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.

Themes and Motifs

  • The main theme for Seijuu Sentai Gingaman uses various motifs of classical elements; such as pirates (for the main antagonists), horsemen, legendary elements (knights, warriors, etc) and elements found in the older Sentai shows from the '70's to '80's.
  • When you see the Gingamen on their horses, this is a sign and concept of horsemanship.

Episodes

Main article: Seijuu Sentai Gingaman Episodes

While only the second Sentai to use an episode count after Ohranger, this is the first to use a special nomenclature for the episodes, in this case having them called "Chapters". 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

  • While this isn't the first Sentai series to have a Power-up Transformation, it was the first to have said Power-up that lasted throughout the series, the Beast Armor Shine. The first was Megaranger with the Mega Tector, although it was only used for Denji Sentai Megaranger vs. Carranger.
  • Gingaman is the second Sentai team to have their team-up with their predecessors take place after the end of their own series. The first being J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai.
  • Gingaman is not only the first Sentai season since Jetman to feature "-man" in the title, but also the last one to do so.
    • Thus, this makes Gingaman the only "-man" titled series to be adapted into Power Rangers; as Jetman was a series before the first adaptation.
  • Gingaman begins a stretch of Sentai where the three main colors (Red, Blue, Yellow) are all male, which lasts through Gaoranger to a count of four. This is the longest run of male Sentai in these positions since the four series stretch from Denziman through Dynaman.
  • 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 would be competing badly and they changed the name of the series. Gaoranger would ultimately be the name of the 2001 Sentai and would feature a homage to GaoGaiGar in the form of GaoKing. Also, it was at one point going to be called Seijuu Sentai Bioranger, though this was scrapped due to it sounding too similiar to Bioman.[2]
  • Gingaman is also the second team to feature predecessors and successors to the current team, the first being Dairanger.
  • This is also the first Super Sentai series to change the episode title from Ep to Chapter.
  • This is also the first season since Ninja Sentai Kakuranger where the three main colors (Red, Blue and Yellow) are all male.
  • This is the first season since Gekisou Sentai Carranger to feature the original Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Pink main team formation.
  • In the English version of the opening theme, the series name is translated as Galactic Warriors Gingaman.
