Season Summary:
Flashman is the tenth installment in the Super Sentai Franchise. Head Writer Hirohisa Soda said the inspiration of the Flashman came from at the time there were reports of Japanese children being taken from their homes and later found in Chinese slave camps so he wanted to write a story about five warriors who were taken from their homes as children and long to find their parents. Flashman is the first second to introduce a second robo and the first Sentai to feature Yutaka Hirose, a fan favorite actor and the go-to guy to play villains in Sentai, in the cast. Flashman also features the return of Sayoko Hagiwara, Rei/ Dyna Pink from Dynaman, as the villainess Ley Nefel. Flashman was a hit in Brazil, that to this day Brazilian fans still debate with each other which series was better: it or it's predecessor Changeman.

In 1966, five children were kidnapped by the an alien group known as the Alien Hunters, for the sake of the Reconstructive Experiment Empire Mess - who wanted samples of humans from Earth to experiment on. They were rescued by the Flash alien race, which took each one to a different planet of the Flash solar system for training. Each of them was trained separately from the others in a range of superpower abilities that will allow them to fight Mess. When they finally return to Earth in 1986 to combat Mess, who is now trying to invade it, they use the opportunity to search for their birth parents. They later learn that their time on earth will be cut short. Their birth planet's atmosphere has become deadly to them and after a year, they will die from what is known as the Anti-Flash Phenomenon.

Feel free to share your favorite episodes and moments, as well as your personal critiques about the seasons.

We ask that the monthly, seasonal discussions stay on topic.

The main suit is fine, but the helmets are too similar to each other (a problem Megaranger also has).

I like the suits! Yes, they're clunky by modern standards but for me that is part of the show's charm

Not a fan of the opening & Ending theme. Flashking is cool. The mecha are ok.

The opening theme song isn't bad. Remember, the series came out in '86, and everyone knows anything made in the '80's is subject to be pretty campy and cheesy (Nothing wrong with cheese! Melt it on a pile of tortilla chips is tasty :3) but the theme does what it needs to be. It's catchy, and kind of fun.

The outfits, I can't say I liked them. The white overall was generally overpowering to the color. The helmets looked kinda cool, but seem too bulky for their own good.

What do you think about the idea of the five rangers/senshi being kidnapped?

Mr. CD

I liked it, helped make the whole "Protecting the Earth" mantra so much personal.

Hi all. Choushinsei Flashman is one of few supersentais I can remember while I was a kid. Must be 20 years already. Glad that it is told until today.

The mecha design and the music is what still left in my memory. I love Flash Titan!
