What this Sentai's best known for is actually being the first to reach American airwaves. [[OlderThanTheyThink Before there was]] ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', this show received a GagDub by the Americans (including future Series/KidsInTheHall!) on the Creator/USANetwork. It was very silly, [[NarmCharm but fun in its own way]]. As episodes were included in the compilation series Special Delivery, it's also the first to air on Nickelodeon, beating Samurai by over 20 years.

''Kagaku Sentai Dynaman'' ([[ScienceHero Science Squadron]] Dynaman) is the seventh ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', which aired from 1983 to 1984. It was the first to utilize spandex suits. The TitleThemeTune was sung by [=MoJo=] for the second time in the series. From episode 10 onwards, the franchise's timeslot would be cut down from 30 minutes to 25 minutes due to TV Asahi wanting to expand the timeslot for a news program. This would remain until the franchise was given a Sunday morning timeslot beginning with [[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Megaranger]].

* CatFight: Unlike the [[Series/DaiSentaiGoggleFive previous show]], [[DarkChick Chimera]] doesn't just [[EvilCounterpart share]] [[TheHeart Rei's]] abilities and such... they come to direct blows at times. Hell, during the final battle, they specifically fight one-on-one while the male Dynamen fought Megiddo.

* LastNameBasis: Same like [[Series/DaiSentaiGoggleFive the last season]], although there were slips. The boys are usually called on their surnames, "Dan, Hoshikawa, Shima and Nango". The sole girl is sometimes referred as "Rei", or like the rest, her surname "Tachibana".
