Production began on September 29, 2006, with principal photography beginning on October 6, 2006.

Story

4000 years ago in ancient China, a form of Chinese styled kenpō martial art called Jūken (獣拳; Beast-Fist) was created by a man named Bruce Ee, who came to Japan and built the hidden village Jūgenkyō (獣源郷; Beast Origin Village). Jūken is a martial art in which one mimics the abilities of animals as well as trying to attain spiritual peace. However, dissent grew among the creator's ten students; three of them believed that they should use the suffering and hatred harnessed within humans to increase their power, using their power to assume the monstrous Three Kenma. After Bruce Ee was murdered, the Kenma gathered followers to practice an evil form of the Jūken style known as Rin Jūken Akugata. The other seven students believed that true strength should come from within and engaged their former friends in a great war, ending the fight with a forbidden technique to seal the Kenma powers at the cost of losing their human forms in the process, becoming the Seven Kensei. Followers of the Kensei created the Geki Jūken Beast Arts school: the Jūken of justice whose sport discipline enhances the human body with the self-produced positive Qi called "Geki." It is taught by Grand Master Sha Fu, one of the Seven Kensei, using a sports goods company named SCRTC (スクラッチ, Sukuratchi) as a front. Presently, a fallen student from the Geki Jūken school named Rio turned to the Rin Jūken style. He rebuilds the Rinjū Hall and brings the long-dead Rin Jūken users back to life as kyonshi to collect Rinki, Geki's polar opposite Qi, to resurrect the Three Kenma so that through them, he can become stronger. To fight the new Rinjū Hall, Sha Fu trained two youths: Ran Uzaki and Retsu Fukami. Along with Jan Kandou, a feral boy raised by tigers in the woods near Jūgenkyō, the Gekiranger team is formed and later joined by two other Geki Jūken users, Gou Fukami, Retsu's brother and master of the Geki Jū Wolf-Ken style, and Ken Hisatsu, a genius master of the Geki Jū Rhinoceros-Ken style, to save the world from the Akugata's ambitions. However, an even greater evil uses the two sides for its plan.

Characters

Main

• Gekirangers: The eponymous students and associates of the Geki Jūken Beast Arts martial arts school. Each primary member utilizes a pair of Geki Changer (ゲキチェンジャー, Geki Chenjā) bracers, which harness and amplify their Geki, to transform and store their weapons. After acquiring their Super Geki Claws (スーパーゲキクロー, Sūpā Geki Kurō), the primary members can become Super Gekirangers (スーパーゲキレンジャー, Sūpā Gekirenjā) where they gain eight jet engine-like vents on their suits, allowing them to channel their Kageki and perform various feats of speed and aerial maneuverability. Furthermore, with the exception of Ken, the entire team can use their Geki to manifest the auras of their fighting styles' totem animals into physical Geki Beasts (ゲキビースト, Geki Bīsuto) and combine them to form Kenpō Giants (拳法巨人, Kenpō Kyojin).
  • Jan Kandou (漢堂 ジャン, Kandō Jan): A feral child raised by tigers in the forest outside the Beast Origin Village (獣源郷, Jūgenkyō) who narrowly survived an attack by Long, who intended to kill him due to his lineage, and repressed the memories of the incident. As a result of his upbringing, Jan's speech is impeded. In the present, Master Xia Fu begins training Jan as the latter embodies the "Unbreakable Body" (アンブレイカブル・ボディ, Anbureikaburu Bodi) aspect of Geki Jūken, which allows him to withstand most forms of pain, but requires assistance in mastering the heart aspect. Soon after, Jan joins the Gekirangers as Geki Red (ゲキレッド, Geki Reddo) and becomes a practitioner of the Geki Jū Tiger-Ken (激獣タイガー拳, Geki Jū Taigāken) style. Jan Kandou is portrayed by Hiroki Suzuki (鈴木 裕樹, Suzuki Hiroki) as a young adult and Arashi Fukasawa (深澤 嵐, Fukasawa Arashi) as a child.
  • Ran Uzaki (宇崎 ラン, Uzaki Ran): An employee of SCRTC who comes from a high-class family and initially focuses heavily on her willpower and keeping her heart in the highest place, to the point where she embodies the "Honest Heart" (オネスト・ハート, Onesuto Hāto) aspect of Geki Jūken as Geki Yellow (ゲキイエロー, Geki Ierō), and is a practitioner of the Geki Jū Cheetah-Ken (激獣チーター拳, Geki Jū Chītāken) style. However, a combination of these and her inability to attend to small details leaves her technique lacking. In time, she becomes happier and more relaxed, and is appointed leader of the Gekirangers. Ran Uzaki is portrayed by Mina Fukui (福井 未菜, Fukui Mina).
  • Retsu Fukami (深見 レツ, Fukami Retsu): An intelligent yet solitary, selfish, and seemingly cold SCRTC employee who holds a grudge against Rio, who he believes killed his brother Gou when he was a child. In pursuit of seeking revenge, he set aside painting to study his brother's fighting style, but believes winning should be like a painting; complete and inspirational. Due to prioritizing his techniques in his training, to the point where he embodies the "Fantastic Technique" (ファンタスティック・テクニック, Fantasutikku Tekunikku) aspect of Geki Jūken as Geki Blue (ゲキブルー, Geki Burū), and being a practitioner of the Geki Jū Jaguar-Ken (激獣ジャガー拳, Geki Jū Jagāken) style, Retsu's attention to beauty costs him stamina, leaving his body at a disadvantage. Retsu Fukami is portrayed by Manpei Takagi (高木 万平, Takagi Manpei) as a young adult, Nao Fujisaki (藤崎 直, Fujisaki Nao) as a child, and Sora Kitajima (北島 空, Kitajima Sora) as a baby.
  • Gou Fukami (深見 ゴウ, Fukami Gō): Retsu's overprotective older brother and a student in Jūken alongside Rio and Miki Masaki. Despite this, he initially lacks passion for justice and fights only for himself. This resulted in him developing and mastering a dangerous form of Geki called Shigeki (紫激気（しげき）; Violet Fierce Qi) and reinventing the Geki Jū Wolf-Ken (激獣ウルフ拳, Geki Jū Urufuken) style into his personal Fukami Style (深見流, Fukamiryū). After their parents died, Gou forced Retsu to never practice Jūken before leaving to fight Rio using an imperfect form of a forbidden Geki Waza in an attempt to defeat and seal him. However, he was transformed into a feral werewolf and wandered the world for fifteen years until he eventually regains his human form and reluctantly joins the Gekirangers as Geki Violet (ゲキバイオレット, Geki Baioretto). Unlike the primary Gekirangers, Gou embodies the "Iron Will" (アイアン・ウィル, Aian Wiru) aspect of Geki Juken and utilizes the Gong Changer (ゴングチェンジャー, Gongu Chenjā) bracelet to transform due to his Shigeki being incompatible with the Geki Changers. Gou Fukami is portrayed by Riki Miura (三浦 力, Miura Riki).
  • Ken Hisatsu (久津 ケン, Hisatsu Ken): A free-spirited martial arts prodigy who trained at the Beast Origin Village and mastered one of the oldest fighting styles in the Beast Arts, the Geki Jū Rhinoceros-Ken (激獣ライノセラス拳, Geki Jū Rainoserasuken), to overcome the pain of losing his mother at a young age. He was originally meant to join Ran and Retsu as their third teammate, but left to travel abroad due to his Geki Changers being broken and his desire to not restrict himself to the Geki Jūken school. He eventually returns in the present to aid the Gekirangers in their battle against the Rin Jūken Akugata and Gen Jūken schools as the white-colored Geki Chopper (ゲキチョッパー, Geki Choppā) before returning to work at SCRTC Meisters once the aforementioned battle is over. Unlike the primary Gekirangers, Ken embodies the "Amazing Ability" (アメイジング・アビリティ, Ameijingu Abiriti) aspect of Geki Jūken and utilizes the SaiBlade (サイブレード, Saiburēdo) gauntlet, which can combine with a Super Geki Claw to form the Super SaiBlade (スーパーサイブレード, Sūpā Saiburēdo), to transform. Ken Hisatsu is portrayed by Sotaro (聡太郎, Sōtarō).
• Rio (理央): The leader of the Rin Jūken Akugata school and a practitioner of the Rinjū Lion-Ken (臨獣ライオン拳, Rin Jū Raionken) style who seeks to gain strength so he can never suffer pain again. He initially joined the Geki Jūken school, trained under Master Xia Fu, and formed a close bond with Gou Fukami, but was dissatisfied with his progress and left to join the Akugata. During this time, he harnessed the power of Rinki to manifest an armored form called Black Lion Rio (黒獅子リオ, Kurojishi Rio). Throughout the series, Rio forms a rivalry with Jan and cultivates Rinki from his fear, hatred, and jealousy before he is overthrown by Maku and manifests Dorinki from his self-hatred. After receiving more power and killing Maku to regain his position, Rio falls under Long's influence and uses the Gen Jūken school's power to transform into Genjū King Rio (幻獣王リオ, Genjūō Rio), gaining mastery over the Genjū Gryphon-Ken (幻獣グリフォン拳, Gen Jū Gurifonken) style. Eventually, he discovers Long's treachery and joins forces with the Gekirangers to defeat him, sacrificing himself in the process. Rio is portrayed by Hirofumi Araki (荒木 宏文, Araki Hirofumi) as an adult and Shogo Ehara (江原 省吾, Ehara Shōgo) as a child.
• Mele (メレ, Mere): A cruel and malevolent practitioner of the Rinjū Chameleon-Ken (臨獣カメレオン拳, Rinjū Kamereonken) style who possesses an extendable tongue. In battle, she dual wields a pair of sai. Having died during the Geki-Rin Rebellion, Rio used Rinki to revive her as a Rinrinshi and grant her a human form a decade prior to the series due to their similar objectives. As a result, she became highly devoted to him and developed an initially unrequited love for him. She aids Rio in his plans throughout the series, during which she becomes a Vermilion Bird/rooster-themed Genshou with mastery over the Genjū Phoenix-Ken (幻獣フェニックス拳, Genjū Fenikkusuken) style while working with the Gen Jūken school, before discovering Long is manipulating Rio and joins the latter in helping the Gekirangers defeat him, sacrificing herself in the process. Mele is portrayed by Yuka Hirata (平田 裕香, Hirata Yuka).

Recurring

• Geki Jūken Beast Arts (激獣拳ビーストアーツ, Geki Jūken Bīsuto Ātsu; Fierce Beast-Fist Beast Arts): A fictional martial arts school that uses a form of Qi called Geki (激気（げき; Fierce Qi) as a source of power that manifests from the user's passion for justice and emphasizes the concepts of heart, technique, and body. The ultimate form of Geki is Kageki (過激気（かげき）; Extreme Qi), which can manifest if the user has mastered the heart-technique-body triangle and possesses a selfless desire to protect others. The sporting goods company SCRTC (スクラッチ, Sukuratchi; pronounced like the English word scratch) serves as a front for the martial arts school, specifically its Gekirangers.
  • Miki Masaki (真咲 美希, Masaki Miki): An assistant to Master Xia Fu, a student of the Geki Jūken Beast Arts, practitioner of the Geki Jū Leopard-Ken (激獣レオパード拳, Geki Jū Reopādoken) style, and the head of SCRTC's special development department who is responsible for designing most of the Gekirangers' weapons. Before training in Geki Jūken, Miki was an infamous sukeban in her youth and former leader of the Kanto Sukeban Alliance. Miki Masaki is portrayed by Kazue Itoh (伊藤 かずえ, Itō Kazue).
  • Seven Kensei (七拳聖, Shichi Kensei; Seven Fist Sages): Legendary creators of the Geki Jūken style and students of Brusa Ee. After three of their fellow students broke off to found the Rin Jūken Akugata as the Three Kenma and killed Ee, the Kensei battled them in what would later be called the Geki-Rin Rebellion. The Kensei used a forbidden Geki Waza to seal the Kenmas' bodies, but forcibly turned them into anthropomorphic versions of their fighting styles' totem animals. Following the battle, the Kensei swore a Jūken Oath of nonviolence, only using their skills in defense, established the Geki Jūken in the Beast Origin Village, and created the Sevenfold Barrier of Seven Sages (七重七聖の関, Nanae Nanasei no Seki) to prevent Akugata members from entering its sacred grounds. Following this, three of their members have become the Master Triangle (マスタートライアングル, Masutā Toraianguru) after fully mastering one of the three major aspects of the Geki Jūken Beast Arts while one, Master Xia Fu, has mastered all three.
  • Dan (ダン, Dan): Jan Kandou's father, a practitioner of the Geki Jū Tiger-Ken capable of accessing white tiger-based Geki, star pupil of Master Xia Fu's, and senior master of Rio, Gou Fukami, and Miki Masaki who is also known as Byakko (ビャッコ, Byakko). When Rio left to join the Akugata, Dan attempted to save him, but was fatally wounded by Long, who used his Geki Soul to create Suugu. While Suugu initially serves Long loyally, Dan's soul would eventually awaken inside the Genshou and rescue his son, who kills him to release his soul. Dan is portrayed by Kenji Ohba (大葉 健二, Ōba Kenji), who also voices Suugu.
• Rin Jūken Akugata (臨獣拳アクガタ, Rin Jūken Akugata; Opposing Beast-Fist Akugata): A fictional martial arts school and the Geki Jūken Beast Arts' rival school based in the Rin Jū Hall (臨獣殿, Rin Jū Den), a dojo located on the remote Rin Jū Mountain (臨獣山, Rin Jū Zan), with a natural selection-based philosophy, believing that only those strong enough can survive their harsh and inhuman training methods. Rin Jūken practitioners use a form of Qi called Rinki (臨気（りんき）; Opposing Qi), which is powered by the user's darkness and is used to perform fighting techniques called Ringi (リンギ（臨技）, Ringi; Confrontation Techniques), with the ultimate form of Rinki being Dorinki (怒臨気（どりんき）; Anger Opposing Qi), which manifests through infinite rage and a desire to destroy everything.
  • The Three Kenma (三拳魔, San Kenma; Three Fist Demons): The Akugata's founders and counterpart to the Geki Jūken's Seven Kensei who mastered the Beast-Man Wicked Body Change technique to transform themselves into monstrous anthropomorphic versions of their respective fighting style's totem animals, though they require high amounts of Rinki. Years prior, they studied under Brusa Ee alongside the Kensei before their desire to use fear and rage to power themselves combined with Maku's grudge against Ee led to them murdering the latter, breaking off to found the Akugata, and starting the Geki-Rin Rebellion. However, the Kenma were defeated by the Kensei, who sealed their souls in three Kenma Bracelets (拳魔の腕輪, Kenma no Udewa) while their bodies were sealed separately. In the present, Rio gains possession of the Kenma Bracelets and steadily resurrects them throughout the series. While they are killed by Long, Jan Kandou gains ahold of the Kenma Bracelets and receives their help in defeating Long.
• Bae (バエ): A practitioner of the Geki Jū Fly-Ken (激獣フライ拳, Gekijū Furaiken) style, which turns his vocalizations into Geki, who fought Mele during the Geki-Rin Rebellion, during which he assumed an imperfect anthropomorphic fly-like form, only to be swallowed by Mele before she died. After Rio resurrected her, Bae was resurrected as well and became dependent on her for his survival. Throughout the series, he impulsively serves as a commentator for battles between the Gekirangers' Kenpō Giants and enlarged Beast-Men and serves as an unwanted confidante for Mele before she eventually sees him as an equal. When she underwent the Fist Judgment to cleanse herself of her Genki, it entered Bae and fully resurrected him. Bae is voiced by Akira Ishida (石田 彰, Ishida Akira).
• Gen Jūken (幻獣拳; Mythical Beast Fist): A fictional martial arts group who utilize golden Qi called Genki (幻気（げんき）; Mythical Qi), practice Gengi (ゲンギ（幻技）, Mythical Techniques), and seek to exceed the power of natural beasts by mastering the power of mythical creatures via thirteen fighting styles based on the Chinese zodiac and the Four Symbols, the latter of which being represented by the group's leaders, the Four Genshou (四幻将, Shi Genshō).
  • Infinite Dragon Long (無間龍ロン, Mugen Ryū Ron): The malicious Azure Dragon-themed coordinator and leader of the Gen Jūken, the self-proclaimed master of the Gen Jū Dragon-Ken (幻獣ドラゴン拳, Gen Jū Doragonken), and an immortal whose true form is a many-headed golden dragon with terrible power who manipulates humanity on a whim. Because of his immortality and evil nature, he found the world dull and decided to create the "Destroyer", a mindless monster capable of destroying the world. To this end, he manipulated Maku in a failed attempt at turning him into the Destroyer before turning his attention to Rio and attempted to kill the Kandou family for fear that their ability to enhance their Qi would threaten his plans. In the present, Long reveals himself to personally oversee Rio's training until Mele discovers his true intentions and convinces the latter to join her in helping the Gekirangers defeat Long by sealing him in the Dōkokugan (慟哭丸; Wailing Ball), which Jan Kandou takes possession of to protect it. During the events of the crossover film Engine Sentai Go-onger vs. Gekiranger, Akugata engineer Meka steals the Dōkokugan and converts it into the Dōkokugan Soul (慟哭丸ソウル, Dōkokugan Sōru) in order to empower Nunchaku Banki as part of his plan to rule the world with the dragon's power. After Jan and Go-on Red defeat Nunchaku Banki, the Dōkokugan's seal is partially undone, allowing Long to emerge and convert Nunchaku Banki into Long Banki (ロンバンキ, Ron Banki) so he can seek revenge on the Gekirangers. He enlarges, but is defeated by the Gekirangers and Go-ongers, which restores the Dōkokugan to normal. Long is portrayed by Naoki Kawano (川野 直輝, Kawano Naoki).
  • Sanyo (サンヨ, San'yo): A talkative, immortal Black Tortoise/snake-themed Genshou, Long's right hand, and master of the Gen Jū Basilisk-Ken (幻獣バジリスク拳, Gen Jū Bajirisukuken) style, which emphasizes gravity-based attacks, that Long created from his own body. After inadvertently revealing Long's true plans to Mele, Sanyo battles her and Geki Yellow, Blue, Violet and Chopper. Despite surviving the battle, Sanyo helps recreate Long, who reabsorbs his subordinate after assuming his true form. Sanyo is voiced by Hideyuki Umezu (梅津 秀行, Umezu Hideyuki).
  • Suugu (スウグ, Sūgu): A White Tiger/Tiger of the Earthly Branches-themed Genshou and master of the Gen Jū Chimera-Ken (幻獣キメラ拳, Gen Jū Kimeraken) style, which allows him to use Geki and Rin Jūken styles, that Long created from Dan's Geki soul. While he initially lacked Dan's mind, Suugu slowly takes on aspects of the latter's personality and gains access to his memories. This would lead to Suugu overcoming Long's control and sacrificing himself to save Jan Kandou. Suugu is voiced by Kenji Ohba, who also portrays Dan.
