''Dengeki Sentai Changeman'' (Blitzkrieg Squadron Changeman) is the ninth ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series, running from 1985 to 1986. Until ''[[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger Goranger]]'' was retroactively included as a ''Super Sentai'' installment, it was also the longest with 55 episodes and two movies (both original works); in terms of episode count, it's still the second longest in the franchise[[note]]While ''Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger'' is four episodes shorter, it had three movies during its run along with a crossover with the following season, plus being the main ''Sentai'' season represented in the first ''Super Hero Taisen'' movie; while ''Changeman'' is the longer season, ''Gokaiger'' having five movies more than makes up the difference[[/note]].

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Notable for having the first female white ranger[[note]]and the first true white ranger, since Big One could be considered more of a "rainbow ranger", both aesthetically and functionally, as well as the fact that ''Series/JAKQDengekitai'' was only retroactively counted as Super Sentai when ''Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger'' aired.[[/note]], substituting yellow in this case (later shows would have white as a substitute for pink instead). However, just like ''Sun Vulcan'', the codenames are animal-based (specifically based on mythical creatures).

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: The late episodes air in 1986, when Halley's Comet was approaching Earth. That was borrowed to set up the last plot. [[spoiler: As Halley's Comet approaches Earth, hidden behind it is a planet that could crash into the planet. The hidden planet is actually Star King Bazoo's true form.]]

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: The fake arrest orders for Yūma Ōzora in Episode 5 are written in English. Although they do make some odd translation choices ("Dengeki Sentai" is translated as "Lightning Party"), it's pretty comprehensible and grammatically correct for a one-scene prop that was written for a Japanese TV show.
