Thirty years has passed since the appearance of the Burnish, a race of flame-wielding mutant beings who destroyed half of the world with fire. When a new group of aggressive mutants calling themselves Mad Burnish appears, the epic battle between Galo Thymos, a new member of the anti-Burnish rescue team Burning Rescue, and Lio Fotia, the leader of Mad Burnish, begins. PROMARE`s all-star English dub voice cast includes Billy Kametz (NEON GENESIS EVANGELION Series), Johnny Yong Bosch (BLEACH, AKIRA, MIGHTY MORPHIN` POWER RANGERS), Crispin Freeman (MIRAI), and Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld (POKEMON, YU-GI-OH!).
