Plot[]

"One day, five children from Earth disappeared to the edge of space. And twenty years later... (ある地球ちきゅうから5人ごにん子供こども宇宙うちゅうてにさらわれた。そして、20年後にじゅうねんご Aru-hi, Chikyu ga Gonin no Kodomo ga uchū no hate ni sarawa reta. Soshite, Nijū-nen-go.)"
―Narrator[src]

In 1966, five children were kidnapped by 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, each one of the five rescued children was taken 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 which would will allow them to fight the Reconstructive Experiment Empire Mess.

When they finally returned to Earth in 1986 to combat Mess, who are now trying to invade, they use the opportunity to search for their birth parents. It is later that they learn they can only stay on Earth for one year before the now-alien atmosphere of their true planet will physically harm them (the Anti-Flash Phenomenon).

Notes[]

  • This is the first Sentai series to have a second robo, Great Titan.
  • This is the first Sentai series in which a Ranger's last name is not revealed (in this case, all members except Sara Tokimura/Yellow Flash). The first instance where none of the core team members have known surnames would come in the next season, Maskman.
    • It is also the first Sentai series where all the Rangers have their names be in katakana format.
  • This is the first Sentai to have an opening narration before yelling the show title.
  • This is the final Sentai season to not have "Sentai" in the team's official name.
