Introductory sequence

Unlike its previous installment, Crush Gear Nitro has its own introductory sequence before the beginning of an episode. Most of the episodes have a narration in the introductory sequence, while some of them lacks of it (see “Episode exceptions” below).

Overview

Throughout the course of the series, the narrations are told with the corresponding Japanese text shown on-screen for some narrations. Usually a narration eventually changes to the next after a few episodes (although not in a consecutive order). The contents of the narrations are either poetic-like impressions of Gear Fighting or related to the events surrounding a plot arc in the series.

All of the narrations are voiced by Shinpachi Tsuji, who also provides the voice of Ginjirou Fujiwara.

The footage during the introductory sequence are usually taken from the scenes from previous episodes. Some episodes, such as episodes 6 and 7, share a similar introductory footage.
