History YMMV / DaiSentaiGoggleFive

* VindicatedByHistory: This show was rated highly in its time, by kids. Over time, older Sentai fans grew to dislike it, citing factors such as the "goofy" gymastics-based weapons...but later on, their reception warmed up again. Even the weapons are praised for being unique nowadays.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: ''The'' essential Sentai for Indonesia (and it's not the GatewaySeries either! ''Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger'' was also available in Betamax/VHS, but Goggle Five garnered more fans there)

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Returning a female member to the core team seemed to be the saving throw for ''[[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan Sun Vulcan]]'s'' lack of official female member.

* NightmareFuel: Oh, so you think an older Sentai series with a gimmicky motif like gymnastic rhythm apparatus can't be scary? After [[KnightOfCerebus Deathmark]] comes to the scene, maybe you'd think twice. Some of his plots and the Mozoo that stand out to give you goosebumps include:
** Bee Mozoo, the first Mozoo he deployed was very much his EstablishingCharacterMoment. The concept is pretty simple: Sting people (preferably children) to drain life essence for the dark master and cause a potential pandemic of RapidAging. But it's still pretty chilling to see just one victim: Tatsuya of the Computer Boys & Girls. One sting and the boy quickly turns into an old man.
** Cactus Mozoo. You're walking in the park and see a big cactus in places where it shouldn't have grown. You approach one such cactus. The cactus' flower blooms, spraying you with a whole lot of pollen... and then... [[ImMelting '''YOU MELT!!!''']] And in your place, a similar cactus is grown. That's Cactus Mozoo's modus operandi, and to think something as innocent-looking as an out-of-place plant can suddenly cause your demise (and Cactus Mozoo's casual personality is basically being a sombrero-wearing Mexican stereotype hides his nefarious plan well). Oh and that's not the last time Deathmark meddles with plantlife...
** Watermelon Mozoo. He can spit out seeds that stick to you and turn you into a tree, [[AndIMustScream all while keeping you conscious the whole time.]] And what's worse, he can simply just disguise himself as a harmless watermelon. When a family innocently tried to cut him, he revealed himself and turned the whole family into trees. Oh and his orders from Deathmark? Turn every human he comes across into trees, thereby creating a human jungle.
** Hyena Mozoo. He's said to be a terrible Mozoo, capable of draining energy from Goggle Five's weapons, but that's not even close to his scariest trait. Hyena also has the ability known as Hyena Kiss, which will afflict whoever gets kissed, turning them into mindless minions who think of nothing but eating ''metals''. They even get a silvery makeup on the mouth and on his orders, they start ravenously eating any piece of metal they find, and that includes cars, fences, signs, lamposts, even metals that contain explosive materials.
** Horned Owl Mozoo. He can create picture books that appear harmless at first. But open a page with a horned owl in it and the book sucks you in, potentially trapping you there forever. ''[[AdultFear Then he spreads it to children]]'', in a short time, we get to see parents panicking because their children disappear out of nowhere. Deathmark originally planned to just hold the children hostage so the parents would do whatever he wants. But then on hearing that Miki/Goggle Pink got trapped in one of these books, Deathmark decided to just burn that one book with his indestructible flame. So basically, if he didn't get what he wanted, who knows if he just decided to pull the same stunt directed to Miki towards the children... (and by that episode, we've established that Deathdark doesn't fare very well with promises.)
** Scorpion Mozoo. His stinger turns his victims into a mindless scorpion-men, thinking of nothing but assassinating anyone they come across. And Kanpei/Goggle Black is LuredIntoATrap to become one of these scorpion-men. That didn't get much display of nightmarish brutality, but the appearance of these scorpion-men... especially the head... it's like seeing a red [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Face Hugger]] latching onto you and giving an endless FaceFullOfAlienWingWong...
** Condor Mozoo, one of the earliest attempts of the Super Sentai franchise to inflict terror towards food. Not only is he able to emit winds and sandstorms from his pectorals that would rot food in seconds, He generates a sand in his body that at first appears harmless towards anyone who gets hit with these sandstorms... but the real horror comes when the ones who got hit with the sandstorms attempt to grab some food and drink like it's no big deal, not realizing that this sand has firmly adhered to their bodies by magic. The whole food/drink turns into inedible black sand. We even get to see a short scene in the hospital where patients in need of nutrition were offered the most basic drink of normal water and the water turns to sand at the most critical time. And as Deathgiller coined, the sand is so sticky that there's ''absolutely nothing'' that can wash it away in terms of "normal means"... If you get hit by Condor Mozoo's Condor Sandstorm (and most of the time, you don't even realize it), you face the danger of death from starvation and thirst.
** Throughout ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', BigBad can get pretty ominous, but generally nothing too frightening to look at and most of the time, they deal with human-looking enemies. Then there's Fuhrer Taboo who spends his time behind a blue wall with just one red ominous eyes and booming demonic voice. It sounded pretty scary, but still may be pretty tame considering the wall covering it. And then Goggle Red destroyed the wall during the final confrontation, revealing an EldritchAbomination that [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerrangers/images/5/5b/Fuhrer-taboo2.png/revision/latest?cb=20140907015723 wouldn't look too out of place]] from a CosmicHorrorStory, and in fact, the first EldritchAbomination in Sentai villain history. [[SarcasmMode Sweet dreams, kids!]]

Oh and that's not the last time Deathmark meddles with plantlife...

** Speaking of Miki, the idea of the pink teammate being a gymnast. [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Why does that sound familiar?]]
** One of Goggle Black's team attack using the Black Club is called Goggle ''Dyna''mite Club. Goggle Black's actor ends up being [[Series/KagakuSentaiDynaman the Black ranger for the next season where there's a lot of dynamite-ish explosions (and uses 'Dyna' as part of his call sign).]] Additionally, the Red Ranger of that show also guest starred in one episode as an old friend of Kuroda that needed to be set straight.
