''Battle Fever J'' was the third ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' show, lasting from 1979 to 1980. Following up on the success of their [[Series/SpiderManJapan tokusatsu adaptation]] of ComicBook/SpiderMan (which most of the early Sentai crew worked on after the end of ''Series/JAKQDengekitai''), ''Battle Fever J'' was originally intended to be a localization of the Creator/MarvelComics superhero ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, which would have starred a Japanese counterpart named "Captain Japan". However, this idea was revised after Toei decided to resurrect the Sentai series (without Shotaro Ishinomori's involvement) following a two-year hiatus by adding a giant robot to the formula.

* FranchiseCodifier: For much of the 20th century, this was considered the first true ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series because it was the first one to have the now-staple HumongousMecha.

Moved to YMMV.


* WidgetSeries: The costumes, the dancing... yeah, it's pretty weird.



* YouLookFamiliar: The girl playing Yuki had previously played another role in episode 13, and the woman playing the human form of the very first monster returns in the last episode as [[spoiler:Salome in disguise]].

* DanceBattler: All of the Battle Fever J memebers incorporate dance moves from their home country into their fighting. Though the "home country" part of this context doesn't seem to extend to Japan (whose kung fu moves are very much Chinese) and France (whose flamenco dance isn't as French as much as it is Spanish).
