Find more on Wikipedia searching "Space Sheriff Gavan" or "Uchuu Keiji Gavan" (Japenese title). The main actor is named Kenji Ohba and has played in Kill Bill. Find picture on Google Image. The hero had a blue laser sword and a space-shift which could be transformed like a dragon. The series was a great success in France and became cult nowadays. French title was X-OR. Kids should like this hero, far better than Bioman, Spectroman, Power Rangers and others. Resume is the fight between evil forces and the guardian of peace on Earth. As the monsters are trying to enslave or destroy the human race, Space Sheriff Gavan does whatever possible to prepare defense and remove the evil plans. To help him in his missions he has a super space-shift which can become a metal dragon to get for an heroic ride, some laser beams coming from his armor and a truly fantastic laser sword to split the enemy. Before to be Space Sheriff Gavan he is a normal person who can turn into metal hero after a basic choreography with cool special effects. Just enjoy!

Which takes a different approach from the previous two, meaning that it isn't about pure sci-fi fantasy (Gavan) and neither about Horror (Sharivan) but now it's about something akin to The Twilight Zone series, oddly the starting point of the franchise with which the person acting the part of the civilian identity of Shaider (Hiroshi Tsuburaya, grandson of the creator of the Ultraman franchise Eiji Tsuburaya), so that the ending product doesn't feel a 100% re-hash or carbon copy of those previous iterations. It's also great, like it happened in Sharivan, to FINALLY see in a tokusatsu a woman (The lovely JAV Starlet Naomi Morinaga, who I would have gladly seen doing the fights in the JAV attire - meaning naked from head to toe - during the entirety of the series) being an active participant and doing stuff instead of being a side character doing mostly nothing, the way it happened a bit with the otherwise good Spielvan. Her superipergigalovely panties are also the main reason why the few chinks in the armour appearing at the end of the series - meaning the sudden appareance of Vengeance stuff spouted by the enemies and taken directly from the terrible Showa Kamen Rider (some of them are even turned into cyborgs for the same reason) get a pass this time like I gave it a pass in a equally terrible Solbrain episode with a Nazi witch. All in all, highly recommended and DEFINITELY not boring in the slightest, contrary to what other pretended "toku" fans who overrate the good but nothing more Space Sheriff Gavan and stuff like the genuinely boring Kaiketsu Zubat might think. My final verdict for the first three Space Sheriff series is Sharivan > Shaider > Gavan, with Spielvan and Byclosser being good addictions comparable to the level of Gavan.
