The Brave Police J-Decker (勇者警察ジェイデッカー, Yūsha Keisatsu Jeidekkā) is the fifth series of the anime television meta Brave series (Yūsha) created by Takara and Sunrise. It aired in Japan from February 5, 1994 to January 28, 1995. Brave Police J-Decker returns the series to a subtly lighter tone, focusing more on the concept of "robot as human-built AI construct" emphasized by the previous season's series, The Brave Express Might Gaine. The series takes place in the fictional city of Nanamagari City.

He is the main character of the story and is the first robot created with Super A.I. From him, every Super A.I is originated as all Braves robots' A.I is copied from Deckerd. He acts as the leader of the team and he is usually a peace-maker when conflict arises among Brave Team. He is the only one from the team that refers Yuta as "Yuta" rather than "Boss." He forms the head of J-Decker. After being killed by the Chieftain's, Deckerd was temporary taken control of by Gaizonite, and turned into J-Decker Knight. The other's were able to get him back and put his Super A.I. into a new body, but he lost all of his memories. He was, however, able to get them back.

        • Duke (デューク, Dyūku) (Voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa): A sentient robot that transforms into an ambulance based on Toyota Previa (XR10). Created by Regina, he was instructed to have perfect AI, not swayed by emotions and evil thoughts. However, as he spends more time with other members, he realizes that traits once Regina called evil, such as anger, hatred, are not always necessarily evil. He wanted to be Regina's “perfect” policeman just to see her smile again. As one of the most serious robots of the Brave team, he does not talk much, speaks only if necessary. He always calls Regina as "Lady" rather than her real name. Only time he ever called Regina by her first name was when Regina was about to be attacked by J-Decker Knight (under the control of Gaizonite) as he managed to get all strength to unite to save Regina from the attack. He forms the arms of Duke Fire. When J-Decker, and subsequently Deckard, were taken control of by, Gaizonite, Duke temporally became the new leader of the Brave Police.

He often uses English when he talks, and is one of the most care-free character of the story. Time to time, he refers Yuta as "kid" and he has a special relationship with Todo, the development chief of the Brave team.

    • Build Tiger (ビルドタイガー, Birudo Taigā) (Voiced by Ryōtarō Okiayu): The combined forms of the Build Team without Drillboy. Build Tiger is a super robot. The Build team originally did not start with Super A.I. as there was still a debate among the police force, as the police force did not buy the idea of Super A.I.

He can also transform into the Brave Cannon (ブレイブキャノン, Bureibu Kyanon), a massive gun that is supported by J-Decker, Duke Fire, Gun-Max Armor, and Super Build Tiger in a team attack. Shadow-Maru is a remolded and recolored version of Sixshot from the Transformers. Unlike other members, he is equipped with many difference sensors, he is able to detect things that other members cannot. He usually does all the research and detective work as he is an expert in that area. He is the only member of the team that does not unify with other members. He is the brother of Kagero and has personal history with Kagero. He was forced to kill Kagero in tears after Kagero became mindless killing machine as his A.I. was already taken by Shinjo, a villain of the series. He wished to die with Kagero after he revenged Kagero, but with the wish of Kagero, he became official member of the Brave team.

He is a large ninja robot of appearance similar to Shadow Maru, and transforms into a car mode and a Rodan-like draconic mode.

So, he fights against the Brave Police, who are assigned with the task of capturing him, and later killed by the hands of his brother Shadow-Maru. He is caught by Shinjo and his AI taken to be installed in a submarine, which sinks. His AI is later used by Excellent Inc., a company that main antagonist Nueva runs, to build enemy robots with Super AI Victim and his Chieftain series use the AI that was stolen from Kagero.
  • English Brave Police (英国の勇者警察, Igirisu no Yuusha Keisatsu): Unveiled in Episode 41 by Regina, the British Brave Police are 4 transforming robots with Super A.I. units installed. They were physically re-deco's of the Divers from the previous Brave series; Might Gaine. Although not mentioned on the show; each robot was supposed to have one of the first names of the four members of the 1960s British rock group The Beatles; John (ジョン Jon), Paul (ポール Pōru), George (ジョージ Jōji) and Ringo (リンゴ Ringo). It was likely that Takara did plan to release these characters as toys, but changed their plans and the toys were never produced and the British Brave Police only appeared in the series in their robot modes as a result. They would later re-appear briefly in episode 46, where Duke revealed at least two of their names to be Rook (ルーク Rūku) and Bishop (ビショップ Bishoppu) (Their names likely inspired by chess pieces) before the four of them get destroyed by being under the control of the Hamlen waves.

Video games

J-Decker was adapted in the Brave Saga games like all other Braves entries. It was also adapted into Super Robot Wars 30 for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC, featuring almost every member of the Brave Police as playable characters although Decker, Duke, the Build Team and Gunmax only appear in cutscenes. Kagero and Victim are also secrets.
