Kagaku Sentai Dynaman (科学戦隊ダイナマン, Kagaku Sentai Dainaman), translated into English as Scientific Squadron Dynaman, is the seventh installment of the Super Sentai series. Produced by Toei Company, the series aired on TV Asahi from February 5, 1983, to January 28, 1984, with a total of 51 episodes. It had originally been intended as a baseball-themed sentai.

6 episodes were later seen on the USA Network's Night Flight and alternately, Nickelodeon's Special Delivery in 1987-88 as a dubbed parody, simply titled Dynaman. This was the first time the Super Sentai Series was ever shown in the US in dubbed form, the only other one being the dubbed Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger episode that was directly translated in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, and which had a similar but less over-the-top comedic overdub job done to it.

Veteran voice actor Toru Ohira, who narrated the Super Sentai series beginning with Himitsu Sentai Goranger, departed after this series. After narrating the Metal Hero Series from 1984 to 1989 (Except for Choujinki Metalder in 1987), he would later return to narrate Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger in 1992 and perform the voice of Emperor Bacchus-Rage in Chouriki Sentai Ohranger in 1995.

Plot

The Jashinka empire (Combination of the Japanese words for 'evil,' (Jashin) and 'evolution' (Shinka). ) rises from the depths of the Earth to conquer the world. To stop them, Doctor Yumeno assembles five inventors to his laboratory, Yumeno Invention Laboratory and gives them the power to become Dynamen. Each member has their own goal, but as the Scientific Squadron Dynaman, they are united to stop the Jashinka empire in their tracks.

Tailed-People Clan Evilution Empire

The Tailed-People Clan Jashinka Empire (有尾人一族ジャシンカ帝国, Yūbijin Ichizoku Jashinka Teikoku) are evolved from a race of a reptiles. They arrived at Earth in ancient times, the lifeforms being carried along with a meteorite, crashing into the earth, and falling deep into its core. As time went on, the lifeforms evolved, becoming the civilized Tailed-People Clan. The Tailed-People are a civilization of advanced science (higher than human's), with the rank of their civilization being determined by the number of tails. Believing Earth to be theirs, for their civilization to rise, they begin invasion. Originally planning to turn humans into their own kind, the experiment failed, and their strategy was changed to simply destroying mankind by reducing the number of human beings as the Tailed-People Clan was outnumbered. Being as the number of tails determines rank, the Emperor's dream is to obtain ten tails, who is said to provide one with eternal life and powers. Their rank and status is determined by the number of tails each member has. The more tails, the greater the status.

• Emperor Aton (帝王アトン, Teiō Aton) - The ringleader who orders the invasion and building of the Jashinka Empire above. With nine tails, he believes in the legend and dreams of obtaining the tenth tail that will provide eternal life and super powers, which he believes he will obtain once he's conquered humans. His cruelty unmatched, he originally shows protection of his son, Megiddo, until one failure too many. He is armed with ESP abilities and the Emperor Sword.
  • In the parody, Emperor Aton is known as Bernie Tanaka in the parody, a human disfigured by acid.

• General Kar (カー将軍, Kā Shōgun) - AKA "God of War." A scientist with seven tails. The second in command who developed the Evilution Beast manufacturing machine Progressor. Extremely loyal to Aton, he is later set-up by Zenobia and Dark Knight, forcing him to challenge Dynaman to a fight to prove his innocence and loyalty.
  • In the parody, General Kar is known as Mel Fujitsu, who was also disfigured by acid like Bernie.

• Prince Megiddo (メギド王子, Megido Ōji) - Aton's son. He has five tails, although one tail was cut off by Dyna Red in their first match, becoming a disgrace to his clan and developing a grudge against Red. Too wrapped up in his pride and with too violent of a temper, he continuously fails. After being prosecuted by Zenobia, his remaining tails are cut off and he was thrown into the 1000 Year Cave prison, banished by his own father. Swearing revenge, he breaks free from the prison, becoming Dark Knight (ダークナイト, Dāku Naito), wielder of the "Dance of Darkness" technique. As Dark Knight, he is not only an enemy of Dynaman, but of Jashinka, as well. Calling himself "the messenger of darkness", he first lets his presence known by stealing Aton's Emperor Sword. He shows most hatred for Zenobia and Dyna Red. He died when his ship crashed into the ground.

• • In the parody, Prince Megiddo is known as Nigel Cochran, a rock star and Dark Knight never appeared. A running gag through the series is Dyna Red frequently cuts off his tail (using footage from the first episode).

• Gira and Geel (ギーラ&ギール, Gīra to Gīru) (1-8) - The bodyguards of Megiddo. The tail soldiers is distinguished by their clothing and berets.

• Princess Chimera (王女キメラ, Ōjo Kimera) (8-50) - The witch niece of Aton, cousin of Megiddo. She has a short, round tail of four. She respects Aton and is a master in illusions and psychokinesis. She is excellent at strategies to fool humans by using disguises and charm. She is Rei / Dyna Pink's rival. As prideful as her cousin Megiddo, the two constantly bicker. She died alongside with Meggido.
  • Princess Chimera is known as Lucy in the parody, Bernie's niece.

• General Zenobia (ゼノビア, Zenobia) (37-50) - A new general with 7 tails who appears in episode 37. She destroyed the Invention Center. A combat expert with seven tails, she too holds the title of general. Also a priestess who deals in ritual. Eight years ago, she tried to assassinate Aton and take the throne for herself. While conspirators were executed, Aton chose to banish Zenobia to imprisonment in the 1000 year cave out of fear of her witchcraft knowledge. While it is supposed to be impossible to break from the 1000 Year Cave prison, Zenobia manages to do so, now swearing loyalty to Aton, now wanting to help aid in being rid of Dynaman. She is secretly ambitious, still holding a hatred for Aton with a dream to still overthrow him and develop the tenth tail. Spied on by Megiddo, she sets him up by having him banished to the 1000 Year Cave, masking it as a contempt for failure. She discovers the Retro Gene, attempting to use it in growing the tenth tail. When she does grow a tenth tail, she dies afterwards.

• Tail Soldiers (シッポ兵, Shippo Hei) - The foot soldiers of the empire. They are humanoid lizards with red eyes, green and black skin and one tail.

Super Sentai Landmarks

Dynaman has become a landmark for Toei's Sentai Series in general.

• The first sentai to wear streamlined spandex (as opposed to rubber or baggy cloth, as in its predecessors from Goranger to Goggle V), which has since become the norm with subsequent teams.
• The first sentai to not wear scarves (which an earlier tokusatsu series demonstrated to be impractical).
• The first Sentai with stylized villains, mecha and monsters, designed by veteran Yutaka Izubuchi.
• The first sentai with a strong supporting villain /anti-hero.
• The first sentai series to have popular rock (and even New Wave) music (all previous shows had 1970s-style disco).
• The first sentai to have a 20-minute running length, starting with Episode 9 (In 1997, the premiere of Denji Sentai Megaranger would return the Super Sentai Series to its original 25-minute running length).
• The first sentai to be presented in the American public (see top).
• The first sentai to regularly use colored explosions in the roll call. In general, this series had a heavy use of pyrotechnics, Hence the name: Dynaman.
