Denshi Sentai Denziman (Electronic Squadron Denziman) was the fourth Super Sentai series, lasting from 1980-1981. It was the first Sentai series where the heroes wore the trademark visors.
The evil Vader Clan, led by Queen Hedrian, decides to refit Earth to suit their ideals of beauty. And for Vader, that involves sending their minions to pollute the world. They had previously laid waste to another planet, Denzi Star 3,000 years ago. Now, IC the Denzidog, a survivor of Denzi Star, awakens to recruit five young people to gain the powers of the only force that can fight Vader: the Denzimen!
The Denziman are:
.
Ippei Akaki / Denzi Red: The Hero of Denziman, a Pacifist who teaches Karate to the kids at the athletic club.
.
DaigorÅ Oume / Denzi Blue: The tagalong Kid. A laid-back acrobat with an addiction to anpan buns; as DenziBlue, he knows how to apply his speed against the foe.
.
Jun Kiyama / Denzi Yellow: The Smart Guy/Big Guy. A researcher and inventor who fights with great strength as DenziYellow.
.
Tatsuya Midorikawa / Denzi Green: The Number 2. A private eye whose father was destroyed at the hands of Vader. The "cool guy" on the team.
.
Akira Momoi / Denzi Pink: The Load. The one girl on the Denziman team. She had a Retirement at the end of episode one, but rejoined an episode later. Teaches swimming to kids.
The Main Villians are the Vader Clan (Not to be confused with Darth Vader) are invaders from another dimension with warped (to us) concepts of outer beauty. They intend to pollute and corrupt the Earth and its inhabitants to fit its unusual aesthetic.
The Members are:
.Queen Hedrian: the Big Bad and Dimensional Queen of the Vader Clan, She hates inner beauty and wants to pollute the world. She finds happiness in human suffering. Cares deeply about her subjects. She vanished and sealed herself away in the North Pole, only to be found by Black Magma and revived as a cyborg under their control.
.General Hedrer: The Commander, Field commander. He had a personal rivalry with Banriki Demon King. He was destroyed in battle when he interrupted the battle between the Denzimen and Banriki Demon King . He grew giant and fought against the DaiDenJin but fell to the DenjiSword after the Denziman used the DenziBall. He was saluted by the Denzimen after being defeated.
.Demon King Banriki: the Treacherous Subordinate, unlike many treacherous subordinates who came after him he succedes in his plans. He had a personal rivalry with General Hedrer. He attacked all the Denziman until there was DenziRed, not injured in Episode 37 (DenziYellow blinded in one eye, DenziGreen injured by the wind, DenziBlue injured by hand in the water, and DenziPink being injured by things blowing up around her and getting hit by a van). The others fought through their fight against him. In Episode 37, he grew after fighting Denziman and was wounded after Denziman used DenziStick Boomerang. Denziman tried to give him the final blow with the Electronic Full Moon Cut in Episode 37. In Episode 48, he had Sakkalar to help him take over Vader Clan. He was turned into a human candle. With the help of the Omnipotent Monse, he turned into a human and took back the Vader Clan. He was finally destroyed by the Denzi Boomerang.
. Keller and Mirror: Female spies in silver and gold respectively. Keller can change into a shield, and Mirror a vanity mirror. Though Keller only turned into a shield once and that was to defend Queen Hedrian from an attack by Banriki Demon King. Sadly, it cost Keller her life, just as Mirror lost her life defending her Queen by blinding the Omnipotent Demon King.
