Overview
The franchise revolves around Ray Daichi as he becomes the titular Blitzivan as he fights off against evil civilizations, aliens who are threatening Earth, and dark lifeforms who are after Mirai City's source of power, the Hypercell

History
The idea and concept of the franchise came up in June of 1994 when writer and director Max Axis submitted an unfinished script to the executives of El TV Kadsre Films. The executives liked the script, but insisted that Max should rewrite it so that it can feel more original. So Max rewrote the script, and brought along fellow co-writer Akira Hisashi to give some of his ideas to the script.

When they submitted the revised script to El TV Kadsre Films' executives, they enjoyed the new script and started the production of the first film with an estimated budget of $90 million.
