YMMV / Tomica Hero Rescue Fire

• Awesome Music: Courtesy of JAM Project, this soundtrack is full of amazing songs, starting with its opening themes "Rescue Fire" and "Bakuchin Kanryou! Rescue Fire".
• Moment of Awesome: Gaia Leon's debut. A strong argument can be made that it was the most awesome toku debut of 2009.
  • The first Monster of the Week is a giant sentient motorcycle with a tail. That is on fire.
• Nightmare Fuel: The brutal destruction of Rescue Striker in Episode 9 will not sit well with those who watched Rescue Force.
• Special Effects Failure: The costumes for the Mooks are laughably poor, and like it's predecessor, Rescue Fire uses the standard CGI quality of the time period it was made in; any instance of CGI usage is incredibly obvious to the viewers.
• Spiritual Successor:
  • Both Madan Senki Ryukendo and Tomica Hero Rescue Fire's transformation sequences involve dragons made of energy flying into them from above, making this show a sort of wonderful odd conglomeration of the crew's past two works. The Blue Dragons resemble the Madan Weapons soul ... dragon ... thingies.
  • Also to Kyūkyū Sentai GoGoV and Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, depicting rescue workers battling supernatural beings.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: Despite the above-mentioned obvious CGI, Rescue Fire uses the ABSOLUTE SPECTACLE strategy as it's contemporaries. It also uses the same basic principles Rescue Force made using this strategy (utterly audacious battle scenes, titanic machinery, and well-crafted presentation) and adds two more factors; every vehicle and combination original to Rescue Fire has an animal motif, and while Rescue Force mainly uses the car-launching gimmick as a means to deploy said vehicles, Rescue Fire takes the concept and outright weaponizes it, as regularly the Rescue Dashes are shot like fireballs to destroy the enemy.
