Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger (百獣ひゃくじゅう戦隊せんたいガオレンジャー, Hyakujū Sentai Gaorenjā, Hundred Beasts Squadron Gaoranger)[Note 1] is a Japanese Tokusatsu television series and Toei's twenty-fifth production of the Super Sentai metaseries airing in 2001 and celebrated the franchise's 25th anniversary. It aired from February 18, 2001, to February 10, 2002, replacing Mirai Sentai Timeranger, and was replaced by Ninpu Sentai Hurricanger. Footage from this show was used in the 2002 American series Power Rangers Wild Force and was later dubbed in 2010 as the retitled Power Rangers: Jungle Force for South Korean television in place of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. Gaoranger aired alongside Kamen Rider Agito.

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 the 11th Super Sentai to be released in North America on DVD in Region 1 format as Jetman was released before Gaoranger.

Plot[edit]

A millennium 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.

However, he was turned into Duke Org Rouki (デュークオルグ狼おおかみ鬼おに, Dyūku Orugu Rōki) and got the other Gao Warriors to entomb him so he could not do any more harm.

International broadcasts and home video[edit]

  • 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. On September 8, 2021, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the series' premiere, a collection set to spread through two volumes was released with the first volume having 25 episodes, and the second having 26.
    • 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 seen 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 first Super Sentai series since Ninja Sentai Kakuranger to air with both Mandarin (Taiwan dialect) and Cantonese dubs. However this time, both were shown at once and premiered 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 Philippines, this series was aired as Power Rangers adaptation of Sentai series called Power Rangers Wild Force. it was aired on ABS-CBN in 2004 until 2005 dubbed in Tagalog. this is the reason that Power Rangers series in 2000's airs on RPN-9 until it returns on ABS-CBN. After sometime, Gaoranger was aired on ABC 5 with names changed and also dubbed in Tagalog.
    • 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.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Gao (ガオ) is Japanese onomatopoeia equivalent to a roaring sound. The Gaoranger roll call uses the kanji for "fang" (牙きば, kiba) and "howl" (吠ほえ, hoe) which are read together as "Gao" (牙きば吠ほえ).
