Template:ShowInfoChouseishin GranSazer (超星神グランセイザー, Chōseishin Guranseizā?), translated as Super Star God GranSazer, is a Japanese tokusatsu that aired from October 4, 2003 to September 25, 2004.

Plot

Some 400,000,000 years after an advanced human civilization was destroyed by an alliance of planetary conquerers known as Warp Monarch, 12 direct descendants of the civilization's warriors (called Sazers) awaken their powers and join forces with the other members of one of their ancestors' four tribes: Flame, Wind, Earth and Water. Each Sazer is based on a Zodiac sign represented in an animal totem or spirit representation. At first, they wage war on each other, but after learning the truth of their ancestry and their reason for awakening, the GranSazer tribes unite to protect Earth from the Warp Monarch from once again extinguishing all life on the planet.

In the distant past, they allied with Earth after the discovery of the Bosquito in their planet, but the war lead to the planet's destruction.

The Impactors

After Karin's death, the Impactors (インパクター , Inpakutā?) from Planet Impactor are entrusted with the mission to destroy Earth at all costs. The Impactors' culture is centered on honor and combat, using cards to switch between human form and fighting form. In the first part, Lucia and Radia were sent to use a meteor to wipe out Shinkujira Island, in order to destroy the final Chouseishin Leviathan before going after the other Chousishin. However, the meteor was hindered by Cloud Dragon and the fragments unearthed Leviathan instead. After the Water Tribe reveal themselves and awaken Levithan to kill Radia, Logia reveals himself. But after the plan with Guntras fails, the Impactors are ordered by the Warp Monarch to cease their attack on Earth.

Garbans

From planet Garba, the Garbans (ガルバ星人, Garuba Seijin?, 46-51) are the final alien menace the Gransazers battle with.
