## Plot

After conquering hundreds of planets, the Star Cluster Gozma sets its sights on Earth. To defend it, the Japanese military forms an elite Earth Defense Force. Under Commander Ibuki, the force begins rigorous training.
Meanwhile, as their first act, the Gozma decide to eliminate those who pose the greatest risk of interfering with their invasion: the military. After a brutal day of training, the Earth Defense Force recruits are fed up with Ibuki's cruel ways and leave the training session. Soon afterwards, they are attacked by Gozma troops. Five surviving officers gather together, beaten and exhausted but refusing to retreat from the threat. The Earth trembles, empowering them with the Earth Force, giving them the power of mythological beasts and becoming the Changemen. With the mystical power of the Earth Force and military technology, the Changemen begin their war against Gozma.

## Characters
### Changeman

The eponymous Changeman are all former members of the various branches of Japanese military who were hand picked by the Earth Defense Force to combat Gozma. As the Changemen, they derive their powers from a mysterious energy called Earth Force (アースフォース, Āsu Fōsu), which gives its users the power to protect Earth from any threat to it.
* Hiryuu Tsurugi (剣 飛竜, Tsurugi Hiryū): Hiryu was previously an officer from Kōchi Prefecture in the Japanese Air Force before becoming the red-colored Change Dragon (チェンジドラゴン, Chenji Doragon). Tsurugi is a passionate leader with a kind heart, often getting so focused on a task that he does not think of the possible danger he puts himself in to complete it. He is a sharpshooter and a skilled motorcycle driver. He was also his high school's best baseball player until an accident forced him to quit the game. As Change Dragon, Hiryu is a master of airborne attacks as well as close-range and long-range attacks, even adding some of his baseball skills into his techniques.
* Shou Hayate (疾風 翔, Hayate Shō): Sho was previously a Japanese Army Ranger from Aomori Prefecture before becoming the black-colored Change Gryphon (チェンジグリフォン, Chenji Gurifon).

He serves as the group's tech member with the ability to tap into superhuman strength.

Yuma also has a dream to open up a tonkatsu shop after getting enough money to start it up.
* Sayaka Nagisa (渚 さやか, Nagisa Sayaka): Sayaka was previously a task force officer in the Japanese Army before becoming the white-colored Change Mermaid (チェンジマーメイド, Chenji Māmeido). She is the team's strategist, and sometimes focuses too much on the etiquette of her fellow Changemen. However, Sayaka has a loving and caring aspect of her seen in animals and her feelings for Hiryu.
* Mai Tsubasa (翼 麻衣／チェンジフェニックス, Tsubasa Mai): Mai was previously a spy for the Japanese Army before becoming the pink-colored Change Phoenix (チェンジフェニックス, Chenji Fenikkusu).
