The game's story begins when a typical Japanese insurance company salaryman (who is a caricature of Namco's then-62-year-old founder, Masaya Nakamura; however, his first name is "Aruhi", written in Hiragana as ''あるひ''), sees an alien from Planet Alpha in the sky, who informs him that an evil scientist named Dr. Bomb and his army are planning to take over the planet; the alien then gives him a metal rod, a tuning fork and a 100-yen coin (which was the standard Japanese currency for the operation of arcade cabinets at the time), transforming him into a [[wp:Tokusatsu|tokusatsu]] superhero named "Bravoman" who must use his extendable bionic limbs to fight Dr. Bomb and his henchmen - and he will not stop until they have all been defeated (except for the Tekyuu) and the world is once again safe for all humanity.

Story[edit]

The game's story begins when a typical Japanese insurance company salaryman (who is a caricature of Namco's then-62-year-old founder, Masaya Nakamura, 1925-2017, but his name here was "Aruhi", written in Hiragana as あるひ) sees an alien from the Planet Alpha in the sky, who informs him that an evil scientist named Dr. Bomb (original Japanese name: Bakuda-Hakase, 爆田博士) and his army are planning to take over the world; the alien then gives him a metal rod, a tuning fork and a 100-yen coin (the last one being the standard Japanese currency for the operation of arcade cabinets at that time), transforming him into a tokusatsu superhero named "Bravoman", who must use his extendable bionic limbs to fight Dr. Bomb and his henchmen, and he will not stop until they have all been defeated (with the exception of Tekyuu, as they are indestructible) and the world is once again safe for all humanity.
