90-448: Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive ( 救急戦隊ゴーゴーファイブ , Kyūkyū Sentai Gōgō Faibu , Rescue Squadron GoGoFive) is a Japanese Tokusatsu television series and the twenty-third entry of the long-running Japanese Super Sentai metaseries . It aired from February 21, 1999, to February 6, 2000, replacing Seijuu Sentai Gingaman , and was replaced by Mirai Sentai Timeranger . It was announced by Shout! Factory on January 9, 2018, that GoGoFive

180-558: A 25 kV AC overhead power supply (20 kV AC on Mini-shinkansen lines), to overcome the limitations of the 1,500 V direct current used on the existing electrified narrow-gauge system. Power is distributed along the train's axles to reduce the heavy axle loads under single power cars. The AC frequency of the power supply for the Tokaido Shinkansen is 60 Hz. Shinkansen trains are electric multiple units (EMUs), offering fast acceleration, deceleration and reduced damage to

270-448: A competent person may voluntarily expose themself to may be significantly higher. Liability for compensation for loss or injury during a rescue is a complex matter. Some rescue operations require a high degree of competence and are usually performed by specialist rescue squads with appropriate training, either independent or part of larger organizations such as fire , police , military , first aid , or ambulance services. In

360-522: A 387.5 km (241 mi) section of the Tōhoku Shinkansen ). Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record 603 km/h (375 mph) for SCMaglev trains in April 2015. The original Tokaido Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo , Nagoya , and Osaka , three of Japan's largest cities, is one of the world's busiest high-speed rail lines. In

450-519: A bullet and its high speed. The Shinkansen name was first formally used in 1940 for a proposed standard gauge passenger and freight line between Tokyo and Shimonoseki that would have used steam and electric locomotives with a top speed of 200 km/h (120 mph). Over the next three years, the Ministry of Railways drew up more ambitious plans to extend the line to Beijing (through a tunnel to Korea ) and even Singapore , and build connections to

540-437: A concern for residents living close to tunnel portals. The slab track consists of rails, fasteners and track slabs with a cement asphalt mortar. On the roadbed and in tunnels, circular upstands, measuring 400–520 mm (16–20 inches) in diameter and 200 mm (7.9 inches) high, are located at 5-metre intervals. The prefabricated upstands are made of either reinforced concrete or pre-stressed reinforced concrete; they prevent

630-544: A dispute between JR East and JR Central about the use of the two platforms which were added to the Tokaido line's half of Tokyo station. Before JNR's privatization, they were conceived as being shared with the Tohoku line, and their construction used funds allocated to the Tohoku line's extension to Tokyo; however, the extension was finished after privatization, by which time the platforms were owned by JR Central. Therefore, there

720-412: A duty to rescue other people from serious and imminent danger when the risk and cost to oneself is low. This duty is not easily explained as part of a broader consequentialist requirement to prevent harm, nor is it a duty of social justice owed between citizens as part of a social contract for mutual protection. It is rather a duty of justice in its own right that is based on the direct encounter between

810-423: A general rule, a higher level of risk may be acceptable for actions more likely to result in successful rescue of a larger number of people, or of a person or persons of higher value to the rescuer. Laws relating to rescue operations may constrain the activities of the rescuers by limiting the level of risk they may be exposed to under the direction of an employer (occupational safety legislation). The level of risk

900-642: A group of children inside. Matoi barely survived the explosion. The Mars Machines ( マーズマシン , Māzu Mashin ) are five space rescue vehicles that come when given the command "Mars Machines!", and can combine to form the Beetle Mars ( ビートルマーズ , Bītoru Māzu ) via Meteor Fusion ( 流星合体 , Ryūsei Gattai ) with the command "4-5-6, V" in the V-Mode Brace – a four-legged mecha with the Mars Cannon ( マーズキャノン , Māzu Kyanon ) on its top, or in

990-505: A high ride quality and less electrical equipment. ) In Japan, significant engineering desirability exists for the electric multiple unit configuration. A greater proportion of motored axles permits higher acceleration, so the Shinkansen does not lose as much time if stopping frequently. Shinkansen lines have more stops in proportion to their lengths than high-speed lines elsewhere in the world. The main Shinkansen lines are: In practice,

1080-600: A low-interest loan of US$ 80 million from the World Bank . Initial estimates, however, were understated and the actual cost was about 380 billion yen. As the budget shortfall became clear in 1963, Sogo resigned to take responsibility. A test facility for rolling stock, called the Kamonomiya Model Section, opened in Odawara in 1962. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen began service on 1 October 1964, in time for

1170-463: A maximum speed of 130 km/h (80 mph), and 10.3 km (6.4 mi) of spur lines with Shinkansen services. The network links most major cities on the islands of Honshu and Kyushu , and connects to Hakodate on the northern island of Hokkaido . An extension to Sapporo is under construction and scheduled to open in March 2031. The maximum operating speed is 320 km/h (200 mph) (on

1260-666: A minimum curve radius of 4,000 m (13,123 ft) (2,500 m (8,202 ft) on the oldest Tōkaidō Shinkansen). The Shinkansen uses 1,435 mm ( 4 ft  8 + 1 ⁄ 2  in ) standard gauge in contrast to the 1,067 mm ( 3 ft 6 in ) narrow gauge of most other lines in Japan. Continuous welded rail and swingnose crossing points are employed, eliminating gaps at turnouts and crossings. Long rails are used, joined by expansion joints to minimize gauge fluctuation due to thermal elongation and shrinkage. A combination of ballasted and slab track

1350-682: A passenger committed suicide on board a Shinkansen train by setting himself on fire, killing another passenger and seriously injuring seven other people. There have been two derailments of Shinkansen trains in passenger service. The first one occurred during the Chūetsu earthquake on 23 October 2004 . Eight of ten cars of the Toki No. 325 train on the Jōetsu Shinkansen derailed near Nagaoka Station in Nagaoka, Niigata . There were no casualties among

1440-505: A pig which had been seized as a distress for non-payment of money owed. Shinkansen The Shinkansen ( Japanese : 新幹線 , [ɕiŋkaꜜɰ̃seɴ] , lit.   ' new trunk line ' ) , colloquially known in English as the bullet train , is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan . It was initially built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo ,

1530-422: A range of advanced technology compared with conventional rail, achieving not only high speed but also a high standard of safety and comfort. Its success has influenced other railways in the world, demonstrating the importance and advantages of high-speed rail . Shinkansen routes never intersect with slower, narrow-gauge conventional lines (except mini-shinkansen , which runs along these older lines). Consequently,

1620-400: A standard-gauge rail has a curve with a maximum speed of 145 km/h (90 mph), the same curve on narrow-gauge rail will have a maximum allowable speed of 130 km/h (81 mph). Consequently, Japan had a greater need for new high-speed lines than countries where the existing standard gauge or broad gauge rail system had more upgrade potential. Among the key people credited with

1710-677: A trainset in order to perform high-speed tests. This train gave designers the confidence that they could safely build an even faster standard gauge train. Thus the first Shinkansen, the 0 series, was built on the success of the Romancecar. In the 1950s, the Japanese national attitude was that as was happening in the United States, railways would soon be outdated and replaced by air travel and highways. However, Shinji Sogō , President of Japanese National Railways , insisted strongly on

1800-433: A wide range of circumstances and environments, and specialised procedures have been developed for many of these. A rescue may also be performed on an ad hoc basis by the people who are available on site, using equipment available on site or assembled from available materials, particularly when the rescue is urgent or it is unlikely that specialist assistance will be available within a reasonable time. First aid medical attention

1890-743: Is Mondo Tatsumi's final robot, which resembles the Max Victory Robo but is colored black. This mecha is powered by the Tatsumi siblings' mental energy waves and has a sword that resembles the Victory Robo's Braver Sword, but its hilt has a red color rather than a blue color. It is used in the final episode by the GoGoFive to stop the Grandiene-possessed Zylpheeza and Salamandes, after the original Max Victory Robo

SECTION 20

#1732787373173

1980-810: Is a group of five giant train cars that were designed to carry the 99 Machines into battle. After the Mars Machines were built, the Five Liner was loaded with the Mars Machines and hauled into space by the Max Shuttle in the Space Go Liner ( スペースゴーライナー , Supēsu Gō Rainā ) formation for the GoGoFive to use the Victory Mars. The Five Liner was also modified to form their own giant robo, Grand Liner ( グランドライナー , Gurando Rainā ) , via Coupling Fusion ( 連結合体 , Renketsu Gattai ) which

2070-447: Is also closely associated with rescue operations, and may be subject to different legal constraints. Occupational safety and health legislation may be waived for rescue operations where there is a realistic probability of saving a life, but not for body recovery. Interspecies rescue can occur when people rescue animals, when animals are part of a rescue team, and less often, when animals rescue people on their own initiative. Self-rescue

2160-517: Is approximately 1.4 times taller than the Victory Robo. Normally powered by both the Five Liner and the 99 Machines stored in the cars, it was revealed in episode 20 that without the 99 Machines, Grand Liner's operation time is limited to where it only has enough energy to fight for a short time. Go Liner 1 ( ゴーライナー1 , Gō Rainā Wan ) (which transports the Red Ladder or the Red Mars 1) forms

2250-417: Is no longer in vogue. Within the practice of psychoanalysis , the term has taken on the additional sense concerning therapists' desire to 'rescue' their clients. Historically, rescue could refer to an act of property seizure in service of an unpaid debt. For example, there is record of a countryman living in the vicinity of present-day Wythenshawe being prosecuted in a local court for "making rescue" of

2340-722: Is no through service between those lines. All northbound services from Tokyo travel along the Tohoku Shinkansen until at least Ōmiya before splitting off towards Sendai or Takasaki. Two further lines, known as Mini-shinkansen , have also been constructed by re-gauging and upgrading existing sections of line: There are two standard-gauge lines not technically classified as Shinkansen lines but run Shinkansen trains as they use tracks leading to Shinkansen storage/maintenance yards: The following lines are under construction. These lines except Chūō Shinkansen , called Seibi Shinkansen  [ ja ] or planned Shinkansen , are

2430-525: Is often closely associated with rescue, and may be a necessary part of a rescue. Equipment used might include search and rescue dogs , mounted search and rescue horses , helicopters , the " jaws of life ", and other hydraulic cutting and spreading tools used to extricate occupants from wrecked vehicles . Rescue operations may be supported by rescue vehicles operated by rescue squads . Searches are often associated with rescues when persons are missing and likely to be in danger. Body recovery

2520-454: Is the process of getting out of an emergency by one's own efforts as an individual or a group. Merriam-Webster defines rescue as to free from confinement, danger, or evil, including to forcibly take someone or something from custody or relieve them from attack. Rescue also implies that the danger is imminent and the action is generally prompt or vigorous. Circumstances that lead to the necessity for rescue can develop due to bad luck, when

2610-498: Is used today in English-language announcements and signage. Japan was the first country to build dedicated railway lines for high-speed travel. Because of the mountainous terrain, the existing network consisted of 1,067 mm ( 3 ft 6 in ) narrow-gauge lines, which generally took indirect routes and could not be adapted to higher speeds due to technical limitations of narrow-gauge rail. For example, if

2700-431: Is used, with slab track exclusively employed on concrete bed sections such as viaducts and tunnels. Slab track is significantly more cost-effective in tunnel sections, since the lower track height reduces the cross-sectional area of the tunnel, reducing construction costs up to 30%. However, the smaller diameter of Shinkansen tunnels, compared to some other high-speed lines, has resulted in the issue of tunnel boom becoming

2790-599: Is usually a transponder to broadcast a distress signal allowing the location to be established. Rescue is a potent theme in human psychology , both from mortal perils and moral perils, and is often treated in fiction , with the rescue of a damsel in distress being a notable trope. Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud introduced the concept of "rescue fantasies" by men pursuing "fallen women" in his 1910 work "A Special Type of Choice of Object Made by Men"; Freud's insight into this aspect of male psychology might retain merit, though his proposed Oedipus complex used to frame this concept

2880-679: The 0 series , ran at speeds of up to 210 km/h (130 mph), later increased to 220 km/h (137 mph). The last of these trains, with their classic bullet-nosed appearance, were retired on 30 November 2008. A driving car from one of the 0 series trains was donated by JR West to the National Railway Museum in York , United Kingdom in 2001. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen's rapid success prompted an extension westward to Okayama , Hiroshima and Fukuoka (the San'yō Shinkansen ), which

2970-761: The Narita Sky Access Line which opened in 2010, and the Keiyo Line reused space originally set aside for the Narita Shinkansen terminus at Tokyo Station . Although the Sky Access Line uses standard-gauge track, it was not built to Shinkansen specifications and there are no plans to convert it into a full Shinkansen line. Many Shinkansen lines were proposed during the boom of the early 1970s but have yet to be constructed and have subsequently been shelved indefinitely. In addition,

3060-602: The Trans-Siberian Railway and other trunk lines in Asia. These plans were abandoned in 1943 as Japan's position in World War II worsened. However, some construction did commence on the line; several tunnels on the present-day Shinkansen date to the war-era project. Following the end of World War II, high-speed rail was forgotten for several years while traffic of passengers and freight steadily increased on

3150-697: The Tōhoku Shinkansen ; only the Shanghai maglev train , China Railway High-speed networks, and the Indonesian Jakarta-Bandung High-speed railway have commercial services that operate faster. Since 1970, development has also been underway for the Chūō Shinkansen , a planned maglev line from Tokyo to Osaka. On 21 April 2015, a seven-car L0 series maglev trainset set a world speed record of 603 km/h (375 mph). To enable high-speed operation, Shinkansen uses

3240-431: The first Tokyo Olympics . The conventional Limited Express service took six hours and 40 minutes from Tokyo to Osaka, but the Shinkansen made the trip in just four hours, shortened to three hours and ten minutes by 1965. It enabled day trips between Tokyo and Osaka, the two largest metropolises in Japan, significantly changed the style of business and life of the Japanese people, and increased new traffic demand. The service

3330-569: The locomotive (also known as power car) configuration with the Renfe Class 102 and continues with it for the Talgo AVRIL because it is not possible to use powered bogies as part of Talgo's bogie design, which uses a modified Jacobs bogie with a single axle instead of two and allows the wheels to rotate independently of each other, on the ICE 2, TGV and KTX it is because it easily allows for

3420-654: The 154 passengers. Another derailment happened on 2 March 2013 on the Akita Shinkansen when the Komachi No. 25 train derailed in blizzard conditions in Daisen, Akita . No passengers were injured. In the event of an earthquake, an earthquake detection system can bring the train to a stop very quickly; newer trainsets are lighter and have stronger braking systems, allowing for quicker stopping. New anti-derailment devices were installed on tracks after analysis of

3510-571: The Basic Plan specified that the Jōetsu Shinkansen should start from Shinjuku , not Tokyo Station , which would have required building an additional 30 km (19 mi) of track between Shinjuku and Ōmiya. While no construction work was ever started, land along the proposed track, including an underground section leading to Shinjuku Station, remains reserved. If capacity on the Tokyo–Ōmiya section proves insufficient at some point, construction of

3600-516: The Galaxy Double Flare ( 銀河ダブルフレア , Ginga Daburu Furea ) . It once used Victory Robo's Braver Sword for an attack called Mars Prominence ( マーズプロミネンス , Māzu Purominensu ) . In the finale, the Victory Mars had its left arm torn apart, thus rendering it useless in the battle against the Grandiene-possessed Zylpheeza and Salamandes. Max Victory Robo Black Version ( マックスビクトリーロボ ブラックバージョン , Makkusu Bikutorī Robo Burakku Bājon )

3690-785: The Grand Cross had formed. Her children, the Psyma Four Siblings, awaited her arrival, sending Psyma Beasts to destroy and finish off human civilization. They have their headquarters, the Demon Palace Psyma Paradico ( 魔宮サイマパラディコ , Makyū Saima Paradiko ) , at the North Pole. The Psyma Beasts ( サイマ獣 , Saimajū ) are the demons that the Psyma family use to attack the humans. They start out as cards detailing information about them and Pierre throws

The robot has gatling weapons, as well as its Grand Fire ( グランドファイヤー , Gurando Faiyā ) and Grand Storm ( グランドストーム , Gurando Sutōmu ) finishers (where the cannon weapons are transferred from the shoulders to

3870-778: The Grand Liner's right arm. Go Liner 2 ( ゴーライナー2 , Gō Rainā Tsū ) (which transports the Blue Thrower or the Blue Mars 2) forms the Grand Liner's left arm. Go Liner 3 ( ゴーライナー3 , Gō Rainā Surī ) (which transports the Green Hover or the Green Mars 3) forms the Grand Liner's head, torso, and upper legs. Go Liner 4 ( ゴーライナー4 , Gō Rainā Fō ) (which transports the Yellow Armor or the Yellow Mars 4) forms

3960-523: The L0 series could be a passenger train. The Shinkansen is very reliable thanks to several factors, including its near-total separation from slower traffic. There are separate laws governing interfering with or otherwise obstructing Shinkansen trains, tracks, or its operation. In 2016, JR Central reported that the Shinkansen's average delay from schedule per train was 24 seconds. This includes delays due to uncontrollable causes, such as natural disasters. Over

4050-500: The Max Shuttle ( マックスシャトル , Makkusu Shatoru ) can haul the Five Liner that is loaded with the Mars Machines into space. When the command "Express Armament!" ( 特急武装! , Tokkyū Busō! ) is given after collecting enough solar energy from space, the Max Liner's front wheel assemblies become the arms, the rear section becomes the legs, the nose becomes the back (revealing the head), Liner Boy ( ライナーボーイ , Rainā Bōi ) , whilst

4140-469: The Max Victory Robo has is an array of solar panels, which enables it to absorb power from explosions. In its finisher, Max Nova, it unleashes its rail-gun style hip cannons and combines the firepower from all of the Max Victory Robo's guns. In the finale, the Max Victory Robo was blown to pieces when Matoi moved it in the way of a blast shot by Zylpheeza and Salamandes to protect a flammable building, in which Daimon and Matsuri just escaped from while rescuing

4230-475: The Red Ladder forms the chest and arms and the Green Hover forms the head and upper back. This robot is equipped with extendable arms used in an attack called Rapid Ladder Bomber, where the arms extend and deliver long-range punches. Another attack the Victory Robo can perform is the Ladder Wheel Crash. Since Victory Robo or the other mechs could not be repaired in time for Timeranger VS GoGo Five ,

4320-609: The Shinjuku–Ōmiya link may be reconsidered. In December 2009, then transport minister Seiji Maehara proposed a bullet train link to Haneda Airport , using an existing spur that connects the Tōkaidō Shinkansen to a train depot. JR Central called the plan "unrealistic" due to tight train schedules on the existing line, but reports said that Maehara wished to continue discussions on the idea. The succeeding minister has not indicated whether this proposal remains supported. While

4410-554: The Shinkansen projects designated in the Basic Plan of the Shinkansen Railway  [ ja ] decided by the government. The Narita Shinkansen project to connect Tokyo to Narita International Airport , initiated in the 1970s but halted in 1983 after landowner protests, has been officially cancelled and removed from the Basic Plan governing Shinkansen construction. Parts of its planned right-of-way were used by

4500-500: The Shinkansen's 60-plus year history, carrying over 10 billion passengers, there have been no passenger fatalities due to train accidents such as derailments or collisions, despite frequent earthquakes and typhoons. Injuries and a single fatality have been caused by doors closing on passengers or their belongings; attendants are employed at platforms to prevent such accidents. There have, however, been suicides by passengers jumping both from and in front of moving trains. On 30 June 2015,

4590-731: The Tatsumi siblings find themselves recruited by their estranged father to fight the demons as the GoGoFive team. The Tatsumi Family ( 巽家 , Tatsumi-ke ) is from a long line of "machi-bikeshi" (firefighters of Edo, the capital of the Tokugawa Shogunate ) and they are portrayed as providing emergency and rescue services in Tokyo. These are mecha which come out of the Bay Area 55 ( ベイエリア55 , Bei Eria Go Go ) base and its Max Area ( マックスエリア , Makkusu Eria ) . The 99 Machines ( 99マシン , Kyūkyū Mashin ) are usually sortied at

4680-529: The Tokaido, San'yō, and Kyushu lines form a contiguous west/southbound line from Tokyo, as train services run between the Tokaido and San'yō lines and between the San'yō and Kyushu lines, though the lines are operated by different companies. The Tokaido Shinkansen tracks are not physically connected to the lines of the Tohoku Shinkansen at Tokyo Station, as they use different electrification standards, signaling systems, and earthquake mitigation devices. There also exists

4770-626: The U.S., they are usually staffed by medically trained personnel as NFPA regulations require it. Other rescues can be performed by any able bodied person who happens to be available at the time, using tools and equipment as may be available. There may be legal protection for non-specialist persons performing rescues for which they are not technically qualified in an emergency, in case they accidentally harm anyone or damage or trespass on property while attempting an apparently urgent rescue. Laws will vary depending on jurisdiction. Special situations involving rescue, and specialised rescue equipment, include

4860-479: The Victory Mars' head and upper torso. The Blue Mars 2 forms the Beetle Mars' hind legs, which becomes the Victory Mars' arms. The Green Mars 3 forms the Beetle Mars' chest, which becomes Victory Mars' waist. The Yellow Mars 4 forms the Beetle Mars' left leg, which becomes the Victory Mars' own. Pink Mars 5 forms Beetle Mars' right leg, which becomes Victory Mars' own. Unlike the other mecha, the Mars Machines have different technology that allows them to function without

4950-600: The Victory Robo combines with the Max Shuttle it creates the Max Victory Robo ( マックスビクトリーロボ , Makkusu Bikutorī Robo ) with the command "3-5-6 V" in the V-Mode Brace and the vocal command of "Max Formation" ( マックスフォーメーション , Makkusu Fōmēshon ) . Armaments provided from Liner Boy include jets stored within the feet that provide additional maneuverability, and the V-Max Cannons, which are two small wrist guns. Liner Boy forms Max Victory Robo's helmet, breastplate, pauldrons, gauntlets, fauld, and greaves. Another ability

5040-555: The Victory Walker ( ビクトリーウォーカー , Bikutorī Wōkā ) is formed – the Blue Thrower forms the Victory Walker's cockpit (the Victory Robo's waist) and upper legs, the Yellow Armor forms the Victory Robo's lower left leg and the Pink Aider forms the Victory Robo's lower right leg. The Victory Walker is equipped with the Chemical Extinguishers. After forming the Victory Walker they form the Victory Robo, in which

5130-760: The aid of solar energy. Therefore, it is the only mecha that is able to battle effectively when Salamandes creates the Psyma Zone. In the GoGoFive vs. Gingaman special, the Victory Mars briefly gained the power of the Gingaman's Lights of Ginga's Armor and became Super Armor Shine Victory Mars ( 超装光ビクトリーマーズ , Chōsōkō Bikutorī Māzu ) , wielding both the Jet Lance and the Super Rescue Silver Armor Sword ( 超救急銀鎧剣 , Chō Kyūkyū Gingaiken ) in its enhanced mode, and using an attack called

5220-452: The battle against the Grandiene-possessed Zylpheeza and Salamandes. It is repaired, however, in time to be used again in events of Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki . The Max Liner ( マックスライナー , Makkusu Rainā ) , modelled after a bullet train , was created by Mondo Tatsumi with some assistance from Kyouko. It had an A.I. unit, which allowed it to fight on autopilot. By the command "Emergency Launch!" ( 緊急発進! , Kinkyū Hasshin! ) ,

5310-744: The capital, to aid economic growth and development. Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network. It is owned by the Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency and operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. Starting with the Tokaido Shinkansen (515.4 km; 320.3 mi) in 1964, the network has expanded to consist of 2,951.3 km (1,833.9 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 260–320 km/h (160–200 mph), 283.5 km (176.2 mi) of Mini-shinkansen lines with

By the mid-1950s the Tōkaidō Line was operating at full capacity, and the Ministry of Railways decided to revisit the Shinkansen project. In 1957, Odakyu Electric Railway introduced its 3000 series SE Romancecar train, setting a world speed record of 145 km/h (90 mph) for a narrow gauge train when JNR leased

5760-423: The conventional loading gauge for 1,067mm lines still applies on mini-Shinkansen lines. The Shinkansen has used EMUs from the outset, with the 0 Series Shinkansen having all axles powered. Other railway manufacturers were traditionally reluctant or unable to use distributed traction configurations ( Talgo , the German ICE 2 and the French (and subsequently South Korean) TGV (and KTX-I and KTX-Sancheon ) use

Originally intended to carry passenger trains by day and freight trains by night, the Shinkansen lines carried exclusively passengers for the first five and a half decades of their operation. Lght freight has been carried on some passenger services since 2019, and there are plans to expand this with freight-only trains in

5940-416: The events were not foreseeable, duty, where there is known risk, but the person is legally or ethically obliged to take the risk, through voluntary assumption of reasonable risk in the pursuit of profit, knowledge, entertainment or other perceived reward, ignorance of risk foreseeable by a well informed person, denial of obvious risk, or intentional exposure to obvious risk. It is a common belief that one has

6030-445: The fender becomes the Blaster Shield ( ブラスターシールド , Burasutā Shīrudo ) weapon, and the solar-panelled side becomes the chest. This robot could combine with the Victory Robo to form the Max Victory Robo. Although the Liner Boy's body was destroyed in the finale by the Grandiene-possessed Zylpheeza and Salamandes Dragon, the A.I. unit survived the destruction. One of its attacks is the Liner Kick ( ライナーキック , Rainā Kikku ) . When

6120-399: The fists to provide additional power. The left shoulder cannon fires Liner Homing ( ライナーホーミング , Rainā Hōmingu ) missiles, and the right cannon fires Liner Gatling ( ライナーガトリング , Rainā Gatoringu ) bullets) are the only weapons strong enough to pierce the hardened armor of the Golem Psyma Beasts. In the finale, the Grand Liner had his right arm torn apart, thus rendering it useless in

6210-406: The following topics: Rescue equipment can be any equipment used for the purpose of rescue, but particularly equipment designed, manufactured, and marketed for rescue applications. Ropes and special equipment may be used to reach and remove living people and animals from difficult locations. Some equipment may be carried by people or vehicles intended to facilitate rescue if an incident occurs. This

6300-835: The future. The system shuts down between midnight and 06:00 every day for maintenance. Japan's few remaining overnight passenger trains run on the older, narrow-gauge network that the Shinkansen parallels. There are three principal service types on the Shinkansen: Trains are up to sixteen cars long. With each car measuring 25 m (82 ft) in length, the longest trains are 400 m ( 1 ⁄ 4  mile) end to end. Stations are similarly long to accommodate these trains. Some of Japan's high-speed maglev trains are considered Shinkansen, while other slower maglev trains (such as Linimo , serving local communities in and nearby Nagoya , Aichi Prefecture ) are intended as alternatives to conventional urban rapid transit systems. These trains were and are used only for experimental runs, though

6390-461: The high cost of building the Shinkansen network. By the early 1980s, the company was practically insolvent, leading to its privatization in 1987. Development of the Shinkansen by the privatised regional JR companies has continued, with new train models developed, each generally with its own distinctive appearance (such as the 500 series introduced by JR West ). Since 2014, Shinkansen trains run regularly at speeds up to 320 km/h (200 mph) on

6480-458: The highest annual passenger ridership (a maximum of 386 million in 2007) of any high-speed rail network until 2011, when the Chinese high-speed railway network surpassed it at 370 million passengers annually, reaching over 2.9 billion annual passengers in 2023. Shinkansen ( 新幹線 ) in Japanese means 'new trunk line' or 'new main line', but this word is used to describe both the railway lines

6570-455: The more common 4-abreast (2+2) seating usually found elsewhere. On occasions, this wider loading gauge was also used to allow 6-abreast seating (3+3) on certain trains, such as the E1 and E4 series sets. This, combined with a lack of power cars, allows for a higher passenger capacity within a shorter train length. However, since mini-Shinkansen lines are effectively track-regauged conventional lines,

6660-523: The more humanoid Victory Mars ( ビクトリーマーズ , Bikutorī Māzu ) via Rising Formation ( ライジングフォーメーション , Raijingu Fōmēshon ) . By launching the Top Jet ( トップジェット , Toppu Jetto ) from its Jet Lance ( ジェットランス , Jetto Ransu ) , it can perform the Mars Flare ( マーズフレア , Māzu Furea ) finisher to destroy Giant Psyma Beasts. The Red Mars 1 forms the Beetle Mars' head and body, which becomes

6750-444: The one-year period preceding March 2017, it carried 159 million passengers, and since its opening more than six decades ago, it has transported more than 6.4 billion total passengers. At peak times, the line carries up to 16 trains per hour in each direction with 16 cars each (1,323-seat capacity and occasionally additional standing passengers) with a minimum headway of three minutes between trains. The Shinkansen network of Japan had

6840-599: The plan may become more feasible after the opening the Chūō Shinkansen (sometimes referred to as a bypass to the Tokaido Shinkansen) frees up capacity, construction is already underway for other rail improvements between Haneda and Tokyo station expected to be completed prior to the opening of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics , so any potential Shinkansen service would likely offer only marginal benefit. Despite these plans ultimately not being realized (owing in part due to

6930-458: The possibility of high-speed rail , and the Shinkansen project was implemented. Government approval came in December 1958, and construction of the first segment of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka started in April 1959. The cost of constructing the Shinkansen was at first estimated at nearly 200 billion yen, which was raised in the form of a government loan, railway bonds and

7020-573: The preparations while making Earth into a realm of darkness for her. But Professor Mondo Tatsumi of the Tatsumi Disaster Prevention Research Center, while failing to convince his peers of this event despite his eminence, left his family to secretly develop the Rescue System to counter the threat by the Psyma Family. When the Psyma commence their attack in 1999, months before the Grand Cross is to occur,

7110-491: The rescuer and the persons in danger, which limits its scope. The situation may be complicated when there are more than one person in a position to contribute towards rescue efforts, and the responsibility is diffused amongst the group until it has been fairly allocated among those present, at which stage justice requires each to discharge their own share, though it would be considered a humanitarian duty to compensate for inadequate response by other persons for whatever reason. As

7200-635: The shinkansen is not affected by slower local or freight trains (except for Hokkaido Shinkansen while traveling through the Seikan Tunnel ), and has the capacity to operate many high-speed trains punctually. In addition, shinkansen routes (excluding mini-shinkansen) are completely grade separated from roads and highways, meaning railway crossings are almost eliminated. Tracks are strictly off-limits with penalties against trespassing strictly regulated by law. The routes use tunnels and viaducts to go through and over obstacles rather than around them, with

7290-619: The team had to resort to bringing them back from the past for a short while to help the Timerangers in Time Robo. Despite having to be sent back to the past after that battle is over, Victory Robo would later rebuilt as shown by Red Ladder's physical reappearance, and then Gao King receiving power from Victory Robo among other giant robots, in Gaoranger VS Super Sentai . The Five Liner ( ファイブライナー , Faibu Rainā )

7380-407: The technical development of the first line, the Tōkaidō Shinkansen . All three had worked on aircraft design during World War II . The popular English name bullet train is a literal translation of the Japanese term dangan ressha ( 弾丸列車 ) , a nickname given to the project while it was initially discussed in the 1930s. The name stuck because of the original 0 Series Shinkansen 's resemblance to

7470-522: The toy incarnation could be devolved into six separate mecha. The Psyma Family ( 災魔一族 , Saima Ichizoku , Calamity Demon Family) is a family of demons whose only objective is destruction and intends to use the Grand Cross planet alignment to bring great calamity to Earth. The Family's matriarch, the Grand Witch Grandiene, hoped to travel to the real world by using the great amounts of "negative energy" that would emerge on Earth when

7560-508: The track because of the use of lighter vehicles compared to locomotives or power cars. The coaches are air-sealed to ensure stable air pressure when entering tunnels at high speed. Shinkansen trains (excluding mini-Shinkansen) are also built to a larger loading gauge compared to conventional-speed rolling stock. This larger loading gauge permits wider coaches, allowing for 5-abreast seating (2+3) in Standard Class coaches, compared to

7650-708: The track slab from moving latitudinally or longitudinally. One track slab weighs approximately 5 tons and is 2,220–2,340 mm (87–92 inches) wide, 4,900–4,950 mm (193–195 inches) long and 160–200 mm (6.3–7.9 inches) thick. The Shinkansen employs an ATC (Automatic Train Control) system, eliminating the need for trackside signals. It uses a comprehensive system of Automatic Train Protection . Centralized traffic control manages all train operations, and all tasks relating to train movement, track, station and schedule are networked and computerized. Shinkansen uses

7740-420: The trains run on and the trains themselves. In English, the trains are also known as the bullet train. The term bullet train ( 弾丸列車 , dangan ressha ) originates from 1939, and was the initial name given to the Shinkansen project in its earliest planning stages. Furthermore, the name super express ( 超特急 , chō-tokkyū ) , used exclusively until 1972 for Hikari trains on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen ,

7830-684: Was an immediate success, reaching the 100 million passenger mark in less than three years on 13 July 1967, and one billion passengers in 1976. Sixteen-car trains were introduced for Expo '70 in Osaka. With an average of 23,000 passengers per hour in each direction in 1992, the Tōkaidō Shinkansen was the world's busiest high-speed rail line. As of 2014, the train's 50th anniversary, daily passenger traffic rose to 391,000 which, spread over its 18-hour schedule, represented an average of just under 22,000 passengers per hour. The first Shinkansen trains,

7920-410: Was completed in 1975. Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka was an ardent supporter of the Shinkansen, and his government proposed an extensive network paralleling most existing trunk lines. Two new lines, the Tōhoku Shinkansen and Jōetsu Shinkansen , were built following this plan. Many other planned lines were delayed or scrapped entirely as JNR slid into debt throughout the late 1970s, largely because of

8010-528: Was destroyed, and both the Victory Mars and Grand Liner were rendered useless. GoGoFive used this robot with the knowledge that, although they had supposedly lost their father, their mother is still alive, and they used this mental energy to power up the sword which allowed them to emerge victorious over Grandiene. In the course of its short appearance the Max Victory Robo Black Version is never disassembled into component mecha, though

8100-539: Was to be released with English subtitles on DVD in North America. It was released on April 24, 2018. This is the 8th Super Sentai Series to be released on Region 1 DVD in North America. In August 2018, Shout! streamed the series on their website. Grandiene has been waiting for the moment she can manifest on Earth on the day when the planets are in the alignment of the Grand Cross , sending her children to make
