History Series / JukenSentaiGekiranger

Like most modern Super Sentai series, ''Gekiranger'' was adapted into a ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' season, titled ''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury''.

** During the crossover with ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'', the Tortoise-ken user Meka pulls himself into his shell and flies by [[Franchise/{{Gamera}} shooting flames out of the limb holes]].

** Bat Li [[note]]Jet Li[[/note]] (Geki Ju Bat-ken). A mystical dancer. Voied by Creator/ShuichiIkeda.

* SixthRanger: Gou and Ken, who are actually the fourth and fifth members of Gekiranger respectively. [[spoiler:Rio and Mele effectively become [[SixthRanger extra ranger]]s when they [[HeelFaceTurn switch sides]].]]

--> '''Ran''': "With daily purification, polishing the heart! ''[[WhatKindOfLamePowerisHeartAnyway Honest Heart]]'', [=GekiYellow=]!"

** The [[QuirkyMinibossSquad not so quirky miniboss squad]] the Five Venom Fists are a reference to the "Five Deadly Venoms."

** A ShoutOut to previous Sentai: Rio being mainly black-colored, learning Gryphon-ken, and later gets counted as a ranger (unofficially) whereas in ''Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman'', we have a Black Ranger called Change Gryphon...

** At one point, Geki Yellow performs [[FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Zankai Ken]] on an unfortunate MonsterOfTheWeek, complete with the beast apparently exploding.

* Ken Hisatsu / '''[=GekiChopper=]''' (Geki Ju Rhinoceros-ken[[note]]Karate[[/note]]): A lazy genius sent to study [=Juken=] at the sacred grounds, but ended up goofing off. [[CloudCuckoolander A bit of a scatterbrain]], but [[AlmightyJanitor don't let that fool you]]. He has his own weapon [[BifurcatedWeapon for melee ''and'' ranged combat]]. [[KidAppealCharacter Complains constantly]].

* SixthRanger: Gou and Ken, who are actually the fourth and fifth members of Gekiranger respectively. [[spoiler:Rio and Mele effectively become [[{{Sixth Ranger}} extra ranger]]s when they [[{{Heel Face Turn}} switch sides]].]]

* ChosenOne: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] with Jan and Rio. [[spoiler:When Jan learns that his father declared that he would avenge his defeat at Rio's hands, he collapses under the pressure. Rio has a similar reaction upon learning that Long had been manipulating the entire course of his life, and ultimately both reject their fates.]]

* [[DontThinkFeel Don't Think; Feel]]: The motto of [[spoiler:Brusa Ee]], founder of Juken.

* {{Expy}}: Gekitohja and Geki Fire are bestial versions of [[Anime/GodSigma God Sigma]].
** Ken is [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Marshall Law]] and [[SuperMarioBros Luigi]] combined.

* FountainOfYouth: An [=MoTD's=] technique turned Jan into a kid and Retsu into a baby. It leads to a MamaBear moment for Ran, and to a ShoutOut to FistOfTheNorthStar.

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Miki does this to all three of the PowerTrio after Rio pounds them and takes Shafu hostage. [[spoiler:Jan does it to Rio after they learn the truth about Long]].

* LanguageBarrier: In episode 43 (the Christmas special), Ken meets an English-speaking boy named Carl who he thinks is sad because he's poor on Christmas, but is actually sad because [[spoiler:his mother died on Christmas]]. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity ensues]] as Ken continually misunderstands the boy throughout the episode.

** Ken's escapades eventually lead to Miki [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish translating for the boy.]]

** [[strike:Most of]] The Rin Ju Den Kenshi, save Rio and Mele, have names based on the Japanese for their theme animal, but with the first Kana moved to the end[[note]]Rin Ju Mantis-Ken - Makirika: "''Kamakiri''"/"Praying Mantis"; Rin Ju Jelly-Ken - Rageku: "''Kurage''"/"Jellyfish"[[/note]].

** All of the GekiJyuKen masters' names are puns on famous Martial Arts movie stars.

* OddlyNamedSequel: Up until Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger, this was the last series to have "ranger" in its title unabbreviated. All of the intervening series use the short form, "-ger"[[note]][-Except for Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters, but that doesn't have ''any'' form of the word "ranger" in its title-][[/note]].

* WhamEpisode: Training 40. After three relatively-lighthearted episodes spotlighting most of the characters' relationships with their families, all of which ended well, we get this episode. [[spoiler:Jan finds out who his father is and what became of him. It's not pretty. At all. Jan has a HeroicBSOD. Gou flips out too, since Jan's father was a friend of his. Rio and crew hand the Gekirangers their asses in a CurbstompBattle before issuing a challenge to Jan. Then the episode ends.]]

* ThreePlusTwo

** Rio and Mele take ''another'' level in badass [[spoiler:when they join up with Long and swap their Rinki for Genki]].
*** [[spoiler:Alternatively, the real level in badass might be when they [[ScrewDestiny give up their Genki]] instead.]]

* MakingUseOfTheTwin: An episode features an EvilTwin of Retsu, played by Takagi Manpei's identical twin brother.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Rio and Mele.]]

* ShirtlessScene: Jan through most of episode 1.
