==Plot==
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.

===Ogre Tribe Org===
The {{nihongo|Ogre Tribe Org|鬼族オルグ|Onizoku Orugu}} is a race of [[Oni]] born from the sadness and madness of humans. They operate in a cavern known as the Matrix.
; {{nihongo|Ultimate Org Hyakkimaru|究極オルグ百鬼丸|Kyūkyoku Orugu Hyakkimaru|23, 33 & 37}}: Ultimate Org Hyakkimaru is seen in flashbacks and was the Org that was responsible for destroying Gao God one thousand years earlier before he himself was killed by Gao Hunter, which was powered by Rouki's evil energy. As by its name, Hyakkimaru was created by many Highness Duke Orgs joining into a single form. His shadowy silhouette resembles Rakushaasa.
; {{nihongo|Ultimate Org Senki|究極オルグセンキ|Kyūkyoku Orugu Senki|49-51}}: The source of the Orgs' power after the Org Master was sealed. Senki was created when the Org Heart merges the remnants of the three Highness Dukes, fulfilling the prophecy of the "Last Org Advent". Stronger than Hyakkimaru was, Senki overpowers the Gaorangers, destroying all the Power Animals and bringing the Animarium down. He then attacked the city, but the Power Animals are all revived and countless others arrive to help. All the Power Animals are able to destroy Senki's physical body, while the Gaorangers contributed their energy to Hyakujuuken and used it to destroy Senki's heart so he could not revive himself. The Highness Dukes' combined weapon, which is also Senki's default weapon, is the {{nihongo|All-Carnage Ogre Blade|修羅百鬼剣|Shura Hyakkiken}}. This weapon is the Highness Dukes' own version of the Gaoranger's Hyakujuuken, which is a combination of Shuten's axe, Ura's fan, and Rasetsu's fork and knife. Senki is voiced by [[Daisuke Gōri]].
; {{nihongo|Orgets|オルゲット|Orugetto|2-51}}: The minions of the Ogre Tribe Org created from a pink liquid. Considered the lowest class of Orgs because of their small, undeveloped horns. Armed with clubs that also function as flamethrowers. A different class of red-skinned colored Orgets were responsible for Muraki losing her voice, because she saved Shirogane from their attack thousands of years ago. They were all destroyed when the 100 Power Animals gathered to battle Senki.

{{expand section|date=April 2023}}
The {{nihongo|'''Highness Duke Orgs'''|ハイネスデュークオルグ|Hainesu Dyūku Orugu}} are the rulers of the Ogre Tribe Org.
; {{nihongo|Highness Duke Org [[Shuten-dōji|Shuten]]|ハイネスデュークオルグ シュテン|Hainesu Dūku Orugu Shuten|2-14 & 47-49}}: The first of the Highness Dukes to be awakened, this [[cyclops]]-like (he had one main eye) multi-[[eye]]d Org wants to take over the world. Short-tempered, he wields the {{nihongo|Highness [[Axe]]|ハイネスアックス|Hainesu Akkusu}} and can stretch his arms. He once attempted to obtain Gao Elephant's Gao Jewel while it was dormant, but is forced to leave both it and the scroll behind when the orb left painful scars on his palms. He attempts to have the Dukes find ideal Orgs with his detached eye, only to anger the Org Master with his repeated failure. Seeking to redeem himself, Shuten attempts to destroy the Gaorangers by blocking the Gao Soul, knocking them around in human form while the Dukes take their Gao Jewels. But at the last second, Pyochan restores the Gao Souls, with Gao Red defeating Shuten with Gao Mane Buster. Refusing to accept defeat, Shuten takes TsueTsue's staff to perform the Highness Duke secret technique to enlarge at full power. But Shuten was not much for the SoulBird-powered Gao Muscle and Gao King. Though he survives the Super Animal Heart, Shuten is killed by the newly awakened Highness Duke Org Ura, who drains and absorbs all his power. Shuten is later resurrected, fighting Gao Red and Gao Yellow in a vain attempt to protect the red idol on the mountain that powers the barrier protecting the Matrix. Though he was killed, TsueTsue uses the Org Heart to fuse him with the others to create Senki. Shuten is voiced by [[Tetsu Inada]].
; {{nihongo|Highness Duke Org [[Momotaro|Ura]]|ハイネスデュークオルグ ウラ|Hainesu Dūku Orugu Ura|14-24, 26-30 & 47-49}}: The second Highness Duke to be awakened, in response to Shuten's failure, he was effeminate with a [[nose]]-like face and [[ear]]-like projections on his back. Obsessed with collecting beautiful items, he is the one who awakens Rouki. He uses a magic [[mirror]] to see things at a distance and carries a fan as his weapon. Through Rouki, Ura gains the four Power Animal orbs that Rouki had stolen and uses them to create Chimera Org. However, the Org is beaten by the newly transformed Gao Silver, who also kills Ura. But Ura's crown survived and, after TsueTsue used it to briefly become Onihime, Ura regenerates himself from it. From there, Ura cultivates the displaced Thousand-Year Evil, making it stronger with each host he creates for it. Soon enough, Ura captures Gao Silver to have him reabsorb the evil power. However, after Gao Silver rejects it, Ura is able to absorb it to evolve into a more powerful form called {{nihongo|Ultimate Form Ura|ウラ究極体|Ura Kyūkyokutai|30 & 31}} which was his actual plan from the beginning. With his new power, Ura kills the Gaorangers with only Kakeru and Shirogane the sole survivors of the first attack. The two Gaorangers try to fight Ura on their own until the others provide Gao Red with the Falcon Summoner and Gao Falcon as Gao God revives them to aid in forming Gao Icarus, engaging in a dogfight before purging his body of the Thousand-Year Evil with Icarus Dynamite. Restored to normal, Ura is wounded by Gao Silver who destroys his crown so Ura would be killed for good by the Gaorangers' Hyakuujuuken. Ura was later resurrected, fighting Gao Silver and Gao White in a vain attempt to protect the green idol in the forest that powers the barrier protecting the Matrix. Though he was killed, TsueTsue uses the Org Heart to fuse him with the others to create Senki. Ura is voiced by Tamotsu Nishiwaki.
; {{nihongo|Highness Duke Org [[Rasetsu]]|ハイネスデュークオルグ ラセツ|Hainesu Dūku Orugu Rasetsu|32-44 & 47-49}}: The final Highness Duke to be awakened, a hermaphrodite with a mass of [[mouth]]s with both male and female voices who referred himself as the "Prince of Despair". He is ravenous with an appetite for anything within reach, using a [[knife]] and [[fork]] as his weapons. He treats the Duke Orgs like dirt, painfully transferring their powers to certain Orgs. His very plan from the beginning was severing the ties between the Gaorangers and the Power Animals, using Kurushimemas Org to obtain Kakeru's G-Phone to implant a bug-extension of him into it to pinpoint Gao 's Rock. But he had an alternate motive in getting Tetomu, whose cooking he obsessed for. He almost got Tetomu as his chef, sacrificing TsueTsue in the process while removing the Gaorangers from the picture, if the Power Animals hadn't drove him away. Refusing to accept defeat, Rasets decides to complete his plan on [[Christmas]], with his bug destroying the G-Phones prior to the fight while he smashes the G-Brace Phone. Rasets then ingests his creation to assume giant size to destroy Gao 's Rock. But before Rasets can eat the gang, the Power Animals arrive, with Gao Deers restoring the Gaorangers' transformation devices. Gao Muscle and Gao Hunter managed to wound the Highness Duke Org enough for Gao Kentarus to land the deathblow. Rasets is later resurrected as the leader of the other Highness Duke Orgs, fighting Gao Black and Gao Blue in a vain attempt to protect the blue idol within the lake that powers the barrier protecting the Matrix. Though he was killed, TsueTsue uses the Org Heart to fuse him with the others to create Senki. Rasets is voiced by [[Hiromi Nishikawa]] and [[Hidekatsu Shibata]].
====Duke Orgs====
The {{nihongo|Duke Orgs|デュークオルグ|Dyūku Orugu}} oversee the Baron Org attacks.
; {{nihongo|Duke Org Yabaiba|デュークオルグ ヤバイバ|Dyūku Orugu Yabaiba}}: A crazed [[pierrot]]-like master of knives who claimed himself to Gao Yellow's greatest rival. He commonly blurts out {{nihongo|"That's yabai-bad"|これはヤバイバ|Kore wa yabai-ba!}} whenever things got wrong for him and the other Orgs. While affected by residual energy from the Thousand-Year Evil, Yabaiba became {{nihongo|Armored Yabaiba|装甲ヤバイバ|Sōkō Yabaiba|26-31}}, which lasted until Ura was killed for good. While attempting to impress Rasetsu, Yabaiba enlisted the aid of his brother Juggling Org, forming Team Circus to kill the Gaorangers. When his brother was overwhelmed by Gao King, Yabaiba eats the Org Seeds to grow large and fight alongside Juggling Org, until he died while the seeds' effect wore off and restored Yabaiba to normal size. Though he failed to impress Rasetsu, Yabaiba earned TsueTsue's respect and fell in love with TsueTsue over the course of the series, devastated by her death. After Yabaiba managed to conceal the Matrix's whereabouts with massive landscaping, he receives a message from beyond the grave, provided the means to revive TsueTsue: Using a fishing rod and her horn energized with the power that killed her. Using Steam Engine Org as a sacrificial lamb, Yabaiba succeeds in reeling TsueTsue out of hell, only to find the Highnesses were revived as a result. Though he began to question the intention of their masters', he followed TsueTsue out of love. After surviving the cave-in of their base, Yabaiba followed TsueTsue as they teamed up with the Jakanja in ''Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger''. He was finally killed by the two teams' Victory Gadget/Hyakujuuken combo along with TsueTsue. Yabaiba is voiced by [[Kōichi Sakaguchi]].
; {{nihongo|Duke Org TsueTsue|デュークオルグ ツエツエ|Dyūku Orugu Tsuetsue}}: An arrogant Org priestess whose magic is as great as her devotion to the Highnesses. She developed an instant hatred of Gao White for calling her "Grandma". TsueTsue is in charge of reviving and enlarging the minor Orgs by using special [[soybean]]s called {{nihongo|Org Seeds|オルグシード|Orugu Shīdo}} fired from her staff and chanting {{nihongo|"Org Seeds, please allow the fallen to regain their enormous wicked power! Ogres Come in! Blessings go out!"|オルグシードよ、消えゆかんとする邪悪に再び巨大なる力を！鬼は内！福は外！|Orugu Shīdo yo, kiyukan to suru jaaku ni futatabi kyodai naru chikara o! Oni wa uchi! Fuku wa soto!}}. When Ura was seemingly dead, she temporarily used his crown to become the {{nihongo|Highness Duchess Org Onihime|ハイネスデュークオルグ オニヒメ|Hainesu Dūku Orugu Onihime|25}}. While affected by residual energy from the Thousand-Year Evil, TsueTsue became {{nihongo|Armored TsueTsue|装甲ツエツエ|Sōkō Tsuetsue|26-31}}. Her obsession for praise from the Highness Dukes led to her being tricked by Dorodoro into cutting off her horn in order to capture Tetomu without being affected by the sacred spring, even saying that it would grow back. Though she was near-death, TsueTsue couldn't see that she was only a pawn as she then was used by Rasetsu as a shield from the Hyakujuuken. But she was soon revived when Yabaiba energized TsueTsue's severed horn with the Hyakujuuken's power, and used it as a [[fishing lure]] to bring her back from hell. As she was reeled out of hell, she carried the three Highness Dukes with her, rewarded her loyalty with the title of {{nihongo|Org Shaman TsueTsue|オルグの巫女 ツエツエ|Orugu no Miko Tsuetsue|47-51}} and a new staff. Afterwards, she was even more insane and driven even more for one purpose, serving the Highness Dukes to the point of creating the Org Heart that fused the Highness Dukes into Senki. After surviving the cave-in of their base, TsueTsue teamed up with the Jakenja in ''Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger'' to get her revenge on the Gaorangers. Though she was killed by the two teams' Victory Gadget/Hyakujuuken combo, TsueTsue was resurrected a second time in ''GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai'' by a combination of a Gōdom Engine and Chronos' magic (strangely, though she was destroyed on the battlefield, Chronos revived her in the Matrix) and assisted Chronos, Gajah, and Meemy, only to be used in the end as an ingredient to create a new Precious, the {{nihongo|Staff of the Three Philosophers|３賢者の杖|Sankenja no Tsue}}, that powered Chronos up. After Chronos was destroyed by Burning Legend DaiVoyager, so too was the staff, and TsueTsue along with it. Tsuetsue is played by Rei Saito.
; {{nihongo|Duke Org Rouki|デュークオルグ 狼鬼|Dūku Orugu Rōki|15-23, 26 & 30}}: An [[werewolf]]-like Org born from the mass of evil energy contained inside the Dark Mask, the {{nihongo|Thousand-Year Evil|千年邪鬼|Sennen Jaki}}, called himself the most powerful warrior of the Orgs. Rouki wields the {{nihongo|Crescent Moon Blade|三日月剣|Mikazukiken}} which can perform the {{nihongo|''Crescent Wave''|クレセントウェーブ|Kuresento Wēbu}} and {{nihongo|''Moonlight Sonic''|ムーンライトソニック|Mūnraito Sonikku}} attacks, and like TsueTsue, he has his own {{nihongo|Wolf Seeds|ウルフシード|Urufu Shīdo}} that can enlarge Orgs by the command "Wolf Seeds, allow the fallen to regain their enormous wicked power!". Long ago, Shirogane used the mask to evoke his three Power Animals' combination at the cost of becoming Rouki himself. Vainly attempting to control himself, Shirogane had his allies seal him away into a stone coffin. But once released by Ura, Rouki is bent on exacting his 1,000 year grudge on the Gaorangers with no memory of his human life. In the process, while taking the Gao Jewels of Gao Elephant, Gao Giraffe, Gao Bear, and Gao Polar, Rouki begins to recover his memory as Shirogane. When the time of the full moon came, when his power is at its zenith, Ura implants a special grasshopper to modify Rouki's memory and willingly give the Gao Jewels to the Highness Duke. By then, the Gaorangers learned the truth and Shirogane was finally freed from the evil energy when the Gaorangers used Gao King Striker to force Gao Hunter apart and break the curse. However, Rouki was then released from his imprisonment and he attempted to kill Silver for using him and his power. Rouki was eventually defeated when Gao Silver joined forces with the other Gaorangers and Rouki was finally killed by Gao Hunter Justice with the Dark Wolf Mask destroyed. But the Thousand-Year Evil Rouki was made of escaped and scattered, with Ura cultivating it in various Orgs. Each time an Org is killed, the evil energy become even stronger. When Gao Deers sealed the energy, Ura had the Dukes capture Shirogane, who forced him to reabsorb the stronger evil energy, and become Rouki again but he was able to reject the power, unaware that it was all part of Ura's plan. But thanks to Gao Icarus, the Thousand-Year Evil was finally destroyed for good. Rouki is voiced by [[Eiji Takemoto]].
; {{nihongo|Duke Org Kyurara & Propela|デュークオルグ キュララ＆プロプラ|Dūku Orugu Kyurara to Puropura|32 & 33}}: A [[tank]]-based Org and a [[helicopter]]-based Org respectively, both are Rasetsu's two personal Duke Orgs. On Rasetsu's order, Kyurara and Propla start systematically destroying [[Tokyo]] to soothe their master's ravenous urges to "eat human dreams". The Gaorangers managed to pinpoint their next attack to be at Shinweiya. Though defeated, Rasetsu transfers some of TsueTsue and Yabaiba's energy into the Duke Orgs to boost his power, turning them into berserkers. Gao Red managed to destroy Propela with the Falcon Summoner, and then he and the other Gaorangers managed to destroy Kyurara with Hyakujuuken. But, Kyurara and Propela were quickly revived and overpowered Gao King and Gao Hunter Justice, though they were both destroyed by Gao Icarus. Kyurara is voiced by Yutaka Asukai while Propla is voiced by [[Hideo Ishikawa]].
; {{nihongo|Duke Org DoroDoro|デュークオルグ ドロドロ|Dūku Orugu Dorodoro|42 & 43}}: A [[ninja]] Duke Org who appeared seemingly out of nowhere to aid Rasets, bent on achieving his master's goal no matter the cost. A master of Org Ninpo, he created illusions of Shrine Bell Org, Tire Org, Clock Org, Magic Flute Org, and Animal-Tamer Org to distract the Gaorangers while he had TsueTsue capture Tetomu for him. Later, DoroDoro then uses his Shadow Clone Ninpo to create the {{nihongo|[[Shade (shadow)|Kage]] Rangers|影レンジャー|Kagerenjā}}, shadow-[[Clone (genetics)|clone]]s of the Gaorangers, whom they could not destroy without killing themselves in the process. But it was by dumb luck while following Rasets' order to punish Yabaiba that his Ninpo backfired on him, creating "Kage DoroDoro" that the Rangers destroyed with the Falcon Summoner, the Kage Rangers died along with him. Yabaiba made one final attempt to please Rasets order by revive Dorodoro. On Rasets' order, DoroDoro takes the Rangers in another dimension where the spirits of dead Orgs reside. With Tetomu's help, Gao Lion evoked the formation of Gao Kentaurus who destroys DoroDoro to bring the gang back to the real world. DoroDoro is voiced by [[Yasunori Masutani]].
=====Three Org Brothers=====

He wielded a [[sword]] shaped like a [[thunderbolt]] and his special attack was called ''Devil's Thunder''. Zeus Org was the leader of the Orgs on an island in another dimension and forced the natives to mine for a special ruby that contained GaoKong's power. Zeus was successful in slaying Kaito who was attempting to protect the Princess and then fought GaoSilver, who fended him off until the rest of the Gaorangers arrived and defeated him, causing his flaming body to fall into the ocean below.

Having won the contest, Tetomu was awarded half of the ruby by Poseidon. When GaoRed and Kaito attempted to rescue Tetomu, Poseidon attempted to fend them off and despite being drunk, was an effective fighter. It wasn't until GaoYellow joined them that he was bested. He later joined his brothers in fighting the Gaorangers and the islanders and was destroyed, along with his brother Hades, by the Gaorangers before being resurrected as a giant by Zeus. He was the first to attempt to attack GaoKnight but was destroyed by a quick stroke by GaoKnight's sword. Voiced by [[Ichiro Mizuki]].

The Baron Orgs are multi-horned desire to become Duke Orgs themselves, usually accepting the offer a Duke Org gives them in return for their own desires coming true. Whenever a Baron Org is killed, TsueTsue would wield her staff at the oozy remnants, chanting as the Org Seeds spit out of the staff and onto the puddle, recreating the Org as a giant.

==International broadcast and Home Video==
{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2025}}
* The series was limited to only airing in [[Asia|Asian]] [[Region|regions]] outside of [[Japan]], as most international regions have aired the Power Rangers adaptation, Power Rangers Wild Force instead. This is also the 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, and 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 [[TV5 (Philippine TV network)|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 (Malaysian TV network)|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]], including the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], 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.
