Power Animals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Power Animals (パワーアニマル Pawā Animaru?) are a group of fictional creatures from the Super Sentai series Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger. The Power Animals are used by the main protagionists the Gaorangers to combat the Ogre Tribe Org.

The Power Animals are fully sentient physical manifestations of the planet's life energy and look metallic in their appearance due to the absorption of metals during their creation from the elements of the Earth. Each of the Gaoranger possess a totem Power Animal to whom their powers are based, as well as others that are acquired throughout the series. Each Power Animal possesses a Gao Jewel that it entrusts to the Gaoranger that it is bounded with. Most of the Power Animals acquired by the Gaorangers reside on the Heavenly Island Animarium (天空島 アニマリウム Tenkūjima Animariumu?). In the finale, all the Power Animals, along with the Gaorangers, used the most powerful attack they had ever used yet, the Hundred Beast Animal Heart to finally destroy Senki.

All of the Gaoranger mecha use the command "Hundred Beast Fusion" (百獣合体 Hyakujū Gattai?) to combine, with the exception of GaoHunter Evil, which used "Demon Beast Fusion" (魔獣合体 Majū Gattai?) instead. When an additional Power Animal is being added to a combination, the command "Hundred Beast Armament" (百獣武装 Hyakujū Busō?) is used. Although there are numerous Power Animal combinations, what is listed here in this section are the combinations that appeared in the show, the movie, and a few other sources. A list of all 100 Power Animals and design sketches for combinations which didn't appear in the show was included as part of an art book showing renderings of all Super Sentai mecha up through Hurricaneger. All 100 Power Animals appear in the last episode, but all of those that weren't seen before appear only as colorful spheres.

[edit] GaoKing

GaoKing (ガオキング Gao Kingu?): Called the "Spirit King", it is the combination of the five main Gaorangers’ totem Power Animals. GaoKing was first introduced in Episode 2 to fight against Barbwire Org. Its finishing attack is Heaven and Earth's Thunderous Roaring Animal Heart (天地轟鳴アニマルハート Tenchi Gō Na Animaru Hāto?) which is an energy blast fired from the mouths of the component Power Animals. It is upgraded to Super Animal Heart when they acquire the Soul Bird. The Fin Blade can also be used for a finisher attack called Surging Arrow by throwing the Fin Blade like an arrow.

    • GaoLion (ガオライオン Gao Raion?): GaoRed's totem Power Animal. Becomes GaoKing's upper torso or GaoKentaurus’ lower torso and feet.
    • GaoEagle (ガオイーグル Gao Īguru?): GaoYellow's totem Power Animal. It can transform into GaoKing's head or become a waist for the GaoMuscle/GaoKnight formations. It is able to fire Feather Bombs from its wings when not in formation.
    • GaoShark (ガオシャーク Gao Shāku?): GaoBlue's totem Power Animal. Becomes a right arm part. Its formation special attack is Shark Shot and its dorsal fin is used as a small knife-like weapon called the Fin Blade.
    • GaoBison (ガオバイソン Gao Baison?): GaoBlack's totem Power Animal. Becomes GaoKing's, GaoMuscle's, and GaoKnight's lower torso and feet. In other formations, it adds Another Foot to the name. Its formation special attack is called Bison Kick or Double Bison Kick.
    • GaoTiger (ガオタイガー Gao Taigā?): GaoWhite's totem Power Animal. Becomes a left arm part. Its formation special attack is called Tiger Attack, a punch attack that is usually used alongside GaoShark's Shark Shot.

[edit] Sword & Shield

GaoKing Sword & Shield (ガオキングソード&シールド Gao Kingu Sōdo ando Shīrudo?): Combination of GaoKing and GaoElephant, it is armed with the Elephant Sword and the Elephant Shield. Its finishing move is Evil Crusher.

  • GaoElephant (ガオエレファント Gao Erefanto?): One of GaoWhite's additional Power Animals, its jewel was embedded within a stone found with a scroll in a temple. GaoElephant rested within Lying Elephant Mountain until it was awoken by Tetomu. GaoElephant can transform into a sword and shield that can only be wielded by GaoShark and GaoTiger, which adds Sword & Shield to the name.

[edit] GaoMuscle

GaoMuscle (ガオマッスル Gao Massuru?): Called the "Muscular Warrior", it is the combination of GaoGorilla, GaoBear, GaoPolar, GaoBison & GaoEagle. GaoMuscle was first formed in Episode 10 to fight against Bulldozer Org after GaoLion was badly injured. It wields an anchor and chain, called the Muscle Anchor, and two shoulder cannons called the Muscle Crackers. It has the Muscle Bear Hug technique and its finishing moves are Muscle Lariat, where it strikes with energized punches, and Bear Strike, where blasts are fired from the mouths of GaoBear and GaoPolar.

  • GaoGorilla (ガオゴリラ Gao Gorira?): One of GaoRed's additional Power Animals. Becomes GaoMuscle’s upper torso and head. During the Gaorangers' journey to find the shining mushroom, GaoGorilla pulls them back in time to a period where a forest was still untouched by construction. It was awakened by a woman that the Gaorangers befriend and it travels back to the present time with the Gaorangers. Its special attack is Banana Bomb, where it throws explosive bananas at the enemy.
  • GaoBear (ガオベアー Gao Beā?): One of GaoYellow's additional Power Animals (he carries the jewels but gives them to Blue and White when used) who originally appeared as a mysterious boy in black. After GaoYellow retrieved flowers for GaoBear and his twin brother, GaoPolar, they gave him two seeds that turned into their Gao Jewels. GaoBear uses the power of fire and transforms into a left arm part. When added to a combination with GaoPolar, Double Knuckle (ダブルナックル Daburu Nakkuru?) is added to that formation's name. If only one is used, Knuckle is added, as seen in episode 38 when GaoBear was added alone with GaoKing. His specialty move with GaoPolar is Whirling Frenzy, where the two join their feet together and rapidly spin towards the enemy. GaoBear and GaoPolar didn't initially accept GaoLion, and GaoLion was injured.
  • GaoPolar (ガオポーラー Gao Pōrā?): One of GaoYellow's additional Power Animals who originally appeared as a mysterious boy in white. GaoPolar uses the power of ice and transforms into a right arm part.

[edit] Soul Bird

Pyo (ピヨちゃん Pyochan?) / Soul Bird (ソウルバード Souru Bādo?): Referred to as the "Gao Heart", the Soul Bird is special creature that can increase the power of the Gaorangers' Power Animal combinations, excluding GaoHunter. Originally the shining mushroom, it transformed into an egg which then hatched into a small blue bird that Kakeru named Pyo. In episode 14, Pyo evolved into the Soul Bird in order to heal the Power Animals and help the Gaorangers defeat Shuten. Since then the Soul Bird has been used as the cockpit in the formations, through the "Soul Drive". When used with GaoKing, Animal Heart is upgraded to Super Animal Heart, where the blast attack is not only shot from the Power Animal's mouths, but from a cannon inside the Soul Bird as well. In the Gaoranger Vs. Super Sentai Movie, Super Animal Heart was enhanced by the power from the giant robots of the previous Sentai teams during the battle against Rakushaasa. In episode 27, when Vase Org transported GaoKing and GaoHunter into another dimension, a feather from Pyo escaped and became Yo, an evil, red-eyed version of Pyo, while in place of the trapped Pyo, a pure good Pi was left. Eventually, Tetomu convinced Yo to help the Gaorangers and become the Soul Bird and GaoMuscle Striker was formed for the first time. After the Vase Org was defeated, the two Soul Birds became one again.

  • Pi: The pure good version of Pyo.
  • Yo: The evil, red-eyed version of Pyo

[edit] GaoHunter

GaoHunter (ガオハンター Gao Hantā?): Combination of GaoSilver's Power Animals. It is armed with the Crescent Boomerang and Ligator Blade. 1,000 years ago, it was powered up by the Orgs’ evil energy and used the attack Hundred Beast Storm to kill Hyakkimaru. It became the cursed GaoHunter Evil (Gao Hantā Aku), the "Wicked King", and the Power Animals that comprise the formation became Demon Beasts. In its cursed form, it has a horn and its face is hidden. GaoHunter Evil made it's debut in episode 17 when Loki demonstrated the ability to combine his three Power Animals when facing against GaoKing. As GaoHunter Evil, it is able to perform the Evil 16-Day Old Moon Cut. After the Dark Wolf Mask was broken by GaoKing Striker and Shirogane transformed into GaoSilver in Episode 24, GaoHunter’s horn dissolved and his true face was revealed. In this form, it is referred to as GaoHunter Justice (Gao Hantā Justice), the "Hunter of Justice". Its finishing moves are Beast Hurricane, a blast attack from GaoLigator's mouth, similar to GaoKing's Animal Heart, and Revolver Phantom, where it dashes into its opponent with a spinning Ligator Blade. It is also able to perform combination attacks with other formations, such as Animal Burst with GaoKing and Double God Impact with GaoGod. In Episode 40, after GaoGod took away the other Gaorangers Power Animals, GaoHunter had to battle alone against Tinplate Org. But with the energy that the other Gaorangers drew in from their totem Power Animals, GaoHunter was temporarily powered up into GaoHunter Blue Moon (Gao Hantā Burū Moon), a form where GaoLigator turns blue and GaoHunter’s eyes glow green. As Blue Moon, "Blue" preceeds the standard attack names, and GaoHunter is able to perform the "Crecent Moon Cut". Its finishing move is Blue Moon Heart.

  • GaoWolf (ガオウルフ Gao Urufu?): GaoSilver's totem Power Animal. Acts as a left arm part. Its formation special attack is Wolf Attack. It can also combine with other mecha when the GaoHunter formation is not possible, adding the name Another Arm (アナザーアーム Anazā Amu). GaoWolf can also transform into GaoSilver's wolf-themed motorcycle, the Wolf Roader (ウルフローダー Urufu Rōdā?).
  • GaoHammerhead (ガオハンマーヘッド Gao Hanmāheddo?): One of GaoSilver's additional Power Animals. Acts as a right arm part. Its formation special attack is Hammer Shot. Like GaoWolf, it can also combine with another mecha if the GaoHunter formation is not possible.
  • GaoLigator (ガオリゲーター Gao Rigātā?): One of GaoSilver's additional Power Animals. It becomes GaoHunter’s main body and feet. Its tail combines with GaoHammerhead's dorsal fin to become the Ligator Blade weapon for GaoHunter.

[edit] GaoGod

GaoGod (ガオゴッド Gao Goddo?): The "God of the Power Animals" ( Pawā Animaru no Kami?), comprised of the five God Power Animals. Tetomu refers to it as Wild God (荒神様 Aragami-sama?). As GaoGod, his attacks are Wild God Sword and Power Arrow, where he shoots his sword like an arrow. He was used by the ancient Gaorangers and was made from older versions of the current Gaorangers’ totem Power Animals. He was killed 1,000 years ago by Hyakkimaru, which forced Shirogane to don the Dark Wolf Mask. In the present day, he appeared in spirit form to help the Gaorangers restore Shirogane to normal, including temporarily eclipsing the full moon which caused Loki to temporarily revert back to Shirogane. Later, as GaoRed & GaoSilver were fighting Ura, he took the form of the human boy Futaro (風太郎 Fūtarō?) and guided the four Gaorangers in the afterlife. When they awakened GaoFalcon and were resurrected, he was as well. As Futaro, he was unaware of his true form at first, but slowly began to remember after meeting his old friend, Shirogane, and listening to Tetomu perform Muraski’s song. After seeing how the humans had polluted Earth, he transformed into GaoGod and took the Power Animals from the Gaorangers, deeming that humanity does not deserve their help because humans are wasteful creatures and only pollute the Earth. But after the Gaorangers showed their will to protect the Earth and its creatures, he returned to fight alongside GaoHunter Blue Moon. He returned the Power Animals and left the duty to protect the Earth in the hands of the Gaorangers. He later returned to notify the Gaorangers of the final Org, and again to help Tetomu in sealing the Matrix and in the fight against Senki. In the movie, he was piloted by GaoSilver. Its finishing attack is the Heaven's Punishment Power Arrow (天誅パワーアロー Tenchū Pawā Arō?). The Power Animals that comprise GaoGod are termed the God Power Animals (ゴッドパワーアニマル Goddo Pawā Animaru?).

  • GaoLeon (ガオレオン Gao Reon?): Forms the torso. Black version of GaoLion.
  • GaoCondor (ガオコンドル Gao Kondoru?): Forms the head. Blue bird similar to GaoEagle. The parts on its tail that become the horns on GaoGod's helmet are used as the bow for the Power Arrow.
  • GaoSawshark (ガオソーシャーク Gao Sōshāku?): Forms the right arm. Red shark with a saw bill that is used as GaoGod’s sword. Similar to GaoShark.
  • GaoBuffalo (ガオバッファロー Gao Baffarō?): Forms the legs. Similar to GaoBison.
  • GaoJaguar (ガオジャガー Gao Jagā?): Forms the left arm. Similar to GaoTiger.

[edit] GaoKnight

GaoKnight (ガオナイト Gao Naito?): Called the "Fiery Spirit Knight", it is the combination of GaoKong, GaoEagle, GaoShark, GaoTiger, GaoBison, and GaoElephant along with Soul Bird. Its finishing move is Big Burn Final. This and GaoKong are exclusive only to the Gaoranger movie.

  • GaoKong (ガオコング Gao Kongu?): A red version of GaoGorilla that is the guardian of the island. Its Gao Jewel was formed when the two pieces of the ruby were joined on an alter during three simultaneous eclipses, and it was then awakened from the volcano. It attacks with flaming palm trees.

[edit] GaoIcarus

GaoIcarus (ガオイカロス Gao Ikarosu?): Called the "Heavenly Spirit King", it is the combination of GaoFalcon, GaoGiraffe, GaoDeers, GaoRhinos, and GaoMadillo. GaoIcarus first appeared in Episode 31 to fight against Ultimate Form Ura. It is capable of flight by using GaoFalcon's wings, or it can use them as a shield, called Defense Mode. The eye designs on GaoFalcon’s wings are able to freeze an Org in place with the Icarus Bind technique. Its finishing move is Icarus Dynamite, which is an enhanced version of Rhino Shoot that is performed as a flip kick from midair. Once when all the other Power Animals but GaoFalcon that make up GaoIcarus were badly damaged from Steam Engine Org, GaoFalcon fused with GaoWolf, GaoHammerhead, and GaoBison to create GaoIcarus Another Foot and Arm (ガオイカロスアナザーフット&アーム Gao Ikarosu Anazā Futto ando Āmu?). In this form, it is also armed with the Ligator Blade and its finishing move is called Icarus Breaker, where GaoIcarus dashes forward and drives the Crescent Boomerang into the enemy with the Ligator Blade.

  • GaoFalcon (ガオファルコン Gao Farukon?): The Ultimate Power Animal which is one of GaoRed's additional Power Animals. It is summoned by the Falcon Summoner, comes out of a volcano as a fiery bird, similar to the Phoenix. Becomes GaoIcarus or GaoKentaurus’s upper torso and head. After Ura killed all the Gaorangers except for GaoRed and GaoSilver, the other Gaorangers in the afterlife were able to put a puzzle together that not only awakened GaoFalcon, but it also returned them to life.
  • GaoGiraffe (ガオジュラフ Gao Jurafu?): GaoBlue's additional Power Animal. Transforms into a right arm part where its head is covered by a pointed helmet and it is used as the Giraffe Spear weapon. It was originally in the form of a crane and sent dreams to Kai where GaoKing was no match for Boat Org and that they needed the “spotted spear” to win. When the dream began to come true, Tetomu realized that a Power Animal was calling to him. When GaoBlue called out to the Power Animal, the crane he used earlier during their fight against Boat Org revealed its true form as GaoGiraffe, adding the word Spear (スピアー Supiā) when used with the GaoKing, GaoHunter, or GaoMuscle formations. Its finishing move is Neck Thrust, where its head is fired from its neck, and the enemy is pierced by its helmet. GaoGiraffe made a cameo in Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger.
  • GaoMadillo (ガオマジロ Gao Majiro?): One of GaoBlack's additional Power Animals. He, along with GaoRhinos, was summoned by GaoBison to help against Loki after GaoBison was badly injured by Lawnmower Org. GaoMadillo originally appeared in a miniaturized form when it gave their jewels to GaoBlack. When used in combination with GaoRhinos, GaoMadillo goes into GaoRhinos's right foot. GaoMadillo was once used by GaoKing Another Arm as a bowling ball for the Tornado GaoMadillo Spin technique in order to counter Bowling Org's bowling ball.
  • GaoRhinos (ガオライノス Gao Rainosu?): One of GaoBlack's additional Power Animals. Becomes the lower torso and feet for GaoIcarus. It arrived after GaoMadillo gave their two Gao Jewels to GaoBlack. The two often replace GaoBison and GaoEagle as legs for GaoKing and GaoMuscle, adding the word Striker (ストライカー Sutoraikā?). GaoRhinos’ formation special moves are Rhino Kick and Striker Bomber, where GaoMuscle Striker rapidly spins and delivers punches to the enemy. Its finishing move is Rhino Shoot, where GaoMadillo crawls out of GaoRhinos and curls up into a ball that is kicked at the opponent like a soccer ball.
  • GaoDeers (ガオディアス Gao Diasu?): One of GaoWhite's Additional Power Animals. Transforms into a left arm part where its antlers are used as a weapon, called the Deer’s Scissors. In the past, Shirogane and Murasaki used to play music for it. But after Murasaki's throat was injured by some Orgettes, it became angry at Shirogane for failing to protect Murasaki and left. With some help from Tetomu, GaoSilver was able to play for GaoDeers once again and it gave Tetomu its jewel. Afterwards, Tetomu gave its jewel to GaoWhite. It was able to heal the injured Power Animals with its special power, called Deer’s Healing and it can also bind Orgs with an attack called Capture Ring. When used with GaoKing or GaoMuscle, it adds the word Cross Horn (クロスホーン Kurosu Hōn?) to that formation’s name. Its finishing moves are Bubble Capture and Horn Crash.

[edit] GaoKentaurus

GaoKentaurus (ガオケンタウロス Gao Kentaurosu?): Called the "Great Hero", it is the combination of GaoFalcon, GaoShark, GaoTiger, GaoElephant, and the giant GaoLion. In Episode 43, when Dorodoro trapped the Gaorangers in hell where the spirits of the previous fallen Orgs were, they were unable to summon their Power Animals when Dorodoro became giant. At that time, Tetomu was Rasetsu's prisoner who wanted her to cook for him, but she was then rescued by the totem Power Animals. Remembering how the Gaorangers loved her cooking, she casts a spell on a piece of food and sends it into GaoLion's mouth causing it to grow several kilometers. GaoFalcon then combined with GaoLion and the others, and they crossed into the dimension where the Gaorangers were fighting. GaoKentaurus then destroyed the spirits of the fallen Orgs and Dorodoro. GaoKentaurus was also used to finish off Rasetsu in the following battle with the finishing move Dance of the Beast King.

[edit] Others

In the final episode, four Power Animals are seen among the 100 in the orbs. GaoMouse, GaoPeacock, GaoStingray, and GaoHorse.

  • GaoPanda (ガオパンダ?): Exclusive only to the Gao Access CD. It had a "Bamboo Hurricane" attack. It quickly disappeared after it arrived.
  • Flame Pyo (炎のピヨちゃん Honō no Pyochan?): A red version of Pyo that appeared in the Gaoranger vs. GaoSilver special. After it hatched, it split into six Gao Hearts for the Gaorangers.
  • GaoMuscle Shark & Tiger (ガオマッスルシャーク&タイガー GaoMassuru Shāku ando Taigā?) / GaoCracker (ガオクラッカー Gao Kurakkā?): It is where GaoShark and GaoTiger could replace GaoBear and GaoPolar in the GaoMuscle formation. While the official art book lists this formation as GaoMuscle Shark & Tiger, many resources call this formation GaoCracker. Although there was an official picture in the Super Sentai Robo Art Collection, it never appeared on the show.

[edit] Some of the Hundred Beasts

Pictures and text surrounding this table in the book depict and describe several of the unused Power Animals. "Young" Power Animals, such as Soulbird, do not appear on the list, but two others shown and described include KoWallaby (considered part of Power Animal #26 GaoWallaby) and Mini Manta (considered part of Power Animal #29 GaoManta). There are also two distinct versions of Power Animal #31 GaoBat, a "good" version and and "evil" version.

  • GaoPeacock (ガオピーコック Gaopīkokku?): This is the most well described and depicted additional Power Animal. GaoPeacock attaches to GaoKing's back to form GaoKing Swordmaster (ガオキングソードマスター Gaokingu Sōdomasutā?). GaoPeakock's tail can shift from an at-rest tail-like possition on GaoKing Swordmaster to a position faned out behind its back from which weapons may be drawn. The centermost "feather" of the tail becomes a sword, the two "feathers" immediately next to it on either side combine into a double-headed sickle weapon, the next pair of "feathers" are a pair of smaller swords, and the final outer-most "feathers" become a three-section staff. GaoShark or GaoTiger appear to be necessary arms in the combination to hold the weapons normally. GaoPeacock's wings are half retracted behind the combinations shoulders, but are shown to be optionally able to extend fully.
  • GaoKing Varlituder (ガオキングヴァーリトゥーダー Gaokingu Vāritūdā?): This combination is essentially GaoKing Striker Double-Knuckle Swordmaster with GaoCobra (ガオコブラ Gaokobura?) in its foot in place of GaoMadillo (which is standard for the Striker legs). Additional parts are shown attached to GaoBear and GaoPolar to enable the use of the Swordmaster weapons from GaoPeacock, but it is not specified whether these are optional parts of GaoPeacock or parts of GaoCobra. GaoCobra separated from the combination is not shown.
  • GaoWallaby (ガオワラビー Gaowarabī?): From text, GaoWallaby is apparently an adult female Wallaby with a pouch, and carries KoWallaby (子ワラビー KoWarabii?) (the Japanese prefix ko- indicates a child version as in the term koneko for kitten), though a picture of the two separated from a combination is not shown. GaoWallaby forms shoulder cannons and a left gauntlet on GaoMuscle Magnum (ガオマッスルマグナム Gaomassuru Magunamu?) and KoWallaby forms a right gauntlet/cannon on the combination.
  • GaoGuardian (ガオガーディアン Gaogādian?): A completely new combination formed from GaoPeacock (back and part of torso), GaoWallaby (forming both the torso and legs), KoWallaby (forming the head), GaoTortoise (ガオトータス Gaotōtasu?) (forming the left arm), and GaoToppy (ガオトッピー Gaotoppī?) (forming the right arm). Neither GaoTortoise nor GaoToppy's arm forms are shown as having hands as detail shots are shown of the blade weapons on each, and no method for employing the Swordmaster weapons is shown or mentioned.
  • GaoManta (ガオマンタ Gaomanta?): Both GaoManta and Mini Manta (ミニマンタ Minimanta?) are shown separated as well as in combinations (it should be noted that GaoManta, Mini Manta, and GaoStingray from the finale are all three pictured and discussed in text, and that Mini Manta should not be confused with GaoStingray). GaoManta attaches to GaoKing's back with it's detached tail forming a new large sword held by the GaoShark arm to form GaoKing Aquadiver (ガオキングアクアダイバー Gaokingu Akuadaibā?). Mini Manta's placement, if any, on this combination is not visible nor mentioned in the text.
  • GaoBoar (ガオボアー Gaoboā?): GaoBoar has a spinning joint located in its forehead and pulls a cart that is equipped with two large cannons and carries a pair of drill attachments. A drill can be attached to the joint in GaoBoar's forehead. GaoBoar becomes a left arm on GaoMuscle with a drill attached, and the cart becomes back-mounted shoulder cannons to form GaoMuscle Longhorn. Specifically, GaoMuscle Striker Longhorn (ガオマッスルストライカーロングホーン Gaomassuru Sutoraikā Ronguhōn?) is depicted and named.
  • GaoBat (ガオバット Gaobatto?): The good version of GaoBat splits to form a right arm and wings on GaoHunter, forming GaoHunter Phantom (ガオハンターファントム Gaohantā Fantomu?).
