According to scientists, it is believed that 65 million years ago, a meteorite collision on Earth led to the extinction of dinosaurs. However, an alternate theory suggests that the impact actually caused Earth to split into two parallel universes: Dino Earth, where dinosaurs continued to thrive as the dominant species, and Another Earth, as named by the inhabitants of Dino Earth. Over time, the Dino People and Burstosaur races emerged on Dino Earth and engaged in conflict with the Evoliens, creatures that originated from the meteorite. The two universes remained separate until Asuka, a Dragonoid from Dino Earth, crossed over to Another Earth through a transdimensional portal. This event triggered the arrival of the Evoliens aboard their Anamolicarus spaceship, along with the three Burstosaurs under their command. When the Burstosaurs Tyrannosaurus, Pteranodon, and Triceratops launched an attack on Tokyo, three individuals possessing Dino Guts were summoned to tame the beasts and join forces as Abarangers to defend their dimension against the Evoliens.
