Hyakujuu Sentai GaoRanger (百獣戦隊ガオレンジャー Hyakujū Sentai Gaorenjā), translated as 100 Beast Squadron GaoRanger (gao is Japanese onomatopoeia equivalent to a roaring sound, yet the Gaoranger roll call uses the kanji 牙吠, which mean "fang" and "howl", respectively), was TOEI Company Limited's 25th production of the Super Sentai television series. Its footage was used in [[Power Rangers: Wild Force]].

Plot

1,000 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 Highness Grand Duke, Hyakumaru, 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.

Characters

Gaorangers

"Blazing Lion~GaoRed!
Noble Eagle~GaoYellow!
Surging Shark~GaoBlue!
Iron Bison~GaoBlack!
Belle Tiger~GaoWhite!
Sparking Silver Wolf~GaoSilver!
Where there is life, there is a roar of justice! 100 Beast Squadron Gaoranger!"

Throughout the series, the Gaorangers refer to each other by their designated color rather than name. It's not until the final episode where they finally fully introduce themselves. This carried over to Hurricanger Vs. Gaoranger where the Gaorangers refer to each other by their true names. Colors: Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, White, Silver.

• Kakeru Shishi (獅子走 Shishi Kakeru)/GaoRed (ガオレッド Gaoreddo): Nickname, "Blazing Lion" (灼熱の獅子 Shakunetsu no Shishi). 24 year old veterinarian. He was chosen by GaoLion to be the leader and he was the fifth member to join. He wants to protect all life on earth and he loves animals, especially his Golden Retriever "Choco". When he closes his eyes, Kakeru has the empathic ability to understand animals and communicate with them. He thought he could do the same with Orgs, but discovered he couldn't since they were without souls. Two of his common sayings are "I am a veterinarian" and "I'm full of motivation!" He is in charge of forming the upper body in the Gaorangers' mecha formations. After the final battle, he returned to his former job at the Cherry Blossoms Animal Hospital.

• Gaku Washio (鷲尾岳 Washio Gaku)/GaoYellow (ガオイエロー Gaoierō): Nickname, "Noble Eagle" (孤高の荒鷲 Kokō no Arawashi). 23 year old former Self Defense Force pilot. He was the first Gaoranger to be chosen and worked a year alone with only Tetomu. Tetomu recruited him during a flight mission, and he became missing in action. Because of this, he bleached his hair to become less recognizable. As a pilot, he is good at skydiving and English and his hobby is playing the ukulele. At first, Gaku was very humorless, he was upset that Kakeru has been chosen as leader instead of him. As time went on, Gaku opened up, and became especially close to Kakeru, often teasing him good naturedly. Gaku is the one who insisted that the Gaorangers refer to each other by color and not use their personal names. Being his Power Animal a bird, Gaku refuses to eat bird meat (he seems to be the only one to have this tendency; neither Soutarou nor Kai have shown any problem eating cow meat and fish, respectively). He is in charge of forming any leftover parts for the Gaorangers' mecha formations. After the final battle, he returned to the Air Force and his natural hair color.

• Kai Samezu (鮫津海 Samezu Kai)/Gao Blue (ガオブルー Gaoburū): Nickname, "Surging Shark" (怒涛の鮫 Dotō no Same). 19 year old who worked various part-time jobs, such as pizza delivery and a clerk in a bowling alley. He was chosen as a Gaoranger around the same time as Sae. He is a very energetic and playful guy, but he hates being treated as a child. He is skilled at bowling and studied under a professional bowler, Don Katayama. His motto is "Never give up!" which he frequently uses to encourage Soutarou. He is in charge of forming the right arm for the Gaorangers' mecha formations. After the final battle, he became a clerk in a surf shop.

• Soutarou Ushigome (牛込草太郎 Ushigome Sōtarō)/GaoBlack (ガオブラック GaoBurakku): Nickname, "Iron Bison" (鋼の猛牛 Hagane no Mōgyū). 22 year old retired sumo wrestler. He was chosen as a Gaoranger about a month before Kakeru. He aspired to become a grand champion sumo wrestler, but a knee injury forced him to retire from his wrestling career. Afterwards, he worked as an assistant at Flower Garden Casablanca with his crush, Shi-chan. Though he is the strongest out of the Gaorangers, he is a very gentle soul with a fear of heights and a weakness for women. He is in charge of forming the lower body for the Gaorangers' mecha formations. After the final battle, he and Shi-chan worked together on a ranch.

• Sae Taiga (大河冴 Taiga Sae)/GaoWhite (ガオホワイト Gaohowaito): Nickname, "Belle Tiger" (麗しの白虎 Urawashi no Byakko). 17 year old martial arts student. She was chosen as a Gaoranger around the same time as Kai. She is incredibly level-headed. Her father runs a dojo in Kagoshima and taught her various combat techniques. Against his will, she moved to Tokyo and enrolled in a special martial arts institution to further improve her skills. She worries about the rest of the team, though she is sometimes belittled by them since she is the only female on the team. She yearns for a prince that rides on a white horse and carries a bouquet of roses. Unlike most Super Sentai heroines, she had never changed her clothing in the blink of an eye until she met up with Miku Imamura/MegaPink. She is in charge of forming the left arm for the Gaorangers' mecha formations. After the final battle, she continued her martial arts training.

• Shirogane/GaoSilver (ガオシルバー Gaoshirubā): Nickname, "Sparking Silver Wolf" (閃烈の銀狼 Senretsu no Ginrō). 1,062 year old Gao Warrior from the Heian period. 1,000 years ago, Gao God was defeated by the particularly dangerous Grand Duke Hyakumaru, a fusion of 100 Orgs. In desperation, Shirogane donned the cursed mask of Loki, which gave him the extra power they'd need to defeat the mighty Org. He got three magical Power Animals (Wolf, Alligator and Hammerhead Shark) and combine them with his own companion. Despite frantic warning from their priestess, Murasaki, that the mask would possess him, he did it. He lasted long enough to defeat the Org. Then the mask transformed him into Loki. He begged his former companions to stop him while he still had a vestige of control. He was released by Ura centires later to destroy the present day Gaorangers of present-time. But once freed of the mask, he became GaoSilver & helped in any way he could. He also adopted a modern name for himself, Tsukumaro Oogami (大神月麿 Ōgami Tsukumaro). After the final battle, he traveled across the nation. He was the only Gaoranger who was not present in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai as the movie was set before he was introduced.

However at one point he took the Power Animals (Except for GaoSilver's) away from the Gaorangers, deeming that humanity does not deserve their help because humans are wasteful creatures and only pollute the earth.

Power Animals

Each of the Gaorangers possess a Totem Power Animal to whom their powers are based. They also possess additional Power Animals as well. They are fully sentient physical manifestations of the planet's life energy and look metallic in their appearance due to the absorption of metals during their creation from the elements of the Earth. Each Power Animal possesses a Jewel of Gao that it entrusts the Gaoranger it is bounded with. The central five Power Animals are younger than most of the others. Although there are numerous Power Animal Combinations, what is listed here in this section is the combinations that appeared in the show, the movies, and a few other sources. A list of all 100 Power Animals and design sketches for combinations which didn't appear in the show was included as part of an art book showing renderings of all Super Sentai mecha up through Hurricanger. All 100 Power Animals appear in the last episode, but all of those that weren't seen before appear only as colorful spheres.

• GaoKing Sword and Shield: Combination of GaoKing and GaoElephant. It’s finishing move is Evil Crusher.
• * GaoKing: Combination of the five main Gaoranger's Totem Power Animals. It's finishing attack is called Animal Heart which is an energy blast fired from the mouths of the component Power Animals. It is upgraded to Super Animal Heart when they acquire the Soul Bird.
• ** GaoLion: GaoRed's Totem Power Animal. Becomes GaoKing's Upper Torso or GaoKentarus’s Lower Torso and Feet.
• ** GaoEagle: GaoYellow's Totem Power Animal. It can transform into GaoKing's head or become a waist for the GaoMuscle/GaoKnight Formations.
• ** GaoShark: GaoBlue's Totem Power Animal. Becomes a Right Arm Part. Its formation special attack is Shark Shot and it can also use its dorsal fin as a small knife-like weapon called the Fin Blade.
• ** GaoBison: GaoBlack's Totem Power Animal. Becomes GaoKing's, GaoMuscle's, and GaoKnight's Lower Torso and Feet. It's formation special attack is called Bison Kick.
• ** GaoTiger: GaoWhite's Totem Power Animal. Becomes a Left Arm Part. It's formation special attack is called Tiger Burn, a punch attack that is usually used alongside GaoShark's attack.
• * GaoElephant: One of GaoWhite's additional Power Animals, its jewel was found with a scroll in a temple. GaoElephant rested within a cave until it was awoken. GaoElephant can transform into a sword and shield weapon that can only be wielded by GaoShark and GaoTiger.

• GaoMuscle: Combination of GaoGorilla, GaoBear, GaoPolar, GaoBison & GaoEagle. It wields an anchor and chain, called the Muscle Anchor. Its two finishing moves are Muscle Lariat, where it strikes with energized punches, and Bear Strike, where a blast is fired from the mouths of GaoBear and GaoPolar.
• * GaoGorilla: One of GaoRed's additional Power Animals. Becomes GaoMuscle’s Upper Torso and Head. Its special attack is Banana Bomb, where it throws explosive bananas at the enemy. It is awakened by a woman the Gaorangers befriend when they unknowably travel back in time during their journey to find the shining mushroom.
• * GaoBear & GaoPolar: GaoYellow's additional Power Animals who originally appeared as mysterious twin boys in black and white outfits. GaoBear uses the power of fire and GaoPolar uses the power of ice. GaoBear transforms into a left arm part and GaoPolar transforms into a right arm part. When added to a combination, Double Knuckle to that formation's name, or only Knuckle if only one is added. Their specialty move is Bear Strike, where they can bombard the Org with beams of Fire and Ice. They didn't initially accept GaoLion, and GaoLion was injured because of that.
• Soul Bird: A special creature that can increase the power of the Gaoranger's Power Animal combinations, excluding GaoHunter. Originally the shining mushroom, it transformed into an egg which then hatched into a small blue bird that GaoRed named Pyo. In episode 14, Pyo evolved into the Soul Bird in order to help the Gaorangers defeat Shuten. Since then the Soul Bird has been used as the cockpit in the formations. When used with GaoKing, Animal Heart is upgraded to Super Animal Heart. This is where the blast attack is not only shot from the Power Animal's mouths, but from a cannon inside the Soul Bird as well. In the Gaoranger Vs. Super Sentai Movie, Super Animal Heart was enhanced by the power from the giant robots of the previous Sentai teams during the battle against Rakushaasa. In episode 27, when Vase Org transported GaoKing and GaoHunter into another dimension, a feather from Pyo escaped and became You, an evil, red-eyed version of Pyo. But eventually, Tetomu convinced You to help the Gaorangers and become the Soul Bird and GaoMuscle Striker is formed for the first time. After the Vase Org was defeated, the two Soul Birds became one again. In the official Toy lines it can become a Left Arm Part as well.

• GaoHunter: Combination of GaoSilver's Power Animals. It is armed with the Crescent Boomerang and Ligator Blade, which can perform the Crescent Moon Cut. Its finishing moves are Beast Hurricane, a blast attack from GaoLigator's mouth, similar to GaoKing's Animal Heart, and Revolver Phantom, where it dashes into its opponent with a spinning Ligator Blade. While under the control of Loki, it was cursed and the Power Animals were referred to as Demon Beasts. But after the curse was broken, the Org horn on its head dissolved and it regained its true face, so GaoSilver decided to rename it to GaoHunter Justice. After GaoGod took away the other Gaorangers Power Animals, GaoHunter had to battle alone against Tinplate Org. But with the energy that the other Gaorangers drew in from their Totem Power Animals, GaoHunter was temporarily powered up into GaoHunter Blue Moon. As Blue Moon, "Blue" replaces parts of the attack names, and its finishing move is Blue Moon Heart.
• * GaoWolf: GaoSilver's Totem Power Animal. Acts as a Left Arm part. Its special attack is Wolf Attack. It can also combine with other mecha when the GaoHunter formation is not possible, adding the name Another Arm.
• * GaoHammerhead: One of GaoSilver's additional Power Animals. Acts as a Right Arm part. Its special attack is Hammer Shot. Like GaoWolf it can also combine with another mecha if the GaoHunter Formation is not possible.
• * GaoLigator: One of GaoSilver's additional Power Animals. It becomes GaoHunter’s main body and feet. Its tail becomes the Ligator Blade weapon for GaoHunter.

• GaoGod: The God of all Power Animals. Tetomu refers to it as Arakami-sama (Wild God). It's attacks are Power Arrow, where GaoGod shoots its sword like an arrow, and Wild God Sword. It was used by the ancient Gaorangers and was made from older versions of the current Gaorangers’ Totem Power Animals. He was killed 1,000 years ago by the Grand Duke Hyakumaru, which forced Shirogane to don the cursed mask. Later on he appeared in spirit form to help the Gaorangers restore Shirogane to normal, including temporarily eclipsing the full moon which caused Loki to temporarily revert back to Shirogane. He was later revived as the human boy Futaro. In the Gaoranger Movie, GaoSilver piloted GaoGod during battle.
• * GaoLeon: Forms the torso. Black version of GaoLion.
• * GaoCondor: Forms the head. Blue bird similar to GaoEagle. The parts on its tail that become the horns on GaoGod's helmet are used as the bow for the Power Arrow.
• * GaoSawshark: Forms the right arm. Red shark with a saw bill that is used as GaoGod’s sword.
• * GaoBuffalo: Forms the legs. Similar to GaoBison.
• * GaoJaguar: Forms the left arm. Similiar to GaoTiger.

• GaoKnight: This and GaoKong are exclusive only to the Gaoranger Movie. It is the combination of GaoKong, GaoEagle, GaoShark, GaoTiger, GaoBison, and GaoElephant along with Soul Bird. Its finishing move is Big Burn Final.
• * GaoKong: Red version of GaoGorilla.

• GaoIkarus: Combination of GaoFalcon, GaoGiraffe, GaoDias, GaoRhinos, and GaoMajiro. By using GaoFalcon's wings, it can fly or use them as a shield, called Defense Mode. Some of its techniques are Ikarus Bind, where the eyes on GaoFalcon’s wings can bind an Org in place, and its finishing move is Ikarus Dynamite, which is an enhanced version of Rhino Shoot that is performed as a flip kick from midair. Once when all the other Power Animals but GaoFalcon that make up GaoIkarus were badly damaged from Steam Engine Org, GaoFalcon fused with GaoWolf, GaoHammerhead, and GaoBison to create GaoIkarus Another Foot and Arm. Its finishing move is called Ikarus Breaker. Although for some reason GaoIkarus Another Foot and Arm could use GaoHunter’s Ligator Blade even though GaoLigator was not part of the combination.
• * GaoFalcon: One of GaoRed's additional Power Animals. Becomes GaoIkarus or GaoKentarus’s Upper Torso and Head. After the Grand Duke Ura killed all the Gaorangers except for GaoRed and GaoSilver, the other Gaorangers in the afterlife were able to put a puzzle together that not only awakened GaoFalcon's power but it also returned them to life.
• * GaoGiraffe: GaoBlue's Additional Power Animal. It was originally in the form of a crane and sent dreams to GaoBlue where GaoKing was no match for Boat Org. During the GaoKing battle Tetomu realizes that a Power Animal was calling to him. So GaoBlue calls out to the Power Animal and the crane GaoBlue used earlier during their fight against Boat Org revealed its true form as GaoGiraffe. Can transform into a right arm part where it becomes a spear, It adds the word Spear to that mecha's name when used with the GaoKing, GaoHunter, or GaoMuscle formations. Its finishing move is Neck Thrust.
• * GaoRhinos & GaoMajiro: GaoBlack's additional Power Animals. They were summoned by GaoBison to help against Loki after it was badly damaged from Lawnmower Org. GaoMajiro originally appeared in a miniaturized form when it gave their jewels to GaoBlack. The two often replace GaoBison and GaoEagle as legs for GaoKing and GaoMuscle, adding the word Striker to the combinations‘ names. Their special move is Rhino Shoot, where GaoRhinos kicks GaoMajiro at its opponent like a soccer ball. GaoMajiro was once used by GaoKing Another Arm as a bowling ball in order to counter Bowling Org's bowling ball.
• * GaoDias: One of GaoWhite's Additional Power Animals. It has healing powers, called Dias Healing, and transforms into a left arm part where its antlers are used as a weapon. When used with GaoKing or GaoMuscle, it adds the word Cross Horn to that formation’s name. In the past, Shirogane and Murasaki used to play music for it. But after Murasaki's throat was injured by some Orgettes, it became angry at Shirogane for failing to protect Murasaki and left. With some help from Tetomu, GaoSilver was able to play for GaoDias once again and it gave Tetomu its jewel. Afterwards, Tetomu gave its jewel to GaoWhite. Its special move is Bubble Capture, and its finishing move is Horn Crash.
• GaoKentarus: Combination of GaoFalcon, GaoShark, GaoTiger, GaoElephant, and a giant GaoLion. When Dorodoro trapped the Gaorangers in hell where the spirits of the previous fallen Orgs were, they were unable to summon their Power Animals when Dorodoro became giant. At that time, Tetomu was Rasetsu's prisoner who wanted her to cook for him. But Tetomu was then rescued by the Power Animals. Remembering how the Gaoranger loved her cooking she casts a spell on a piece of food and sends it into GaoLion's mouth causing it to grow several kilometers. GaoKentarus then saved the Gaorangers from Dorodoro. GaoKentarus was also used to finish off Rasetsu in the following battle. Its finishing move is called Dance of the Beast King.

• Gao Panda: Exclusive only to the Gao Access CD.

• GaoCracker: It is where GaoShark and GaoTiger could replace GaoBear and GaoPolar in the GaoMuscle Formation that would create GaoCracker. Although there was an official picture, it never appeared on the show.

Ogre Tribe Org (鬼族オルグ Onizoku Orugu)

A race of Oni born from the sadness and madness of humans. They often take the forms of idols deep within an underground cavern known as the Matrix.

• Org Master: Within the cavern is the Org Master, a stone face worshipped by the Orgs due to its power to create new Orgs. It was soon revealed in the finale that the Org Master was a figurehead, only symbolic of power within the Grand Duke Orgs.

• Grand Duke Orgs: The Grand Dukes are the rulers of the Orgs, using the Org Master which gives life as a figurehead. One by one, a Grand Duke awakens only to be killed by the Gaorangers.
• * Highness Grand Duke Hyakumaru (23, flasback): This Grand Duke Org is what destroyed GaoGod 1,000 years ago, but he was killed by GaoHunter, powered by Loki's evil energy. As by its name, Hyakumaru was created by many Orgs joining into a single form.

• * Hell's Grand Duke Senki (50-51): In the finale, the three Grand Dukes were resurrected and then merged into Senki, fulfilling the prophecy of the "Last Org Advent". Stronger than his three components, he overpowered the Gaorangers, destroyed all the Power Animals, and bringing the Animarium down. He attacked the city, but the Power Animals were all revived and countless others arrived to help. All the Power Animals were able to destroy Senki's physical body, while the six Gaoranger contributed their energy to the Hyakujuuken and used it to destroy Senki's heart so he could not revive himself. The Grand Dukes' combined weapon, which is also Senki's default weapon, is the Shurahyakkiken (Carnage-All Demon Blade). This weapon is the Grand Dukes' own version of the Gaoranger's Hyakujuuken, which is a combination of Shuten's axe, Ura's fan, and Rasetsu's knife.
• ** Grand Duke Shuten (1-14, 47-49): The first of the Grand Dukes to be awaken, this multi-eyed Org wanted to take over the world. Short-tempered, he wields an axe & can stretch his arms. Shuten was killed by Ura, who drained and absorbed all his power after losing in battle against GaoMuscle & GaoKing. Shuten was later resurrected in the series finale to be fused with the others to become Senki.
• ** Grand Duke Ura (14-24, 26-31, 47-49): The 2nd Grand Duke to be awaken, with a nose-like face & ear-like projections on his back. Obsessed with collecting beautiful things, he was the one who woke Loki. He used a magic mirror to see things at a distance & carried a fan as his weapon. Through Loki, Ura gained the four Power Animal orbs used them to create Chimera Org. However, the Org is beaten by the newly transformed GaoSilver, who also takes out Ura. Ura's crown is then used by Tsustsue to become the Grand Duke Onihime. But Ura regenerated himself from his crown and captured GaoSilver to have him reabsorb the power of 1000 years' rage (Loki's energy). However after GaoSilver rejected it, Ura was able to absorb it to evolve in a more powerful form, Ultimate Form Ura, which was his actual plan. However, Ura was regressed by GaoIkarus and killed by Gaorangers. Ura was later resurrected in the series finale to be fused with the others to become Senki.
• ** Grand Duke Rasetsu (32-44, 47-49): The Final Grand Duke to be awakened, a mass of mouths with both male & female voices. He was ravenous with an appetite for anything in its reach, and used a knife and fork as his weapons. He treated the Duke Orgs like dirt, painfully transferring their powers to certain Orgs. Rasetsu died at the hands of the Power Animals, first by using GaoMuscle and GaoHunter Justice to weaken him, and then finishing him off with GaoKentarus. Rasetsu was later resurrected in the series finale to be fused with the others to become Senki.

• * Hagura Highness Rakushaasa (Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai): A hairy Org whose power was so immense that it damaged his horn and sent him into a coma. He needed the fighting spirit of strong-willed warriors to awaken him and heal his horn. He took the fighting spirit of Gaku, Kai, and Soutarou (and almost Sae). It took the combined force of all previous Sentai to destroy him. Defeated by the Hyakujuuken, then again by the mecha of all of the Red Warriors, and finally killed by the Gaoranger Storm. He was the only Grand Duke not to be revived in the series' finale.

• Duke Orgs
• * Duchess Org Tsuetsue (1-42, 47-Hurricanger vs. Gaoranger): An arrogant Org priestess whose magic is great. She developed an instant hatred of GaoWhite for calling her "Grandma". She uses the Org Seeds fired from her staff to revive and enlarge Orgs. When Ura was seemingly dead, she temporarily used his crown to become the Grand Duke Onihime. She and Yabaiba later received upgraded forms from Ura, Tsuetsue became Armored Tsuetsue, which lasted until he was killed for good. Tsuetsue later died when the Duke Org Dorodoro tricked her into removing her horn when she was sent to capture Tetomu, and then was used by Rasetsu as a shield from the Hyakujuuken. But she was soon revived when Yabaiba energized Tsuetsue's severed horn with the Hyakujuuken's power, and used it as a fishing lure to bring her back from hell. Afterwards, she was even more insane and driven for their one purpose, serving the Grand Dukes. As she was pulled out of hell, she carried the three Grand Dukes with her, which then rewarded her loyalty with a new staff. She then created the Org Heart that fused the Grand Dukes into Senki. After surviving the cave-in of their base, TsueTsue & Yabaiba teamed up with the Jakenja in Hurricanger vs. Gaoranger. They were finally defeated by the two teams.

• * Duke Org Yabaiba: A crazed master of knives who claimed himself to GaoYellow's greatest rival (Though the feeling wasn't mutual). When Ura gave Tsuetsue and Yabaiba upgraded forms, Yabaiba became Armored Yabaiba. Yabaiba fell in love with Tsuetsue over the course of the series. Though he began to question the intention of their masters', he followed Tsuetsue out of love. After surviving the cave-in of their base, Yabaiba & Tsuetsue teamed up with the Jakenja in Hurricanger vs. Gaoranger. They were finally defeated by the two teams.

• * Duke Org Loki (狼鬼 Rouki) (15-23, 26, 30): Literally, "wolf demon." An Org who corrupted the Power Animals that form GaoHunter & was imprisoned within a cursed mask. When Shirogane put on an evil wolf mask & became Loki, their spirits became intertwined. Shirogane was freed from the curse when the Gaoranger used GaoKing Striker to force GaoHunter apart. However, it was after Shirogane was freed from the mask's curse that Loki was released from his imprisonment & he attempted to kill Silver for using him and his power. During the battle against Loki, Shirogane was reluctant to accept help from the other Gaorangers. But once he opened up, Shirogane managed to defeat Loki. Loki was eventually killed by GaoHunter Justice. But this was all part of Ura's plan to take Loki's energy. Shirogane later briefly became Loki again when the Org forced him to reabsorb Loki's energy, but was able to reject the power, unaware that it was all part of Ura's plan. He welds the Crescent Moon Blade (三日月剣 Mikazukiken) which can perform the Crescent Wave and Moonlight Sonic attacks.

• * Duke Org Dorodoro (42-43): A ninja Duke Org who appeared to aid Rasetsu. He succeeded in capturing Tetomu by using Tsuetsue. Dorodoro then used his ninja powers to create shadow-clones of the Gaorangers, called the Shade Rangers. An irate Yabaiba upset Dorodoro's plans by reflecting one of his blasts back at him, creating a clone that GaoRed destroyed. Yabaiba then revived and englarged him, and Dorodoro pulled the Rangers in another dimension. However, Dorodoro was finally destroyed with the formation of GaoKentarus.

• Shadow Squadron Shaderanger (Shadow Sentai Shaderanjaa) (43): Dorodoro used his ninja powers to create shadow-clones of the Gaorangers, whom they could not destroy without killing themselves in the process.
