Story

File:Gekiranger.jpg
Juken Sentai Gekiranger

Four thousand years ago, in China, a form of Kenpo martial arts was developed, the Beast-Fist (獣拳, Jūken) style was created by a man named Brusa Ee who built the hidden Beast-Origin Village (獣源郷, Jūgenkyō). Beast-Fist is a martial art in which one mimics the abilities of animals as well as reach spiritual peace. However, dissent grew among the creator's ten students. Three believed that they should use the suffering and hatred harnessed within humans to increase their power, using their power to assume their monstrous forms, the Three Fist Demons. The other seven believed that the strength should come from within. After Brusa Ee was murdered, his pupils' two groups fought in a great war, with the seven ending the fight with a forbidden technique to seal the Fist Demons' powers at the cost of losing their own human forms in the process, becoming the Fist Sages. Followers of the Fist Sages created the Fierce Beast-Fist Beast Arts school: the Beast-Fist of justice whose sport discipline enhances the human body with the self-produced positive Qi (refactored from Qi) called "Fierce Ki." It is taught by Grand Master Sha-Fu, one of the seven Fist Sages, using a sports goods company named "SCRTC" as a front. The followers of the Three Fist Demons practice the evil form of the Beast-Fist style known as Confrontation Beast-Fist Akugata. By present time, a fallen student from the Fierce Beast-Fist school named Rio leads the Confrontation Beast Fist-style, rebuilding the Confrontation Beast Hall with intent on world domination. Bringing other Confrontation Beast-Fist users back from the dead as kyonshi, he collects Confrontation Ki, Fierce Ki's polar opposite Qi, to revive the Three Fist Demons so that through them, he can become stronger. To fight the new Confrontation Beast Hall, the Fist Sage Sha-Fu had been training two youths: Ran Uzaki and Retsu Fukami. Along with Jan Kandou, a feral boy raised by tigers in the woods near the hidden village, the Gekiranger team is formed to save the world from Rio's ambitions.

Fierce Beast-Fist Beast Arts

The Fierce Beast-Fist Beast Arts (激獣拳ビーストアーツ, Geki Jūken Bīsuto Ātsu) is the school of Beast-Fist that the Gekirangers practice. It is founded by the legendary seven Fist Sages (拳聖, Kensei), one of whom is mentor to the Gekirangers.

Jan Kandou (漢堂 ジャン, Kandō Jan) / GekiRed (ゲキレッド, GekiReddo)
The "Unbreakable Body" (「アンブレイカブル・ボディ」, Anbureikaburu Bodi), a practitioner of Fierce Beast Tiger-Fist (激獣タイガー拳, Gekijū Taigāken) who was raised by tigers in the mountains and relies on his brute strength in battle. Because of his upbringing, he has his own terms for various concepts that are used in the titles of episodes. He became Sharkie Chan's first student of the Fierce Beast Shark-Fist (激獣シャーク拳, Gekijū Shākuken) sword-fighting style. His strong point is his "Body" (, Tai, also pronounced as Karada), but does not know much about "Heart" as he was raised by animals. Training with Master Gorie Yen of the Fierce Beast Gorilla-Fist (激獣ゴリラ拳, Gekijū Goriraken) style will improve Jan's "Heart."
Ran Uzaki (宇崎 ラン, Uzaki Ran) / GekiYellow (ゲキイエロー, GekiIerō)
The "Honest Heart" (「オネスト・ハート」, Onesuto Hāto), a practitioner of Fierce Beast Cheetah-Fist (激獣チーター拳, Gekijū Chītāken) who grew up in a dojo and relies on her speed and fists in battle. She is the most straightlaced member of the team, and was chosen by Master Elehung to learn the ball and chain techniques of Fierce Beast Elephant-Fist (激獣エレファント拳, Gekijū Erefantoken) which made her more happy and funloving. Her strong point is "Heart" (, Shin, also pronounced as Kokoro), but does not pay attention to details which makes her "Technique" poor. Training with Mistress Michelle Peng of the Fierce Beast Penguin-Fist (激獣ペンギン拳, Gekijū Penginken) style will improve Ran's "Technique."
Retsu Fukami (深見 レツ, Fukami Retsu) / GekiBlue (ゲキブルー, GekiBurū)
The "Fantastic Technique" (「ファンタスティック・テクニック」, Fantasutikku Tekunikku), a practitioner of Fierce Beast Jaguar-Fist (激獣ジャガー拳, Gekijū Jagāken) who had a career as an artist but now puts beauty into his fighting. He impressed Master Bat Li and was taught the war-fan techniques of Fierce Beast Bat-Fist (激獣バット拳, Gekijū Battoken). His strong point is his "Technique" (, Gi, also pronounced as Waza), but does not train as much physically making his "Body" poor. Training with Master Bion Biao of the Fierce Beast Gazelle-Fist (激獣ガゼル拳, Gekijū Gazeruken) will improve Retsu's "Body."
Gou Fukami (深見 ゴウ, Fukami Gō) / GekiViolet (ゲキバイオレット, GekiBaioretto)
The "Iron Will" (「アイアンウィル」, Aian Wiru) and older brother of Retsu Fukami, thought to have died fighting Rio long ago. But in reality, Gou used the forbidden Beast Full-Body Change in an attempt to defeat Rio and has been cursed to become a werewolf. After regaining his memories and undergoing soul searching, Gou accepts Sha-Fu's offer, taking the newly created GongChanger, and becomes the new team member. Though he is a master of the Fierce Beast Wolf-Fist (激獣ウルフ拳, Gekijū Urufuken), Gou reinvented it into his personal Fukami Style (深見流, Fukamiryū).
Ken Hisatsu (久津 ケン, Hisatsu Ken) / GekiChopper (ゲキチョッパー, GekiChoppā)
The "Amazing Ability" (「アメイジング・アビリティ」, Ameijingu Abiriti), Ken is a practicioner of Fierce Beast Rhinoceros-Fist (激獣ライノセラス拳, Gekijū Rainoserasuken), a Fierce Beast-Fist style learned only by the best martial artists of Beast-Fist at the Beast Origin Village. He has been training away from Japan at the village, and returns to take up the reigns as the fifth Gekiranger GekiChopper. To transform into GekiChopper, Ken uses the SaiBlade.

Confrontation Beast-Fist Akugata

The Confrontation Beast-Fist Akugata (臨獣拳アクガタ, Rin Jūken Akugata) is the opposing school of Beast-Fist that gets energy from the suffering of others created by the Three Fist Demons (三拳魔, Sankenma). The main school is known as the Confrontation Beast Hall (臨獣殿, Rin Jū Den), where all of the dead users are brought back to the world of the living.

Rio (理央, Rio)
The leader of the Confrontation Beast Hall who is a Confrontation Beast Lion-Fist (臨獣ライオン拳, Rinjū Raionken) expert. He was originally a Fierce Beast-Fist artist under the tutelage of Sha-Fu, but severed his ties in exchange for power used by those of the Akugata. Most of his past is unknown, even to himself. He has since trained under the Fist Demons of the Sky and Sea to use his own hatred and envy to improve his own powers.
Mele (メレ, Mere)
A user of Confrontation Beast Chameleon-Fist (臨獣カメレオン拳, Rinjū Kamereonken). She was the first of the Rinrinshī brought back from the dead by Rio and has pledged her heart to him.

Phantom Beast-Fist

The Phantom Beast-Fist (幻獣拳, Gen Jūken) is the Beast-Fist which exceeds the Fierce Beast-Fist and the Confrontation Beast-Fist.
