What happens

VS Knight Ramune & 40 Fire (VS騎士ラムネ&40炎, Bāsasu Naito Ramune to Fōtī Faia) is a Japanese manga, and anime television series and is the sequel to NG Knight Ramune & 40. The character designer for the series was Tsukasa Kotobuki, noted for Saber Marionette. The show lasted for 26 episodes, and its story follows the adventures of Baba Lamunade, the son of Baba Ramune (the protagonist of NG Knight Ramune & 40). A sequel OVA was created called VS Knight Ramune & 40 FRESH (VS騎士ラムネ&40FRESH, Bāsasu Naito Ramune ando Fōtī Furesshu) which follows the adventures of Cacao and Parfait, holy virgins, in their search and rescue mission of the 4th Warrior Ramunes, given to them by the apparent head of their religious order, Master Follower. The anime was licensed in North America by Discotek Media on December 2, 2019, and can be watched on Crunchyroll. A five volume manga by Mine Yoshizaki based on the series was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Shonen Ace magazine from June 1996 to July 1998. After VS Knight Ramune & 40 Fire ended, Martian Successor Nadesico would go on to replace it in its time slot a week later. The main mecha of the series, Kaiser Fire, was featured in the 2011 video game Another Century's Episode Portable notable for being the only true super robot in the otherwise real robot cast. Kaiser Fire was also featured in the 2015 mobile game Super Robot Wars X-Ω as part of a limited time event. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
