Niki-Niki! Kenpo Lesson (ニキニキ!拳法修行 Niki-Niki! Kenpō Shugyō) is the seventh episode of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. It is a tribute to Juken Sentai Gekiranger.

Synopsis[]

With the next clue from Navi saying that they need to find the tiger child, the Gokaigers face off against Pachacamac XIII. When he takes away their weapons, Doc and Ahim find their hand-to-hand skills are lacking and start training under Jan Kandou, the former GekiRed.

Plot[]

With the next clue from Navi saying that they need to find the tiger child, the Gokaigers search to no avail before their search is interrupted by Pachacamac XIII. Furious of the interference, the Gokaigers fight Pachacamac yet Ahim and Don are outmatched by Pachacamac's Cosmic Kenpō fighting style with the others assume the forms of the GaoRed, GaoYellow, and GaoBlue to drive him off.

Later, talking over their level of skill in fight, Ahim and Don come across Jan Kandou with the former wanting to train along with the children that Jan's teaching while Don chickens out.

That night, after Navi explains to the crew that they jump to the wrong conclusion by going after a tabby and later realize that they trained themselves, Don resolves to get strong as Captain Marvelous and Luka.

The next day, Don joins Jan's class to Ahim's surprise while the rest of the GokaiGalleon crew battles Pachacamac using the power of the Sun Vulcan team. However, Pachacamac uses a new technique thanks to Insarn 's modifications.

When contacted by Navi about their crewmen in trouble, Ahim and Don learn from Jan that their training is over as he reveals himself as the tiger child they are looking for.

Arriving at the battle, GokaiGreen and GokaiPink tell the others to use the Gekiranger Keys to counter Pachacamac, weakening him before using the Gokai Blast Final Wave to finish him off.

When Pachacamac enlarges, GokaiOh is formed to fight him using the Gekiranger Keys to summon Qi-based images of the GekiBeasts to destroy the villain.

Elsewhere, as Don is now able to stand up for himself, Jan tells Master Sha-Fu that he will entrust the future of the planet to the Gokaigers.

Elements/Homages to Gekiranger[]

GekiRed Legend Shift

GekiRed's Legend Shift

  • The title of this episode is similar those of Gekiranger; it begins with an onomotopeia-like word that is made of a two-syllable word repeated twice, which is a typical trait of Jan. This title is reminiscent of the first Gekiranger title with onomatopoeia, Niki-Niki! Fierce Beast-Fist!
  • Pachacamac XIII is a descendant of the main villain of the Juken Sentai Gekiranger vs. Boukenger crossover movie.
  • The air/water/land change by Marvelous, Joe and Luka is representative of the air/water/land concepts utilized in the first half of Gekiranger, both in the three training masters of the Gekiranger (Bat, Shark, Elephant) and in the three Fist Demons who are the main villains of the first half (Hawk, Jellyfish, Bear).
  • While not directly referenced, Jan is still wearing Long, who was transformed into an orb in the final battle with the Gekirangers, around his neck.
  • The splitting of the Gokaiger into two groups for most of the episode has multiple significance connected to Gekiranger:
    • Having Marvelous, Joe and Luka on their own emphasizes the concept of the "Triangle", the main trio which is the core of the main Geki Juken team; while the joining of Don and Ahim by the end show the addition of the two team-members (GekiViolet and GekiChopper) in the second half to support the Triangle.
    • The splitting of the teams into two show the style of two parallel teams having stories that intersect, thus the stories of the Gekiranger alongside their rival, the Confrontation Beast-Fist warriors Rio and Mele.
