''Battle Fever J'' was the third ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' show, lasting from 1979 to 1980. Following up on the success of their [[Series/SpiderManJapan tokusatsu adaptation]] of Franchise/SpiderMan (which most of the early Sentai crew worked on after the end of ''Series/JAKQDengekitai''), ''Battle Fever J'' was originally intended to be a localization of the Creator/MarvelComics superhero ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, which would have starred a Japanese counterpart named "Captain Japan". However, this idea was revised after Toei decided to resurrect the Sentai series (without Shotaro Ishinomori's involvement) following a two-year hiatus by adding a giant robot to the formula, putting the "Super" in Super Sentai (in fact ''Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger'' and ''JAKQ'' were not part of the ''Super Sentai'' franchise until [[Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger years later]]).

In 2020, the show was being made available on Youtube via the Toei Tokusatsu World Channel.[[note]]Do note that depending on where you watching it (outside Japan), it may or may not be available for viewing in your country/territory.[[/note]]

* HumongousMecha: Introduced this trope to Super Sentai with Battle Fever Robo. The addition of mecha is what made Sentai "super", thus prompting the franchise name change.

** The Battle Fever-style design would only be used again for [=X1 Mask=], a OneShotCharacter from ''Series/HikariSentaiMaskman'' whose helmet was based on a rejected design for the Maskman uniform.

* OddlyNamedSequel: The only Sentai season without a single Japanese word in its title and the second one not to have the word "Sentai."

* Kensaku Shiraishi / '''[[orange:Battle Cossack I]]''': TheSmartGuy, BigGuy and wielder of [[SaiGuy twin sai]]. The original second-in-command until KilledOffForReal. The only Sentai warrior (aside from his replacement) to wear orange until [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger ToQ 6gou]].
* Makoto Jin / '''[[orange:Battle Cossack II]]''': ColdSniper and TheQuietOne. A cowboy.

* Masao Den / '''Battle Japan''': TheLeader; wields [[BladeOnAStick a spear]]. Wears red and white, the colors of the Japanese flag.
* Kensaku Shiraishi / '''Battle Cossack I''': TheSmartGuy, BigGuy and wielder of [[SaiGuy twin sai]]. The original second-in-command until KilledOffForReal. The only Sentai warrior (aside from his replacement) to wear orange until [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger ToQ 6gou]].
* Makoto Jin / '''Battle Cossack II''': ColdSniper and TheQuietOne. A cowboy.
* Kyōsuke Shida / '''Battle France''': TheLancer, [[TheDandy a beautician and womanizer]], not as much dedicated to his duty as Masao. A [[CoolSword fencer]] and the new second-in-command after Kensaku's death. Wears dark blue and white (light blue in early episodes).

* Diane Martin / '''Miss America I''': TheChick and FauxActionGirl who wields [[KnifeNut throwing knives]]. She got [[PutOnABus wounded by a monster]]. Wears pink and has a wig on her helmet.
* Maria Nagisa / '''Miss America II''': ActionGirl. An FBI agent.

** Kensaku does state he was born in Central Asia, making him his stated nationality (Soviet). The same cannot be said for his successor, however.

* ButNotTooForeign: Everyone was born in Japan and only ''trained'' overseas, save the (Japanese-American, 100% Asian-looking) Miss Americas. MultinationalTeam does not work that way!

* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Averted; most of the monsters from Episode 5 and onward are assisted by a [[IronicNickname "little brother"]][[note]]giant robot duplicates called "Akuma (Devil) Robots"[[/note]] who would fight the Battle Fever Robo. The only one who actually grew was Satan Egos himself for the final battle; [[Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman the next series]] would introduce this trope as a regular feature.

** The appearance of the giant monsters (see MakeMyMonsterGrow) is also distinct. Though most Sentai viewers would expect them to emerge only after the MonsterOfTheWeek is destroyed, they are infact frequently introduced by their 'older brother' counterparts before the Battle Fever finish their battle on the ground.

* FiveManBand
** TheLeader: Masao
** [[TheBigGuy The Big]] [[TheSmartGuy Smart Guy]]: Kensaku (#1-33) and Makoto (#33-52).
** TheLancer: Kyōsuke
** KidAppealCharacter: Shirō
** TheChick: Diane (#1-24) and Maria (#24-52).

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Instead of the masked visors with the see-through holes used in ''[[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger Goranger]]'' and ''[[Series/JAKQDengekitai J.A.K.Q.]]'' or the shade-styles goggles used from ''[[Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman Denziman]]'' and onward, the Battle Fever warriors each wore a face-like mask with two eye-shaped visors and sculpted noses and mouths meant to invoke an American superhero style (particularly ComicBook/CaptainAmerica). This is also why Miss America wears a wig on her helmet, something no other Sentai heroine has ever wore on her suit.

* AbsenteeActor : Yukio Itoh, who plays Kensaku, does not appear in episodes #9-10.

* DanceBattler: All of the Battle Fever J memebers incorporate dance moves from their home country into their fighting.
** Though the "home country" part of this context doesn't seem to extend to Japan (whose kung fu moves are very much Chinese) and France (whose flamenco dance isn't as French as much as it is Spanish).

* Kensaku Shiraishi / '''Battle Cossack I''': TheSmartGuy, BigGuy and wielder of [[SaiGuy twin sai]]. The original second-in-command until KilledOffForReal. The only Sentai warrior (aside from his replacement) to wear orange until [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger ToQger #6]].
