History YMMV / ChikyuuSentaiFiveman

* VindicatedByHistory: It was nearly a FranchiseKiller thanks to ExecutiveMeddling and some unnecessary additions. But as time passed, this series has been looked upon much more favorably, since it has quite a few memorable episodes and a pretty good cast of characters.

* SeasonalRot: [[http://valsagfantasy.blogspot.com/2010/08/super-sentais-almost-cancellation-and.html Apparently was one, and, along with Jetman's extreme popularity, started a middling period for Sentai]].

* HilariousInHindsight: A team called Gingaman shows up in episode 9 (turns out they're really villains), 8 seasons before [[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman Gingaman]] was a name of a real team of Super Sentai.

* MoralEventHorizon: One episode has Doldora using her MonsterOfTheWeek to create an illusion of the Fivemen's mother in order to set a trap. Seeing the way Remi holds onto the hope that her mother might be real is enough to send Doldora over.

* ShockingMoments: Things really hit the fan by the end of the series: [[spoiler:Vulgyre is a LivingShip ''and'' TheManBehindTheMan! The Fivemen's parents are alive and trying to contact them! Chevalier fights [=FiveRed=] in a climactic duel-to-the-death! And the world is on the cusp of being destroyed by a BotanicalAbomination [[AGodAmI 5seeking godhood]]!]]

* SpecialEffectsFailure: During the final battle against [[spoiler:Vulgyre]], the fact that they're using the toy versions of Max Magma and Super Five Robo is ''really'' obvious. The shot where SFR turns around in midair and plunges into [[spoiler:Vulgyre]]'s gullet is especially shoddy looking. There are MANY shots during the final episode where the wires holding up the toy robots are perfectly visible - not a FreezeFrameBonus or barely noticeable nitpick, but front and center and not hidden in any way.

* AssPull: When Fiveman's fighting a new combined monster even Super Five Robo can't beat, it just turns out their mecha can combine with their base into an ultimate mecha, out of nowhere. Not helping this feeling is the only other time they use the ultimate gattai is when the BigBad has gone all OneWingedAngel. And then [[TheWorfBarrage it doesn't work]].

* EarWorm: One thing that can be said about the theme song is it's extremely catchy. "[[GratuitousEnglish One! Two! Three! Four! Five! FIIIIIIIVEMAAAAAAN!]]

* CompleteMonster: [[ItsAllAboutMe Vulgyre]] once [[StalkerWithACrush desired a woman named Meadow to be his queen]] and, when she rejected him, chased her until she fell of a cliff, keeping her soul captive within him. Assuming her likeness, Vulgyre [[BigBad takes command]] of the Galactic Imperial Army Zone as part of his plan to destroy 1,000 inhabited planets--with Earth being the thousandth--as part of a ritual to obtain eternal life so he could become God of the Milky Way. When his true identity is outed to his subordinates, [[BadBoss Vulgyre]] fuses two into a mindless monster to force them to continue serving under him. Corrupting Chevalier's soul using the blood of his victims, Vulgyre absorbs the energy of his death to take on his destructive "[[OneWingedAngel Galactic Super Beast]]" form.

* JerkassWoobie: [[spoiler: Doldora, of all people. When the truth about Vulgyre is revealed, she has a complete VillainousBreakdown, realizing she basically had nothing to live for now. And then Vulgyre turned her into a monster, along with Zaza when the latter tried to unsnare her. Yikes.]]

* CompleteMonster: [[ItsAllAboutMe Galactic]] [[ManipulativeBastard Super]] [[EldritchAbomination Beast]] [[LivingShip Vulgyre]] once [[StalkerWithACrush desired a woman named Meadow to be his queen]]. When she rejected him, he chased after her until she accidentally fell of a cliff, desperate to get away from the giant ship relentlessly pursuing her. Though dismayed at her death in the moment, he was ultimately not above keeping her soul captive within him. Assuming her likeness and taking on the false identity of a "Galactic Empress", Vulgyre [[BigBad took command]] of the Galactic Imperial Army Zone as part of a heinous plan to destroy 1,000 inhabited planets--with Earth being the thousandth--[[GodhoodSeeker as part of a ritual to obtain eternal life so he could become God of the Milky Way]]. When his true identity is outed to his subordinates, [[BadBoss Vulgyre]] fuses the horrified, mentally broken Doldora with Zaza, her loyal colleague, into a mindless monster, forcing them to continue serving under him. Corrupting Chevalier's soul by using the blood of his victims, Vulgyre absorbs the energy of his death to take on his destructive "[[OneWingedAngel Galactic Super Beast]]" form, [[OmnicidalManiac looking to destroy everything]] [[WouldHurtAChild and anything]] in his way to ascend to twisted godhood. The perfect embodiment of selfish evil, he is truly a [[MeaningfulName vulgar]] and repulsive being who cares for nothing and no one but himself and his own pleasure.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Vulgyre]] killed Princess Meadow for [[StalkerWithACrush rejecting his attempts to covet her]]. Impersonating her, Vulgyre created the Galactic Imperial Army Zone, planning to use it to destroy 1,000 inhabited planets in a bid to become the immortal God of the Milky Way. Coming to Earth after destroying the other 999 planets, Vulgyre [[BadBoss forcefully transformed his own General Doldora]] and her subordinate into a mindless monster after they refuse to continue to serve him after discovering his true nefarious plan. Corrupting Chevalier's soul by charging him with the blood of his victims, Vulgyre intends to have Chevalier killed as a power-up for himself. Becoming [[OneWingedAngel Galactic Super Beast Vulgyre]], he unleashes his final assault on the city. It is also revealed that Vulgyre has kept Meadow's soul captive for his own [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] needs.

In the past, Vulgyre desired a woman named Meadow to be his queen and drove her to suicide when she rejected his attempts to covet her, keeping her soul captive within him. Assuming Meadow's likeness to lead the Zone while he disguised himself as Zone's flagship, Vulgyre intended to use the Zone as pawns to destroy 1,000 inhabited planets-—with Earth being the thousandth—-as part of a ritual to obtain [[ImmortalityImmorality eternal life]] so he could [[AGodAmI become God of the Milky Way]].

He forcefully transformed his general Doldora and her subordinate into a mindless monster after they discovered the truth about him and refused to continue working for him.
