History YMMV / DengekiSentaiChangeman

* AntiClimaxBoss: All it takes to destroy Bazoo, once the Changemen make it down to his core, is one Super Thunderbolt from Change Robo. That's it.

* {{Narm}}: Some of the Space Beast Warriors have names such as Dokyura and then there are names such as Daryl.
* RootingForTheEmpire: It's a lot easier to root for Gozma than the heroes, given that the villains are far more complex, developed and three-dimensional than the Changemen themselves, who are flatter than a piece of paper. It helps that they were portrayed as not entirely evil.

** Holy cow, that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7MzNRs4CY theme song]] is incredibly catchy.
** Many Sentai have themes you can dance to... Changeman may be the only one that you can ''swing dance'' to.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: It was a massive hit in late 80s/early 90s Brazil, paving the way for other Franchise/SuperSentai series and, eventually, anime. It got a comic adaptation in Brazil for some good years, along with ''Juspion'', another hit in the country, eventually crossing over with the metal hero in the brazilian comics.

* HilariousInHindsight: The one with the mermaid motif being named Sayaka might make some fans laugh (or considering [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica the case]], [[HarsherInHindsight cringe]])

** The design of Adjutant Booba from this series is a possible inspiration for the design of the titular ''Film/{{Predator}}''. Sentai would return the favor [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger three]] [[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger times]] [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger later]], with Dereputa, Ferocious Knight D, and Scorpio.

* CompleteMonster: [[EldritchAbomination Star King Bazeu/Bazoo]] is the [[BigBad leader]] of Great Star League Gozma and a ruthless sociopath obsessed with gaining power. Years prior he began a campaign of [[GalacticConqueror interstellar conquest and subjugation]] by destroying a planet of [[OurAngelsAreDifferent winged people so peaceful and kind]] that merely looking upon their smiling faces and hearing their voices will make you lose all violent impulses. Many of his forces are either comprised of the champions of those worlds he'd already conquered, forcing them to fight for him lest he finish the absolute destruction of their homes. Not that he intends to ever let them go back, as his true form is the size of a planet, and he [[PlanetEater eats the planets he conquers]]. He also uses innocent beings from the worlds that he’s conquered and forces them to fight for him by forcefully mutating them into his soldiers against their will. A wicked abuser of his forces, those who fail him are punished by a beam fired from his head that causes them immense pain. Years after his debut, Bazeu stands out as one of the absolute worst villains in the franchise.

* GrowingTheBeard: Changeman represents a dramatic shift in Super Sentai towards complex plotting, fleshed-out villains, and a Darker And Edgier tone. Changeman's head writer Hirohisa Soda (who'd been head writer for the past three years before Changeman) has stated that he considers Changeman to be a Growing The Beard moment (though not in those exact words) both for the Super Sentai franchise and for his skill as a writer. The [[Series/ChoushinseiFlashman next]] [[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman three]] [[Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman seasons]] followed Changeman's example, and all four together could count as a Growing the Beard era.
