Trivia / Kagaku Sentai Dynaman

• B-Team Sequel: This was the first Super Sentai series not to feature Chumei Watanabe's music. Instead, the series was composed by Kensuke Kyo.
• Recycled Script: Episode 24 has a Monster of the Week with the ability to shapeshift into any person taking on the form of one of the rangers, causing confusion among his teammates. Didn't they use that plot in Episode 45 of Dai Sentai Goggle Five? This is not helped by the fact that the Black Rangers in both series are played by the same guy.
• What Could Have Been: Early production material indicates that this was supposed to have been a baseball-themed Sentai. There are still some remnants of this — note the baseball-uniform-esque designs of the suits (including Black's Battle Tector armor, which was basically catcher guards), the sound of the crack of a bat in the theme song, and the use of "Grand Slam" as the Invocation for the Combining Mecha.
  • Still makes a bit of sense, considering the main cast are supposed to be intellectuals.
  • An unknown production photo of Megumi Oogawa (Goggle Pink) in Chimera's outfit suggests she was originally going to be cast as the part, carrying over directly into the next show like Junichi Haruta (both Goggle Black and Dyna Black) did. Which might explain why Dyna Black was so often written to be opposing Chimera, as they would have originally been former cast mates. 2 years later however they'd pull this off in a sense with Dynaman's own heroine actress Sayoko Hagiwara being cast as Flashman's primary female villain.
