History Trivia / BattleFeverJ

** The original plan was for ''Battle Fever J'' to be broadcast on TV Tokyo as a follow-up to ''Spider-Man'', rather than ''Goranger'' and ''J.A.K.Q.'s'' home on TV Asahi (formerly NET) which ''Super Sentai'' holds to this day. Sticking to TV Asahi allowed ''Battle Fever'' to premiere over a month before ''Spider-Man'' itself concluded, whilst its place as follow-up to the latter was taken by the anime series ''Anime/MiraiRoboDaltanious''.

** Produced just after the [[Series/SpiderManJapan Japanese version]] of ''Franchise/SpiderMan'', this series expected to be a Japanese take on ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. And then it became a Sentai.

** The girl playing Yuki had previously played another role in episode 13, and the woman playing the human form of the very first monster returns in the last episode as [[spoiler:Salome in disguise]].

* NamesTheSame: DC and Marvel Comics each have a Miss America. Considering it was part of Toei's partnership with Marvel and the fact that it was supposed to be a series based on Captain America, it's very likely intentional (the original Miss America was a Golden Age contemporary of Cap).
