On May 14, 2018, it was announced that Shout! Factory had licensed Gaoranger for release in North America and it was released on December 18, 2018.[1] This is 11th Super Sentai to be released in North America on DVD in Region 1 format as Jetman was released before Gaoranger.

Plot

A millennia ago, humans fought a war against demon ogres known as the Orgs. With the help of the Power Animals, the ancient Gao Warriors were able to defeat the Orgs' leader Hyakkimaru, sealing the Orgs away along with one of their own. When the seal wanes, the Power Animals select a new generation of Gao Warriors to fight the freed Orgs and protect all life on Earth. The current Gao Warriors, the Gaorangers, are recruited to abandon their civilian lives and names while traveling to find the other Power Animals that were in hiding.

Characters

Gaorangers

Each of the Gaorangers' surnames either contain the kanji for their Power Animal (パワーアニマル, Pawā Animaru) ("lion" (獅子, shishi), "eagle" (, washi), "shark" (, same), "ox" (, ushi), "Oogami" (大神, Ōgami) from "wolf" (, ōkami) or resemble the name of their Power Animal "Taiga" (大河) from "tiger" (, tora).

GaoRed (ガオレッド, Gao Reddo)
Kakeru Shishi (獅子 走, Shishi Kakeru), the "Blazing Lion" (灼熱の獅子, Shakunetsu no Shishi), was a veterinarian before becoming chosen by GaoLion (ガオライオン, Gao Raion) to become GaoRed. He was the last chosen of the Gaorangers, but has an affinity for animals. His other Power Animals are GaoGorilla (ガオゴリラ, Gao Gorira) and GaoFalcon (ガオファルコン, Gao Farukon).
GaoYellow (ガオイエロー, Gao Ierō)
Gaku Washio (鷲尾 岳, Washio Gaku), the "Noble Eagle" (孤高の荒鷲, Kokō no Arawashi), was an airforce pilot before he was chosen first by GaoEagle (ガオイーグル, Gao Īguru) to become GaoYellow. He is serious and regimental, deciding that the Gaorangers should refer to each other by color instead of name. His other Power Animals are GaoBear (ガオベアー, Gao Beā) and GaoPolar (ガオポーラー, Gao Pōrā).
GaoBlue (ガオブルー, Gao Burū)
Kai Samezu (鮫津 海, Samezu Kai), the "Surging Shark" (怒涛の鮫, Dotō no Same), was a freeter before he was chosen by Gao Shark (ガオシャーク, GaoShāku) to become GaoBlue. He is the most immature of the team. His other Power Animal is GaoGiraffe (ガオジュラフ, Gao Jurafu), who appeared in GaoBlue's dream where it actually comes true that GaoKing (ガオキング, Gao Kingu) was about to lose against the evil tribe and that was why they needed GaoGiraffe to help them win against the evil tribe. GaoGiraffe will take GaoShark or GaoBear's place when it is chosen to fight.
GaoBlack (ガオブラック, Gao Burakku)
Soutarou Ushigome (牛込 草太郎, Ushigome Sōtarō), the "Iron Bison" (鋼の猛牛, Hagane no Mōgyū), was a retired sumo wrestler who was working as a florist before he was chosen by GaoBison (ガオバイソン, Gao Baison) to become GaoBlack. He is the physically strongest, but shyest of the team. His other Power Animals are GaoRhinos (ガオライノス, Gao Rainosu) and GaoMadillo (ガオマジロ, Gao Majiro).
GaoWhite (ガオホワイト, Gao Howaito)
Sae Taiga (大河 冴, Taiga Sae), the "Belle Tiger" (麗しの白虎, Uruwashi no Byakko), was a martial arts student under her father before she was chosen by GaoTiger (ガオタイガー, Gao Taigā) to be GaoWhite. She is the youngest and only female of the team. Her other Power Animals are GaoElephant (ガオエレファント, Gao Erefanto) and GaoDeers (ガオディアス, Gao Diasu).
GaoSilver (ガオシルバー, Gao Shirubā)
Tsukumaro Oogami (大神 月麿, Ōgami Tsukumaro)/Shirogane (シロガネ), the "Sparking Wolf" (閃烈の銀狼, Senretsu no Ginrō), was a Gao Warrior from the Heian period over 1,000 years ago. He used the power of the Dark Wolf Mask to defeat the evil Hyakkimaru (百鬼丸). However, he was turned into Duke Org Rouki (デュークオルグ狼鬼, Dyūku Orugu Rōki) and got the other Gao Warriors to entomb him so he could not do any more harm. He was later awakened as Rouki in the present age, but was freed of his curse by the Gaorangers. As GaoSilver, his Power Animals are GaoWolf (ガオウルフ, Gao Urufu), GaoHammerhead (ガオハンマーヘッド, Gao Hanmāheddo), and GaoLigator (ガオリゲーター, Gao Rigātā).

International Broadcasts and Home Video

  • The series was limited to only airing in Asian regions outside of Japan, as most international regions have aired the Power Rangers adaptation, Power Rangers Wild Force instead. This is also the very first Super Sentai season to be released on DVD in its home country of Japan. Originally released on Rental DVDs starting on October 12, 2001, it would also later be commercially released for sale on DVDs from December 8, 2001 to November 21, 2002, where all 12 volumes had all episodes with the first 10 volumes holding 4 episodes, the last two volumes holding 5. It was also released on VHS from January till December 2002 with those same volumes.
    • This was the very first Super Sentai series to be released in Vietnam and was given a Vietnamese dub by Phuong Nam Film Studio, where it was released as 5 anh em siêu nhân Gaoranger around 2003-2004. It has saw unprecedented success, paving the way for more Super Sentai seasons to be released in the country. Although the Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai film was released as Anh em chiến binh Gao.
    • The series was released on home video in Thailand with a Thai dub by Rose Home Entertainment (formerly Rose Video) and it was very popular with consumers. It also used to air on Channel 5 during 2003, with distribution by First Entertainment Company.
    • This was the very first Super Sentai series to air with both Mandarin (Taiwan dialect) and Cantonese dubs at once and premiere within the same year in 2003.
      • In Taiwan, the series aired with a Taiwanese Mandarin dub on October 3, 2003, until September 26, 2004 with all episodes dubbed, airing on GTV.
      • In Hong Kong, the series aired with a Cantonese Chinese dub on November 9, 2003 (a month after Taiwan aired the Taiwanese Mandarin dub) on TVB Jade until October 24, 2004 with all episodes covered.
    • In Malaysia, the series aired with a Malay dub produced by FKN Dubbing on TV2 around 2008 and finished around 2009. It was marketed under Leo Ranger.
    • In South Korea, the series was dubbed in Korean and aired in 2010 under Power Rangers Jungle Force. (파워레인저 정글포스) They have previously dubbed for its Power Rangers adaptation that was Wild Force in 2003, although aired under Power Force Rangers. (파워포스레인저) This series was picked up for broadcast after the Korean dub for Engine Sentai Go-Onger in 2009. The reason why they decided to go backwards and dub an earlier Sentai season was because they skipped Samurai Sentai Shinkenger due to the series having heavy use of elements involving Japanese culture. This is currently the only series to have both itself and its American adaptation dubbed for South Korea titled as separate shows.
    • In North America, the series would receive a DVD release by Shout! Factory on January 30, 2018 in the original Japanese audio with English subtitles. It is the eleventh Super Sentai series to be officially released in the region.

2003 although aired under Power Force Rangers 파워포스레인저 This series was picked up for broadcast after the Korean dub for Engine Sentai Go Onger in 2009 The reason why they decided to go backwards and

itself and its American adaptation dubbed for South Korea titled as separate shows In North America the series would receive a DVD release by Shout Factory on January 30 2018 in the original Japanese audio with English subtitles It is the eleventh Super Sentai series to be officially released in the region Notes Edit Chiejiro Nakasu is a pen name jointly used by director Shojiro Nakazawa and
