Premise
[edit]In 2000, it has been discovered that dinosaurs have survived past their supposed extinction and reside in a vast underground environment where they have gained an intelligence on par with that of the human race.
They are led by a hyper-intelligent tyrannosaurus named Ururu (known as Emperor Tyrannus in the English dub) who plans to eradicate humanity and reinstate dinosaurs as the dominant life-forms on Earth by using his powers to brainwash his subjects into destructive monsters that obey his every command, sending them out on to the surface world to wreak havoc on human civilization. The special OPs unit D-Force is founded to combat the monstrous dinosaurs with specialized combat vehicles and cybernetic implants given to its members.
The Return of Izenborg
[edit]The Return of Izenborg (帰ってきたアイゼンボーグ, Kaettekita Aizenbōgu) is a Japanese-Arabic documentary produced as a collaboration between the Japanese company Tsuburaya Productions, Mr. Jarrah Alfurih from Saudi Arabia and Cultures Factory (an NLC company). It is the first Arabic-Japanese production in the art of Japanese tokusatsu, which is a special live action effects category. This documentary was filmed in 2016 and aired on Friday 15 December 2017 on the Arabic channel Space Power at 8:30p.m. local Saudi time.[1] The documentary was translated back to Japanese by Tsubaraya and officially streamed on YouTube on 29 December 2017.[2]
