Sentai''. The series opens with the Vyram leading a rather murderous first attack on Earth, with the villainous organization's consistently shifting focus on its treacherous cast of villains leading to rather dramatic tension on both heroes and villains side besides the usual conflict. The Dimensional Beasts are quite lethal to civilians and many people are killed off in the Vyram's schemes without being brought back, and sometimes rather graphically. Similarly, in contrast to the rather whimsical happy-go-lucky dynamic of the Fivemen, the Jetman are barely capable of working as a team at first and even after Gai and Ryu's rivalry leads to some dramatic clashes and tension on the side of good. And that's without mentioning the amounts of side characters and allies that are killed off by the Vyram.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Some of the earlier episodes had the Jetmen using some odd attacks on the Grinam, including Ryu's "Wing Punch" which caused Grinam's [[YourHeadASplode heads to explode]], and Kaori using some sort of strange sheet which produced waves of pink energy.

The Jetmen are even shown helping to construct Tetra Boy when, by all logic, that should be done by contractors or other Skyforce employees, as opposed to the only five people who can fight against the Vyram.
