Plot[]

"The Starbeasts: They are mysterious animals who fight for the sake of defending harmony in the Milky Way!"
―Narrator[src]

3,000 years ago, the Balban space pirates invaded Earth. The Starbeasts and the first Gingaman, warriors of the Ginga Forest, fought them with the mystical power called Earth and eventually were able to imprison them. Subsequently, the Ginga people cloaked their forest within boundaries and passed on the duty of Ginga warriors through generations.

Hyuuga, Hayate, Gouki, Hikaru and Saya are chosen as the 133rd generation of warriors of the Starbeast Swords. Ryouma is very happy that his elder brother Hyuuga succeeds to the honorable title. While Elder Orghi holds the succession ceremony of the Starbeast Swords, an earthquake breaks the seal of Balban.

Orghi orders the 133rd generation of warriors to get the GingaBraces hidden in Roaring Mountain. However, the Balban attacks them to prevent the birth of the new Gingaman. During the battle, Hyuuga gets shallowed into a crack in the ground which Captain Zahab of the Balban created. Becoming enraged, Ryouma activates his Earth power and awakens the GingaBraces. The Gingaman fight together with the Starbeasts against the Balban, who desire to revive the Demon Beast Daitanix, on whose "corpse" they built their castle.

From this series, all Sentai, including those without nomenclatures for episode names, will have an episode count as part of their name.

All episode titles are a combination of two nouns in Japanese, connected by the Japanese character "no", where the first noun affects the second in the title.

Notes[]

  • Gingaman is the final Sentai season to air alongside a Metal Heroes series in the Super Hero Time block as the next year the Metal Heroes’ timeslot was given to Moero!! Robocon and then in 2000 to Kamen Rider Kuuga in which the timeslot has stayed ever since until October of 2017 where Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger and Kamen Rider Build changed timeslots after the Metele portion of the Sunday Morning Kids Time was taken off and replaced with Sunday Live, after Pretty Cure was moved from immediately after Rider (now, Sentai) to before the Super Hero Time block begins.
  • Gingaman is the last Sentai season to feature "-man" in the title.
  • Originally, Gingaman was planned to be called Seijuu Sentai Gaoranger. However, due to animation company Sunrise releasing Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar at the same time, Toei felt that they could be sued for the similar name and premise; therefore, the name of the series changed. Gaoranger would ultimately be the name of the 2001 Sentai and would feature a homage to GaoGaiGar in the form of GaoKing.
    • It was also at one point going to be called Seijuu Sentai Bioranger, though this was scrapped due to it sounding too similar to Bioman.[3]
  • This is the first Super Sentai series to change the episode title from Ep to Chapter.
  • In the English version of the opening theme, the series name is translated as Galactic Warriors Gingaman.
