Short Films
Ciara Hanna reprised her role of Gia in some short films during 2018.
Dino Mega Charge
Gia teamed up with Tyler Navarro to rescue a civilian from Puttys, Gia is locked in a cell while trying to rescue the man; she tries to morph or contact Gosei or Tensou but fails. Tyler morphs into Dino Charge Red and is able to destroy the monster and frees Gia and the man.
Street Fighter Showdown
When Rita Repulsa joined with M.Bison to destroy the Morphing Grid, Ryu and Chun Li were targeted by evil versions of past Rangers so Tommy along with Gia reunited to give Ryu a power coin created by Ninjor to fight M.Bison and the evil rangers.
Personality
Gia Moran is labeled as 'Miss Perfect', and it's hard to argue with that. Pretty, personable, strict, and a powerful martial artist, Gia is as intelligent as she is confident. She is also shown to be a tomboy. She's been best friends with Emma since they were little, and that's not going to stop just because they're in different social cliques now. The Yellow Ranger's constant success can be frustrating to her teammates, but she and her Tiger Zord are dependable to the end! Gia also plays hard to get, as she obviously has a crush on Jake, which develops later in Power Rangers Super Megaforce, but still refuses to admit it until the very end of the series with a kiss on the cheek. She was, however, completely aware that Jake liked her from the start.

Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Gia Moran was portrayed by Ciara Hanna.
When morphed, Gia was respectively portrayed by suit actors Mizuho Nogawa (野川 瑞穂 Nogawa Mizuho) (Megaforce Yellow; later served as Super Megaforce Pink), in footage from Goseiger, and Yuichi Hachisuka (蜂須賀 祐一 Hachisuka Yūichi) (Super Megaforce Yellow; previously served as Megaforce Pink), in footage from Gokaiger.
Production
- Early scripts listed her name as "Ava", just like Emily.
Notes
- Gia shares several traits with the first Yellow Ranger:
- Gia's Japanese voice actress is Yū Kobayashi.
Counterpart notes
- Gia shares a few things in common with 4 out of 5 of the other Super Mega Rangers in terms of counterparts:
- 1 of Gia's counterparts (Dino Charge Black Ranger) is not a Yellow Ranger.
- 5 of Gia’s counterparts (Yellow Aquitar Ranger, Yellow Wind Ranger, Yellow Mystic Ranger and her successors Dino Charge Black Ranger and Ninja Steel Yellow) were originally male. Out of all the Super Mega Rangers, she has the most opposite gender counterparts.
- However, among these Yellow counterparts are 5 Rangers who were male in their Super Sentai adaptation (Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Galaxy Yellow, Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Yellow, Yellow Wild Force Ranger).
- This causes a minor continuity error as these Rangers gain skirts when Gia morphs into them, despite them never having skirts in their original series.
- However, among these Yellow counterparts are 5 Rangers who were male in their Super Sentai adaptation (Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Galaxy Yellow, Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Yellow, Yellow Wild Force Ranger).
Legendary Ranger Modes
- Gia's most transformed form is Jungle Fury Yellow, including her powered-up form; her least used form is Yellow Alien Ranger, Zeo Ranger II Yellow, Yellow Turbo Ranger, Yellow Space Ranger, Yellow Wind Ranger, Thunder Yellow and Supersonic Yellow. On the other hand, she never transformed into the Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Yellow, and the Yellow Overdrive Ranger.
