Plot
In 1970, Doctor Hoshikawa was researching how to transform the planet Sedon into a green, lush world, and tested his research by attempting to grow flowers. On the day the first flower bloomed, the Zone Empire launched an assault on the planet, he and his wife were separated from their five children. Arthur G6 took the five children back to Earth and raised them. 20 years later, the five are now teachers in the same school. The Zone empire now prepares to invade Earth as its thousandth target and as they begin the attack, three vehicles appear and counter the offensive. Five warriors descend from the vehicles and confront Zone. The Hoshikawa siblings have been developing the Fiveman technology and training hard in case Zone attempts to invade Earth. Now, the five siblings are ready to battle with the familiar foes as Fiveman. After defeating the Zone Empire, the Fivemen departed Earth to recover their stranded parents.

Notes
- This is the first Sentai series to have Powered Protector Armor, Five Tector.
- This is the first all-sibling team, followed by the GoGoFive and Magiranger.
- It is also the only all-sibling team to not be adapted into the Power Rangers TV series, instead appearing only in the Boom! Studios comics (minus Gia Moran becoming Supersonic Yellow in Super Megaforce).
- Unlike Lightspeed Rescue, Mystic Force, and Ninja Steel, where at least one of the rangers was related to someone else (Usually the mentor and/or sibling), their counterparts don't have this distinction, and one became a traitor.
- It is also the only all-sibling team to not be adapted into the Power Rangers TV series, instead appearing only in the Boom! Studios comics (minus Gia Moran becoming Supersonic Yellow in Super Megaforce).
- This is the only series after Flashman to not to feature a mecha for each individual member.
- This is the final season where the transformation call is the Sentai heroes's respective designations or the team name.
- Although three later seasons would use the full name of the team in their transformation call, it would be alongside another word, i.e. Install, Megaranger!, Emergency, Dekaranger!, and Boukenger, Start Up!
- Nine Power Ranger teams would also use their team names as part of their morphing calls. A tenth team, Lightspeed Rescue, simply used the team name as the entire morphing call, just like Fiveman.
- Although three later seasons would use the full name of the team in their transformation call, it would be alongside another word, i.e. Install, Megaranger!, Emergency, Dekaranger!, and Boukenger, Start Up!
- Despite lacking a Power Rangers counterpart, their suits still appear in Super Megaforce. They are given the name "Supersonic."
- Originally, the show was to be called "Brotherman" or "Vectorman" (Super FiveRobo's Combination command and Finisher names, Brother Joint and Super Vector Punch, were remnants of these).[2]
- This is the third (after Maskman and Liveman) and final season where the name of the eponymous Sentai is shown written in English before showing the title card in the opening.
- This is the first Sentai season since Goggle V to have a Blue Ranger serve as the team's second-in-command.
- Although the toy sales for this series (and the 13 series prior) are unknown, it can be assumed that they are some of the weakest in the franchise due to the fact that Toei originally intended for the next series to be the last Sentai series made - a decision they reversed after said series ended up being rather successful, similar to the Power Rangers's decision to initally make in Space the last season after a weak showing from Turbo .
- Because J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai (the current shortest official season) was not counted at the time, Fiveman was originally regarded as the shortest season of Super Sentai, at only 48 episodes.
