## International broadcasts

* In the Philippines, Goggle V (Filipino Version) was first aired ABS-CBN 2 in 1987 Every Saturday Morning and on RPN-9 in 1998 Every Sunday Morning.
* In Italy, the series was broadcast in the mid-1980s and re-broadcast during the *Power Rangers* boom in the country.
* In Brazil, the series was aired on Rede Bandeirantes, Rede Record and TV Guaíba as "Goggle Five - Os Guerreiros do Espaço" (Dai Sentai was dubbed as "Gigantes Guerreiros", literally, "Giant Warriors"), acquired from the Italian version, in the early 1990s, following the success of *Dengeki Sentai Changeman* and *Choushinsei Flashman* in the previous decade. However, it didn't reach the same popularity of Changeman and Flashman previously had there.
* This Super Sentai series was very popular in Indonesia during the mid-1980s. It was readily available in VHS and Betamax format for rental during that time. Goggle V was so popular, it's the only Super Sentai that has a Live Stage Show in Jakarta.
* Goggle-V was the third super sentai series being broadcast in Thailand and the first series for MCOT Channel 9.

## Notes

* Goggle V introduces the format of the first five Rangers being Red, Black, Blue, Yellow and Pink. This format would later be used in *Dynaman*, *Maskman*, *Turboranger*, *Fiveman*, *Zyuranger,* *Megaranger*, *Boukenger* and *Goseiger*.
* Goggle V was the first series to have the title announced at the beginning of the opening credits.
* Although Goggle V is mostly science-based, it has been constantly been referred as a rhythmic gymnastic team due to how their weapons looked, which is ironic, as the only actual gymnast in the team is Miki Momozono.
* This series was originally considered to be called GoGo-V, and later Mirai Sentai Miraiman, but eventually became Goggle V. The first name was reused 17 years later, while part of the second name was reused in the series after that.
* Masakazu Katsura's Weekly Shonen Jump manga *Wingman* referred to this series a few times with the main character influenced by Goggle V to become a sentai-like hero, even taking a rhythm gymnastics class in order to train to fight evil.
* During the opening credits for Season 7-9 for the US Series *The Facts of Life*, a blow-up doll of GoggleRed can be see in the background for their store 'Over Our Heads'.
* This is the only season to have a refrence to the word five in the title, yet not have a full sibling team.
* Goggle V holds a TV show rating of 12.3%. [1]
