモス, Kyozōjū Erebanmosu, 1) was born from a woolly mammoth fossil. He was sent to begin a new Ice Age and kill all of humanity. Elebammoth froze everything in his path with his liquid nitrogen gas. When he froze Yui, Kouhei battled it and lost until the last Command Voicer flies into his hand as Kengo and Ran arrived. As Kabuto, Kouhei killed Elebammoth with the Cavalier Lancer attack.
