The series is loosely related to Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and its sequel series JAKQ Dengekitai as the five main characters wear multicolored costumes. Unlike the sentai teams in the aforementioned series, they do not engage in hand-to-hand martial arts combat, only fighting in their combining mecha. All 31 episodes were released on three Region 2 DVD sets in Japan in March, April, and May 2010.
