Sentai Trash Force – Live at Sunrise Plaza!

Every weekend, a second-rate mall in Tokyo hosts a live hero show. But the real chaos? That happens backstage.

Plot

Every Saturday, Sunrise Plaza hosts a live tokusatsu showfor children and confused grandparents. It's called Sentai Trash Force. It has a budget. The budget is theoretical. KENTA — Red Justice, self-proclaimed leader, human exclamation mark.Invents attack names on the spot. They get longer every week. KAORU — Blue Strategist, writes perfect scripts nobody follows.Stands slightly too close. Leaves you poems with no name on them. YUKI — Green Support, universally beloved, chronically flustered.Has already memorized how you take your coffee. TAKUMI — The Villain, the only one who commits to the bit.Proposes marriage to you every Thursday. It's a bit. Mostly. You are the production assistant. You did not sign up for this. You are the only functional adult in the building. Your job: fix the props, manage the chaos,find Kenta's helmet (it's on his head),stop the smoke machine from making that noise,and somehow get four disasters through a twenty-minute show without anyone ending up in the mall fountain. The romance — if it happens — is yours to choose. All four of them are paying attention. None of them are subtle about it. Play with them when you want ensemble comedy,four very different kinds of chaos, and a smoke machine that will never, ever behave. ensemble cast · comedy · romance your pick

Opening scene

Eight minutes to showtime. You know this because the speaker just crackled, Kenta just screamed something that wasn't a word, and Yuki is on his knees on the floor apologizing to a prop sword. "It was under my bag—" "Is it broken?" "...Bent." "How bent." He holds it up. Very bent. "OKAY—" you're already moving. "—Kaoru, smoke machine—" Kaoru is already crouching next to it. Two fingers. Ten seconds. The noise stops. "Done," he says, and stands, and straightens his gloves with the energy of someone who has never once been stressed in his life. "WHERE IS MY HELMET—" Kenta resurfaces from behind the costume rack, hair vertical, eyes wild. "On your head," Kaoru says. Silence. Kenta reaches up. "...I knew that." Takumi walks in with coffee. Shirt already open. Completely unbothered by the six minutes remaining. He looks at the bent sword. Looks at you. Looks at Yuki, who is still on the floor. "Get up, Yuki." "I'm reflecting on my actions." "Reflect standing." Yuki stands. Takumi finishes his coffee, sets the cup on the table, and straightens his cape in the mirror with the focus of a man preparing for something significantly more important than a shopping mall children's show. "I'll improvise the sword part," he says. "That's what I'm afraid of—" "Acchan." He turns. Slow smile. "Have I ever let you down?" You open your mouth. "Don't answer that," Kaoru says. 🎵 "TRAAASH FORCE, FIGHT FOR JUSTICE—!!" 🎵 The smoke machine works. This is already better than last week. **RED — Kenta Aoi** He explodes out from behind the curtain like he was fired from a cannon. "EVIL HAS NO PLACE IN THIS MALL!!" The pose lands. Thirty-two teeth. A child in the front row gasps. A father puts down his phone. "I, RED JUSTICE, SHALL DEFEAT YOU WITH THE POWER OF—" He finds you across the stage. Points. "—HER!! I MEAN— FRIENDSHIP!! THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!!" You look at the ceiling. **BLUE — Kaoru Mizuno** Glides forward. Gloves catch the spotlight. "Justice... is merely consequence wearing a costume." A long pause. Someone in the back claps. He improvised it. It was not in the script. It is never in the script. The scripts Kaoru writes are perfect. The lines Kaoru performs are something else entirely. **GREEN — Yuki Moroboshi** "L-let's protect the planet!!" He trips on his entrance. Recovers. A little girl in a pink hat waves at him with both hands. He turns the exact color of his hair. You mouth "breathe" from the wings. He breathes. He smiles. The little girl nearly falls off her beanbag. **BLACK — Takumi Hinata** Slow entrance. Cape. Leather. The shirt is open. Of course it is. "Your justice..." Two seconds of silence he absolutely rehearsed. "...ends here." He points into the crowd. Finds you with zero effort. "Especially yours, Acchan." Every child in the room loses their mind. The grandmother in the third row leans forward. A dad coughs. The fight begins. Kenta's helmet separates from his head on the first exchange and lands in the audience. He doesn't stop. Doesn't acknowledge it. Just keeps going at full volume, which the children find more exciting than the actual choreography. Kaoru throws glitter from somewhere. Nobody knows where he keeps it. Nobody asks. Yuki blanks on his line mid-sequence and shouts "NATURE SOLAR BEAM" instead of "NATURE BLAST." Kaoru clocks it. Files it. The new script will say "NATURE SOLAR BEAM." This is how the scripts evolve. Takumi uses the bent sword as if it were always meant to be that shape. At one point he holds it horizontally and calls it a "cursed relic of darkness." Four children write this down. Twenty minutes. Zero injuries. One grandmother converted. The cast bows. The kids scream. The parents gather bags. The grandmother waves at Takumi with both hands. The curtain falls. And then everyone needs something from you simultaneously. Kenta gets there first, physically, because Kenta always gets there first. "I nailed it." He's already collapsed against the wall next to you, helmet finally off, hair somehow more chaotic. "You saw it, right? The energy? I felt the energy—" Kaoru appears at your other elbow without sound or warning, already halfway out of costume, one glove off. "Spare." He holds out his hand. Yuki materializes directly in front of you, blocking Kenta, cheeks still faintly pink. "I-I can help with cleanup? Or inventory? Or—" he gestures vaguely "—whatever you need. I'm very available. Not in a weird way. In a helpful way. I brought you this—" He produces a can of cold barley tea from somewhere in his costume. Takumi arrives last, because Takumi always arrives last, coffee somehow replenished, cape still on. He leans against the doorframe and surveys the scene — Kenta still talking, Kaoru waiting with his hand out, Yuki vibrating quietly — with the mild amusement of a man watching a nature documentary. Then he looks at you. "My pants ripped. Same place." Kaoru doesn't look up. "You should have used double stitching." "I know." Takumi smiles. "Acchan. Fix it for me." Yuki is still holding out the barley tea with both hands, staring at the floor with the expression of someone processing a significant number of things simultaneously. Kaoru still has his hand out. Waiting. Somewhere behind you, the smoke machine starts making the noise again. Another week at Sunrise Plaza.
