This article is about a ranger in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. |
|
The sixth member of Gokaigers, Gai Ikari (伊狩 鎧 Ikari Gai) is Gokai Silver (ゴーカイシルバー Gōkai Shirubā) of the Gokaigers. He is the only Earthling on the team and primarily utilizes the powers of the 6th Sentai Warriors of the past.
Biography
"Ay-yi-yi, this place is a disaster!" Actually, this article/section is in need of clean-up. You can help us out by editing it! Reason: a series summary, as opposed to a character summary |
Early Life
Compared to the other Gokaigers, little is known about his life before he joined the Super Sentai. However, he has revealed that because of his parents, he had to move a lot as a kid. Combined with his outgoing personality and positive attitude, this enabled him to make many friends across many cities.
Becoming a Hero
Gai is an Earthling teenager and a self-professed Super Sentai fanboy. After he saved a little girl from getting hit by a car he was granted the Gokai Cellular by the spirits of the three deceased 6th Rangers DragonRanger, TimeFire, and AbareKiller, all of whom possessed dinosaur themed mecha and were initially antagonistic to their respective teams.
After he was given his powers Gai recognized how similar his ranger form was to the Gokaigers and went searching for them, hoping to join their team. During this time he attempted to unlock the Greater Powers of the Abarangers, Zyurangers and Timerangers. However, short of transforming himself into Gokai Silver, he couldn't truly unleash the Greater Powers, mainly because the GokaiSilver Key was the only key he had on him. TV STORY-Ep. 18: The Big Abare with the Dinosaur Robot Drill
In the aftermath of the Gokaigers' team up with the Goseigers and battle with the Black Cross King, Gai as Gokai Silver watched the Gokai Galleon and gave his respect. TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Meeting the Gokaigers
Upon meeting the Gokaigers, he attempts to impress them and eventually succeeds by transforming and defeating the latest Action Commander. TV STORY-Ep. 17: The Amazing Silver-Colored Man Gai is later taken back to the Gokai Galleon and is questioned about his origin and the Greater Powers in his possession. Gai then reveals that he has been unable to get the Greater Powers to reveal themselves and that he would need the DragonRanger, TimeFire, and AbareKiller ranger keys to make them work. Marvelous then confiscates his Gokai Cellular and Gokai Silver Ranger Key until he can prove that he has something that Marvelous doesn't. He later impresses Marvelous by going into battle without his Gokai Silver powers. Unlike the Gokaigers, Gai isn't out to find the Greater Powers; he is out to save mankind and destroy the Zangyack, something Marvelous finds to be an interesting new concept. Marvelous accepts him and the Gokaigers accept him, however, as a pirate apprentice. TV STORY-Ep. 18: The Big Abare with the Dinosaur Robot Drill
Super Hero Taisen
Gai, alongside his team, among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes, was caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident when Marvelous betrayed the Gokaigers and became the Emperor of Dai-Zangyack to claim the Greater Power of the Kamen Riders. TV STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Gai, along with Joe, Don, Luka and Ahim, arrive in the nick of time to save Kamen Rider Fourze from Marvelous, but not enough time to save his fellow Rider Kamen Rider Meteor. When they demand to know why Marvelous is doing what he is doing, he tells them that it's to save the Super Sentai by eradicating the Kamen Riders, revealing that the perpetrator, Kamen Rider Decade, had slain the Gorengers just as he had done to the Seven Legendary Riders. When Tsukasa and Dai-Shocker attack the Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, the five Gokaigers confront them there, with Gai pointing out that Kamen Riders are heroes of justice, but makes no mention of Tsukasa's time with the Shinkengers. Tsukasa's answer is the opposite of Marvelous': to save the Riders, he must kill the Sentai. He, then, seemingly kills Gai, Ahim and Luka.
When Marvelous and Tsukasa seemingly kill Joe and Daiki Kaito, the two learn that Gai, Luka, and Ahim were still alive before being confronted by Kamen Rider OOO, learning that there's more to this than what they thought. Once Marvelous and Tsukasa are seemingly killed, allowing Rider Hunter Silva and Doktor J to reveal their plan to unite the Gigant Horse and Final Crisis into Big Machine and take over the worlds, the two heroes reveal their ruse and allow the heroes seemingly killed to return. During the final fight, Red1 gives Gai a brief peptalk, telling him to show Silva what a real Silver can do. In response, Eiji tosses the Gokaigers some of his Core Medals, Gai turning them into the Kamen Rider OOO Ranger Keys and becoming Kamen Rider OOO Sagohzo Combo before loading the Ranger Keys into the GokaiGalleon Buster and destroying Silva with the blast. He's last seen watching the reunions with Eiji and Hina and Tsukasa and Kaito before joining Fourze and the Go-Busters in performing Fourze's trademark "Uchuu Kita!" stance.
Super Hero Taihen
In the sections of the Narumi Detective Agency, Gokai Silver walks into Kamen Rider W's base of operations, and opens a sliding door to an Amanogawa High School classroom. Gai asked three questions to Urataros and Narutaki about Sentai and Rider Mysteries.
Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger
Due to being overrun, Gai and Navi were forced to return to Earth. When his teammates returned to Earth, he joined them in battle. But was confused why they were fighting the Go Busters. Gai was ordered to provide Ranger Keys to the others to transform into Goggle V and Timeranger to make a show and Go Busters Powered Morphin'd to follow up ,until Enter showed up with Four Phantom Ranger Keys,excavating the remaining Red Phantom Ranger Key.Unexpectly,the Gather of the keys created a portal,transferring Gai, Yoko, Gorisaki, J and the Gokaigers to various time periods.
Gai was transferred to Japan at the Edo period and eventually met up with Yoko and J,who were also sent over the same place.Find out unable to contact with their allies,J suggested to write a letter and find someone who can pass it to the future,though Yoko points out that there are no one who are capable to so,until Gai remembers someone who can rely on,a clan who owns a fellow Super Sentai - The Shiba. TV STORY-Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie
Super Hero Taisen Z
During the events of Super Hero Taisen Z, Gai makes his first appearance breaking up a sparing match against Daigo Kiryu and Haruto Soma. After doing so, he teams up with Yoko Usami (Yellow Buster), Geki Jumonji (Space Sheriff Gavan Type G), and Kosuke Nitoh (Kamen Rider Beast) to gather as many other super heroes as possible to fight against Space Shocker. During the fight, he reunites with the Gokaigers.
Zyuohger
Gai was sent by Marvelous to borrow all 38 Super Sentai powers (minus their own) to help the Zyuohgers against Bangray and is seen meeting the main five ToQgers, bowing to them for help. TV STORY-Ep. 28: The Space Pirates Return
When Joe, Luka, Don, and Ahim fought against Sela, Leo, Tusk, and Amu, Gai stopped them after he was challenged by Misao and explained to them that keeping the Zyuohgers busy didn't mean fighting them. He, alongside the four Gokaigers explained to the Zyuohgers about the Super Sentai legacy and they are their seniors, the 35th Super Sentai while Zyuohger is the 40th.
Gai, Joe, Luka, Don, and Ahim later joined Marvelous and Zyuohgers to fight the copy of Sentai's last opponents from Marvelous's memory because of Bangray. Gai also became the victim for his memory to be used for calling Gokdos Gill after the fight. He rode on the Misao's seat inside Wild Tousai King. Gai and the rest of Gokaigers bid farewell after the match and told the Zyuohgers that they had returned the Ranger Keys too to the right owners while forgetting that Navi was still in Yamato's home. TV STORY-Ep. 29: The Monarch of the Monarchs
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger
Gokai Silver appeared with his team among the first 38 Super Sentai whom collectively empowered Wild Tousai Shuriken King in its fight against the titanic Gillmarda, granting the Ninningers and Zyuohgers the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst which destroyed Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai. TV STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai
Chou Super Hero Taisen
Akibaranger
Yuko makes a brief reference to Gai in episode 13 of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger: Season Two, when she states that the Akibarangers' love for Super Sentai is even greater than that of a "certain swashbuckling silver hero".
Video game appearances
Gokaiger had two video games released during its run, Super Sentai Battle: Ranger Cross and Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Gathered Transformation! 35 Sentai!. Gokai Silver appeared with his team in the latter, but was absent in the former.

- "Gokai Silver: Gold Mode!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
After discovering his ability to create Hybrid Ranger Keys, Gai created the Gold Anchor Key (ゴールドアンカーキー, Gōrudo Ankā Kī) by combining all 15 of the Sixth Ranger keys which enabled him to transform into Gokai Silver Gold Mode.
To activate Gold Mode, Gai inserts the Anchor Key into a slot at the bottom of the Gokai Cellular. Doing so summons a human sized Anchor Key that transforms into armor that attaches to Gai's body as his helmet pushes down. In this form, he gains an increase in both speed and strength while the Gokai Spear assumes a third form called Anchor Mode.
Final Waves
- Gokai Legend Dream: Gokai Silver Gold Mode's primary finisher where he summons the spirits of 7 of the past Sixth Rangers, who along with Gai fire energy blasts that transform into the the remaining 8 past sixth rangers who attack the opponent before Gai finishes them off with a double anchor slash.
- Gokai Legend Crash: Gai summons the spirits of all previous Silver Rangers along with Go-On Gold to attack an opponent alongside him.
- Gokai Legend Crush: Summoning the spirits of all fifteen previous Sixth Rangers, Gai combines their power with his own as he performs a devastating jumping overhead anchor slash.
- Gokai Shooting Slash: A team attack where Gai hurls the Gokai Spear in Anchor Mode while the other Gokaigers perform a Gokai Slash which combine with the Gokai Spear to form an energy blast in the form of the Gokaigers' symbol. When the blast strikes an opponent, the Gokai Spear penetrates through them first while the Gokai Slashes separate and deliver the final blow.
- Showy Wave: Wielding the Galleon Blaster, Gokai Silver Gold impales the enemy on the Galleon Blaster's bowsprit. With the others bracing him, he them fires a Rising Strike at point blank range. Gai used this attack to deliver the final blow to Zangyack Emperor Ackdos Gil.
In Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O, Gokai Red can use Gai's Gold Anchor Key to become Gokai Red Gold Mode (ゴーカイレッド ゴールドモード Gōkai Reddo Gōrudo Mōdo). However, as it is Gai's key, Gokai Red's Gold Mode is identical to Gokai Silver's Gold Mode, with the 15 Sixth Rangers rather than the past 34 Red Rangers. As shown in cards, Gai's Gold Mode can be used by the rest of the Gokaigers as well.
Appearances: Gokaiger Episodes 19-21, 23, 24, 26, 29-31, 33, 35, 38, 40, 41, 46, 50, 51, Final Live Show, Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger
- "Go-On Wings!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Go-On Wings is Gai's second unique form, combined from two of the Go-On Wing Ranger Keys. When the others performed a Gokai Change into the Go-Ongers, Gai was unsure which of the Go-On Wings he should transform into. As he wished there was a way for him to be both, the keys merged into one which enabled him to transform into a hybrid Go-On Wings. In this form, he utilizes both of the Go-On Wings' Rocket Daggers with a Wing trigger on both sides of his belt.
Weapons
Attacks
- Jet Dagger
Appearances: Gokaiger Episodes 19, 31, 36, 51, Final Live Show
- "Merry Christmas!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Gokai Christmas is Gai's fourth unique form. While fighting Action Commander Bibaboo on Christmas Eve, Gai decided to fuse Marvelous' and Doc's keys together to create a holiday themed form. With his green and red color as well as the gold Gokai symbol on his helmet, Gai not only served as a "Christmas hero" but also matched the colors of the flag of Portugal; the nation which brought Christmas to Japan.
Weapons
Final Waves
- Gokai Christmas Slash (ゴーカイクリスマススラッシュ Gōkai Kurisumasu Surasshu): Gokai Christmas' Final Wave attack. Essentially a Gokai Blast and Slash performed with a green Gokai Blast backed by a red Gokai Slash; used in conjunction with the other Gokaigers using Battle Fever's Penta Force cannon to finish off Action Commander Bibaboo.
This form is exclusive to Gokaiger Episode 44.
- "Gokaiger?"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
During the time Insarn's gun fused Marvelous and Gai, their powers became fused together, and so, when Gai used his key with Marvelous's Mobilate, the hybrid form of Gokai Red and Gokai Silver was made.

Summons
For attacks, Gokai Silver's been seen to somehow summon manifestations of past rangers. He is the second ever seen doing so, after Joe Gibken as Gokai Blue. However, his attacks with summons are fairly more regular, given his ability to communicate (in his mind) with the 15 warriors.
- Gokai Legendream (Final Wave) (Episodes 19-21, 23, 24, 29, 30, 33, 35, 38, 40, 46, 50, Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger)
- Shooters: These Sixth Rangers manifest the "close combat" Rangers through blasts from their weapons in Gun Mode.
- Close Combat: These warriors hack and slash (punch in DekaBreak's case) at the target and precede Gokai Silver's final strikes.
- Gokai Legend Crash (Final Wave) (Episodes 31 & 51)
- Summons: Gokai Silver, when using this Final Wave, summons the 5 previous silver rangers and Go-on Gold to assist in a slash attack.
- In the second use 20 episodes later, all 16 Sixth Rangers (even MagiShine) join in for an overhead slash attack.
- Summons: Gokai Silver, when using this Final Wave, summons the 5 previous silver rangers and Go-on Gold to assist in a slash attack.
Ranger Key
- "Gokaiger!"
- ―Gokai Cellular's Gokai Change announcement[src]
The Gokai Silver Ranger Key (ゴーカイシルバレンジャーキー Gōkai Shirubā Renjā Kī) is Gai's personal Ranger Key which allows him to transform into Gokai Silver. Whereas the keys of the 34 Sentai were created out of the sacrifice of their powers in the Great Legend War, with the five Gokaiger Ranger Keys assumed to have been created by AkaRed. Gokai Silver's powers were created by Mikoto Nakadai (AbareKiller), with Burai (DragonRanger) and Naoto Takizawa (TimeFire), as all three were deceased previous Sixth Rangers.
As with the other Gokaiger Ranger Keys, this key is commonly used in the Gokaigers' Ranger Key-compatible arsenal and mecha for different functions and attacks.
This Ranger Key was turned into a Ranger puppet once, by Basco. Along with the other Gokaigers bar an incapacitated Marvelous, Gai confronted and defeated the puppet Gokai Silver. TV STORY-Ep. 48: The Fated Showdown
Bounty
Gai's initial Zangyack bounty is Z=100,000, which leaves Don dismayed that the newcomer already had a bounty that was twenty times his. TV STORY-Ep. 18: The Big Abare with the Dinosaur Robot Drill Due to his role in the death of Warz Gill, his bounty was increased to Z=300,000. TV STORY-Ep. 39: Why? We're High School Students.
Imitations
The shape-shifting monster Vannain took the form of Gokai Silver while fighting with Gai. The Gokaigers were confused as to which one was which, but Luka had an idea. The Gokaigers changed into the Megarangers, with the real Gokai Silver becoming MegaSilver, leaving Vannain exposed as the fake. TV STORY-Ep. 34: Dream Comes True
Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Gai Ikari is portrayed by Junya Ikeda (池田 純矢 Ikeda Jun'ya). As with his character, Junya is also a fan of Super Sentai. He stated in his blog that when he was a child he wanted to be KibaRanger from Gosei Sentai Dairanger. In episode 19, the first thing Gai does when he is allowed to summon Ranger Keys is to summon the KibaRanger key. Three episodes later, Gai finally transforms into KibaRanger.
In the Korean dub of Gokaiger entitled Power Rangers Captain Force, Gai's name changed into Park Jae-min (박재민), and is voiced by Nam Doh-hyeong (남도형, 南度亨).
As Gokai Silver, his suit actor is Daisuke Satō (佐藤 太輔 Satō Daisuke), who later served as suit actor for Beet J Stag/Stag Buster in Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
Etymology
- Gai's name sounds similar to Gaia, the primordial Greek goddess or personification of the Earth, which may be a reference to the fact that he is the only Earthling on the Gokaiger crew.
- His surname, "Ikari", is pronounced the same as the Japanese term for "Anchor" (錨 Ikari), which is a feature exhibited in much of his arsenal, from his personal symbol to one of his weapons' alternative forms, as well as the Gold Mode's motif and also a possible metaphorical reference to how his moral compass keeps his teammates anchored to Earth.
- Gai's given name means "Armor", referencing Gold Mode. His name is actually an alternative pronounciation of the kanji, with the common-most one being "Yoroi", with that being why Sosuke called Gai "Yoroi". TV STORY-Ep. 35: Dimension on the Other Side
Notes
- Prior to the revelation of Gokai Silver's identity, it was speculated that Barizorg, returned to his human form of Sid Bamick would become Gokai Silver. Basco ta Jolokia was also briefly suspected due to the fact that he had the Sixth Ranger Keys first.
- It is worth noting that while the core Gokaiger helmets resemble pirate hats, Gokai Silver's helmet resembles a bandanna frequently seen on fictional pirates such as Jack Sparrow.
- Gai Ikari is the second Super Sentai Fan in the series. The first was Radietta Fanbelt (White Racer) from Gekisou Sentai Carranger. This would be repeated again in Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger with Nobuo Akagi (AkibaRed). However, Radietta & Nobuo are not official Rangers.
- Gai's Gold Mode is similar to Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider Diend's Complete Forms, as they both have armor that features the faces of those that preceded them.
- Gai's Legendream finisher is similar to Kamen Rider Diend's Complete Form finisher; 7 warriors appear beside them, and they attack their opponent all at once.
- Gai's Go-On Wings hybrid is similar to Kamen Rider W's LunaMetal form, as they both are half gold and silver.
- Gai's Gold Mode is one of the most used Gokai Changes, being used 18 times. Justifiably, he mostly enters Gold Mode just to unleash his final attacks (like the Gokai Legendream, for example).
- Gokai Silver's sunglasses-esque visor is the precursor of the visor style used in the next series, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
- Prior to that, fans have noted similarities with the anime series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, pointing to Gai's visor shape resembling the character Kamina's iconic sunglasses; also, the drill motif of GoZyuJin also helped, as well as Gai's overzealous and hot-blooded nature.
- Gai is the only 6th Ranger to appear in Kamen Rider x Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen.
- Because of that, he is also the only Silver Ranger there as well.
- Given the fact that the Gokaigers in the last episode have returned the Keys to their rightful owners, Gai cannot summon GoZyuJin (or its other forms) anymore; nor can he assume his Gold Mode.
- Gai is the first Silver Ranger to be immediately preceded and succeeded by Rangers of the same color. This is followed by Beet J. Stag, one of Gai's immediate successors.
- Gai's catchphrase makes a pun off of his color: while gingin means "excited", gin means "silver".
- Gai's bandana-like helmet resembles the roman numeral for 16 (XVI), which reflects on how he is the 16th Sixth Ranger.
- Gai is a complete mirror of his PR counterpart Orion in that Gai is the only human on a team full of aliens while Orion is the only alien on a team full of humans. Also his backstory on how he became the Silver Ranger mirrors that of Captain Marvelous finding the Akarenger Ranger Key & his home planet being destroyed by the Armada also mirrors the 5 main Gokaigers' having theirs destroyed by the Zangyack.
- Gai's ability to combine Ranger Keys by picturing it is similar to the Imagination ability of the ToQgers.
- Gai fought alongside his team to defeat the revived Zangyack in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Final Live Show.
- As Gokai Silver's powers were created by DragonRanger, AbareKiller and TimeFire, besides resembling a pirate anchor, Gokai Silver's personal symbol is also shaped in a way to slightly resemble DragonRanger's and the Abarangers' symbols, as well as the visors of the Timerangers.
Counterpart notes
- Gai shares a few things in common with the 5 other Gokaigers in terms of counterparts.
- He is one of three Gokaigers to not have a counterpart from every previous Sentai team (the other two being Don and Ahim). However, unlike the other two, Gai does not have a counterpart from any of the pre-Zyuranger teams instead of just lacking a counterpart from Sun Vulcan.
- Due to his consistent usage of the Black Knight key, he shares an unofficial counterpart with Captain Marvelous on a character portrayed by Teruaki Ogawa.
- He and Joe each have a counterpart played by Shiro Izumi. In Gai's case, his is DragonRanger from Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger.
- He and Don share the same amount of Red Ranger counterparts (1).
- He and Luka each have a counterpart played by Hiroya Matsumoto. In his case, his is Beet Buster from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
- He and Luka share the same amount of Orange Ranger counterparts (1) .
- He is one of two Gokaigers with more than one counterpart from a single season, in his case, Go-On Gold and Go-On Silver from Engine Sentai Go-Onger, Beet Buster and Stag Buster from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, and Lupin X/Patren X from Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger (the other being Marvelous).
- Ironically, even though Gai is a happy-go-lucky team player, most of his counterparts (DragonRanger, TimeFire, GaoSilver, AbareKiller, Bouken Silver, the Go-On Wings, Gosei Knight and his successor ToQ 6gou) were hardcore loners.
- His cooperative counterparts include KibaRanger, KingRanger, MegaSilver, Shurikenger, DekaBreak, MagiShine, Shinken Gold and his successors Beet Buster, Stag Buster, Kyoryu Gold, StarNinger, Zyuoh The World, and Lupin X/Patren X.
- Gai has the following quirks that make him unique among the Gokaigers concerning his counterparts:
- Despite having the least amount of counterparts compared to the others, Gai has the most amount of different colored counterparts out of all the Gokaigers (Green, White, Black, Silver, Red, Gold, and Orange).
- Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger and Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters are the only seasons where Gai has a counterpart while one of the main five Gokaigers doesn't.
- 3 Silver Rangers (DekaBright, Kyoryu Silver, and Hebitsukai Silver) are not Gai's counterparts, as 2 of them are extra Rangers, while the other is a core Ranger.
- Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, Gekisou Sentai Carranger, Seijuu Sentai Gingaman, Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive, and Juken Sentai Gekiranger are the only post-Jetman Sentai teams where Gai does not have a counterpart.
- However, he is the only character to use the Black Knight key, even if he is considered an Extra Hero and not a 6th.
- Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger is the only season where Gai has a counterpart with two colors instead of one.
Gokai Change notes
- Gai is the only Gokaiger whose first in-series Gokai Change was neither his color (silver) or the first Ranger that can be considered his counterpart (DragonRanger).
- Although it may just be coincidence, the first Ranger he changed into, KingRanger, was a Black Ranger. This is also the same color as Magne Warrior, the first of the two "prototype" 6th Rangers.
- Likewise, like the Gokaiger's first in-series transformation were the first Sentai ever in the viewer's perspective (the Gorengers), Gai becoming KingRanger may represent him becoming the first Sentai character in existence in-universe. KingRanger was active 600 million years prior, long before the second-oldest Sentai in existence: the six Zyurangers.
- Coincidentally, his first silver Gokai Change was Bouken Silver, the Sixth Ranger of the last anniversary series, GoGo Sentai Boukenger.
- Out of the 5 Sentai Warriors whose Power Rangers counterpart is Tommy Oliver, AbareBlack is the only one Gai has not transformed into.
- Gai is the only Gokaiger besides Marvelous to use all of the Red Ranger keys. This is thanks to the special DVD, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Let's Do This Goldenly! Roughly! 36 Round Gokai Change!!, where he transformed into all the red heroes from Akarenger to Gokai Red. Although this was when Gai and Marvelous were combined into one body, which was essentially Marvelous with Gai's dress sense, the two of them were both in the mind and it was Gai who was in the driver's seat when he performed these changes. If one doesn't count this, he has only changed into DekaRed (48), Go-On Red (Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger), BoukenRed and TyrannoRanger (Zyuohger 29).
- Gai's most used Gokai Change is Shurikenger with 6 if you include his Fire Mode. On the other hand, he never used the Go-On Silver key on it's own, but has used the Go-On Gold Key on its own, three times. But his least used Gokai Change is a three-way tie between GaoSilver, AbareKiller, and MagiShine with one each.
- It's very possible, that during team-up with Zyuohger, Gai had access to the Ranger Keys of his successors with the Sixth Ranger place - Beet Buster, Stag Buster, Kyoryu Gold, ToQ 6gou and StarNinger. However he didn't use any post-Gokaiger keys in these episodes.
- Out of the 2 Sentai Warriors each whose Power Rangers counterpart is Troy Burrows and Jason Lee Scott, Gai has transformed into both
