Trivia

 * This season is similar to Kamen Rider Decade, in the aspect that an individual can transform into warriors of the past.
 * This is the third season to have a key as arsenal. The first was Carranger used by all five Rangers and second was Abaranger only used by AbareBlack.
 * The word "Gokai" is actually a pun thanks to its spelling. "Goukai" means "heroic". "Gokai" means "misunderstanding".
 * The ending theme, Super Sentai Hero Getter, is an updated version of the 25th Anniversary theme, Super Sentai Tamashii. The latter introduces Goranger through Gokaiger, while the former introduced Goranger through Gaoranger. Also in the ending theme, the singers who originally sang for the series’ opening theme rap the series’ line. E.g.: Yoffy rapping Dekaranger, Iwaki rapping Magiranger, NoB rapping Boukenger etc.
 * The first season where it seems that a vs. only villian debuts in the Sentai main verse. In this case, it is the Juken Sentai Gekiranger vs. Boukenger only villain Cosmic Kenpō Master Pachacamac XII, though technically it is his successor, Pachacamac XIII.
 * There is a common occurance with the appearance of a Red Legend, a shadow of their past Ranger form will appear over them momentarily.
