Episodes 26 and 27 in Flashman are my favorite filler eps from the show because:

1. Episode 26 has Sir Cowler dressed like a chef. That's prolific voice actor Joji freakin Nakata in his late 20s to early 30s at the time dressed like a chef while under all that Sir Cowler makeup and costume.
Joking aside, It's a great filler episode that reminds the viewers how the Flashman team were robbed of things we probably take for granted in life having been abducted by aliens as toddlers, in this case, a homemade meal.

2. Episode 27 introduces us to Mr. Ryosuke Kaizu (or as I like to call him, the Romeo of Super Sentai) as Dai's new boxing buddy who went on to become Takeru/Red Mask in Hikari Sentai Maskman the following year. By the way, Inoue fans should give it a watch if possible because he wrote this one. I feel like this episode could've been a two-parter had they felt like doing it, but it's fine as is too. Also, it's very unintentionally prophetic looking back now because Mr. Kaizu is into the ramen business these days as he has his own ramen restaurant.
