Overview[]
GaoKing was first introduced in Episode 2 to fight against Wire Org. GaoKing is armed with the Fin Blade (フィンブレード Fin Burēdo) sword formed from GaoShark's tail, and can perform the Shark Shot (シャークショット Shāku Shotto) and Tiger Attack (タイガーアタック Taigā Atakku) punches with GaoShark and Tiger respectively and the Bison Kick (バイソンキック Baison Kikku), a powerful drop kick with GaoBison. Its finishing attack is the Heaven and Earth Roar: Animal Heart (天地轟鳴アニマルハート Tenchi Gōmei: Animaru Hāto), an energy wave fired from the mouths of the component Power Animals. After acquiring Soul Bird to heal an ailing GaoLion, the Animal Heart was upgraded to Heaven and Earth Roar: Super Animal Heart (天地轟鳴スーパーアニマルハート Tenchi Gōmei: Sūpā Animaru Hāto). where GaoBison, Shark, Tiger, and Eagle fire their energy beams to weaken the opponent before GaoLion finishes them off with an energy blast boosted by the Soul Bird's vulcan. When GaoBison was injured during the fight with Lawnmower Org, the Gaorangers made GaoKing do a handstand to perform an upside-down version called Heaven and Earth Reversal: Reverse Animal Heart (天地逆転リバースアニマルハート Tenchi Gyakuten: Ribāsu Animaru Hāto). GaoKing can also perform the Surging Flash: Surging Arrow (怒涛一閃サージングアロー Dotō Issen: Sājingu Arō) finisher where it hurls the Fin Blade like a spear to cleave an opponent in two.

History[]
Gaoranger[]
After Duchess Org Tsuetsue created the Org Heart that merged the three Highness Dukes' remains into Ultimate Org Senki, and after the other Power Animals were killed, GaoKing's components were able to assemble without the Gaorangers' assistance to protect the world from Senki but was easily overpowered and killed. Eventually GaoKing's components came back to life in the final battle.
Gokaiger[]
When GokaiOh and Gosei Great faced the Black Cross Colossus, the mecha of the first 33 Super Sentai, including GaoKing which possibly manifested from a toy version like DaiDenzin and the Variblune, appeared to back them up. When the Black Cross Colossus summoned several giant villains to oppose them, GaoKing fought alongside Ohranger Robo and ChangeRobo to destroy Buredoran of the Chupacabra. After all the giant villains were destroyed, all 35 mecha weakened Black Cross Colossus with a combined attack before GokaiOh combined with the Variblune to become Goren GokaiOh which destroyed the Black Cross Colossus with the Gokai Hurricane: Cassiopeia finisher. With the battle won, the 33 past Super Sentai mecha vanished.

- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement (toy)[src]
Through the powers of the Phantom Ranger Keys, the Gokaigers can re-create and summon the Greater Power of any Super Sentai team in existence. In Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie, the Phantom Ranger Keys reproduced the greater power of the Go-Busters, which allowed their respective mechas to transform to other previous Super Sentai mechas through Megazord keys. Ryuji and Yoko used their Megazord key to transform Tategami LiOh into Hyakuju Gattai GaoKing.
Notes[]
- GaoKing was the first Sentai mecha to use the gimmick of replacing one or more of its primary components with supplementary units, granting it access to new attacks and powers.
- Unused in the show, the core Power Animals had an alternative combined form that turns GaoBison into a wheel mobile platform that carried the other Power Animals. It technically did appear in the show, but only for a brief moment during GaoKing's transformation sequence.
- The toyline Shokugan Modeling Project produces a Gao Elephant toy wherein its hole, which was intended for display stand posing, can also be used as a combination plug to arm GaoKing with Gao Elephant as a replacement limb-style Hyakuju Buso instead of the usual Sword & Shield formation. The blog website confirms that this is partially inspired by the actual Soul Bird toy being able to do so as well despite being impossible in the series.[1]
