Plot[]

Hundred Beast Squadron Growl Rangers

The Gaorangers and their Power Animals

"Do you all know? This is the beautiful blue Earth that we all live upon. Many dangerous, dark beings have tried to destroy it's beauty. But don't worry, The Earth has courageous warriors that stand up to evil. Their passionate souls have protected this planet's beauty. Five people have inherited the souls of these warriors and continued the fight..."
―Narrator[src]

One thousand years ago, a war raged between humans and the demonic Org race. With the help of the Power Animals, the ancient Gao Warriors were able to defeat the Org's leader, Hyakkimaru, and seal the Orgs.

Today, the Orgs have begun to revive, and five warriors have been chosen by the Power Animals. They must abandon their current lives and become the new generation of Gaorangers to protect the life of Earth.

Notes[]

Super Sentai Anniversary Logo

This Super Sentai series is the first official anniversary series, celebrated the franchise's 25th Anniversary in 2001.

  • Gaoranger is notable for introducing the concept of 'auxiliary mecha', which were additional individual mecha which could combine with the main robot(s) to form new combinations or weapons. Auxiliary mecha would become a staple of Sentai after Gaoranger.
  • GaoSilver is the first sixth ranger whose actor is specifically credited in the opening credits in his own slot, (ex. MegaSilver's actor had been lightly credited in the episodes he appeared in but was not given his own slot like the others) starting with Quest 28, as well as being the first sixth ranger to appear in the theatrical Super Sentai movie, Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger: The Fire Mountain Roars.
  • This is the first Sentai series where the entire team have cellphone transformation devices.
  • This is the first Sentai to join forces with members from various past Super Sentai teams instead of with the previous team for their team-up special, Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.
  • Despite having already dubbed Power Rangers: Wild Force, a Korean dub of Gaoranger called Power Rangers Jungle Force (파워레인저 정글포스 pawoleinjeo jeong-geulposeu) was shown in South Korea instead of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.
  • This is the first series where the five core members died and later were revived.
  • Hyakujū (百獣) is a Japanese phrase that translates to "all kinds of animals", but it also literally translates as "hundred animals". In the context of Gaoranger, the latter translation is intended.
  • Gao (ガオ) is Japanese onomatopoeia equivalent to a roaring sound. The Gaoranger roll call uses the kanji for "fang" (牙 kiba) and "howl" (吠 hoe) which are read together as "Gao" (牙吠).
  • This is the very first season to get released on DVD.
  • This is the first series having a "long roll call" of each Ranger, instead of a simple name declaration.
  • Gaoranger did not have a team up with the preceding season, Mirai Sentai Timeranger. However, it had one with the following season, Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger.
