Fire Tripper English Sub & Dub

About Fire Tripper

Fire Tripper (炎トリッパー) blends adventure, romance and sci-fi by Studio Pierrot (1985). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: It was just another everyday afternoon for our heroine Suzuko when she without warning got caught in a giant gas explosion. Instead of getting killed, Suzuko wakes up some 500 years in the past during the Civil War era of Japan.

From there, after being saved from a fate worse than death by a handsome, somewhat overbearing young man, Suzuko learns to adapt to the odd realm where she now resides. Along the way, Suzuko stumbles on out more about her unexplained and spotty past. As clues begin to click into place, though, the village is attacked, and Suzuko finds herself travelling through time AGAIN, this time to the present.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Sumi Shimamoto as Suzuko and Yuu Mizushima as Shukumaru. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
