A long running meta-series by Tatsunoko Production, the Time Bokan meta-series typically involves a Battle Couple, a Robot Buddy, and Mini-Mecha based off animals stopping a Terrible Trio (maybe even THE Terrible Trio) from doing misdeeds.The first in the series was the aforementioned Time Bokan in 1975. It involved the aforementioned Battle Couple traveling through time to find a Plot Coupon and a missing scientist, while racing and going up against a Terrible Trio consisting of a Fat and Skinny male duo and a Stripperiffic female. Following this it was decided that Time Bokan would become a meta-series and each of the sequels would carry the name as a subtitle.The second series in 1977 would become the longest and arguably most memorable in the entire meta-series: Yatterman. While maintaining a similar plot as well as having Expies of the heroes and villains, the story this time didn't involve time travel, instead opting for a Sentai, "Mecha of the Week"-type format. Yatterman would eventually get a Revival in 2008, as well as a live action adaptation in 2009. It even found itself a sequel series in 2015 with Yatterman Night, which also serves as the Time Bokan franchise's 40th anniversary special.The rest of series: Zenderman, Otasukeman, Yattodetaman, Ippatsuman, and Itadakiman would more or less feature the same concept. Some series would feature time travel, and others would be set in the present day. Yattodetaman and Ippatsuman are the only two series to not have a Battle Couple but rather a titular hero fighting the antagonists. They are also the only two series to feature Humongous Mecha. Following a 1993 OVA involving the then seven Terrible Trios in a parody of Wacky Races, the eighth and final series Kiramekiman aired in 2000.Many of the series in the franchise became big international hits across Europe and Latin America, but the original 1975-76 series was the only one from the original franchise to reach the United States, in two dubbed feature-length edits titled Time Fighters and Time Fighters in the Land of Fantasy, released in 1984. Spanish-speaking Americans were more fortunate, getting the entire series on Univision as La máquina del tiempo ("The Time Machine").Compare to Superbook and Flying House, two other Tatsunoko productions featuring time travel that ran (on a rival channel) contemporaneous with the Time Bokan franchise, but substituting Biblical themes for the slapstick comedy and scantily clad villainesses.In 2016, Tatsunoko announced that, as part of celebration for their 55th anniversary, they are producing a new entry in the series called Time Bokan 24, co-produced by Level 5. The new series debuted in the Fall 2016 season. The 1993 OVA, Time Bokan: Royal Revival, has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks for a US release.Since Yatterman sort of became its own entity outside of the Time Bokan franchise, it gets its own page here. Otasukeman also gets its own page here. | |

It Was with You All Along: Dr. Kieta was in the present day the entire time. After traveling back from Perasuke's time, the Doctor left the Time Bokan. Perasuke accidentally booted it back up while the Doctor wasn't looking, and ended up landing it where it should have landed in the first place—the lab. He then stumbled out of the cockpit, encountering our heroes in the process and kickstarting a 27-episode long search and a gang of thieves on their tails for their trouble. | |

Recycled Soundtrack: Multiple pieces of background music have been reused in later series. For example, the theme heard during the Dorombo gang scams in Yatterman is sometimes used in Otasukeman when the Ojamamen seem to be very close into succeeding with their plan, while a fanfare associated with the Time Patrol in Otasukeman comes back in the second half of Yattodetaman as Daikyojin's entrance theme. | |

Defeat by Modesty: Yattodetaman loves using this tactic. Mirenjo is often the victim to this ploy- in fact, it happened so often, that Mirenjo decides to undress herself during one episode to avoid seeing her dress getting destroyed yet again. An episode has a reverse situation with Kokematsu use a corrisive liquid on Koyomi's clothes. In another episode he use an XRay pistol on Koyomi and Karen, but thanks to Yattodetman's interference the ray ends up on Mirenjo. | |

Believing that humanity was too self-destructive and greedy to be allowed to explore the galaxy, she planned to get the Psychic Robot data from the Time Lease and enslave Earth first. | |

Christmas Episode: Episode 46 where Skull Lease chairwoman Con Cordo lets Mun-Mun arrange for a Christmas party that Gou and the orphanage he was raised at are invited to attend, with a Snow White motif. Unbeknownst to everyone, even her, it was a trap set up by Tamashiro and Agent 000 to expose Gou as Ippatsuman, killing him if he doesn’t confess. Furious at being manipulated, she and the rest of the Clean Aku trio attempt to stop them to no avail, fleeing when Ippatsuman seemingly arrives (who is actually Gou’s colleague Haruka standing in for him). | |

| Time Bokan / int_87c0c782 | comment |
"Day of the Week" Name: The Italian adaptation, called Calendar Men, had a field day with this. Since the series' main theme is time travel, they decided to give everyone names related to days of the week, months and so on. For example, Mirenjo became Lunedì (Monday) and her little brother Komaro became Sabato (Saturday); her two lackeys were renamed Settembre and Ottobre, full names Primo Settembre and Due Ottobre ("September the First" and "October the Second"), the hero's wimpy alter ego Wataru Toki became Beppe Domani (something like "Joe Tomorrow")... | |

Time Travel: The main deal of the franchise, with each episode set in a different era (and some times even in fictional stories). Ironically, Yatterman, the most successful entry in the series, is the only exception. | |

The Dog Was the Mastermind | |
| Time Bokan / int_a08199ec | comment |
The Dog Was the Mastermind: Oddly enough, it was the Trio's pet this turn around who turned out to be the Big Bad. Nyaravolta found the lake containing the elixir long ago and had actually lived for thousands of years due to a sample he obtained. However, the elixir’s effect wasn’t infinite, and by the end of the series he was in need of more. He used the Akudaman trio to locate the lake for him, and had no intention of letting them have any of the elixir. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
| Time Bokan / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: There was a 3-episode OVA in the 90s called Sengoku Bushou Retsuden Bakufu Hissatsuman, made by the same studio behind the Casshan: Robot Hunter OVA. Despite being directed by franchise director Hiroshi Sasagawa and being thematically similar to other Time Bokan series, Tatsunoko does not consider it a part of the franchise. In a similar fashion, the 2012 1-episode OVA Ippatsu Hicchū!! Devander, also directed by Sagasawa and with a similar tone (including a cameo appearance by Reporter Sasayaki from Yattodetaman), isn't counted as part of the franchise. | |

Only Known by Their Nickname: The titular Time Bokan. It actually refers to three mechs over the course of the series: the "Time Mechabuton" (the first), the "Time Dotabattan" (a locust mech), and the "Time Kuwagattan" (a Stag beetle mech). The term "Time Bokan" itself just refers to its carrier functions, as they all carry smaller mechs inside them. | |

Her entire kingdom is similar to France and the Japanese name is a malapropism of Versailles. Even the opening theme song (sung by Mayumi Tanaka) itself counts, with mentions of pop, film and sports idols both East and West, including Akina Nakamori, Seiko Matsuda, Nadia Comaneci, and Nastassja Kinski. | |

Villain-Based Franchise: Let's be frank, who remembers the names of the heroes? Everyone loves the Terrible Trio, though. Specifically, one Terrible Trio: the Doronbo Gang. These wacky villains have been at the center of many adaptations, including both Royal Revival OVAs and numerous games. So much, in fact, that the distant sequel series is about their descendants instead of Gan and Ai's (although they have Expies as main characters too). | |

Unobtanium: Whatever makes up the contents of Dynamonds. In use, they have about 100 times the explosive power of Uranium, making it perfect for the Time Skeletons to power up their mechs. | |

Awful Wedded Life: Kosuinen is married with Tohoku Anna, a snobbish woman that blows Kosuinen’s wages on expensive material and that the only reason he married her was because she bore a striking resemblance to Mun-Mun. He lives in an apartment complex just to avoid her. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: During the second half of the series, the heroes' Zender-Lion mecha is replaced with the Zender-Gorilla. The new gorilla mecha is much more vulnerable against the feminine wiles of Muujo, leading Muujo to come up with seductive poses and costumes to keep Zender-Gorilla's focus away from attacking in battle. | |

Theme Naming: While not as evident as with their Italian dub equivalents, the names of some characters still have some time-related puns in them. Wataru Toki can be literally translated as "traveling through time", Koyomi means "calendar", Karen and Mirenjo sound like "calendar" and "millennium"... | |
