==Story==
The story of ''BIMA Satria Garuda'' begins in the ''Dunia Paralel'' ("Parallel World"), a world that is ruled by the VUDO Empire and is on the verge of collapse. The Parallel World lives in perpetual darkness and Rasputin, the evil and cruel lord of VUDO wants to find another world, seize its natural resources to revive the Parallel World, and expand VUDO's powers. This new world is discovered when two scientists on Earth manage to create a portal that connects the [[Earth]] to other galaxies.<ref name="rcti1"/>

A mysterious young man name Mikhail gives Ray Bramasakti the Power Stone ''Merah'' ("Red") to stop Rasputin and VUDO's evil attempts to take over Earth. By possessing the Power Stone ''Merah'', Ray has the power to transform into BIMA, the [[Garuda]] Knight. Ray's foster family, Randy Iskandar and his sister Rena, also become involved in Ray's fight against the malicious activities of Rasputin and VUDO.<ref name="rcti1"/>

==Characters==

===Main characters===
*Ray Bramasakti/[[Bhima|BIMA]], the "''Satria Garuda''" ("Garuda Knight"), protagonist and super hero. Kind, quiet, and humble, Ray is an orphan who lived with his foster family, Randy and Rena. Ray works in the Satria Motors [[auto shop]]. He possesses the Power Stone ''Merah'' ("Red") and uses it to protect [[Earth]] from VUDO's attacks. The Power Stone ''Merah'' can transform him into BIMA, the Garuda Knight which has the agility, focus, and strength of the [[Garuda]] and allows him to wield the red-blue garuda [[saber]] ''Helios'' (Sun) (which in turn can transform into ''Helios Blaster'' [[bow and arrow|bow]]). Ray does not wish to endanger his foster family, which causes him to struggle with his power and responsibility as BIMA. Ray is portrayed by [[Christian Loho]].
*Randy Iskandar, Rena's brother, Ray's foster brother, and the owner of the Satria Motors autoshop. Randy acts as a friend and an unlikely father figure for Rena and Ray.

He inherited considerable wealth from his parents, who disappeared in his childhood. Randy is portrayed by [[Rayhan Febrian]].
*Rena Iskandar, the younger sister of Randy and Ray's foster sister. Rena behaves naïve and innocent and tends to be careless and unlucky. She wants to help Ray but often gets into trouble with VUDO.

*Mikhail, is a mysterious young man from Parallel World. Mikhail fled a VUDO warship carrying the Power Stone ''Merah''. He does not communicate much with humans and only communicates with Ray [[telepathy|telepathically]]. Mikhail is then revealed to be Reza Bramasakti, Ray's long-lost brother who is thought to have died 21 years before the start of the saga. Mikhail is transformed into Azazel, VUDO Empire's Champion ''Ksatria Kegelapan'' ("Dark Knight") by Rasputin's Power Stone ''Hitam'' ("Black"), which strips away his humanity and forces him to serve VUDO and invade Earth until BIMA manages to bring him back to his senses. He later joins Ray's struggle against Rasputin. Azazel wields the dark garuda [[saber]] ''Taranis'' (Thunder), which is similar to BIMA's ''Helios'' saber and can transform into the ''Taranis Blaster'' [[bow and arrow|bow]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.duniaku.net/2013/05/07/cast-dari-bima-satria-garuda/#sthash.ICImt9sT.dpuf |title=Cast Dari Bima Satria Garuda! |publisher=Duniaku.net |date= |accessdate=2013-08-06}}</ref> Mikhail is portrayed by [[Adhitya Alkatiri]].
