"Beet Buster!"
―Beet Buster's role call[src]

Masato Jin (陣 マサト Jin Masato) was Beet Buster (ビートバスター Bīto Basutā). He is part of the second set of Go-Busters to join the team, and is considered a Sixth Ranger along with his Buddy Roid partner Beet J. Stag.

History[]

Masato Jin was a well-known engineer known for having a quirky, light attitude and a penchant for preferring quirks in machines rather than aiming for perfection. He was highly admired by Ryuji Iwasaki. Once, he had judged a contest wherein Ryuji was a participant. However, when his work was found to be too perfect, Masato judged him only onto second place. As an engineer, he also worked with the Energy Management Center and was one of the people who went into Hyper Space 13 years prior.

Though working in another block during the incident 13 years ago, Masato ended up in subspace regardless when his fellow researchers sacrificed themselves to trap Messiah. Trapped in subspace, he created Beet J. Stag to aid him by placing his body in stasis and creating an avatar of himself to move about. When he learned of the others' fate as Messiah's engineers upon being contacted by Sakurada, given the plans to the BC-04 he developed, Jin decided to escape the subspace and back into the real world.

The Energy Management Center's Hyper Space Analysis Division received some transmissions from Masato, which led to Takeshi Kuroki agreeing to meet him once again in the real world. Their meeting surprised him, as no one had ever made it out of Hyper Space. Tvicon TV STORY-Mission 14: Ça va? Rescue Operation Even more surprising is despite being forty, he appears as if he hasn't aged since thirteen years ago.

Masato also showed himself and his Buddy Roid to the Go-Busters, introducing himself as Beet Buster. Tvicon TV STORY-Mission 15: The Gold Warrior and the Silver Buddy However, he let the Metaloid they were battling go, which called his actions into question. Later however, he and Beet J. Stag return, this time with J. Stag transforming into Stag Buster and both taking the Metaloid down. However, it turns out that they wanted the Enetron for themselves.

As the Go-Busters later confront him for information, in the ensuing battle, he throws himself in harm's way to divert a missile to Enter. In the ensuing explosion, it appears as if both were incinerated into nothingness. However, Beet J. Stag acts as a marker to "revive" Masato, revealing that he is in fact an avatar; that is, he is a remote extension of the real Masato. Tvicon TV STORY-Mission 16: The Man from Hyper Space This is the reason why he appears younger, and this form of his couldn't truly be destroyed. He reveals that while he was in the complex 13 years ago when it was brought into Hyper Space, he was in a different block, and had no interaction with other humans within Hyper Space for years.

For a while, he and J were restless, awaiting their official inclusion into the Go-Busters team with a steady supply of Enetron, even going after the tanks themselves. However, soon Masato is back in the chain of command and receiving supplies of Enetron. The first supply was, however, intercepted by Enter, which was made worse when it was used to construct a new MegaZord Type, made from the stolen BC-04 blueprints. Masato soon schooled Enter when he made quick work of the new MegaZord with his original BC-04, despite it having given the other Go-Busters a hard time. Tvicon TV STORY-Mission 17: Its Name is Go-Buster Beet!

Over the course of the series, Masato and J would assist and train the Go-Busters in order to prepare them for the day they would have to face Messiah.

Eventually, it is revealed that Masato had known all along that Messiah had actually absorbed the people who were transported 13 years ago as data. He'd attempted to keep it secret in order to free the Go-Busters from the emotional torment of having to wipe out their own families. The families themselves reaching out to the Go-Busters freed Masato of this responsibility. Tvicon TV STORY-Mission 30: Messiah Shutdown.

It is also revealed that not only does killing Masato's avatar bring him closer to death, but that his true form is about 2/3 absorbed into Messiah just as most of the people from 13 years ago were. The incomplete data transfer allows Masato's mind to function fully and sustain his avatar and creations. It turns out that his data wasn't destroyed in the Messiah raid, but backed up in Messiah Card 07. When Enter learned of this, he decided to hold on to it. Tvicon TV STORY-Mission 40: Suffering J. and the Messiahloid.

When it was revealed that Hiromu had one of Enter's Messiah cards inside of him, which allowed Enter to not only resurrect himself an unlimited number of times but also allowed Enter to gain Hiromu's abilities, Masato became desperate in his attempts to find a way to destroy it without harming Hiromu. During the Go-Busters' second trip to Hyper Space, Masato found that he could remove the card by using his stasis chamber to transfer the card into his sleeping body. However, the sudden influx of data into Masato's already unstable body would cause it to completely disintegrate. Despite objections, he went ahead with this plan, and as a result Masato was killed having never woken up. His avatar, however, remained functioning long enough to allow Masato to participate in the final battle against Enter. After Enter was finally destroyed for good, Masato's avatar went off-line. Before he was lost, he gave some parting words to the Go-Busters and J, encouraging them to escape. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Mission: Eternal Bonds.

Super Animal War[]

Somehow, he reappeared together with Beet J. Stag in the mainstream world, initially appearing as his alternate self. Having watched the Zyuohgers from afar, he claims that he won't recognize them as the "Doubutsu Sentai". Tvicon TV STORY-Super Animal War: Episode 1

He then challenges the Zyohgers to multiple contests, declaring the winner maintains the right to designate themselves as a "Doubutsu Sentai". Tvicon TV STORY-Super Animal War: Episode 2 After the Zyuohgers win the challenge, Jin tells them they may call themselves Doubutsu Sentai and then reveals he doesn't care anyway, since he is actually the Masato Jin from a "Tokumei Sentai". When Yamato brings up the fact the real Masato Jin died, Jin tells them he is the Masato Jin from the Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters Returns vs. Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters movie, which occurs before Jin's actual death.

Chou-sht-deno orig

An iteration of Masato Jin/Beet Buster was selected to join Team Ex-AidIcon-crosswiki, formed and led by Emu HojoIcon-crosswiki to fight for the title of Kamen Sentai GoriderIcon-crosswiki in the Chou Super Hero TaisenIcon-crosswiki tournament. Masato appeared in lieu of his doppelganger Tsubasa Ozu/MagiYellow, whose magic student Yakumo Katou/AoNinger wished to have as a teammate. Masato soon chose Shuichi KitaokaIcon-crosswiki/Kamen Rider Zolda as the last member of the team. Facing the Dairangers in the first round, Beet Buster bested TenmaRanger. Ultimately, Team Ex-Aid faced off against Team GenmIcon-crosswiki, led by Kamen Rider GenmIcon-crosswiki Zombie GamerIcon-crosswiki Level XIcon-crosswiki, in the final round. Beet Buster engaged and defeated Yellow Owl, with the team prevailing as Ex-Aid bested Genm. Upon completing the tournament, Beet Buster became Ki-RiderIcon-crosswiki as Team Ex-Aid were granted the form of Kamen Sentai Gorider, allowing them to use the Rider HurricaneIcon-crosswiki together to destroy the Andor GenesisIcon-crosswiki mothership. Their objective achieved, Masato and the other Game World teammates returned to their card forms and left while Emu's Aka-RiderIcon-crosswiki transformation as he was left to face the Chou Shocker TaisenIcon-crosswiki.

Unfortunately, the quartet did not last long before being defeated, however, Ex-Aid would ultimately vanquish Shocker Leader III alongside the Kyurangers. Tvicon TV STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen

Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]

Masato joined the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of Brain Team. It’s unknown whether he participated in any of the matches, but his team was eliminated either after losing the second round against the Gunman Team or the third round against the Swordsman Team.

Ten Gokaiger[]

Masato, on his behalf, was one of the Sentai Rangers who donated his Ranger Key for use in the Super Sentai Derby Colosseum.

Personality[]

Masato has an odd and somewhat playful, less serious personality, as he refers to Kuroki as "Kuro-rin". Even before joining the Go-Busters Masato was noted for his utter disregard for rules and authority, stealing a large amount of Enetron in order to keep himself in the real world. Despite being the chronologically oldest of the Go-Busters at 40, Masato insists that he is 27 (which is biologically true since his real body is in stasis) Tvicon TV STORY-Mission 30: Messiah Shutdown.

He's also a little narcissistic, as he takes great offense when J. Stag stands completely in front of him, and holds himself in high regard. Apart from that, he always give J some beating in front of the others whenever J did something wrong and silly.

As noted by J, Masato's habit to joke around comes into light when he's feeling depressed.

Forms[]

―Transformation announcement[src]

Whenever Masato Jin and Beet J Stag transform together, Beet J Stag's Buddyroid armor parts form Beet Buster's suit. However, it's been seen that he can also transform alone and that his suit still retains facsimiles of J's armor parts, though they are still copied off of J, rather than appearing out of nowhere. When J was magnetized to Ryuji by Magnetroid, it was said that Masato was unable to transform without him.

"Ki-Rider!"
―Ki-Rider's role call[src]

Ki-Rider (キライダー Ki Raidā, Yellow Rider) is the Yellow hero of the hybrid Kamen Rider/Super Sentai team Kamen Sentai Gorider. Beet Buster was granted this form when Team Ex-AidIcon-crosswiki prevailed in the Game World'sIcon-crosswiki Chou Super Hero TaisenIcon-crosswiki tournament. Tvicon TV STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen

Ki-Rider is composed of the following parts:[1]

  • Super Antenna Antennae (超触角アンテナ Chō Shokkaku Antena) - The antennae. They can intercept communications by capturing radio waves within a 5km radius. They can contact the other Goriders or allies.
  • C Eye (C・アイ C Ai) - The compound eyes. In detects heat sources and body reactions, and utilises this information to target enemies that move at high speed.
  • O-Signal (O・シグナル O Shigunaru) - A small device embedded on the forehead. Notifies Aka-Rider of any enemies within a 3km radius.
  • Crusher (クラッシャー Kurasshā) - The mouthplate. It can actually open up and bite down on an enemy. The fangs are extremely sharp and can easily chew through sturdy steel. The ability to open and close the Crusher has not been seen in any current media.
  • Protective Clothing (防護服 Bōgo-fuku) - The entire bodysuit. It is made of special chemical fibres that can absorb shocks.
  • Gorider Mantle (ゴライダーマント Goraidā Manto) - The collar-cape section. The Gorider Mantle's surface is explosion proof, reducing damage taken from behind (most likely to shield Ki-Rider from explosions that occur during introductory scenes).
  • Converter Lung (コンバーターラング Konbātā Rangu) - The red chest armor. It is both flexible and durable. It takes in surrounding heat and wind energy, converting them into energy to power Ki-Rider.
  • Power Amplification Gloves (パワー増幅グローブ Pawā Zōfuku Gurōbu) - The gloves. They enhances the wearer's punches via electrical stimulation.
  • Power Amplification Boots (パワー増幅ブーツ Pawā Zōfuku Būtsu) - The boots. They enhance the wearer's kicks via electrical stimulation.
  • Typhoon (タイフーン Taifūn) - Ki-Rider's transformation belt. By spinning the windmill device within the centre via wind energy, energy is produced, allowing transformation and deathblows.
  • Energy Converter (エナージコンバーター Enāji Konbātā) - Two silver devices located on either side of the Typhoon. They store energy produced by Ki-Rider.
