Notes
- The basis of this season connects to the number "99" in multiple ways:
- A reading of "99" is "Kyuukyuu", which is Japanese for "first-aid" and generally used at the start of many terms connected to rescue and emergency matters.
- The year of the return of Grandiene was 1999, a possible year predicted by many as the year of the end of the world. (which was also a basis for previous Sentai Chouriki Sentai Ohranger)
- The sentai series was released in Japan in 1999.
- A possible connection may tie to the works of British television creator Gerry Anderson and two of his most famous works: Thunderbirds (a puppet series about a family of rescuers, particularly centering around five siblings who work under their father) and Space: 1999 (a live action science fiction series that begins in the year 1999).
- Grandiene's creation four billion years prior to the start of the series marks the earliest event in the Super Sentai Timeline.
- GoGoFive is currently the last Sentai series not to add any additional rangers in the main series, as Demon Hunter Zeek and Zeek-Jeane are movie exclusive.
- Go is 5 in Japanese, thus making the GoGoFive part of the Sentai team name an homage to Gorenger. The others that would follow this trend are Goseiger, Gokaiger and Go-Busters, This season was was preceded by Gosei Sentai Dairanger in that regard.
- This is also the last season until Ressha Sentai ToQger where the Rangers suits have white gloves and boots as part of their uniforms.
- Actor Joe Odagiri had auditioned for a role in this show, but failed to land one. He would later go on to portray the lead role of Kamen Rider Kuuga, Yusuke Godai.
- Shou/GoGreen's actor Atsushi Harada, would go on to portray Shuji Mihara/Kamen Rider Delta in 2003's Kamen Rider 555. Years later, Nagara/GoBlue's actor, Masashi Taniguchi, portrayed Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha in 2016's Kamen Rider Amazons.
