Geki Jūken Beast Arts (激獣拳ビーストアーツ Geki Jūken Bīsuto Ātsu , "Fierce Beast-Fist Beast Arts") is a fictional school of martial arts practiced by the protagonists of the Japanese Super Sentai show Juken Sentai Gekiranger. Those that practice Geki Jūken use a form of Qi within their bodies that manifests their passion for justice, called Geki (激気(げき) , "Fierce Qi"), as their power source. The ultimate form of Geki is the Kageki (過激気(かげき) , "Extreme Qi"), which can manifest if the user mastered different aspects of the triangle and selflessly has the intent to protect others at mind. The sporting goods company SCRTC (スクラッチ Sukuratchi , pronounced like the English word scratch) serves as a front for the martial arts school, specifically its Gekirangers.
When transformed into the Gekirangers, the group says "Our blazing Geki is the proof of justice! Juken Sentai Gekiranger!" (燃え立つ激気は正義の証!獣拳戦隊ゲキレンジャー! Moetatsu Gekiwa seigi no akashi! Jūken Sentai Gekirenjā! ). When having transformed into the Super Gekirangers, the group says "Our boiling Kageki flows toward justice! Juken Sentai Gekiranger!" (たぎる過激気は正義の為に!獣拳戦隊ゲキレンジャー! Tagiru Kageki wa seigi no tame ni! Jūken Sentai Gekirenjā! ).
Jyan Kandou/Geki Red (漢堂 ジャン/ゲキレッド Kandō Jan/Geki Reddo ) practices the Geki Jū Tiger-Ken (激獣タイガー拳 Geki Jū Taigāken ) style, though still a beginner, his main focus is on power and Hu Quan moves. He is a Feral child who was raised by the tigers deep within the forest near the Beast Origin Village (獣源郷 Jūgenkyō ). The son of Dan, Jyan was the sole surviving member of the nearby village that was destroyed by Long. Long had intended to kill Jyan in order to prevent Rio from fighting him, since Rio would undoubtably see Jyan as a potential rival since Dan is his father. But the pain of his mother's death before his eyes while holding on to dear life on the rapids blocked out his entire childhood memory prior to being raised in the wild. Because of his lineage, his senses have been sharply enhanced to feel qi like Xia Fu, who scouted Jyan as he personifies the "Body" (体 Tai , also pronounced as Karada) of a Gekiranger: Resistance to most forms of pain. This selection is strengthened when Jyan emits Gekiwhile giving off a "Tiger's Roar" when the Akugata began to attack. Although at first he doesn't understand certain concepts or training, he eventually picks up and learns about it at a fairly high pace. He does not know very many common words so he sometimes describes things with words such as "niki-niki", "zowa-zowa", "waki-waki", his own personal "Jyan-ish" language. As he was raised by animals, he does not know and has to learn about the "Heart". Jyan is eventually labeled as Rio's rival after witnessing the display of power used to stop his own attack. He becomes Sharkie Chan's first student of the Geki Jū Shark-Ken (激獣シャーク拳 Geki Jū Shākuken ) sword-fighting style. Though Jan possesses the Kageki (過激気 Kageki ), he is unable to fully use it in his first fight with Rio.
Jyan competes with Gorie Yen in a coin-stacking competition to improve his "Heart" to try to achieve the Kageki, but he fails because when he tells Gorie that he practices Geki Jūken to become stronger, Gorie says that Jyan is no better than Rio for following a similar ideology. Yet, once Jyan realizes that his reason is to fight in order to protect others, he is able to transform into Super Geki Red (スーパーゲキレッド Sūpā Geki Reddo ), using the Geki Jū Gorilla-Ken (激獣ゴリラ拳 Geki Jū Goriraken ) style and is the "Extremely Unbreakable Body" (「過激にアンブレイカブル・ボディ」 Kageki ni Anbureikaburu Bodi ).
After the Gekirangers, Rio and Mere are exposed to SaiDain's Beast Power Bloom, Jyan is the first among the Gekirangers to realize how much stronger they all have become, pushing back Maku by himself as well as utilizing the Kageki Hard Diamond technique by himself. At first, Jyan decides that he can't fight anymore after learning the truth behind his relation to Rio and Dan, but learning more about his family with Xia Fu's help enables Jyan to resume his role as a Gekiranger, making an enemy out of Long. He and Rio have their destined battle, with Jyan the victor until he realizes that he is not really fighting Rio, but something else entirely. When Jyan regains his memories, he vows to make Long pay for what he did to his friends and family, managing to beat sense into Rio and give him a path of his own as they both save Mere and join forces in fighting their mutual enemy. After Long's defeat, Jyan invites both Rio and Mere to SCRTC, despite protests from both Ran and Retu. When both Rio and Mere decide to undergo the Fist Judgment to cleanse themselves of their sins while in the Rin Jū Hall, Jyan tries to talk the both of them out of it in vain, learning later that Rio and Mere intended to die. In memory of Rio's final act, Jyan wears the Kenmas' Bracelet and vows to destroy Long once and for all.
During the final battle, after being infused with Maku's Rinki, Jyan is taken to an astral Rin Jū Hall along with Ran and Retu, where they are met by Rio and Mere. It is there that Jyan masters the Rin Jū Bear-Ken (臨獣ベアー拳 Rinjū Beāken ) style, unifying both Geki Jū and Rin Jū Styles. With his and the others' newfound skills, he goes on to defeat Long, sealing him in a small ball, which Jyan keeps on his person to ensure that Long's power never falls into the wrong hands. He then leaves SCRTC to travel the world to find the next generation of Juken fighters, saying his final farewells to his comrades. While teaching the Beast Fist to kids in Hong Kong, he runs into a boy who looks similar to Rio and decides to take him under his wing. Returning to Japan, Jyan is ambushed by Nuchaku Banki before he, Ran, and Retu are trapped in the subspace before the Go-ongers come to their aid. After his new friends lost their Engines, and being tricked into giving away the sealed Long, Jyan helps Sōsuke train until he found his own Firece Ki before Long's is able to partially manifest. But with the revived Rio's aid, Long is defeated as Jyan reaffirms their vow on the day Rio died to get stronger before the next time they meet.
After transforming into Geki Red, Jyan says, "In my body flows infinite power. 'Unbreakable Body,' Geki Red!" (体にみなぎる無限の力 「アンブレイカブル・ボディ」 ゲキレッド! Karada ni minagiru mugen no chikara. "Anbureikaburu Bodi," Geki Reddo! ). After transforming into Super Geki Red, Jyan says, "'Extremely Unbreakable Body,' Super Geki Red!" (「カゲキにアンブレイカブル・ボディ」 スーパーゲキレッド! "Kageki ni Anbureikaburu Bodi," Sūpā Geki Reddo! ).
Jyan is portrayed by Hiroki Suzuki (鈴木 裕樹 Suzuki Hiroki ). As a child, he is portrayed by Arashi Fukasawa (深澤 嵐 Fukasawa Arashi ).
Ran Uzaki/Geki Yellow (宇崎 ラン/ゲキイエロー Uzaki Ran/Geki Ierō ) is an employee of SCRTC and a Geki Jū Cheetah-Ken (激獣チーター拳 Geki Jū Chītāken ) artist, using a combination of Wing Chun speed and accuracy in her attacks. She is appointed by Xia Fu as the Captain of the Gekirangers. Ran comes from a high-class family that owns a gym, recruited by Xia Fu with her mother Reiko allowing Ran to join SCRTC until Ran was of age to undergo a marriage interview to ensure her future. At first, Ran wants to resign from learning the Beast Arts because she does not think she is good enough but Xia Fu tells her to think her actions through. She relies more in will than technique when fighting. Upright and cleanhanded, Ran will do things always the right way, being a fighter that gives "Heart" (心 Shin , also pronounced as Kokoro) the highest place. She excels in speed, but her reluctance to care for the small details make her "Technique" very poor. From learning Master Elehung Kam-Bo's Geki Jū Elephant-Ken (激獣エレファント拳 Geki Jū Erefantoken ) meteor hammer techniques, Ran became more loose and happy in the process.
Ran competes with Michelle Peng in a skateboarding competition (tying at 100 points each) to improve her "Technique" to obtain Kageki. This training allows her to become Super Geki Yellow (スーパーゲキイエロー Sūpā Geki Ierō ). As Super Geki Yellow she uses the Geki Jū Penguin-Ken (激獣ペンギン拳 Geki Jū Penginken ) style and is the "Extremely Honest Heart" (「過激にオネスト・ハート」 Kageki ni Onesuto Hāto ). Soon after, Ran is titled as team captain of the Gekirangers.
During the final battle, Ran is infused with Kata's Rinki, and is then brought to an astral Rin Jū Hall to master the Rin Jū Hawk-Ken (臨獣ホーク拳 Rinjū Hōkuken ) style to seal Long. Three months after Long's defeat, she is seen alongside Retu teaching Juken to young kids at SCRTC.
After transforming into Geki Yellow, Ran says, "Diligence day by day, refining my heart. 'Honest Heart,' Geki Yellow!" (日々是精進、心を磨く 「オネスト・ハート」 ゲキイエロー! Hibi kore shōjin, kokoro o migaku. "Onesuto Hāto," Geki Ierō! ). After transforming into Super Geki Yellow, Ran says, "'Extremely Honest Heart,' Super Geki Yellow!" (「カゲキにオネスト・ハート」 スーパーゲキイエロー!

Retu Fukami/Geki Blue (深見 レツ/ゲキブルー Fukami Retsu/Geki Burū ) is an employee of SCRTC and a Geki Jū Jaguar-Ken (激獣ジャガー拳 Geki Jū Jagāken ) practitioner, using Piguaquan techniques. He was a child when his older brother Gou was believed to have been killed by Rio. This event traumatized Retu severely, to the point where years later he still possessed an utter hatred for Rio. He originally had a promising career in painting, but took a break to learn the same fighting style as his older brother in order to find the same motivation that it gave Gou, rather than out of revenge. Retu is very intelligent but also selfish, does not take interest in others, and gives an impression of extreme coldness, although this changes as the series progresses. He believes that winning should be like a painting, complete and something that moves you. He sometimes mixes English when speaking. He learns of moving sensation of a trance when he masters Bat Li's Geki Jū Bat-Ken (激獣バット拳 Geki Jū Battoken ) style. He knows various "Techniques" (技 Gi , also pronounced as Waza), putting them in first priority when training. His attention to beauty costs him stamina, making his "Body" his weakest point until he competes with Bion Biao in an endurance match (and emerges victorious) to obtain Kageki. This training allows him to become Super Geki Blue (スーパーゲキブルー Sūpā Geki Burū ). As Super Geki Blue, he uses the Geki Jū Gazelle-Ken (激獣ガゼル拳 Geki Jū Gazeruken ) style and is the "Extremely Fantastic Technique" (「過激にファンタスティック・テクニック」 Kageki ni Fantasutikku Tekunikku ).
During the final battle, Retu is infused with Rageku's Rinki, and is then brought to an astral Rin Jū Hall to master the Rin Jū Jelly-Ken (臨獣ジェリー拳 Rinjū Jerīken ), style to seal Long. Three months after Long's defeat, he is seen alongside Ran teaching the Beast Fist to young kids at SCRTC.
After transforming into Geki Blue, Retu says, "The great blossom colored with technique. 'Fantastic Technique,' Geki Blue!" (技が彩る大輪の華 「ファンタスティック・テクニック」 ゲキブルー! Waza ga irodoru tairin no hana. "Fantasutikku Tekunikku," Geki Burū! ). After transforming into Super Geki Blue, Retu says, "'Extremely Fantastic Technique,' Super Geki Blue!" (「カゲキにファンタスティック・テクニック」 スーパーゲキブルー!

Gou Fukami/Geki Violet (深見 ゴウ/ゲキバイオレット Fukami Gō/Geki Baioretto , 22-49) is the fourth member and a Geki Jū Wolf-Ken (激獣ウルフ拳 Geki Jū Urufuken ) user, a student alongside Rio and Miki. He is Retu's older brother, and very protective of his well-being since their parents died and they spent their childhood at a church. It was there that Gou forced Retu to promise never to take on the Juken before leaving to face Rio and never be seen again. It was originally believed that Gou had been killed by Rio, but he used an imperfect form of the forbidden Geki Waza in an attempt to defeat Rio as the Kensei had done to seal the Kenma long ago. But it failed and Gou has been wandering for fifteen years in his resulting werewolf form that he could not control or have any recollection of what he was doing around that time.
Once regaining his human form, Gou was shocked to find the changes that occurred. He was also a bit vexed to find Retu disobeyed him and took up Geki Jūken. Though he is of the Geki Jūken, Gou lacks a passion for justice and fights only for himself. This resulted in Gou mastering a personal and dangerous form of Geki that he developed himself, called Shigeki (紫激気(しげき) , "Violet Fierce Qi") as well as reinvent the Wolf-Ken into his personal Fukami-Style (深見流 Fukamiryū ), a form of the actual Wolf-Ken that uses Muay Thai fighting moves. However, Xia Fu believed that Gou actually does have a passion for justice deep down, and gave him the GongChanger he commissioned specially for Gou to use. After much soul searching and cajoling by the others, he agrees to become Geki Violet and eventually overcome the beast within him thanks to Bae.[1][2] However, Gou still desires to defeat Rio and prove himself as his rival, holding some animosity towards Jyan, whom Rio sees as a rival, due to being the son of his mentor, Dan. But once he fails a second time to defeat Rio after mastering the strongest Geki Waza, Gou accepts that he can't be Rio's rival and glad to see him joining up with them in the fight again Long.
During the final battle, Gou is amongst the other Geki Jūken warriors, including the Kensei, keeping Long at bay until Jyan, Ran, and Retu return. He watches as Retu, along with Jyan and Ran, defeat Long and seals his powers. After the battle is over, Gou sets off on his own journey with Bae at his side to uncover what he did were as a werewolf. Jyan meets him along the way and gives him a final farewell before the two go their separate ways.
Using his Shigeki to a degree, Gou can summon Geki Tiger and Geki Jaguar and control Geki Tohja Wolf on his own.
After transforming into Geki Violet, Gou says "Excitement, my style, to the limit of my will! 'Iron Will,' Geki Violet!" (刺激、俺流、わが意を尽くす 「アイアン・ウィル」 ゲキバイオレット! Shigeki, ore ryū, waga i o tsukusu. "Aian Wiru," Geki Baioretto! ).
Gou is portrayed by Riki Miura (三浦 力 Miura Riki ).
Ken Hisatsu/Geki Chopper (久津 ケン/ゲキチョッパー Hisatsu Ken/Geki Choppā , 27-49) is the fifth member of the Gekiranger team, colored white with orange accents in a suit that resembles a karate uniform. He is a prodigy who trained at the Beast Origin Village and mastered one of the oldest fighting styles in the Beast Arts: the Geki Jū Rhinoceros-Ken (激獣ライノセラス拳 Geki Jū Rainoserasuken ) as a way to get over the pain of losing his mother at a young age. Ken was originally to aid Ran and Retu, but he left to travel abroad since his Geki Changer was busted. Furthermore, he sold the SoZyuTo that Xia Fu gave him for travelling money. He is a free spirit as well, not letting his own talents and family ties to the Geki Jūken be all he's known for. Ken can utilize the Geki Hard Diamond (激気研鑽 Geki Kensan ), a genius karate technique in which he condenses his Geki into a diamond blade on his hand with which can cut through anything. He eventually manifested Kageki on Christmas Eve out of his passion for the holidays. He frequently uses the word "Ossu" (押忍 ), which is a term in karate meaning "patience with myself and others." He also uses "kenzan," an archaic Japanese word that means "Just arrived" and is also a pun on his name, Ken. Using the SoZyuTo, he can summon and control SaiDain/SaiDaiOh. Hisatsu ken can also translate as "hidden technique," which Ken has.
During the final battle, Ken, alongside the other Geki Jūken users, including the Kensei, keep Long at bay until Jyan, Ran, and Retu return. He witnesses the three Gekirangers defeating Long and sealing his powers. After the battle is over, Ken returns to work at SCRTC Meisters.

She is an assistant to Xia Fu and also a student of Geki Jūken Beast Arts, mastering the Geki Jū Leopard-Ken (激獣レオパード拳 Geki Jū Reopādoken ) style. She dislikes Elehung, even though he is attracted to her. Before training in Geki Jūken, Miki was an infamous sukeban in her youth, former leader of the Kanto Sukeban Alliance. She also knows and meets SGS's Morio Makino and Hant Jō from the Dino House she usually eats at.

The Seven Kensei (七拳聖 Shichi Kensei , "Kensei" literally translates as "Fist Sage") are the legendary creators of the Geki Jūken style, originally under the wing of Brusa Ee. When their three fellow students split off and founded the Rin Jūken as Three Fist Demons, Brusa Ee died of foul play and the two groups battled each other in the Fierce-Rin Rebellion, with the Kensei ending the horrific fight with a forbidden Geki Waza that sealed the Fist Demons' bodies and forced the seven into their current animal forms along with them swearing a Juken Oath of Nonviolence soon after, fighting only in defense. Among them are the creators of the three Geki Jūken weapon art styles that utilize one's heart and the meteor hammer, one's technique and the war fan, and one's body with sabers. Three others make up the Master Triangle (マスタートライアングル Masutā Toraianguru ), three Kensei who had each fully mastered one of the three major aspects of the Geki Jūken Beast Arts: Heart, Technique, and Body. The seventh Kensei, Xia Fu mastered all three aspects of the Beast Arts and thus is the strongest of the Kensei. While it was Xia Fu who took the Gekirangers under his wing, the others have taught his students the weaponry techniques of their styles and the path to obtain Kageki. While the others refer to each of them as "Master", the Kensei are referred to by Jyan as the animal they resemble. Once every year, the Kensei would gather to have their annual Kensei Great Athletic Meet (拳聖大運動会 Kensei Daiundōkai ), where their hone their skills while maintaining fair sportsmanship.
After the first Fierce Rin War, the Kensei created the Sevenfold Barrier of Seven Sages (七重七聖の関 Nanae Nanasei no Seki ) that prevents those of the Rin Jū Fist to enter the sacred grounds of the Beast Origin Village. However, the barrier can be torn down by the SoZyuTo which fell into Rio's hands. The Kensei attempted to stop him, but it ended up with them facing the Fist Demons once more. However, as the Beast Origin Village burns to the ground, Maku seals all seven Kensei into a boulder and takes their power as his own. Once Maku was finally destroyed, his Ringi faded and the Kensei returned to normal. Each of the Kensei have been named after a prominent figure in martial arts movies, with their group name a pun on "sensei".
Master Xia Fu (マスター・シャーフー Masutā Shā Fū ) is a grand master of the Geki Jū Felis-Ken (激獣フェリス拳 Geki Jū Ferisuken ) style. He is the mentor of the Gekirangers and leader of the Kensei, mastering all three of its aspects and able to channel geki. He seemed to had a relationship with Rageku prior their transformations, with him spurring her love for him. He was originally a friend of Maku; however, Xia Fu turned down Brusa's offer to be his successor and suggested Maku. This act of kindness wounded Maku's pride and ended their friendship, which Xia Fu regretted ever since. Xia Fu appears to be an aged anthropomorphic caracal with his eyes normally closed, opening them when he gets serious and deep like sensing the qi like those of the Akugata. He loves to be scratched on the neck, referred to by Jyan as "Cat" (猫 Neko ), and always carries around a triangle with him. His motto is "There is training in one's livelihood" (暮らしの中に修行あり Kurashi no naka ni shugyō ari ), as his training has the Gekirangers learning from the various things life has to offer. While helping Jyan, Xia Fu found one of Long's scale in the ruins of Jyan's hometown, learning the truth behind Maku's betrayal among the revelations of Rio and Jyan's past encounters with Long.
When he fights Rio and Mere, he says, "There is training in one's livelihood. The Geki Jūken well achieved on a daily basis. Felis-Ken, Xia Fu!" (暮らしの中に修行あり。激獣拳とは日々よく生きることと見つけたり。フェリス拳 シャーフー! Kurashi no naka ni shugyō ari. Geki Jūken to wa hibi yoku ikiru koto to mitsuketari. Ferisuken, Shā Fū! ).

He was living on Shibe Mountain where he tested the Gekirangers in the guise of a mononoke, taking the package the Gekirangers were given to deliver to him, which they, with a great deal of difficulty, manage to take back from him. Elehung, due to his perverted nature, chooses Ran as his student of Elephant-Ken so she can master the Geki Hammer, though he gives her a hard time due to his teaching methods.

He appears as an anthropomorphic bat in Barong attire. Stubborn and eccentric, he considers hanging upside down as a great way to relieve stress. Though he refuses at first, Bat Li eventually decides to train Retu after witnessing his abilities first hand. It is later revealed that long ago he saved a young girl named Hanyon, whom he promised to be with forever. However, he left to master his Geki Jūken style with intent on keeping Hanyon from harm due to his presence. It is only by modern time that he revealed his reason to the elderly Hanyon so Ken can get the SoZyuTo back from her. His motto is "There is training while under a trance" (忘我の中に修行あり Bōga no naka ni shugyō ari ). His name is based on Jet Li (ジェット・リー Jetto Rī ).
When he fights Rio and Mere, he says, "There is training while in a trance. The performance mastering Bat-Ken, Bat Li!" (忘我の中に修行あり。美技を極めるバット拳 バット・リー! Bōga no naka ni shugyō ari. Bigi o kiwameru Battoken, Batto Rī! ).

Jyan soon becomes Sharkie's first pupil, with the two instantly getting along as Jyan calls his teacher "Shark" (鮫 Same ). However Dokariya's interference and Geki Shark's sudden attack leaves Sharkie to feel unfit to train others, furthered by Bat Li and Elehung's criticisms, forcing him to renounce Jyan as his student. However, after being framed by Dokariya of attempting to kill Xia Fu, Sharkie's spirits are lifted by Jyan defending Sharkie's honor as a Beast Fist Master and Xia Fu approving him as a true mentor.

Jyan refers to her as Miki's child, a nickname she dislikes; when Gou referred to her as such she replied, "Don't call me by Jyan's weird nickname". Her favorite dessert is egg tart and she hates it when someone eats hers. In the movie Engine Sentai Go-onger vs. Gekiranger, she has somewhat mastered Geki jū Python-Ken.
Natsume is portrayed by Sakina Kuwae (桑江 咲菜 Kuwae Sakina ).
Robo Tough (ロボタフ Robotafu ) is a Juken Trainer Droid. It is a robot that assists the Gekirangers in their Juken Training. It was programed with three level settings: Beginner, Expert, and the rarely used Cat Mode (in which, just as it sounds, it acts like a cat). By the finale, RoboTough was accidentally damaged by Mere.
Kentaro Hisatsu (久津 権太郎 Hisatsu Kentarō ) is Ken's father and head of SCRTC's Special Items Development, also known as "SCRTC Meisters" (スクラッチ・マイスターズ Sukuratchi Maisutāzu ) which poses a backstreet-factory run by the Hisatsu Family.

Sachiko Hisatsu (久津 幸子 Hisatsu Sachiko ) is Ken's younger sister. She is kidnapped by Mere on her birthday as a bargaining chip to obtain the SoZyuTo from Ken. Long poses as Sachiko to inform Ken of the kidnapping. Although she is Ken's younger sister, she will not hesitate to keep her brother in line when he starts arguing with somebody.
Sachiko is portrayed by Juri Ihata (井端 珠里 Ihata Juri ).
Dan (ダン Dan ) is a user of the Geki Jū Tiger-Ken (激獣タイガー拳 Geki Jū Taigāken ) style who was a star pupil under Xia Fu and a senior master of Rio, Gou, and Miki. Also referred as Byakko (ビャッコ Byakko ), Dan was able to access geki with little effort, manifested as a "White Tiger" (白い虎 Shiroi Tora ). Despite being the senior, Rio saw Dan as a rival and tried hard to surpass him. Although Dan tried to defeat Rio when he defected, he was killed, but the cause of defeat was because he got injured previously by Long in a sneak attack in order to further make Rio's desire for power insatiable. However, in his dying words, Dan told a frustrated Rio that their battle could be fulfilled through the son he had with his wife Nami, Jyan. Though Dan's Geki Soul was used in the creation of Suugu, Dan is unable to manifest until Jyan awakens his memory. After receiving a fatal wound meant for his son from Long, Dan/Suugu has Jyan land the deathblow, freeing Dan from his prison. Before leaving to the next life, he tells his son to walk his own path. Dan's alias is a reference to the Chinese mythological beast Byakko (白虎 Byakko , literally white tiger).
Dan is portrayed by Kenji Ohba (大葉 健二 Ōba Kenji ), known for his roles in Battle Fever J, Denshi Sentai Denziman, and Space Sheriff Gavan.
Brusa Ee (ブルーサ・イー Burūsa Ī ) was the man who created the Juken style, a master of the Geki Jū Rhinoceros-Ken style who once battled Cosmic Kenpō Master Pachacamac in the 200 day battle, barely winning and gaining Pachacamac's respect in the form of two jewels that together could reveal the secret moves of Cosmic Kenpō. Later on, Brusa took under his wing ten students, who in time became the Kensei and the Kenma. While having the seven as his students, Brusa appreciate Xia Fu's abilities and hoped to someday pass his title as Juken master to him. However, Xia Fu turned down the offer and asked Brusa to name Maku as his heir. The fact that he picked Maku not on his skills but on another's behalf led to Brusa's murder at the hands of Maku and the other Kenmas, resulting in the Geki-Rin Rebellion that created the two opposing branches of the Juken style. Though dead, Brusa Ee's spirit, the Geki Soul, remained and later entered what Xia Fu later carved into SaiDain. His motto is "Don't think, feel it", which Xia Fu took to heart as well as Ken and Jyan. When SaiDain's Beast Power Bloom is activated it empowered the Gekirangers, Mere, and Rio showing that Brusa looks favorably on both forms of Juken. Brusa Ee's name is based on Bruce Lee (ブルース・リー Burūsu Rī ).
Brusa is voiced by Shoma Kai (甲斐 将馬 Kai Shōma ).
The animal-themed mecha of the Gekirangers are called the Geki Beasts (ゲキビースト Geki Bīsuto ). The personal Geki Beasts are basically aura projections of the Gekirangers' Geki, made physical through the "Twice-Twice Clone Fist" Geki Waza. But once one of them masters a certain fighting style, the Gekirangers could summon a Geki Beast modeled after their training with the "Come-Come Beast" Geki Waza.
The Legendary Geki Beasts are additional Geki Beasts, each unique to the Gekiranger as the result of their training. When the Juken Armament (獣拳武装 Jūken Busō ) command is given, a Legendary Geki Beast becomes armor for Geki Tohja and Geki Fire.
Jūken Giant Geki Tohja (獣拳巨人ゲキトージャ Jūken Kyojin Geki Tōja )[Note 1] is formed when the three Geki Beasts combine with the Geki Waza: Juken Gattai (ゲキワザ 獣拳合体 Geki Waza Jūken Gattai ), Geki Tohja is formed. The primary attack of Geki Tohja are using the tails of the three Geki Beasts as a three section staff called Geki Setsukon (ゲキセツコン ). Geki Tohja's finishing Geki Waza moves rely on his horizontal spinning. The formation is similar to that of Space Emperor God Sigma, where two mechas form the respective legs while the other forms the rest of the body. Other Super Sentai robots having the God Sigma-style formation are Geki Fire, Go-onger's Kyoretsu-Oh, and Goseiger's Gosei Ground.
Herculean Giant Geki Fire (剛力巨人ゲキファイヤー Gōriki Kyojin Geki Faiyā ) is the form that the Super Gekirangers take from obtaining the "Kageki" power, the combination of the three Super Geki Beasts (スーパーゲキビースト Sūpā Geki Bīsuto ). Geki Fire's finishing Geki Waza moves rely on vertical spinning. Like Geki Tohja, Geki Fire can combine with the Legendary Geki Beasts.
Jūken God SaiDain (獣拳神サイダイン Jūkenshin SaiDain ) is a giant rhinoceros construct created by Xia Fu using the SoZyuTo to carve into the large statue that holds the Geki Soul (激気魂 Geki Damashii ) of Brusa Ee, thus having the ability of Beast Power Bloom (獣力開花 Jūriki Kaika ), empowering any pure Jūken user in its presence with the exception of those who strayed from the true path like the Kensei and the Kenma. Formed differently from the other Geki Beasts as a medium rather than a manifestation of Geki, SaiDain was originally in a petrified state at the Beast Origin Village. However, the SoZyuTo can bring SaiDain to life through the ideal wielder of SouZyuTo. SaiDain can assume its true form, Jūken Giant God SaiDaiOh (獣拳巨神サイダイオー Jūken Kyojin SaiDaiŌ )[Note 2], by saying the Jūken Giant God Advent (獣拳巨神降臨 Jūken Kyojin Kōrin ) or Jūken Transformation (獣拳変形 Jūken Henkei ) with the SoZyuTo. As SaiDaioh, it resembles a European knight. SaiDaiOh's head can be concealed in a faceplate to evoke its "Defense Mode" and it uses the Break Big Sword (砕大剣 Saidai Ken ) from the horn and a shield formed from the rhinoceros' back.
The various martial arts techniques that utilize Geki are known as "Geki Waza" (ゲキワザ(激技) Geki Waza , literally "Fierce Techniques"). The Gekirangers use the various parts of their arsenal to channel the Geki into usable forms to perform Geki Waza.

These Geki Waza are enhanced by Gou's personal Muay Thai moves, titled his "Fukami-style", due to his Shigeki.
