A manga sequel to Jetman was published in 1996 authored by Akiko Fujii, in cooperation with the series’ writing team (still under the Saburo Yatsude pen name). It was titled Chōjin Sentai Jetman: Toki o Kakete (鳥人戦隊ジェットマン 時を駆けて?,
“Time Flies”). Set five years after the series (and, therefore, two
years after the story ends), it shows the four remaining Jetmen
rejoining to battle a revived Radiguet, who had possessed Tranza’s
broken body. Radiguet kidnaps Ryu and Kaori’s one-year-old daughter Aya
Tendo and, much in the same way he turned Rie into Maria before, he
accelerates her growth and brainwashes her into becoming Ruma, whom he
considers a daughter.
Meanwhile, Gai’s empty spot in the team is filled
by a young rock guitarist called Jeff Kensaki, who is empowered by
Birdonic Waves after a meteorite crashes next to him, and becomes Green
Eagle. In this manga series, the Jetman uniform is slightly different,
with the helmets more closely resembling those of Gatchaman (translucent, protruding visors, and uncovered faces).
