Himitsu Sentai Gorenger

As the first Sentai series, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger remains the longest running entry in the franchise. The story begins when world peace is threatened by the Black Cross Army, also known as Kuro Jujigun, an international secret society of evil. To combat this threat, the United Nations establishes EAGLE, the Earth Guard League. This special defensive force is distributed into regional Blocks across the globe, with Japan housing one of the largest and most vital divisions.

Fearing a unified resistance, the Black Cross Army launches a coordinated surprise attack against the Japanese EAGLE Block. Five of the organization's most dangerous cyborg operatives are dispatched to annihilate the various branches. Golden Mask attacks the Kanto Base, Warrior Mask strikes the Tohoku Base, Bronze Mask hits the Kyushu Base, Jade Mask targets the Hokkaido Base, and Poison Gas Mask assails the Osaka Base. Across Japan, the Black Cross Army systematically eliminates its targets, leaving behind total devastation.

Yet, from the ashes of these destroyed bases, five young survivors vow vengeance. Using special interlocking keys, they are summoned to the snack shop Gon, the secret gateway to EAGLE Japan's main command center in Tokyo, by Commander Gonpachi Edogawa. They are reorganized into the Secret Task Force Gorenger and equipped with specialized Electronic Suits that grant them superhuman abilities. Armed with these form fitted suits and advanced weaponry created by EAGLE scientists, they fight to avenge their fallen comrades and thwart the ambitions of the Black Cross Army.
