Power Animal (Gaoranger) - Power Animals

Power Animals

The Power Animals are fully sentient physical manifestations of the planet's lifeforce, being metallic from the absorption of metals during their creation and are the holy power that protects the planet. Each of the Gaorangers possesses a totem Power Animal to whom their powers are based, along with others that are acquired throughout the series. Each Power Animal possesses a Gao Jewel that it entrusts to the Gaoranger that it is bounded with. Most of the Power Animals acquired by the Gaorangers reside on the Sky Island Animarium (天空島 アニマリウム, Tenkūjima Animariumu?). The Power Animals are summoned using the command "Hundred Beast Summon" (百獣召還, Hyakujū Shōkan?)/"Summoning, Gao (name of animal)! (Shōkan Gao !).

In the finale, when Senki destroys the seventeen Power Animals aiding the Gaorangers and Gao God, the other seventy-eight Power Animals appear in the forms of colorful spheres and revive their fallen comrades. When they are united, all one hundred Power Animals use their Heavenly Earth Roar Hundred Beast Animal Heart to finally destroy Senki. 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 Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger.

• Gao Lion (ガオライオン, Gao Raion?): Gao Red's totem Power Animal, usually becoming Gao King's upper torso. But on rare occasion, Gao Lion can also become Gao Kentaurus’ lower torso and feet when increased in size. Years after the Orgs' defeat, Gao Lion allies himself with the Gokaigers to battle the Zangyack.
• Gao Eagle (ガオイーグル, Gao Īguru?): Gao Yellow's totem Power Animal. It can transform into Gao King's head or become a waist for the Gao Muscle/Gao Knight formations. It is able to fire Feather Bombs from its wings when not in formation.
• Gao Shark (ガオシャーク, Gao Shāku?): Gao Blue's totem Power Animal. Becomes a right arm part. Its formation special attack is Shark Shot (シャークショット, Shāku Shotto?) and its dorsal fin is used as a small knife-like weapon called the Fin Blade (フィンブレード, Fin Burēdo?).
• Gao Bison (ガオバイソン, Gao Baison?): Gao Black's totem Power Animal. Becomes Gao King's, Gao Muscle's, and Gao Knight's lower torso and feet. In other formations, it adds Another Foot to the name. Its formation special attack is called Bison Kick (バイソンキック, Baison Kikku?) or Double Bison Kick (ダブルバイソンキック, Daburu Baison Kikku?).
• Gao Tiger (ガオタイガー, Gao Taigā?): Gao White's totem Power Animal. Becomes a left arm part. Its formation special attack is called Tiger Attack (タイガーアタック, Taigā Atakku?), a punch attack that is usually used alongside Gao Shark's Shark Shot.
• Gao Elephant (ガオエレファント, Gao Erefanto?): One of Gao White's additional Power Animals, its jewel was embedded within a stone found with a scroll in the Liewan Shinto Temple. Gao Elephant rested within Gazou Mountain until it was awoken by Tetomu. Gao Elephant can perform Hundred Beast Armament, turning itself into the Elephant Sword (エレファントソード, Erefanto Sōdo?) and the Elephant Shield (エレファントシールド, Erefanto Shīrudo?) for Gao King to use as Gao King Sword & Shield (ガオキングソード＆シールド, Gao Kingu Sōdo ando Shīrudo?), using the finish attack being Powerful Bisection: Evil Crusher (豪力両断イビルクラッシャー, Gōriki Ryōdan: Ibiru Kurasshā?).
• Gao Giraffe (ガオジュラフ, Gao Jurafu?): Gao Blue's additional Power Animal. It was originally in the form of a crane and sent dreams to Kai where Gao King was no match for Boat Org and that they needed the “spotted spear” to win. When the dream began to come true, Tetomu realized that a Power Animal was calling to him. When Gao Blue called out to the Power Animal, the crane he used earlier during their fight against Boat Org revealed its true form as Gao Giraffe. Gao Giraffe can transform into the Giraffe Spear (ジュラフスピアー, Jurafu Supiā?), a right arm with its head is covered by a pointed helmet, adding the word Spear (スピアー, Supiā?) when used with the Gao King, Gao Hunter, or Gao Muscle formations. Its finishing move is Demon Penatration Neck Thrust (悪鬼貫徹ネックスラスト, Akki Kantetsu Nekku Surasuto?), where its head is fired from its neck, and the enemy is pierced by its helmet. When combined with Gao Hunter when it was evil, its attack was Spirit Penatration Neck Thrust (精霊貫徹ネックスラスト, Seirei Kantetsu Nekku Surasuto?). Gao Giraffe made a cameo in Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger.
• Gao Bear & Gao Polar (ガオベアー＆ガオポーラー, Gao Beā to Gao Pōrā?): Gao Yellow's additional Power Animals (he carries the jewels but gives them to Blue and White when used) who originally appeared as mysterious boys in black and white respectively. After Gao Yellow retrieved flowers for Gao Bear and Gao Polar, they gave him two seeds that turned into their Gao Jewels. Gao Bear uses the power of fire and transforms into a left arm part. Gao Polar uses the power of ice and transforms into a right arm part. When added to another combination with Gao Polar, Double Knuckle (ダブルナックル, Daburu Nakkuru?) is added to that formation's name and they would then destroy the enemy with the Bear Strike attack. If only one is used, Knuckle (ナックル, Nakkuru?) is added, as seen in episode 38 when Gao Bear was added alone with Gao King. Their specialty move other than Bear Strike is Whirling Frenzy (巴大車輪, Tomoe Daisharin?), where the two join their feet together and rapidly spin towards the enemy when they are not in a mecha formation, and Ice Fang Blaze :Bear Strike (氷牙炎滅ベアーストライク, Hyōga Enmetsu: Beā Sutoraiku?), where blasts are fired from the mouths of Gao Bear and Gao Polar. While under Rouki's control, Gao Hunter Double Knuckle used Spirit Blaze: Bear Strike (精霊炎滅ベアーストライク, Seirei Enmetsu: Beā Sutoraiku?). Gao Bear and Gao Polar didn't initially accept Gao Lion, and Gao Lion was injured.
• Gao Gorilla (ガオゴリラ, Gao Gorira?): One of Gao Red's additional Power Animals. Becomes Gao Muscle’s upper torso and head. During the Gaorangers' journey to find the shining mushroom, Gao Gorilla pulls them back in time to a period where a forest was still untouched by construction.

Its special attack is Banana Bomb (バナナボム, Banana Bomu?), where it throws explosive bananas at the enemy.
• Gao Wolf (ガオウルフ, Gao Urufu?): Gao Silver's totem Power Animal. Acts as a left arm part. Its formation special attack is Wolf Attack (ウルフアタック, Urufu Atakku?), whereas it is known as Blue Wolf Attack (ブルーウルフアタック, Burū Urufu Atakku?) in Blue Moon Mode. It can also combine with other mecha when the Gao Hunter formation is not possible, adding the name Another Arm (アナザーアーム, Anazā Āmu?). Gao Wolf can also transform into Gao Silver's wolf-themed motorcycle, the Wolf Roader (ウルフローダー, Urufu Rōdā?).
• Gao Hammerhead (ガオハンマーヘッド, Gao Hanmāheddo?): One of Gao Silver's additional Power Animals. Acts as a right arm part. Its formation special attack is Hammer Shot (ハンマーショット, Hanmā Shotto?), whereas it is known as Blue Hammer Shot (ブルーハンマーショット, Burū Hanmā Shotto?) in Blue Moon Mode. Like Gao Wolf, it can also combine with another mecha if the Gao Hunter formation is not possible.
• Gao Ligator (ガオリゲーター, Gaorigātā?): One of Gao Silver's additional Power Animals. It becomes Gao Hunter’s main body and feet. Its tail combines with Gao Hammerhead's dorsal fin to become the Ligator Blade weapon for Gao Hunter.
• Gao Madillo (ガオマジロ, Gao Majiro?): One of Gao Black's additional Power Animals, chanting "Madi" (マジ, Maji?). He, along with Gao Rhinos, was summoned by Gao Bison to help against Rouki after Gao Bison was badly injured by Lawnmower Org. Gao Madillo originally appeared in a miniaturized form in the guise of soccerball when it gave their jewels to Gao Black. When used in combination with Gao Rhinos, Gao Madillo goes into Gao Rhinos's right foot. Gao Madillo was once used by Gao King Another Arm as a bowling ball for the Super-Fast Rotation Tornado Gao Madillo Spin (超速回転トルネードガオマジロスピン, Chōsoku Kaiten Torunēdo Gao Majiro Supin?) technique in order to counter Bowling Org's bowling ball. Gao Yellow usually borrows Gao Madillo's jewel when the Gaorangers form Gao Muscle Striker or Gao Icarus.
• Gao Rhinos (ガオライノス, Gao Rainosu?): One of Gao Black's additional Power Animals. Becomes the lower torso and feet for Gao Icarus. It arrived after Gao Madillo gave their two Gao Jewels to Gao Black. The two often replace Gao Bison and Gao Eagle as legs for Gao King and Gao Muscle, adding the word Striker (ストライカー, Sutoraikā?). Gao Rhinos’ formation special moves are Rhino Shoot, Rhinos Kick (ライノスキック, Rainosu Kikku?) and Striker Bomber (ストライカーボンバー, Sutoraikā Bonbā?), where Gao Muscle Striker rapidly spins and delivers punches to the enemy. With Gao King Striker, its finishing move is Strong Flash Kick Rhino Shoot, where Gao Madillo crawls out of Gao Rhinos and curls up into a ball that is kicked at the opponent like a soccer ball, whereas with Gao Muscle Striker, its finishing move is Strong Kick Blast Rhino Shoot (強蹴爆砕ライノシュート, Kyōshū Bakusai Raino Shūto?).
• Gao Kong (ガオコング, Gao Kongu?): A red version of Gao Gorilla that is the guardian of the island. Its Gao Jewel was formed when the two pieces of the ruby were joined on an alter during three simultaneous eclipses, and it was then awakened from the volcano. It attacks with flaming palm trees.
• Gao Deers (ガオディアス, Gao Diasu?): One of Gao White's Additional Power Animals. Transforms into a left arm part where its antlers are used as a weapon, called the Deer's Scissors (ディアスシザース, Diasu Shizāsu?) with which it can heal injured Power Animals with its Deers Healing (ディアスヒーリング, Diasu Hīringu?), which can also immoblize Orgs via Capture Ring (キャプチャーリング, Kyapuchā Ringu?). 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, Gao Silver was able to play for Gao Deers once again and it gave Tetomu its jewel. Afterwards, Tetomu gave its jewel to Gao White. When used with Gao King or Gao Muscle, it adds the word Cross Horn (クロスホーン, Kurosu Hōn?) to that formation’s name. Its signature moves are Cleansing Radiance Manifestation Bubble Capture (清輝顕現バブルキャプチャー, Seiki Kengen Baburu Kyapuchā?) to seal enemies and Natural-Reverse Horn Crash (天地逆転ホーンクラッシュ, Tenchi Gyakuten Hōn Kurasshu?) for a final blow.
