Plot
editKen Taiga is a milquetoast 12 year old 6th grader living in Hokkaido, Japan which is in 199X A.D. who has a knack on flipping females' skirts and touching their breasts because he can be quite such a pervert. In Kushiro, Hokkaido, the Drago Knights of the Dragon Empire attack. Possessing overwhelming destructive force, they attack the city to awaken their master, the devil god Jashin Drago from the Rock of Sealing he was trapped in. Two hundred years ago, Drago was trapped in the seal by a holy warrior with the tattooed mark of the Liger. Assuming that the warrior is dead, Drago and Empress Zara are free to conquer the Earth using their army of giant biomechanical beasts. Even the Japan Self-Defense Forces are no match for the Drago Knights' awesome power. One of the people fleeing is Ken Taiga himself. Unbeknownst to the Dragonites, Ken realizes that he is the descendant of the Lion Clan that once summoned Liger. In a burst of anger, Ken's Liger birthmark appears, and he rises his palm into the air, shouting the henshin (transforming) command, "LIGER!" which then covers him in demonic, long-haired biomechanical armor. Ken transforms into Jushin Liger to fight the evil forces of the Dragon Empire and its true purposes. With the forces of Goro Dan, his classmate, alongside Yui Kamishiro and Mai Kamishiro, the 12 year old twin sisters who possess special powers and have the ability to summon Begaruda, and alongside the 22 year old newscaster Saeko Yagami, his adventures with them boost up with the battles against the Dragon Empire. And with the power of Thunder Phoenix, Liger will soon become Thunder Liger. Soon afterwards, it's later revealed that Ryu Dolk, who happened to be Ken's arch rival from the Dragon Empire was the Kamishiro twins' brother, and later helped Jushin Liger's new ultimate form as Agama eradicate the Dragon Empire and the boss once and for all.

This was one of the first anime television series to feature two opening and two ending themes, a tendency that has been followed since then by several anime television series. The Ikari no Jushin, besides being still by Japanese wrestler Jushin Liger, has been used by the Hanshin Tigers as the climbing theme of pitcher Hirotaka Egusa. It's one of the anime themes that has been in constant use even after the TV show ended.
