This article is about a recurring event in the Super Sentai and Power Rangers franchises. |
A staple of Super Sentai/Power Rangers seasons is the monsters growing to a giant size, usually after being (nearly) destroyed in battle. This would cause the Rangers to summon their Zords or Mechas to finish the monsters for good. Many monsters require recurring villains to make them grow while others possess the ability to do it all by themselves. Some monsters automatically grow giant when they absorb enough power, though this usually requires a great amount of energy. Most enlargers can be used before or after a monster is destroyed, but a few only work before, or after. In some cases monsters do not grow but are shown to pilot their own giant robots or hijack the Rangers' Zords and there are a few cases where the monster is or appears naturally giant-sized. In the event enlarged monsters are defeated but still survive, the enlargement is undone and the monsters return to a smaller size but are often badly injured. Sometimes enlarged monsters retreat and are teleported back to their base, shrinking to normal size in the process, and some monster enlargers are also used to enlarge objects. Occasionally, a monster's weapon or body part will be destroyed but come back when the monster is enlarged. Some villains can also grow giant on their own, or maybe they grow giant using enlargers.
While most Sentai/PR seasons make monsters giant, certain seasons do not follow this strategy: Battle Fever J and Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters/Power Rangers Beast Morphers use robotic clones while Dai Sentai Goggle-V, Chodenshi Bioman and Tokuso Sentai Dekaranger/Power Rangers S.P.D. generally use giant robots and Mashin Sentai Kiramager uses Kaiju-like monsters with similar themes.
Giant monsters will also have vocal differences with recent Sentai monsters gaining deep and booming echoes, a good example being the Karo from Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. The enlarged monsters of recent PR seasons also have booming echoes but lack the deepness of their counterparts.

- It is explicitly mentioned that (at least to Toxica's knowledge) when Orgs become giant they can no longer return to smaller size, essentially making enlargement a last resort. However, this is countered by Retinax returning to normal size, which Toxica is not aware of; it is likely that Duke Orgs are able to return to normal size unlike standard Orgs.

Some contestants request to be Gigantified without being destroyed but the audience's approval is still required (except in a few cases where the villains demand it without waiting). If the audience rejects the monster's chance to be Gigantified or the Gigantified monsters require backup, Cosmo presses the red button to release Skullgators which are giant by default. Occasionally, a Gigantified monster retreats and teleports back to the Warrior Dome, shrinking to human size in the process. When an unusually small monster is Gigantified, he ends up the same size as other Gigantified monsters, implying that Gigantification always makes its target the same size no matter how big they were initially.
