Dai Sentai Goggle-V (大戦隊ゴーグルファイブ Dai Sentai Gōguru Faibu?, also called Dai Sentai Goggle Five) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series. It was the sixth installment in Toei Company's Super Sentai series of tokusatsu television dramas. It aired on TV Asahi from February 6, 1982 to January 29, 1983, with a total of 50 episodes. Its international English title as listed by Toei is simply Goggle V.
The Dark Science Empire Desdark launches its scheme for world conquest from their Destopia Castle in Germany. Dr. Hideki Hongo, founder of the Future Science Laboratory, is saved from one of their attacks by world class explorer Kenichi Akama. Using his Computer Boys & Girls, Hongo recruits five people, including Akama, to form the Dai Sentai Goggle-V (Goggle 5), the only force capable of stopping Desdark.
The Goggle-V is a team that was recruited and formed by the Future Science Laboratory; their battle phrase is "Fight! Dai Sentai Goggle-V!" (斗え!大戦隊ゴーグルファイブ! Tatakae! Dai Sentai Gōguru Faibu!). Like Denziman, their surnames include their color.
The team has many combination attacks, such as the Lightning Ropes (イナズマロープ Inazuma Rōpu?), the Dynamite Clubs (ダイナマイトクラブ Dainamaito Kurabu?), the Ring Spin Typhoons (リングスピンタイフーン Ringu Supin Taifūn?), the Lightning Balls (電光ボール Denkō Bōru?), the Ribbon Sparks (リボンスパーク Ribon Supāku?), the Goggle Victory Flash (ゴーグルビクトリーフラッシュ Gōguru Bikutorī Furasshu?), the Goggle Bomber (ゴーグルボンバー Gōguru Bonbā?), the Sabre Attack (サーベルアタック Sāberu Atakku?), and the Goggle Golden Spear (ゴーグルゴールデンスピア Gōguru Gōruden Supia?). All are armed with Goggle Sabres (ゴーグルサーベル Gōguru Sāberu?). Notably, the team's weapons include versions of all the apparati used in rhythmic gymnastics, usually distributed by one core member to the others.
