| | Network |  TV Tokyo | | | | Original run | October 2, 2002 – September 24, 2003 | | Episodes | 52 | | Anime and Manga Portal | Bomberman Jetters (ボンバーマン ジェッターズ, Bonbāman Jettāzu?) is a anime based on the popular video game series Bomberman created by Hudson Soft. The show ran for a total of 52 episodes in Japan on TV Tokyo. The soundtrack was composed by Kazunori Maruyama. Unlike the Bomberman Bakugaiden anime of the late 90's, this series is very true to the Bomberman video games. The anime tells the story of the Higehige dan, or "Higehige bandits", who are a group of thieves foiled constantly by the Jetters. The Jetters consist of Mighty (the Legendary Bomberman), Dr. Ein, the founder as well as Gangu's creator, Birdy, Shout, Bongo, Gangu, and White Bomber—Mighty's younger brother. Mighty, expert Bomberman and the leader of the Jetters, a highly trained intergalactic police force for keeping unique items safe from the Hige-Hige bandits, disappears while on a mission. Dr. Ein accepts Mighty's younger brother, White Bomber—Shirobon in Japanese)—into the Jetters because they need a Bomberman for the team. White Bomber is clumsy and childish, but idolizes his older brother. After assuming his place as the Bomberman of the Jetters, White Bomber and the rest of the Jetters have many adventures, foiling the plans of Doctor Mechadoc and Mujoe to steal one-of-a-kind objects, facing off against the Hige-Hige Bandits, and returning antiques to the rightful owner. Early episodes of Bomberman Jetters started out with the infamous "monster of the week" formula, where Dr. Mechadoc and Mujoe would send in one of their "Super Combined" Bombermen one at a time to attack the Jetters. Eventually the format shifted from light-hearted comedy "monster of the week" to a more dramatic, darker action story with drama dealing with the trials of death, betrayal and revenge, but still retained the lighter aspect.. This includes characters going through their own trials with huge character development such as Shout learning the truth about her mother, how Bagura first met Mujoe, and Shirobon dealing with learning the truth of what happened to his older brother Mighty. This is the second time that any Bomberman media took on a darker approach, the first being Bomberman 64: The Second Attack for the Nintendo 64.[original research?] Despite the fact that the Gamecube adaption of Bomberman Jetters was released in the U.S, it is currently unknown if the anime series will ever get licensed in the U.S. [edit] Characters [edit] Jetters - Shirobon (White Bomber) - A native Bomberman from planet Bomber, Shirobon is very clumsy and quite dense. He wrecks things by accident, in sharp contrast to his older brother Mighty. His little accidents tend to make a critical situation worse, much to Shout's frustration. He also will brag endlessly about any achievement, no matter how little. Shirobon may mess up sometimes but he always means well and always tries to help. It is said that he is ten years old. Shirobon doesn't seem to get angry at Shout no matter how many times she yells, curses and hits him (Although this is purely out of fear of inciting Shout's wrath even further, rather than out of affection). He joined Jetters in episode 2, thanks to Momo's relationship with Dr. Ein.
- Shout - Shout is the bad mouthed leader of the Jetters, who filled in for Mighty after his disappearance. She is also the only female member of the Jetters. Shout picks on Shirobon, but she actually cares for him like a brother. She even said that when he gets older he will lead Jetters, just like Mighty once have. Her mother died in a space flight accident when she was an infant. Her age is unknown but she appears to be about the same age as Shirobon. In her civilian mode, she runs a ramen restaurant.
- Gangu - A robot created by Dr. Ein. He is a unique robot that wields gizmos in his body to assist the Jetters. He hates it when Bongo modifies him, especially for cooking. He did not remember when he was created or who created him, and has a recurring dream about fighting and defeating a giant robot. One day when he asked out loud, Dr. Ein admitted to it, and told him an elaborate story about the reason for his creation, after which Dr. Ein said it was all a lie. (But Ein did create Gangu, however)
- Bongo - A hairy, large-bodied inventor from planet Dodonpa who helps Dr. Ein and enjoys modifying Gangu, mostly without Gangu's permission. Also, like most of his species, he enjoys curry and ends his sentences with "bongo." Though he doesn't look like it, he is actually a royal prince. His full name is Sarusamanbo Kongaragaccha Bosanovavitch Bongoro Dodonpa XXXIV.
- Birdy - An anthropomorphic bird and a member of the Jetters and a personal friend of Mighty. Birdy is a competent fighter and rarely reveals his emotions, but he loses his temper easily. As a side job he works as a taxi driver. In episode 36 he seems to know Mama. He is mysterious and goes out by himself a lot, but none of the other Jetters knows what he does or where he goes when he "goes out". Birdy can fight well and can make wings come out of his back to fly, and he can throw sharp feathers.
- Mighty - Shirobon's brother, known as the legendary bomberman, who bears a striking resemblance to original Bomberman. Mighty has a silver visor covering his right eye, wears a red cape and has slightly thicker eyebrows and has fingers, but those are the only major differences between him and Shirobon. he is unlike shirobon, he has a cool and collected personality and a strong sense of justice. It is later revealed that his grandfather wore similar clothing. Mighty and Shirobon also share a very close brother bond. Mighty has some of the personality traits of Shirobon. Mighty can create the thunder bomb. After his brief return to Planet Bomber in episode 1 to guard Cosmo Diamond, he went on to another mission to planet Nonbiri. After the Jetters ship had landed on planet Nonbiri, Mighty took on missions against Higehige forces on his own, but after the last base had been destroyed, Mighty had never been found since. In Zero's flashback, it was shown that Mighty was damaged in a gun attack by mujoe and zero had penetrated his wound to obtain combat data, before Mighty destroyed the final base with his own attack. In Zero's broadcast of Mighty's final moment, it was shown that Mighty tried to give Shirobon his 7th bombstar before destroying the base, but he only possessed 6 bombstars. The 7th bombstar lies within the heart.
- Dr. Ein - A scientist who founded the Jetters. He has an annoying tendency to blow his nose on any piece of paper nearby, including letters of resignation, leading, understandably, to much confusion. He also has a crush on Momo, Shirobon and Mighty's grandmother. Often regarded as a joke character, he actually has a serious side. Ein tells the Jetters when there are missions. Dr. Ein also chatters on his relationship with Momo in various occasions.
[edit] Hige-Hige - President Bagura - Bagura (a.k.a. Bagular) is the mastermind behind the Hige-Hige Gang, with the goal of collecting universally unique items. He is not actually evil, and was great friends with the Jetters' founder, Dr. Ein, but they were split by an intense rivalry for the affections of Momo, Shirobon and Mighty's grandmother. Later episodes, it's revealed that Bagular is nothing more than a pawn in Dr Mechadoc's sinister scheme of over throwing him to take over the Hige Hige Bandits. He resembles a large blue beardly old bomberman with a letter B on his forehead and wears one gold monocle over his left eye and has a belt, gloves and a red cape. Bagura was later rescued by Mujoe in his second Schnurburt base infiltration attempt.
- Mujoe - A pawn of Bagular, Mujoe is usually in charge of commanding the Hige-Hige Gang's troops. He resembles a pro wrestler, in that he has blonde hair, a blonde mustache/beard and a strange-looking spandex suit. He also wears shades and a large green cape. Mujoe used the Super Combined Bomberman Making Machine and shot at Charaboms to make Mermaid Bomber, Thunder Bomber, Fire Bomber, and Grand Bomber. Mujoe joined Bagura when Bagura found the jobless Mojoe sleeping in streets, and decided to employ Mojoe on his quest against Dr. Ein. After the Schnurburt base had been taken over by Dr. Mechadoc, Mujoe went to the noodle shop in planet Jetter and asked Jetters to help free Bagura. Jetters attempted to free Bagura by infiltrating the Schnurburt base, but the plot failed. Mujoe then attempted to sacrifice himself to take down Max when trying to escape from the failed infiltration, but failed to stop Max. However, Mujoe escaped from Max's attack by pulling an escape trigger just before the attack hits, where he in his is escape block was eventually found by Bager's fishing boat. Since then, he re-infiltrated Schnurburt base under Dr. Ein's secret plan in episode 49 and was successful.
- Dr. Mechadoc - Mechadoc is the Hige Hige Bandits' mad scientist and Bagular's more trusted right hand henchman who does all the building and machinery for Bagular and the Hige Hige Bandits. In Episode 40, Mechadoc turn againest Bagular, it was revealved that Mechdoc and Bagura went to the same science academy back in their younger days, and Mechadoc blames Bagura for stealing his ideas about the bomb crystals. Bagular tries to explian that his idea was false, but Mechadoc refused to listen. As a result, Mechadoc goes into a corrupted berserk rage, locking Bagura up in prison and taking over the Hige Hige Bandits. Since the bomb crystals are inside Planet Bomber, his ultimate plan is to collide both planet Bomber and planet Jetters together until both planets are destroyed. His main creation is the Super Combined Bomberman Making Machine to turn any inanimate objects or helpless Charaboms into his own Bombermen. After Dark Force Bomber is destroyed, he was about to blast Shirobon with his combin pack, but Oyabon and Daibon had it turn on him. Mechadoc became trapped in a crystal.
- Max (MA-10[X]) - At first solely referred to as the infamous "Space Bounty Hunter," it is later discovered that he is a creation of Mechadoc. He has no feelings or compassion, and will do whatever it takes to reach his goal. He uses the lightning bomb and balloon bomb similar to the missing Mighty. Max's body was destroyed in episode 51, but manages to write his data into Zero before Zero begins the lethal hit, in the same episode hence taking control of his body. However, Max's spirit was destroyed by Shirobon's ruse bomb, saving the fatally wounded Zero.
- Hige-Hige bandits - The basic members of the Hige-Hige gang equal of strength to the bombermen. Created by Bagura, they are very powerful when separated and even more powerful in numbers. The Hige-Hige seem to be always happy in every piece of work they are doing but still expect to be paid for it. To those outside the Hige-Hige Bandits, excluding Mujoe, it appears all they can say is "Hige", but it is apparently a language in and of itself. There are Three types of Hige-Hige bandits. Their uniform consists of an orange scarf, white boots and gloves, and a black full body armor. The programming of Hige-Hige units are stored inside disks that are loaded into the disk drives in their heads.
- Mama - An alien-like bartender working in the Hige-Hige headquarter who debuted in episode 5. Mujoe showed great affection over Mama. She is also well-liked by the Hige-Hige. In episode 40 she is held at the base, but still works as a bartender. Later she was rescued by Mujoe. She returned the feelings by thanking him and put her arms around his neck.

- Dolphin Bomber - A female bomber created in episode 4, capable of making ultrasound bombs and toss back bombs thrown by opponents. However, she has uncontrollable urge of jumping hoops.

She reappeared to compete in B-1 grand prix, but lost in 1st round when the pool where Dolphin Bomber is in dried up.
- Coma Bomber - A spinning top bomber created in episode 5 to help Mujoe to dig tunnels, but it is incapable of digging tunnels.

In the videogame he was created by the combined powers of the Bomber Shitennou and he had more attacks.
[edit] Bomber Shitennou These bombers were created in episode 13 by Mujoe using Mechado's new combination machines on groups of Rapid Panther, Triple Shell, Pteragodon, Elex. The quartet have the ability to create unique arenas that maximize that individual bomber's powers. - Flame Bomber - A flame wielding Bomber who was the first Bomber Shitennou seen in action and defeated White Bomber with his own two hands. He's very childish and doesn't take his work very seriously, and was overpowered then defeated by White Bomber's new flame based bomb star.

His Battlefield is an ancient Chinese temple courtyard.

During her encounter with the Jetters, she fell in love with Birdy but her plans were foiled by Shirobon. She is proud and arrogant, and tends to act more like a spoiled little girl more than anything, using her looks on Mujoe to get what she wants. She also likes to do things her way, or not at all.

Because of this, he has an intense rivalry with Max, as he believes that he's plotting to overthrow Mujoe. He is later defeated by Max's signature attack, Hyper Plasma Bomb. His battlefield is never seen in the anime (MechaDoc interrupted him when he was about to summon it) but the video game reveals that his battlefield is a floating arena surrounded by an electric fence.
[edit] Proto-Max The Proto-Max units are the other MA-X series prototypes besides Max. - Zero (MA-0) - A mysterious android who wields extreme speed and power. He usually wears a cloak in public and bears an extreme resemblance to Max. He is, in fact, the MA prototype MA-0 (hence the unfinished eye plate). He was sent out to absorb Mighty's bomb abilities, but unexpectedly absorbed/copied Mighty's memory in the process. Zero attacked Mechadoc upon awakening, but Mechadoc disabled him and left him in the ruins of the previous Hige-Hige base that had been destroyed by Mighty. Misty later discovered Zero from the ruins and found a doctor to restore Zero into working condition, and Zero worked with Misty under disguise since. When Jetters discovered Zero, the Jetters members believed Zero was Max, until in episode 41, when the real Max appeared alongside with Zero. Zero later told Shirobom that he was the one that had killed Mighty. After his broadcast of Mighty was over, Zero dies. His last words were" Thank you, Shirobon."

- Twist - Shout's father, a widower and the owner of the noodle store. He is usially seen reading a newspaper which covers his face. Due to this, his face is only seen in episodes 26 and 52. He lost his wife, Natsumi, in a supernova explosion while riding a spacecraft.

- Round Jetter - Debuted in Episode 2.
- Marine Jetter - Debuted in Episode 4.
- Drill Jetter - Debuted in Episode 5.
- Sky Jetter
[edit] Running Gags - Shirobon usually tries to distract his opponents by saying, "Look, a komodo dragon." He learned this from Shout, who used it first in Episode 3.
- Whenever Mujoe tries to thank MechaDoc with a slap on the back, he would send MechaDoc flying face first into something like a wall or heavy piece of machinery.
- In some episodes, the Higehige grunts help Shirobon when he's hungry, sick, or can't find the bathroom, usually enabling him to focus on defeating them.
- Whenever Shirobon wins a new Bomb star, he'll always reply with a catchphrase like "I'm a Jetter, that's why I have two Bomb Stars," followed by the repeating of the number of Bomb Stars, which results in Shout strangling him or holding him over a cliff by his antenna.
- Gangu being remodeled by Bongo into any useful object.
- Shout being called fat, mostly by Mujoe or Shirobon. She is also found trying to change scales in various episodes for unknown reasons.
[edit] Differences and similarities from the games Differences - Shirobon and all other bombermen have oval-shaped heads and he is younger than he was in the games.
- MAX is a villain instead of an ally and is a creation of Dr. Mechadoc. He also has red eyes rather than blue ones.
- The Jetters may be the planetary police force that White Bomber is part of in the games, but in the games, it is never named, and has more members, etc.
- Most of the Characters are exclusive in the anime.
- The bombs are not used the same way in the anime. Most of the bombermen use special bombs, like the Fire Bomb, which turns the bomb into a fireball or the Plasma Bomb, which turns it into an energy ball, and regular black time bombs are rarely used. Bombermen will always say "Bomber Shoot" when throwing or launching a bomb, instead of it being laid normally.
- Louie is much smaller in the anime as compared to his game counterpart. But this could be because he is younger in the anime than the game counterparts.
- Bagular and Mujoe are not really villans. But in the games they were.
- Some Charabom's from the game are not prestented.
Similarities - Shout's design borrows a few striking resemblances to Lilith, a female character from Bomberman 64: Second Attack.
- Mama's head is modeled like the Beauty, Eagle, and Elite Crush Bombers of Bomberman Generation.

Shout and Shirobom believed Gran Bomber look familiar, but Shirobom only recognized Gran Bomber was a tourist. Gran Bomber and Shirobom were planting rice, but Shirobom was reluctant. Gran Bomber said planting rice is about getting dirty. In Shirobom's flashback, Mighty said anyone who gets dirty from working in rice field cannot be bad. Gran Bomber taught Shirobom how to plant again, then the rice got matured quickly. Tour guide said the planet's soil is very fertile, so rice planted in morning can be harvested in afternoon. The group ate rice balls made from rice planted by themselves. Louie dropped rice ball into Gran Bomber's field, which landed next to the item. Louie tried to retrieve the rice ball, then Gran Bomber told Louie to stop. Gran Bomber said there were traps to defeat Jetters. Shout said they were here because of Gran Bomber's plan, but Shirobom said they were here for the free rice.

Gran Bomber summoned battlefield, but nothing happened. Gran Bomber said the field looks exactly the same as the surroundings before the summon. Gran Bomber and Shirobom threw bombs at each other, but only Gran Bomber was knocked down. Shout said Gran Bomber's earth element was weak against fire. Gran Bomber tried to get up, but Shirobom told Gran Bomber to stop. Gran Bomber said he must defeat Jetters for the trouble he had got Thunder Bomber and Mujoe into. Shirobom said Gran Bomber was not bad. Tour guide got the unique radish and said the field was designed to grow cabbage. Tour guide decided to make pickles from the item. Max dove into the field and took the item. Shirobom shouted at Max as brother, then Shout noticed it. Shirobom said it was nothing. Shirobom said because the item was gone, he and Gran Bomber did not have to fight, and Max was a good guy. Gran Bomber said Shirobom was good. Shirobom said they should plant rice again. Louie told Shout that the unique radish belonged to Higehige. Shout still concerned how Shirobom had addressed Max. Gran Bomber told Thunder Bomber that Shirobom and Max were good.

In planet Tagaya, Shirobom asked Gran Bomber to join Jetters, but Gran Bomber refused. Gran Bomber decided to ask his brother. After hearing Gran Bomber's plan, Mujoe said it was Gran Bomber's plan to infiltrate Jetters. Meanwhile, Gran Bomber's cart hit a rock. Gran Bomber drilled out the rock with his head, causing water to burst out of the hole. The hot water filled the field beside the cart. Gran Bomber, Shirobom, Shout, Louie took a bath in the pool together. Tour guide appeared and said there was a legend about an ancient Yuu civilization. The civilization possessed hot spring technology, and a unique hot spring egg. When Gangu and Bongo appeared, Gangu was suspicious. Gaugu told Gran Bomber to scrub Gangu's back, Gran Bomber complied. Gangu ordered Gran Bomber to get a can of juice, Gran Bomber complied. At a store, Gran Bomber took the vending machine next to the store, then Thunder Bomber appeared. Blocked by the vending machine, Gran Bomber thought Thunder Bomber turned into a vending machine, until Gran Bomber turned around. Thunder Bomber told Gran Bomber on what Mujoe had said in the bar. Thunder Bomber decided to defeat Jetters by himself, but Gran Bomber decided he would carry on the task of defeating Jetters. Gangu realized Gran Bomber had left for a long time. Shout decided the team should look for the unique item. On a mountain, Gran Bomber practiced his clay bomb, but he realized he could not defeat Shirobom, then he decided to be an apprentice. Gran Bomber went to a pottery to be an apprentice, but the potter did not know anything about bomb. Gran Bomber asked about the dirt next to the potter. Potter said the kiln soil is used to make kiln, and it can be made to resist fire by baking. Inside Drill Jetter, Shout said Gran Bomber was just lost. Drill Jetters dug into a place with hot springs. Shout said it was a site of the ancient civilization. Shout and Gangu saw the egg. Shirobom decided to take a bath. Shout told Shirobom to stop, because it is the female bath time. Shirobom said he was still a kid. Shout told Shirobom to drink fruit flavoured milk. Mujoe's ship landed in the ruins. When Shirobom opened the door to undressing room, Shirobom, Gangu, Bongo saw Mujoe was standing in front of Shout, who was on a scale. Mujoe asked where was Gran Bomber. Gangu said Gran Bomber was on an important mission. Shout appeared, then Gran Bomber emerged from an explosion above the ruins. Gran Bomber challenged Shirobom. Shirobom said Gran Bomber cannot win. Thunder Bomber suggested he would fight instead, but Mujoe said they should leave it to Gran Bomber. Gran Bomber summoned the field. Gran Bomber and Shirobom each threw a bomb, then a brick wall appeared after the explosion was cleared. Bongo said the bricks can block fire. Gran Bomber said it was brick bomb. Gran Bomber and Shirobom threw bombs again. Thunder Bomber realized Brick bomb is only a defensive technique, and Gran Bomber cannot win. In the field, Gran Bomber was panting. Shirobom told Gran Bomber to quit. Gran Bomber demanded Shirobom to attack. Gran Bomber said Shirobom resembled Mighty, and Mighty was a coward. Shirobom threw bomb at Gran Bomber and hit. Shirobom said Gran Bomber was just trying to make him angry, but Gran Bomber denied. Gran Bomber demanded more attacks, but Shirobom refused. Gran Bomber tried to throw Clay bomb, but Gran Bomber dropped the bomb instead, and split the ground. Shirobom fell into the chasm, then Gran Bomber caught Shirobom's hand. Gran Bomber asked Shirobom for forgiveness. Gran Bomber asked Shirobom to turn him back into a Charabom. Gran Bomber said he is part of Higehige, but if he turned back into a Charabom, then he would not belong to Higehige or Jetters. Gran Bomber vowed to plan rice together in future. Gran Bomber threw Shirobom into the air and demand for a fight. At evening, 3 Rapid Panthers appeared. Mujoe appeared besides Shirobom and said Gran Bomber had fought Shirobom fairly to the end. Mujoe said Gran Bomber was a good rival. Shirobom picked up a branch of rice grains and remembered Gran Bomber's promise. | | 22 | "Mighty's Longest Day"
(マイティの一(いち)番(ばん)長(なが)い日(ひ)) | 2003-02-26 | | In a rainy night, Birdy remembered the conversation between him and Shirobom in the cave. In the bar, Thunder Bomber told Mujoe that Bagura was calling Mujoe. In meeting, Bagura assigned Mujoe to deliver mail in planet Gamukuccha. Dr. Ein ordered a mission for a unique beach ball in planet Otto. Shirobom noticed Birdy is missing. Gangu said Birdy had been acting strangely. In planet Otto, Mechado asked why Thunder Bomber chose him on a mission. Thunder Bomber said he wanted to discuss with Mechado. Thunder Bomber said someone Max was trying to frame Mujoe, by using Mujoe as bait to make sure Max to succeed in missions. The Higehige party located the item under a cliff, but the Jetters already got the item. Thunder Bomber challenged Shirobom, but Mechado held Shirobom onto a chair with a balloon above. A train track appeared, with Mechado on the train above the track. Mechado said the balloon contains dangerous water, which will be released by popping the balloon with the needle on the head of the train. Thunder Bomber wanted to fight Shirobom fairly, but Mechado said he hated violence, then he offered a deal for Jetters to give up the item to free Shirobom. Shout accepted the offer. Before Bongo can deliver the item to Mechado, a bomb hit Mechado's train, then Max took the item from Bongo in the middle of the smoke cloud. Max challenged Thunder Bomber to steal the item. When Mechado ordered Max to give back the item, Max said he only follows the terms in Bagura's contract, which allows Max to get unique items from anyone. When Max was leaving, Birdy dove in and took the item. Birdy gave the item to Shout. Thunder Bomber jumped towards Max, but Max knocked back Thunder Bomber. Birdy jumped up, by a lightning bomb hit Birdy. Max charged towards Shout, but Shirobom appeared in front of Shout. Max told Shirobom to move, but Shirobom refused. Max was wounded by Birdy's feather. Max flew away. In Bagura's base, Mujoe searched for a way to defeat Max, then he discovered a disk. Mujoe asked what happened to Thunder Bomber's arm. Thunder Bomber said it was nothing. Thunder Bomber asked what was Mujoe searching. Mujoe said he knew nothing about Max, and this place may contain the needed information, but he could not find anything in the archives. Thunder Bomber said it was a conspiracy against Mujoe, and Max was responsible. Mujoe remembered one of the 3 remaining Higehige bandits in a cave had told Mujoe that every time Mujoe was fighting against Jetters, Max was earning glory on another planet. Mujoe realized he had been used to attract the Jetters. Thunder Bomber said he had some interesting information. In planet Jetter, Shirobom stood in front of Birdy's taxi. Shirobom said Max's bomb was similar to Mighty's. Birdy said he did not believe information from anyone until he can confirm it by himself. Birdy asked if Shirobom knew the day when Mighty disappeared. In flashback, Mujoe's ship appeared in planet bomber, then Mighty was hit. Birdy received a call that the Jetters' next mission is in planet Nonbiri, where Mechado was looking for an airship. Birdy said he should have noticed something. In flashback, the ship reached the orbit of planet Nonbiri. Inside the Jetters' ship, Birdy was injured. After the ship had landed and Birdy had awaken, Gangu said Mighty went to Higehige's headquarters. Birdy said he had fainted because of his injury, so Mighty went to the headquarters on his own. Mighty was able to stop the Higehige's plans, and eventually had gone to Higehige's last base. When Mighty was walking through a corridor, Birdy called in, but Mighty dropped his badge. After the base had exploded, Birdy went to the remains of the last base, where Birdy had found Mighty's badge. Birdy regretted he had not noticed Mighty had been injured during the planet Bomber mission, but Mighty had lied and had said it was only a scratch, when in fact Mighty was more injured than Birdy. In planet Bomber, Birdy asked for Mighty that Birdy should take on the this mission, Mighty agreed for the first time. Birdy said he could not keep up. Mighty decided to leave the next mission to Birdy too. Birdy said if he had noticed Mighty's injury and not collapse during mission, Mighty would not had disappeared. Birdy asked Shirobom to believe in him finding Mighty. Shirobom asked if Birdy think Max is not Mighty? Birdy did not know, but despite using similar bomb, Max had never told he was Mighty; even if Mighty had lost his memory, there was a difference between Max and Mighty. Birdy said Max's bomb did not have human warmth in it. Shirobom ran off from Birdy's taxi. Shirobom decided to believe Max is Mighty. Nightly called Birdy to meet someone, whom had information about Mighty. | | 23 | "Shout's Tears"
(シャウトの淚(なみだ)) | 2003-03-05 | | In flashback, Birdy said if he had noticed Mighty's injury and not collapse during mission, Mighty would not had disappeared. Shirobom ran off from Birdy's taxi. Shirobom decided to believe Max is Mighty. Nightly called Birdy to meet someone, whom had information about Mighty. Birdy's ship left planet Jetter, with Shout monitoring the ship's movement. In Shout's flashback, Birdy had told Shirobom to shut up when Shirobom was about to reveal Max's identity. In planets Tagaya and Otto, Shirobom had referred to Max as his brother. In another planet, Nightly led Birdy to Mujoe, with Shout following them. Mujoe asked information about Max. Birdy gave Mujoe a disk, but Mujoe gave Birdy back the disk, claiming he did not need it. Birdy said Mujoe had been demoted, but Mujoe denied it was the reason for returning the disk. Mujoe said Mighty had died. Birdy noticed someone had been watching the conversation. In planet Jetter, Birdy asked if Shout had heard the news, then Birdy told Shout not to give the information to Shirobom, and he would tell Mighty is fine, because Shirobom still believed Max is Mighty. In noodle store, Shirobom complained about washing dishes, but Shout did not say anything. Shirobom said something was wrong with Shout. Shout told Shirobom to play outside with Louie. Shirobom asked Shout if he can take Louie in next mission, because Louie had been living in planet Bomber, so Louie might recognize Mighty. In Shout's room, there was a picture of Shout and Natsumi together. In Shout's flashback, Shout told her father that she would work hard to fill the role that Natsumi once filled, so they could eventually open restaurants in other planets and make a lot of money. Outside Jetters base, Shirobom, Bongo worried about Shout. Gangu decided to investigate what was behind Shout's trouble. In a street, Shout thought it was difficult for her to accept that Natsumi would never return. Meanwhile, Shirobom, Louie, Bongo, Gangu watched Shout from a street corner. Gangu said Shout wanted the clothes inside the store next to her, but the dress was too expensive. The dress was sold to a family of 3 that came out of the store. Shout said the family had bad taste, and she would never wear such clothes. Gangu said the restaurant was not doing well, so the was searching for spare change on the ground. Shout walked pass another noodle restaurant, then Gangu said Shout did not want to look at noodle soups. When Shout returned to home, Gangu welcomed Shout. Shirobom gave Shout a bowl of grilled octopus ball noodle. Shirobom added sauce and mayonnaise to the bowl. Louie, Bongo, Shout looked awful. Shout said such noodle could be served in the restaurant. Gangu said it was his attempt to save the restaurant. Shout denied the restaurant was floundering, and asked why would grilled octopus ball be put in noodle. Shirobom said Mighty loved grilled octopus ball, and he loved it as well. Shout told others to clean up and left. In Shout's room, Shout thought about Shirobom and his brother. Gangu realized the Jetters had not been dispatched for a whole week, so Shout felt unfulfilled for lack of missions. Outside the store, Shout wondered if she should tell Shirobom the truth. Shout receive a call from disguided Gangu voice that a unique golden noodle bowl had been stolen in planet Jetter. Meanwhile, Shirobom was watching Shout from behind bushes. Gangu asked Shout's location. Shout said she was by a park. Gangu said the Higehige was heading to the park. Gangu told Shirobom, Louie, Bongo that the should dressed like Higehige members. Shirobom, Louie, Bongo appeared from above the slope behind Shout, as Higehige bandits. However, Louie used the wrong voice for Higehige bandit. Gangu appeared with a golden bowl, as the fifth quartet king. Shout asked how could there be a fifth member among quartet kings. Gangu said he was a substitute. Shout asked what was the fifth quartet king's element. Gangu said it was metal. Gangu was hit by Shout's boomerang, then Gangu dropped the bowl and broke it. Gangu, Shirobom, Louie, Bongo ran away, then they reappeared without the costumes. Gangu picked up the shattered bowl, then it shattered again. Shout thanked the others and said they had thought her was depressed, so they had thought of such scheme to cheer her up. Gangu denied such scheme. Shout said she felt okay now. Shirobom said Shout usually nagged and yelled at him, and alway beat him. Shirobom was knocked down by Gangu. Shout said there would be a festival tonight, and they should go together. Shirobom agreed. At night, fireworks were fired into sky. Shirobom and company bought octopus balls, mask, cosmo cotton candy. Shirobom said Momo would take them to festival on planet Bomber, and Mighty was good at target shooting and would won a lot of toys, and Mighty had bought Shirobom octopus ball, and had thrown fireworks bomb. Shirobom threw a fireworks bomb. Shirobom wished Mighty could see him throwing fireworks bomb. Birdy's taxi stopped behind Shirobom, Shout, Louie, Bongo, Gangu. Shout said Shirobom had thought about Mighty for too long. Shirobom asked why. Shout said Shirobom has 3 bombstars, and is Hiroshi's older brother. Shirobom said he would always be Mighty's younger brother. Shout said Shirobom could not be spoiled forever. Shirobom vowed he would save Max when they meet next time. Shirobom said Mighty's memory was lost in the accident, and if he took Louie along, Mighty would remember them, because Max is Mighty. Shout said Mighty was dead. Shout said she had heard Mujoe telling Birdy that Mighty had died. Shirobom went down via the slope. | | 24 | "Lightning Thunder Bomber!"

There are also 2 Jetters game for GBA. The first one is similar to Bomberman Story, but player controls Mighty. Bomberman Jetters Game Collection is a collection of Mini-games in addition to the Bomberman multiplayer battle mode where you can choose to play as the characters from the TV series such as White Bomber, Shout, Birdy, Mujo, Mighty and others.
