Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger

Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger was Toei’s twenty-fifth Super Sentai production. It aired in 2001 and celebrated the franchise’s 25th anniversary. Footage from the series was used in the 2002 American series Power Rangers Wild Force and was later dubbed for South Korean television in 2010 under the retitled name Power Rangers: Jungle Force, replacing Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, possibly for cultural reasons. In Japan, Gaoranger aired alongside Kamen Rider Agito.

Thousands of years ago, humans fought a war against demon ogres known as the Orgs. With help from the Power Animals, the ancient Gao Warriors defeated the Orgs’ leader, Hyakkimaru, and sealed away the Orgs along with one of their own. When the seal begins to weaken, the Power Animals choose 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 leave behind their civilian lives and names as they search for the other Power Animals in hiding.
