Choujin Sentai Jetman (鳥人戦隊ジェットマン Chōjin Sentai Jettoman?), translated into English as Birdman Squadron Jetman, was the fifteenth entry of the Super Sentai television series. Produced by Toei Company and Bandai, the series aired on TV Asahi on February 15, 1991 to February 14, 1992, with a total of 51 episodes. With its well-developed storylines and character development, it is regarded by many fans to be the best series of the Super Sentai genre, and by some to be the pinnacle of the Tokusatsu genre. This sentai is a homage to Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. Unlike the previous series, Jetman has a darker and more serious story. It also has a tragic ending despite the fact that the heroes win the final battle.

[edit] Plot
This series takes place sometime during the 1990s (only addressed as "199X" ) on the Earth Ship, the command center of an international defence agency called Sky Force. It is the guardian of peace on Earth. In the ship, scientists have developed "Birdonic Waves", a newly developed technology which gives the subject superhuman abilities. Experiments (called "J-Project") were successful. Aya Odagiri, the director of the project, chose five elite Sky Force officials from Earth to use this technology. Ryuu Tendou, one of the Sky Force officers, was successfully exposed to the Birdonic waves, making him Jetman Number 1, the Red Hawk.
However, the Earth Ship is suddenly attacked by Vyram, an evil space organization. They successfully destroy the ship, and the remaining Birdonic waves (for the four other officials) become scattered on Earth. Four civilians pick them up. Odagiri and Tendou successfully escape the ship and begin searching on earth for the four remaining Jetman waves in order to stop Vyram's plans of conquering our dimension.
[edit] Jetmen
- Ryuu Tendou (天堂 竜 Tendō Ryū?)/Red Hawk (レッドホーク Reddo Hōku?)
He is originally a Sky Forcer codenamed "W6" and leader of the Jetman. Being the only official to become a Jetman, his policy is to be always professional and never let feelings affect himself in battle, which is the primary reason of why he and Gai fought in many episodes like Ken and Joe in Gatchaman. This comes to a conflict when he discovers that his beloved Rie had become the Vyram officer Maria, which later caused Gai's inner sense of justice to awaken during the time he fantasized he was still with Rie. He does not drink alcohol but loves hot milk without sugar, but ironically drank with his former rival turned best friend Gai in one episode. He married his fellow Jetman and support in difficult times Kaori in the series finale. He is often wearing Red Gold's Gym gloves.- Age: 26 years old
- Ryuu is known as Réno in France
- Attacks: Wing Punch (ウイングパンチ Uingu Panchi?)
- Gai Yuuki (結城 凱 Yūki Gai?)/Black Condor (ブラックコンドル Burakku Kondoru?)
A loner who hates being ordered around. He loves fighting but is really a nice guy. Initially clashed with Ryuu but eventually became friends. His interests include motorcycle, saxophone, gambling and womanizing. He loves Kaori, and often tries to flirt with her, without results, which ends up on him suffering from the frustration of his unanswered feelings. When she finally accepts him, they have frequent problems on their relationship as both are too different. In a completely random act of violence, he is stabbed to death by a thug three years after the fall of Vyram on his way to Ryuu and Kaori's wedding while trying to recover a woman's purse, but managed to keep the others from knowing and found time to smoke a bit of cigarette before dying. He loves the Macallan, Scotch whisky. He hates men and natto. Gai's fighting style is a street fighting and martial arts mix: his combat skills match Ryuu's, though he is the dirty type, as sometimes grabs his foe in the crotch to perform an overhead lift and toss. His character appears to be largely based on Gatchaman's Joe Asakura, although Gai's death seems senseless and random in comparison to Joe having fallen honorably in battle.- Age: 25 years old
- Gai is known as Galt in France
- Attacks: Condor Finish (コンドルフィニッシュ Kondoru Finisshu?), Flying Kick, Condor/Owl Towering Attack
- Raita Ooishi (大石 雷太 Ōishi Raita?)/Yellow Owl (イエローオウル Ierō Ōru?)

Three years after Vyram is defeated, runs a farm with his childhood friend, Satsuki. He was raised by his grandmother, Kiyo Ooishi, because Raita's parents were busy. As Yellow Owl, specializes in raw strength techniques like head-butts, body blows, throwing techniques, and sumo-based attacks. He is also able to hurl boulders.

She joined the Jetman to escape the boredom of her heiress life. She is good at Kendo and best shot in Jetman, Kaori learned in battle and in the middle of a love triangle with Ryuu and Gai what a spoiled rich girl she was and what the really important things were. Raita also had feelings for her. She does sometimes use her wealth to help the team like when she used a lot of diamonds to try and snap Ako from the curse of the monster Red Diamond. At the end of the series she marries Ryuu with whom she overcame difficult times.
- Ako Hayasaka (早坂 アコ Hayasaka Ako?)/Blue Swallow (ブルースワロー Burū Suwarō?)

She first thought of Jetman as a part time job paying ¥1500 (roughly $12.89) an hour, but her first battle awakened her sense of justice and made her realize that she must fight as a warrior (for free, no questions asked).

In the sequel manga they are shown repowered and in charge of protecting Japan after the original Jetman's powers have faded over time. Ultimately they make way for the true Jetman once again.
[edit] Dimensional War Party Vyram
The Dimensional War Party Vyram (次元戦団バイラム Jigen Sendan Bairamu?) conquered many worlds in the Back Dimension, now moving on to Front Dimension, ours. They despise humans and see them as stupid and worthless. Their base of operations was the Vylock (バイロック Bairokku?), a brain-shaped castle capable of traversing dimensions. After their leader got lost in the Back Dimension, its four leading members compete to defeat Jetmen with the prize being full-leadership.
- Back Dimensional Count Radiguet (裏次元伯爵ラディゲ Urajigen Hakushaku Radige?): A cold-hearted officer who is the nearest presence to a leader of Vyram and will do anything to accomplish his goals, even help Jetman themselves. His age would be about 26 years if human. The concealed half of his face is ancient while the other is youthful. He would not acknowledge anyone who stands above him so had a terrible grudge against Tranza who overpowered him. Radiguet wields the Demon Sword Bloody Gate (魔剣ブラディゲート Maken Buradi Gēto?) and can transform into the monster Radigan (ラディガン Radigan?) when enraged. He absorbed Robot Veronica's energy to power himself up so he could defeat Tranza to become Vyram's leader. Ultimately, he fuses with Vyrock to become the giant monster Raguem (ラゲム Ragemu?) whose armor could not be penetrated by any weapon. Near the finale, Rye, having been released from Radiguet's control, stabbed him on the back, at which point Radiguet knew that he lost her forever, and preferred to kill her instead of "...give you to Red Hawk". The stab on Radiguet's back was the only weak spot in Raguem's armor, so the Jet Ícaros attacked there with the Birdonic Saber, and fatally wounded Radiguet who, cursing the Jetman and swearing revenge, was defeated. Though his body had disappeared, Radiguet's soul endured and possessed Tranza's body years later in the manga. He used Ryuu and Kaori's daughter to fight for him until he was defeated by Gai's replacement, Green Eagle. Radiguet was going to use Jeff as his new body, but Tranza held Radiguet at bay as the two died in an explosion. Some fans believe that the thug that stabbed Gai was actually Radiguet in human form without his powers.
- Tran (トラン Toran?, 1-36)/Emperor Tranza (帝王トランザ Teiō Toranza?, 36-47, epilogue)| A psycho kinetic child who specialized into creating toy-ish monsters to satisfy his fun desires, and thought both enemy or ally fatalities as "just part of the fun". Being the youngest of the Vyram was a big complex to him until one day the constant anger became unbearable, making Tran undergo a super-rapid growth, becoming Emperor Tranza and seized leadership of Vyram. In addition to his psychokinetic powers, and newfound arrogant nature, he wields the Boltranza (ボルトランザ Borutoranza?) longsword. But after being defeated by the Jetman in final combat as a result of Radiguet's trickery, he ended up becoming a vegetable in a mental institution and what becomes in him in the canon is unknown. Though he was only surviving member by the series finale, Tranza became a new vessel for Radiguet's soul in the non-canon epilogue manga which at the end, depicted Tranza sacrificing himself to destroy Radiguet once and for all in an act of vengeance.
- Maria (マリア Maria?, 1-49): She was formerly known as Rie Aoi (藍リエ Aoi Rie?), Sky Forcer W3, 22 years old, very skilled at piano and love interest of Ryuu Tendou.

Had a relationship with Grey after he protected her during the fight to get back Kaori and Ako who had been turned into a photograph by Camera Jigen (カメラジゲン Kamerajigen?). Always played piano music for Grey despite not knowing how she knew this music after her idenity was found out the relationship got difficult. Grey was willing to let her go if it made her happy. Near the end of the series Radiguet implants a parasite on her body to increase her power, but it turns her into a vampiric creature. She was slain by Radiguet after reverting to Rie, before dying she managed to back-stab him with a sword which allowed the Jet Ícaros to finally kill him with the same maneuver. Died in Grey's arms repeating Ryuu's name. Her ghost later appeared in the finale, saying goodbye to Ryuu after his marriage to Kaori.
- Grey (グレイ Gurei?, 1-50): A robot who ironically was always the most reasoning one in Vyram. Despite being a robot, he showed human feelings, especially love for wine, music, cigarettes, and particularly Maria, whom Grey shielded when fighting Jetman. In the end he realized Maria wasn't his to keep and was willing to let her go to Ryuu. He is armed with the Grey Cannon (グレイキャノン Gurei Kyanon?), Mulshot Gun (マルショットガン Marushotto Gan?), and Hand Greyzer (ハンドグレイザー Hando Gureizā?). Grey is Gai's rival, and in episode 50, they battled in a last duel. Grey lost, but Gai approached him before Grey died, and lit him one last cigarette as a sign of acknowledgment as a worthy rival. Unlike most generals that usually exploded, he simply died in an ordinary way.
- Empress Juuza (女帝ジューザ Jotei Jūza?, 17-18): The previous ruler of Vyram, Juuza along her underlings Radiguet, Grey, and Tran had conquered many dimensions. Thought to be dead in the last battle in the back dimension, she returned after a long sleep, and came to Earth via a meteroite. After banishing the known traitor Radiguet to Earth, was attacked by both Jetman and Vyram, and ultimately killed by Radiguet himself.
