Followed by Denshi Sentai Denziman

Battle Fever J (????????J Batoru F?b? Jei?) is a Japanese TV series, being the third entry of the Super Sentai series franchise. It was co-produced by Toei Company and TV Asahi and aired on TV Asahi on February 3, 1979 - January 26, 1980 with a total of 52 episodes. It was Toei’s second co-production with Marvel.

The Rangers have designations named for countries around the world : Battle Japan, Battle France, Battle Cossack (Soviet Union), Battle Kenya and Miss America (United States). It was also the second show to introduce the Super Sentai format, where the heroes must control giant robots to defeat a monster who itself has grown to a gigantic size (or anything similar). Toei’s tokusatsu adaptation of Spider-Man was the first to introduce this format used by Super Sentai to the present day, and it was the inspiration for this series, following its success. The series was also partially inspired by the Marvel Comics character; Captain America.

Battle Fever J was the first series to use the term Super Sentai (unlike the previous two who were just called Sentai, without the “Super”). For a long time, up to the airing of Kakuranger, Battle Fever J was considered the first entry in the Super Sentai series, as seen in Episode 0 of Turboranger that honors the past 10 sentai (the other 9 being Denziman, Sun Vulcan, Goggle V, Dynaman, Bioman, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman and Liveman) until Toei announced in 1994 that its predecessors Goranger and J.A.K.Q. were also part of the Super Sentai series, when Chouriki Sentai Ohranger was announced as the 19th super sentai team.

Battle Fever J was especially popular in Hawaii, along with Goranger, Kikaider, Kamen Rider V3, and Ultraman, all of which were shown in the original Japanese and subtitled by JN Productions on then KIKU Channel 13.

Plot

General Kurama assembles four young agents who had been dispatched around the world for training. They are joined by FBI investigator Diane Martin, whose father was murdered by Egos. The five don powered suits to become the Battle Fever team. (The word ‘fever’ was trendy at the time.) The Battle Fever team’s trump card is the Battle Fever Robo. Egos tries to stop the construction of the Robot, but the monsters they send to perform this task are defeated one by one by the Fever team. Egos then unleashes the ‘younger brother’ of the Buffalo Monster, a giant robot replica of its ‘older brother’. The Robot, fortunately, is finished in time. Aboard it, the Fever team defeats the Buffalo Monster and its successors. The Fever team never stops, even when it lost two of its members (the original Miss America and Battle Cossack). With new members, the team defeats Hedder, now the Hedder Monster, and breaks into Egos’ headquarters, where they are fed into the Egos Monster Making Machine so that they may be used as material for a Battle Fever Monster. The team destroys the machine and slays the mysterious deity Satan Egos himself with the Lightning Sword Rocketter sword-throwing move.

Benoît de Maillet

Benoît de Maillet, from “Description de l’Égypte” Paris, 1735.

Benoît de Maillet (Saint-Mihiel, 12 April 1656 – Marseille, 30 January 1738) was a well-travelled French diplomat and natural historian. He was French consul general at Cairo, and overseer in the Levant. He formulated an evolutionary hypothesis to explain the origin of the earth and its contents.

Maillet’s geological observations convinced him that the earth could not have been created in an instant because the features of the crust indicate a slow development by natural processes. He also believed that creatures on the land were ultimately derived from creatures living in the seas. He believed in the natural origin of man. He estimated that the development of the earth took two billion years.

  • 2 The book and its history
  • 3 The argument
  • 4 References

Life

Maillet was a nobleman of Lorraine, born into a distinguished Catholic family. He did not attend university, but he received an excellent classical education. Maillet was interested in geology and natural history, and took advantage of his travels to make observations. He was French general consul at Cairo (1692–1708), during which time he studied the Egyptian pyramids, and at Leghorn (1712–1717). He was French overseer in the Levant and the Barbarous states from 1715 until his retirement.

The book and its history

His main work, Telliamed (his name in reverse), was published, after his death, in 1748. based on manuscripts written between 1722 and 1732. The printed text was the result of ten years’ editing by the Abbott Jean Baptiste de Mascrier in an attempt to reconcile the proposed system with the dogma of the Catholic Church. Maillet relied on him even though he had done a poor job editing Maillet’s earlier book Description de l’Egypte (1735). As a result of Mascrier’s tinkering, none of the printed editions accurately represents Maillet’s work, though the best is the third and final edition, published in the Hague and Paris in 1755, which includes the only biography of Maillet that we have.

As a result of the assiduous textual work by Neubert, who compared in detail the text of the third edition with the content of copied manuscripts, it is possible to say that the 1755 edition differed from the manuscripts by:

With this information as a starting point, it has been possible to largely reconstruct Maillet’s original content. The translation presented in the 1968 edition is not a simple reprint. It is based on the best surviving manuscript, ILL1 (Introduction, p31). Extensive notes carry expanations, comments, and variations between sources. This edition therefore becomes the basis for any analysis of Maillet’s ideas.

The ‘Indian philosopher’ speaks the views of Maillet himself. The device is transparently obvious, but understandable because the philosopher contradicts the literal word of the Bible at a time when this still carried some risk to his person and livelihood. The delay in publication can also be interpreted the same way, protecting the author and then protecting the editor, giving the latter time to soften the blow by watering down Maillet’s ideas.

The argument

It was, in its essence, an ultraneptunian theory of the Earth, and was to a large extent based on field geology discerned during trips throughout Egypt and other Mediterranean countries. It is based essentially on processes today known as sedimentation, excluding all other geological or geomorphological agents except some minor aspects of weathering. The work therefore seems modern as it touches sedimentation, but fantastical when touching other fields. Maillet observed, but did not always understand, all the major types of rocks forming the earth’s crust.

From the observation of fossilized shells embedded in sedimentary rocks on mountains high above sea level, de Maillet recognized the true nature of fossils. Not appreciating that the land might rise, he concluded that the earth had originally been entirely covered by water (a theory of René Descartes), which had since been steadily lost into the vortex. Maillet derived a rate of fall of sea level, of about three inches per century, from sites where former ports were now above sea level. Working back to the highest mountains, he reached a figure of 2.4 billion years for the age of the earth, so he though it quite reasonable to accept that at least 2 billion years had passed since the earth was covered with water. Of course, this attempt is flawed in several ways; but it contains the seed of real progress. He saw the importance of slow natural processes operating over long periods of time, forming and shaping the earth. He introduced the idea that the Earth might be billions of years old, which even a century and a half after his death would have been denied.

Maillet’s idea on biology had a similar basis. He thought that life had begun in the water, after the emergence of the highest mountains, but before the continents. He believes that life arose in the shallows surrounding the first land. Sea life, fish, shellfish, algae, diversified and their remains were covered with sediment and became secondary rocks laid down on the sides of primitive mountains. When continents emerged from the water, so did marine organisms. From seaweed developed trees and shrubs, from flying fish came birds. Man’s career began as a fish.

The context for this proto-evolutionary thought is Maillet’s belief that space contained the seeds of life, invisible spores always available for seeding. This theory of the origin of life is called panspermia. The really important observation he made was that the lower layers of sedimentary rocks contained animals and plants different from those of today, and some types that were unrecognisable. He offered several explanations, none of which reach the present idea of evolution, but at least he did appreciate this was a critical issue.

Maillet’s ideas on the history of mankind are the weakest part of his conception. He incorporates a number of myths and traditions which are simply incorrect. His system of calculating time does not work because no remains of humans are present in the kind of sedimentary rocks he examined. He believes man has a long history, that he originated in the water, and developed into a land animal. He knows it is a problem that men do not look as though they were sea creatures, but his explanations of such difficulties are feeble. What he had done was to “combine a correct understanding of artefacts of the iron and bronze ages with the erroneous interpretation of Cainozoic vertebrates as human skeletons, and silicified logs in fluvio-continental deposits as petrified ships (as Steno did)..”

The Mitsubishi Pajero Junior is a mini SUV produced by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors between 1995 and 1998. Based on a lengthened Minica platform, it was a larger version of the Mitsubishi Pajero Mini, though unlike that car it was too big to qualify for the kei car classification.

The popularity of the vehicle inspired Mitsubishi to create several limited editions, including the “Pajero Jr. McTwist”, and “Pajero Jr. Lynx”, which were exhibited at the 32nd Tokyo Motor Show in 1997.

History

The movement to create Seoul United began in 2001 as a group of supporters set about bringing professional football back to the city of Seoul, following the K-League’s decision to relocate the then-capital clubs to other cities.

The movement suffered a setback at the end of 2003 when LG moved their Anyang LG Cheetahs club from Anyang to Seoul, becoming FC Seoul and taking up residence at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Despite this, the fan push continued and the establishment of the K3 League in 2007 gave a realistic opportunity for involvement in the league set-up. Two amateur sides, Good Bu&Bu (Good Friend) and Youngseo FC (Jin Seoul), were merged to create the new club and the home venue of Seoul Olympic Main Stadium was chosen.

The team’s first ever match was played on April 21, 2007, a 2-2 home draw with Changwon Dudae FC.

The inaugural K3-League season ended with the club clinching the first ever K3 League title after a 3-0 aggregate victory over Hwasung Sinwoo Electronics in the championship playoffs.
