In the remake Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040, Sylia mentions that there were two Knight Sabers that preceded the current four member team. Their main activity is fighting out-of-control Boomers, half biological/half-mechanical robots built by Genom. In the near future, Tokyo was left flattened as a result from a great earthquake. Today, Bubblegum Crisis is one of those \'classic\' titles that anime fans need to know about, a Terminator or Star Wars of the anime canon. Calling themselves The Knight Sabers, they were the only ones with enough firepower and resourcefullness to defend the fledgling MegaTokyo from Genom and its berserk Boomers. In order to finance their activities, the Knight Sabers also accept paying jobs as bodyguards or mercenaries. Bubblegum Crisis was the leading edge of that cyberpunk anime, taking the elements that worked for the rest and expertly marrying it with many of the elements that make anime unique. They were recruited by Sylia Stingray to battle the corrupt Genom corporation that dominates their home city of Mega Tokyo and which was responsible for her father's death. To enhance their natural abilities, they each wear a Hard Suit - each of them specialized in its equipment and performance according to the respective wearer's field combat role. The Knight Sabers is a mercenary team of young women.
