France Five

France Five, originally titled Jushi Sentai France Five (translated as Musketeers Squadron France Five) and later known as Shin Kenjushi France Five (translated as New Sword Musketeers France Five), is a French series produced by Buki X-4 Productions in the 2000s. It is an homage to Toei's ever-popular Super Sentai Series, which was extremely popular in France in the 1980s. There have been four half-hour episodes of France Five made, with a fifth (supposedly the conclusion) underway. As a nod to Super Sentai titles having certain motifs, France Five has each member themed after certain aspects of French culture.

This series is said to be a nod to another Sentai pastiche, Aikoku Sentai Dai-Nippon (Patriot Squadron Great Japan) (1982) by Daicon Films (now Gainax).

Interestingly, the series has become somewhat popular in Japan as well, with singer Akira Kushida singing an original theme for Episode 4. Prior to that point, the themes were French remixes of older Sentai theme songs (Choujin Sentai Jetman and Choudenshi Bioman) as well as an original French theme.

Story
Glou Man Chou, ruler of the Lexos Empire, desires to conquer planet Earth. However, the Eiffel Tower generates a barrier around the planet that keeps him from sending his armies en masse. Glou Man Chou sends his warriors and monsters to Earth in order to destroy the tower and enable a full scale invasion, but they are opposed by the France Five.

In the fourth episode, the shield is disabled and Lexos's army is shown prepared to invade the planet.
