The Brave series is a toy and animation franchise that began after toy company Takara had ended the animated "Generation One" storyline of Transformers in Japan. Following a decline in the series' popularity that led to the cancellation of the OVA series Transformers: Zone, Takara struck a cooperative deal with the animation studio Sunrise (known for its mecha series, most notably Gundam) to develop a new franchise and set of toy lines. The franchise, in fact, would play a key role in the reintroduction of the Super Robot genre to the Japanese mainstream in the 1990s.
It is worth noting that Sunrise's official Yuusha web site considers Brave Saga the ninth Brave series, even though it was not fully produced. It was the main robot for the game Brave Saga, which was released on the Playstation. Sunrise even produced animated transformation and merging sequences to go with the game and a fully animated intro.
Yuusha show involves a young boy (usually in jr.high) who ether stumbles upon an object that grants him the ability to call upon a robot. Or the robot enlists the help of a boy (usually in Jr.high) while trying to save the world.
Here is the List of the Series that appear in Brave Saga:
- Yuusha Exkaiser
- Yaiyo no Yuusha Fribird
- Densetsu no Yuusha Dagan
- Yuusha Tokkyuu Might Gain
- Yuusha Keisatsu J-Decker
- Ougan Yuusha Goldran
- Yuusha Shirei Daguon
- Taiyo no Kiba Daugram
- Soukou Kihyou Voltoms
- Kikou Kai Galliant
The Last 3 titles are better known as "Fang of the Sun Dugram","Armored Trooper Voltoms" and "Panzer World Gallent". As you may have noticed they arent Yuusha shows, but early 80's Sunrise (known as "Nippon Sunrise" back then) Mecha shows. In contrast, they are like the Evangeleon units in SRWF, Just thrown into the game for their namesake to attract fans of their respective series.
STORY:

BRAVE SAGA 2:
Brave Saga 2 is the sequel to Shin Sedai Robot Senki - Brave Saga. Brave Saga 2 can be considered a final re-tale of the Yuusha series as it features virtually all Yuusha characters, mecha and human alike, from the previous generation. Although parallel universes are used to explain why series such as Brave Express Might Gaine can be involved in the plot, the story assumed that at least some of the series, noticeably GaoGaiGar and Baan Gaan, happen at around the same time and in the same world.
Generally, GaoGaiGar storyline is consider to be the 'side-story' while Baan Gaan served as the main event, with other Yuusha participate in either of the story. Also, a general time line is given to some of the work, such as stating that the entire events within The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn inspired the creation of Grand Police Department in Brave Police J-Decker, while the events in The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird is part of the reason why Brave Command Dagwon is formed. There are some none-Yuusha series being involved in the plot, and it should be noted that they are consider to be Real Robot, opposed to Yuusha's Super Robot setting.
