• Beware the Nice Ones: Although he clears them of piracy charges, he warns them that should they abuse the Dekaranger powers, he won't show as much mercy as Doggie did.

When asked to join, Don at first declines, but after realizing how strong the other 3 Gokaigers are, he decides to join Ahim. After the two get a distress call, Jan tells the two that their training is over.

After the Gokaigers defeat Bowser, Gao Lion accepts the Gokaigers as heroes and joins forces with them. At the end, Kakeru wishes his old partner luck in the upcoming battles against the Zangyack.

• Call to Agriculture: Inverted. Kakeru was a veterinarian well before the events of Gaoranger, and merely went back to that life.

Gao Lion

The original Gao Lion, Gao Red's Power Animal partner, who fought alongside the Gaorangers. After the Gokaigers stumble across him, he is at first hostile to them, until they prove themselves and he decides to lend them his power. He combines with GokaiOh to become GaoGokaiOh, a formation similar to GaoKentaurus, and then later receives the ability to form ShinkenGokaiOh, similar to ShinkenOh, from the Shinkenger Ranger Keys.

• Composite Character: He doubles as the mecha representative for both Gaoranger and Shinkenger, subbing in for Shishi Origami from the latter.
• King of Beasts: His form is based on a lion and he's Gao Red's partner and the mightiest of the Gao Animals, fitting for Gao Red being the leader of the Gaorangers.
• Mechanical Lifeform: Like the other Power Animals in Gaoranger.
• A Mech by Any Other Name: He's the original Gao Lion as opposed to a creation of the Ranger Keys, and a mystical Power Animal to boot. Thus, he counts as an actual returning character.

The Shinkengers

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger

The Samurai of Wood. Appears (out of suit) in 199 Heroes during the Legend War.

However, after seeing the teamwork and bond the Gokaigers share, she changes her mind and gives to Joe a Double Hiden Disk.

• Cute Bruiser: Hasn't lost her edge even after stepping down. Heck, if anything she's become more confident.
• Honor Before Reason: Prevents Tanba from stealing back the Shinkenger keys despite the fact that the Gokaigers are sleeping and the chest to Ranger Keys are within reach.
• Paper Fan of Doom: Although she doesn't have her large paper fan anymore, she still keeps one handy whenever Tanba gets out of hand.
• Took a Level in Badass: Character-wise. While her skills are just as sharp as ever, she displays much more confidence compared to The Stoic and withdrawn princess of the past. The fact that she gets more time to display her swordsmanship definitely helps.

Tanba Toshizo | Actor: Kazuyuki Matsuzawa

Kaoru's retainer, who speaks highly of her and denounces anyone who he feels is being rude to her.

• Butt-Monkey: He can mouth-off all he wants but he's still at the mercy of his princess, who isn't afraid to smack him with a paper fan when he's getting unruly.
• Jerkass: He is just as loud and self-righteous as before. If anything, the fact he's dealing with "rude" pirates means that he probably feels more in the right to talk down to the Gokaigers.
• No Indoor Voice: He never modulates his voice, ever.

The Carrangers

Gekisou Sentai Carranger

The 20th Super Sentai team, formed in 1996.

• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Instead of letting his ranger image vanish alone, Kyousuke instead slaps it down.
• Butt-Monkey: Even Navi says the Carrangers' powers are useless!
• Large Ham: He turns traffic safety into an all-out melodrama.
• Love Triangle: Finds himself caught up in one between Insarn and Action Commander Jellacit.
• Medium Awareness: Considering which Super Sentai he's from, it's not surprising.
• Mythology Gag: Apparently it doesn't matter what team he's referring to. He'll extend the first syllable of the name anyway.
  • Also, a villainess falls in love with him again.
• Older and Wiser: Subverted - he's older, but not much wiser than he was in Carranger.
• Super-Speed: Despite not having his Red Racer powers anymore, he is shown to have running powers when the Gokaigers ran away after declining to help with his traffic safety class.

• Sixth Ranger: Of his team.

• Anime Hair: Like Ban, this was one of his defining traits. And like Ban, it's averted this time around as well.
• Badass Normal: Taking on the Uguts without his powers, which doubles as a Call-Back to the original incident when the Engines picked him to join.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: Not only his hair is still black, like how it was during Shinkenger VS Go-onger, it has mellowed out quite a bit from the Anime Hair it was before.
• Idiot Hero: To the extent that he tries to leap into an interdimensional tear via pole vault and trampoline. Is he making up for Gunpei's absence?

• Backup from Otherworld: He didn't come back to help the Gokaiger, but the original Jetman, to prevent them from being pulled into the fight. Despite being dead, he's more than capable of fighting and can even transform into Black Condor.
• Chess with Death: He is at the beginning playing a card game with a woman who is later implied to be God. Dialogue suggests that winning the hand is apparently what allows him to leave the bar.
• Continuity Nod: Gai sits on the same bench where he died in the end of Jetman, and mentions how beautiful the sky is, which were some of his last words.
• Cool Sword: Bringer Sword.
• Expy: As per the original Jetman, Gai is based off of Joe the Condor from Gatchaman.
• Grave-Marking Scene: It's shown that his former teammates have recently left presents by his graveside (including an Ako-chan noodle cup), implying that they still visit it regularly.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: More "I Just Want My Friends To Be Normal", part of the reason he returns to Earth is to keep the Gokaigers from drawing his teammates away from their normal lives.
  • This also has a subtle Call-Back and Fridge Brilliance to the non-canon Jetman manga, when in the beginning, Ryuu mentioned that he felt that Gai is watching over the Jetmen from the skies, protecting them. Turns out he REALLY is.
• I See Dead People: The Gokaiger, the Monster of the Week and the Gormins see and interact with him as normal, but Gai Ikari just sees them talking to and flailing around at empty air. When he learns who they're speaking with, he's very upset that he's missing the chance to meet another legendary Ranger and theorizes that only he was unable to see him because he's an Earthling while everyone else is of alien nature.
• Mundane Afterlife: Gai's heaven is apparently a jazz club where he gets to sit and play poker with a beautiful woman (who is none other than God - or at least, how s/he appears to him) for all eternity. He seems quite happy with it.
  • At one point, we see a door marked "Heaven" and not much to let us know what's through it. The scene implies that he could cross over but does not in order to continue watching over his friends.

Shiro Akebono/Battle Kenya | Actor: Kenji Ohba

A wild child from the Battle Fever team. Appears in episode 44, where he acts as Santa Claus. He also appears in Gokaiger vs. Gavan, where he tells the Gokaigers that using his Ranger Key with the Denzi Blue Key will allow them to enter the Makuu Space Prison.

• The Cameo: Only appears in two scenes of the Christmas Episode, and you don't realize it's him until the very end, being the most blink-and-miss of the sentai legends, but worry not: he gets more screentime in Gokaiger vs. Gavan.
• Speaks Fluent Animal: Shiro can talk to animals, and his appearances in Gokaiger show him hanging around with a panda (well, more like a guy in a panda suit, but still...).

Ninjaman | Voice Actor: Kazuki Yao

Ally to the Kakurangers and a former pupil of the Sanshinshou. Appears in episodes 45 & 46.

• Deader than Dead: A bit of Ascended Fridge Horror, since the Gokaigers discussed that this would have been his fate if Domon hadn't sent the Gokaigers to the past and protected Negakure Temple. That, or...
• Forgot About His Powers: In Kakuranger, he was capable of growing giant-size on his own to fight alongside the mecha. In #46, the Kakuranger Grand Power is needed to make him giant, and he never changes into Samuraiman.
  • Of course, the monster didn't call him "Blue Squirt"...
• It Was with You All Along: HE is the Kakuranger Grand Power. Even Ninjaman himself was surprised.
• Sealed Good in a Can: He's stuck in his jar in the Negakure Temple when the Gokaigers found him.
• Sixth Ranger: To the Kakurangers, which made his absence during the Legend War rather peculiar (especially after 199 Heroes revealed that some of the other oddball heroes, such as Signalman and Zubaan, also participated in the battle - his absence was explained in-series, however; see What the Hell, Hero?).
• The Thing That Would Not Leave: How some of the Gokaigers (with the obvious exception of Gai) feel after having Ninjaman stay in the Galleon for a week.
• A Twinkle in the Sky: After a truck crashes into him.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Never appears in the final two episodes; the least the Gokaigers could do was call on him for extra giant muscle during the invasion.
• What the Hell, Hero?: The Sanshinshō put him back in his jar for 10 years as punishment for going overboard while trying to save a girl from rampaging zoo animals.
  • He gives himself one of these when he learns that this lead to him not being there when his comrades and the entire Earth needed him in the Legend War.
