I love the intro of the four bad guys at the end of episode 1. But something about Grey's intro where he comes in walking sideways (to be fair Maria walks in upside down) then lands properly is very 'sup bitches?'
Thanks for the moment of silence. We are losing so many of these actors who were in their prime in the 70s and 80s. Not just live action actors but anime character voices, music composers, theme singers and more. Time is the enemy we all fight. But it always wins.
Great! But you just forgot one of the most memorable scenes of all times: when Ryu and Guy trade drinks in a bar (Guy asks for milk and Ryu whisky, then they trade it). Awesome!!!
Jetman is definetly one of the darkest entries in the sentai series, but arguably one of my favourites. I really like the designs of the costume and mecha. The love story between ryu and rei ended very tragicly (wasn't really too fond of ryu and gai's love triangle with kaori), the villians i thought were pretty great, the main team was pretty likeable, with black condor being my favourite and yellow owl my least. This series also had arguably some of the weirdest and most brutally graphic scenes I've also seen in sentai so far...
Yeah I didn't really like the love triangle either. Two of them had major boundary issues imo and the other one apart from the epilogue didn't really want anything to do with the love triangle anyway.
This is the last Sentai request I've received from Patreon/ Superchats, so we won't be covering anymore for a very long time (I do have something Sentai related next, though).
Fun Fact Did you know that the singer of Jetman op theme Hironobu Kageyama also sang the official opening theme for Changeman Maskman Transformers the headmasters and of course CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA and WE GOTTA POWER the official Japanese theme for Dragon Ball Z
Added fact to both Kageyama and Jetman. The Theme ending song, Heart is an egg is also sung by him. Basically, as the name states its a song about how a heart is like an egg, fragile and easy to break. However, it is a symbol of life, when nurtured and loved. Sometimes it breaks and cracks, but it can bring new life and love. If you are wondering about what it means. I had the honor of watching Jetman when I was in my pre teens. And it was a great story.
I like how previous Sentai actors appears in later series. Blue Zyuranger's two companions are played in other sentai series too. The girl was Pink Maskman and leader of the group was Blue Flashman. Leader of the Neo-Jetman group is Red Zyuranger and lastly Commander later played Kiba Ranger's mother in Dairanger.
Listening to Jetman's theme and it's stuck for the day? How about a lifetime? In 2017 I was humming the theme while going through airplanes on vacation to and from Sweden. It's that catchy of an earworm. "The Jetman suits are weird as looking like they wear diapers like Super-man" Dude, have you SEEN Changeman? BRA (Battle Ready Armor) motif much? And also, most of the cockpit was reused and redressed for Zyuranger.
Watched Jetman when I was a kid. Truly brings back good memories! Jetman should have their own remake or a movie or something. Their storyline were impressive!
Jetman is not the darkest Sentai but I would consider it one of the more dramatic ones. It's more character centric Sentai out there with it's love triangles and character interactions. While it still cheezy due to being an older Sentai it still has something for everyone.
This is one of the few youtube channels I come back to daily to watch videos from. Even after rewatching the "History of" Series from you multiple times. I sat down and watched the Garo Kamen Rider Faiz, Blade and Ryuki along with Both History of Jetman and Dairanger. I love the amount of work you put into these videos and your effort you put in giving good opinions on these videos. Thank you Marcosatsu for your excellent content and fun videos.
Well, Jetman ain't the darkest...I mean Liveman's pretty dark compared to Jetman (and I'm speaking as a guy whose first exposure to Sentai is Jetman) and Dairanger's pretty damn dark too (considering that the distant finale showing that the war against the Gouram ain't over....even after Daijinryu had forced both sides to stop fighting under the threat of...well, the world getting nuked by an angry dragon god.)
In the Philippines, this sentai series called Jetman is also as popular as other sentai like Bioman, Fiveman, Maskman, etc. It was Aired in Philippines in 1990’s together with other similar sentai but there is some version of sentai being release in earlier decades like Bioman. Sentai like Jetman really brings back so much memories as I watched it as a child and on elementary school... I remember going home in rush from playing outside just to watched it. Anyway I still remember the ending especially the moment I saw Gai being stab and told my self: “ yeah I remember that ending “..... probably one of the saddest ending in sentai universe..
I stumbled across this video because the Jetman music popped into my head randomly and I started searching stuff about them on youtube. Fun fact: I haven't seen Jetman for more than 20 years. I only saw it as a child but I loved it. :D I'm glad I came here. Nice video!
Kelly Johana well Kaori was rather disrespectful toward Ryu's 5 Stages of Acceptance re: Rei even if Ryu and Odagiri are never bother to explain that particular topic
I think Raita's character is good, he has several childhood struggles and insecurities the he kept during growing with finally overcoming it in his character episodes. His crush for Kaori seems like of a short term infatuation outlet because of his frustration of him and his childhood friend turned love being far apart Ako's sub plot of dreaming to be a japanese Idol, I really liked if they delve more into her resolve and not just tacked it in at the final episode
i remember accidentally stumbling upon this series when i was surfing asian channels when i was a kid. i was at the episode where the rangers were being hunted down and turned into stone. i watched for a bit then changed channels since i didnt understand what they were talking about. up until this day i kept thinking about that episode and luckily i found this
Definitely one of my favorites. I just noticed it now that the actress of one of the Garuda Squad was actually Pink Mask from Maskman. Yeah I might be wrong but they really look alike.
14:48- if anything, Grey was bit of a forerunner for In Space's handling of Ecliptor in a way. Both wanted to take out their respective oppositions but had a soft spot for the one person part of their cause; one was in love with a Red's missing fiance while the other loved a Red's abducted/brainwashed sister like she was his own child.
I’ve been watching Jetman recently and I’ve got to episode 39 and been loving it. I found out about the theme about a few years prior and am sadly just now getting around to watching it-but I’m glad I did.
after watching some jetman i can see where the character archs for mmpw came from. I can see a little bit of jason, trini, billy, kimberly, and zack in these 5.
I've not watched any Sentai, but this has always been pretty high on my list of series to check out, so I'm sure I'll get to it. I just wish they'd do some R4 Sentai DVD releases so I had any easy way of watching it.
3:24 now that you have said it the changer melody actually sounded like the sound some kind of bird would make. Whatever that species of bird is it's in line with the birdy theme of the series i guess
Mike It Happen loved bioman,jetman,fiveman,gorenger,zyuranger,great ranger,hidden ranger,ohranger,carranger,megaranger,gingaman,gogofive,timeranger,hurricanger and dekarAnger 🍿
(points laser blaster at Marcos) you saying something about my Kiva? Actually to be fair, the love triangle in Kiva was pretty crappy so I'll give you this one.
the idea of having 2 generations in the same show was a huge mistake, idk if someone agrees with me but if only the otoya side of the story was more like a movie or a V-cinema it could make the idea of "a careless but with good heart person became the lord of evil and curse the initial fate of his son, so his son must brake the chain of destiny and surpass his father" a more grounded and organized one
I remember when red and pink had starting a love interest while black is also in love with pink. Also the last episode when black condor got stabbed by a thief
I would have liked some discussion on the mechs. I really like their design and I’ve seen some awesome scenes from their battles. The video didn’t even mention the apparent second mech the team gets.
One of the *only* Sentai I could get into, I loved the characters, the story, and a ton of the episodes were really fun. Inoue sure knows how to make you feel sad watching guys in suits huh
Thanks for the review. Yeah only other series that gets pretty dark in tone is go busters to me. Its often overlooked bu the fact that they were born to fight after their parents were sent into hyperspace then years later discover they cant save them is very dark. they had to choose to destroy messiah and not save them
I just finished binge watching Jetman, so here’s my thoughts on it. I don’t really consider it a love triangle because technically, Ryuu was NOT in love with Kaori, Kaori was NOT in love with Gai. Gai only pursued Kaori because she was probably the first woman to reject him, which I don’t think he’s used to. Yes, I know, Ryu and Kaori got married at the end but still I don’t consider this a love triangle. to be honest, I was excited when Ryu and Rie were introduced because I thought it was cool that there was going a couple straight away but nope….I was hoping when they were reunited she would be brought back to the base. Yet again, nope. I think Ryu and Rie actually had more chemistry than Ryu and Kaori. If anything, I would say that Gray, Ryu and Maria/ Rie was more of love triangle because they were both in love with the same woman. Speaking of Kaori, I think you or someone else pointed it out. Which annoys me about the Sentai girls, especially the one from the older generation, since I noticed with Mei, and I started to notice this with Lin and now, Kaori. When it comes to fighting, I prefer the PR girls, because they can hold their own. It annoys me that Sentai girls always seem to have to rely on the guys, like they’re damsel in distress, even though, they’re fighting. Guys have muscular strength, yes. Girls lack in the department but they make for it in grace, agility and nimbleness. I wish they would portray that in the fighting scenes.
Neat retrospective you made here. I enjoyed Jetman overall too. I kinda felt the same on your thoughts on people saying Jetman is considered the darkest seasons by fans. I expected almost every episode to get serious from hearing that, only for there to be episodes centered around a cup noodle monster, a vending machine monster, a fear mongering creature that takes form of a tomato monster and hair dryer monster that gets redeemed. They weren’t all bad, but I just weirdly didn’t expect episodes like those. I guess episodes like those can still be a thing even in the darkest of shows. Kinda like there being serious episodes in the goofiest types of shows. And I’m kinda weirdly torn on what happened to Gai at the end. A part of me is going “aww, he just wants his friends to be happy”, while another part of me is going “well that’s kinda a dumb way to die”. Is that just me?
All Sentai series are dark, no doubt about it. But Jetman got so many storylines and character development that we really couldn't find in some previous Sentai series that we watched as kids. As such, we were craving for more and really excited to see the next episode. The love triangles therein was far more interesting than that in X-Men between Cyclops-Jean Grey-Wolverine and Jean Grey-Cyclops-Emma Frost,
A robot that smokes, drinks and tries to kill humans, Gray was Bender before there was a Bender.
Taranchula plus given his nobility, he more or less inspired Ecliptor's personality to a minor degree
kory stephens 🍿
I love the intro of the four bad guys at the end of episode 1. But something about Grey's intro where he comes in walking sideways (to be fair Maria walks in upside down) then lands properly is very 'sup bitches?'
Must Bender’s father or great grandad .
What the song in the intro?
Thanks for the moment of silence. We are losing so many of these actors who were in their prime in the 70s and 80s. Not just live action actors but anime character voices, music composers, theme singers and more. Time is the enemy we all fight. But it always wins.
And Gai gave Jetman's power to Gokaiger, since he doesn't want Gokaiger to bother his team mates
Omg!! I didn't make that connexion until you wrote it!!
Mario Junior
Connection
@Javelin Melody The 35th super sentai, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. They are pirates from space. You should watch. It's really good.
@Javelin Melody a New season from 2011
What the song in the intro?
Great! But you just forgot one of the most memorable scenes of all times: when Ryu and Guy trade drinks in a bar (Guy asks for milk and Ryu whisky, then they trade it). Awesome!!!
OMG such a iconic scene
Aye. A good sign of how much their relationship had changed.
Jetman is definetly one of the darkest entries in the sentai series, but arguably one of my favourites. I really like the designs of the costume and mecha.
The love story between ryu and rei ended very tragicly (wasn't really too fond of ryu and gai's love triangle with kaori), the villians i thought were pretty great, the main team was pretty likeable, with black condor being my favourite and yellow owl my least.
This series also had arguably some of the weirdest and most brutally graphic scenes I've also seen in sentai so far...
Jetman pay homage to gatchaman my fav superhero anime of all time.
@@christopherwashington2417 it definetly is one of the best
Yeah I didn't really like the love triangle either. Two of them had major boundary issues imo and the other one apart from the epilogue didn't really want anything to do with the love triangle anyway.
Everyone loves Black Condor, but I don't. I found it so hard to like him when he acted like a completly obssessed jerk.
Agreed. Among all, Jetman remains as one of the darkest series of all Sentai. Plus the plots are pretty much too heavy for kids at times as well
Jetman has one of the most badass villains: Grey
What about Bio Hunter Silva from Bioman?
Part of why I love this season is because it's one big tribute to SCIENCE NINJA TEAM GATCHAMAN!
Definetly, gatchaman is really good
This is the last Sentai request I've received from Patreon/ Superchats, so we won't be covering anymore for a very long time (I do have something Sentai related next, though).

Fun Fact Did you know that the singer of Jetman op theme Hironobu Kageyama also sang the official opening theme for Changeman Maskman Transformers the headmasters and of course CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA and WE GOTTA POWER the official Japanese theme for Dragon Ball Z
And I think was also the voice of the Gashats
One of my favourite members of JAM Project, a music group he's in, singing alot of themes for super robot shows and srw games
Added fact to both Kageyama and Jetman. The Theme ending song, Heart is an egg is also sung by him. Basically, as the name states its a song about how a heart is like an egg, fragile and easy to break. However, it is a symbol of life, when nurtured and loved. Sometimes it breaks and cracks, but it can bring new life and love. If you are wondering about what it means. I had the honor of watching Jetman when I was in my pre teens. And it was a great story.
His versions of the Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and Getter Robo themes are awesome too.
@@Elyseon omae to nara kajite knight and fire wars of shin Mazinger and Heats foe Shin Getta are good
Jetman was my first sentai. I love this series.
Mine too 🌎
Likewise
Same, but not my favorite

I like how previous Sentai actors appears in later series. Blue Zyuranger's two companions are played in other sentai series too. The girl was Pink Maskman and leader of the group was Blue Flashman. Leader of the Neo-Jetman group is Red Zyuranger and lastly Commander later played Kiba Ranger's mother in Dairanger.
nemesis3587 yellow owl of jetman also was the same actor for the human form of the carrieir/tortoise zord in Dairanger
Listening to Jetman's theme and it's stuck for the day?
How about a lifetime? In 2017 I was humming the theme while going through airplanes on vacation to and from Sweden. It's that catchy of an earworm.
"The Jetman suits are weird as looking like they wear diapers like Super-man"
Dude, have you SEEN Changeman? BRA (Battle Ready Armor) motif much?
And also, most of the cockpit was reused and redressed for Zyuranger.
BRA ? Damn i missed codename knd
It's fun to hum on a slow sunday ride or when cooking
that opening been stuck on my head since my elementary school days that like a 10 or so years ago

I'd definitely watch Fishman
Same. Ten times better than another team of Dinosaurs.
@@kellyjohana516 The sixth Fishman can be gold.... because goldfish... and gold is usually the sixth ranger colour...... I'll stop lol

You just made my Friday Marcos. Thank you.
I like to mention that part of the influence for the suit design for Jetman was the anime, science ninja team Gatchaman.
call me nuts but ep 47 was one of the best sentai episode i've seen up until now
This was a really fun video!
I had a CD of the noodle episode. Used to watch it so many time. Never knew about the dark theme of the show, haha
I can’t wait for Zyuranger!
Damn! I remember watching this when I was just 8yrs. old.
I love the fact that Hinorobu Kageyama sing the opening and closing theme, Mr. Anime soundtrack
I like Jetman. Definitely woulda been cool for this to be the first MMPR season.
The message of the ending theme is that your heart is fragile like an egg or tomago
Some guy called ryu came up to me and knocked a cigarette out of my hand.
How do i respond to this act
a) Punch him
b) Punch him
or
c) Punch him
D) None Of The Above
In revenge, Ryu got the girl he liked. That was worse than a punch.
Sounds like tyrone to me
D. All of the above
Kelly Johana well Kaori was rather disrespectful toward Ryu's 5 Stages of Acceptance re: Rei even if Ryu and Odagiri are never bother to explain that particular topic
Great vid! hope you do one for every sentai (yeah i know theres a lot). Perhaps mech stuff as well? (Winspecter, Exceedraft, etc)
Jetman is my favorite Super Sentai series all time.
Bruh the commander was hella hot.
Love Jetman. It was one of the Sentais that were shown here in the Philippines in the 90s. Thank you for this.
I think Raita's character is good, he has several childhood struggles and insecurities the he kept during growing with finally overcoming it in his character episodes.

I watched this series as a kid in real time screening in the Philippines.. I must say the story is tight AF..
Same here, it was alwasy one of my favorite Sentai series being a Filipino, and they did not skip on any of the dark themes

7:55 and... Bun (Blue flash) from Flashman and Momoko (Pink mask) from Maskman.
Ur history of series is amazing
Definitely one of my favorites. I just noticed it now that the actress of one of the Garuda Squad was actually Pink Mask from Maskman. Yeah I might be wrong but they really look alike.
Its the same actress.
That's her. The same actress that plays Momoko(Pink Mask) in Maskman.
I also recognized Yuta Mochizuki from Zyuranger as one of the Neo Jetman
14:48- if anything, Grey was bit of a forerunner for In Space's handling of Ecliptor in a way.

I absolutely adore Jetman. As it turns out, turning Super Sentai into a rom-com was a stroke of genius.
after watching some jetman i can see where the character archs for mmpw came from. I can see a little bit of jason, trini, billy, kimberly, and zack in these 5.

I always wondered about the connection between Jetman and Gatchaman. Since yknow both are teams with bird motifs and similar uniforms and all.
One of the *only* Sentai I could get into, I loved the characters, the story, and a ton of the episodes were really fun. Inoue sure knows how to make you feel sad watching guys in suits huh
Jetman is definitely one of the more darker Sentai series but it's definitely a series worth watching.
Okay,but Gai was pretty much one of the best characters in Sentai.
Most people say that. In my opinion he was a quite boring, annoying and obssessive in the beginning. Not to mention abusive.
Watch it in the early 90´s when I was 5 or 6. Never forgot it. I´m now 31.
I got chills just by watching this review.
My first sentai series
"This has nothing to do with anything, I just thought it was funny" Loved this line :D
i watched this sentai with my classmates when iwas in high school in 1994 those were the fun years
I finished Jetman back in February and yeah its a good show, it's not the darkest but it's good and the characters and the story are excellent
Jetman and fiveman is my favorite
