History YMMV / JukenSentaiGekiranger

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Gou Fukami exemplies this for being the very first Violet Ranger. He debuted mid-season.
* EvilIsCool: Rio is one of the villains in this show, but his cool, arrogant character, his sheer martial arts prowess, his monster form, his wardrobe and his redemption leaves many fans awed by him.

* EvilIsSexy: Mele is a hot-as-hell undead girl[[note]]Played by Hirata Yuka, a ''gravure idol''.[[/note]] in a {{Stripperiffic}} [[ChineseGirl China dress]] with leather straps as part of the clothing.

* FanNickname: Gou received the nickname "523" (''Go-Ni-San'') in Japan, as he was most often referred to in the show as "Gou Nii-san" (Older Brother Gou) by Retsu.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:Long the Infernal Dragon is the true leader of the Genjūken. Growing bored of his ancient immortal life, Long manipulates humanity and is responsible for hundreds of years of war and strife. Eventually deciding to destroy the world to alleviate his boredom, Long tries to corrupt Maku into the god of destruction, succeeding in turning him to the dark side, though his omnicidal goals are stopped. Trying the same with Jan and Rio, years later, Long destroys their hometown, killing Jan's parents and brainwashing the soul of his dead father into becoming one of his generals and trying to get him to murder his own son. Also corrupting Rio, Long acts as his right-hand-man, while truly guiding him down the path of evil in the hopes of cultivating the destruction he desires]].

* EvilIsCool: Rio is one of the villains in this show, but his cool, arrogant character, sheer martial arts prowess and his wardrobe makes him a very memorable villain.

* EvilIsCool: Rio.

* FoeYay: Long and Rio. There is a spread of them in a magazine somewhere where Long is... well, VERY touchy-feely. Also, on another level, Rio and Gou, considering that they used to be quite close...

* CrazyAwesome: Jan has a few moments.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR7ftRGYsOg The Opening]]. It... just ''has'' to be the best of SS openings ever.

* EarWorm: "Kageki!". Oh lord, the HotBlooded lyrics; you can ''feel'' the heat just from listening!
--> "''[[SuperMode Super Gekiranger]]!''\\
[[GratuitousEnglish Fighter of Wild Heart]]\\
''Show them your [[HotBlooded Extreme]] [[{{Kiai}} Geki]]''\\
''Su-per- Ge-ki-ran-ger!''"
** The snazzy jazz of an eargasm that is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHzO9zCLKl0 Gekiviolet's theme]].

** Jin is a RookieRedRanger who was [[RaisedByWolves raised in the wild]], new to modern civilization, and his orphan backstory was caused by the series' main antagonist. [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Another rare moment where Power Rangers did it first]].

** After finding out that Suugu is none other than the soul of [[spoiler: Jan's father Dan]], from episode 40 - 44 Jan tries to do everything to get Suugu to remember his past life. It all culminates in 45 where Jan [[spoiler: must destroy Suugu in order to free his father's soul. Jan follows through tearfully and his father's soul is freed]].

* CounterpartComparison: There's a very obvious parallel between [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-O]] and Gekiranger, both of which aired in 2007. In Gekiranger, the team is made up of 5 people in Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, and White. In Den-O, the team is made up of 1 person with other people in him corresponding to the colors Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, and White (for Wing Form). Also, in both shows, [[TheRival the Rival]] has the colors Green and Black related to them in some way.

* AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR7ftRGYsOg The Opening]]. It... just ''has'' to be the best of SS openings ever.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: For a Sentai series with less-than-impressive ratings (ending with a 5.2% series average) and low toy sales in its home country, Western Sentai fans ''really'' love Gekiranger, with many calling it the best Sentai.
** Moreover, unlike Japan, Gekiranger was overwhelmingly successful in terms of toy sales and TV ratings in Korea.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:Rio's and Mele's deaths in episode 48.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: In addition what he did under the CompleteMonster entry, Long also crosses it when he kills Mele]]

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: [[BigBad Long]] the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Infinity Dragon]] has to remove all worldly attachments from a person by systematically destroying everything they love in order to create the god of destruction and destroy the world. He did it four thousand years ago to Maku, causing the original rebellion, the Kensei had to use a forbidden technique and be turned into animals before he could destroy the world. Years later, Long destroys Jan and Rio's hometown. Jan loses his mother, forcing him to be raised in the jungle. Rio is taken in by Master Shafu, but eventually turns away and seeks evil power to get revenge on anyone. His motivation is [[ForTheEvulz boredom]], and since [[AGodAmI he's an ancient being]], he thinks he has all the rights to manipulate these lesser creatures for his own amusement at their expense.]]

* HarsherinHindsight: In its 1st episode (episode 2), the mecha is in ankle deep water... while standing in the middle of the city during the monster fight. Fun unique visual when the episode aired Feburary 25, 2007, NOT after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and the resultant tsunami.

* FetishFuel: Mele already with her appearance, but when Long captures and ties her up with spread-eagle, not only it turns on BDSM fetishes, it lets you view her delicious armpits. Which gets viewed A LOT.
** Cherry, from that trio of thieves that appears on episode 36 and shows attraction for Retsu may count. Her dress and the way she shows her legs are very hot.
