Character History
Megaforce
Gia is one of the five teenagers chosen by Gosei to save the world from the Warstar Aliens. She first fights alongside her team against Scaraba. Mega Mission
One day, she and Jake flirted with each other. When they saw alien ships capturing humans, they decide to follow the ships in one location and call the other Rangers to help them. After the battle, Jake complimented Gia about how good they are as a team. He Blasted Me With Science A week or so later, Jake and Gia gained access to the Land Brothers Zord. Stranger Ranger
Later, Gia and Emma are turned into worse enemies by Queen Beezara. When the two were reminded by the Rangers they were friends, they broke free from the spell and defeated Beezara. United We Stand
Super Megaforce
During the Armada's invasion, she and Jake return to the Command Center. Slowly the other rangers return to the CC, and Gosei presents them with the Super Megaforce powers.
Super Ninja Steel
Dimensions in Danger
Gia, along with other Rangers, arriving to help fight Draven's army
Gia returned as the Yellow Megaforce Ranger after being kidnapped by Lord Draven along with Katherine Hillard, T.J. Johnson, Trent Fernandez-Mercer, Antonio Garcia, and Rocky DeSantos and sent to his dimension. Lord Dravon used them to make robotic clones of each ranger. They were soon rescued by Wesley Collins, Gemma, Koda, Tommy Oliver and the Ninja Steel Rangers. Gia joins the final fight with the Ninja Steel Rangers and the veteran rangers using her Gosei Morpher and Blaster. After the battle Gia returns back to her dimension with the rest of the rangers.
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 Super Sentai footage from Goseiger, and Yuichi Hachisuka (蜂須賀 祐一 Hachisuka Yūichi) (Super Megaforce Yellow; previously served as Megaforce Pink), in Super Sentai footage from Gokaiger. In US/NZ footage, her suit actor is Kazuhiro Yokoyama (横山 和博 Yokoyama Kazuhiro).
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:
- 2 of Gia's counterparts (Chase Randall, Javier Garcia) aren't Yellow Rangers.
- 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, Lightning Yellow and Supersonic Yellow. On the other hand, she never transformed into the Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Yellow, and the Yellow Overdrive Ranger.
