Gosei Sentai Dairanger/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hey, It's That Guy!: The supporting cast includes quite a few Choujin Sentai Jetman alumni, namely Yutaka Hirose (Tranza and Jin Matoba), Ikko Tadano (Raita Oishi and the second Kameo), and Mikiko Miki (Chief Aya Odagiri and Ko's mother)
    • Gaara is Akiko Amamatsuri, who was one of the villains (Dr. Mazenda) in Choujuu Sentai Liveman alongside Yutaka Hirose (Dr. Kemp).
    • Maroshi Tamura (Zydos) had a guest role in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger as Dora Franke.
    • Masako Morishita (Kujaku) also played the role of Kirika.
    • Shoichiro Takamura, the Gohma photographer who falls in love with Rin in Episode 33 (Media Magician), is played by Ryosuke Kaizu (Takeru the Red Mask).
    • Keiichi Wada would later guest-star in a Rescue Sentai Go Go Five video movie as the Demon Hunter Sieg.
    • Kou's actor played the child version of Burai in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Rintaro Nishi (Shadam) later became the voice of Chimatsuri Doukoku.
  • The Other Darrin: Sugisaku Imagawa, the actor who originally played Kameo, left the show for health reasons, so his role was taken over by Ikko Tadano (who previously played Raita in Choujin Sentai Jetman) from Episode 29 and onward. But since Kameo is just a human disguise of Daimugen, why not?
  • The Other Marty: As shown in the trailer for The Movie, Keiichi Wada (Ryō) and Keisuke Tsuchiya (Kazu) originally had their roles reversed. (The basis for the switch being Wada's actual martial arts skills.)
  • Name's the Same: The Kiba Daioh shares its name with the leader of the Kiba Clan from Fist of the North Star.
  • Recycled Script: Kujaku's subplot has strong similarity to the "Burai's lifespan" plot from the previous season. Seeking magic healing water to restore life-force, close to the end it's revealed it won't help the person and is instead needed for someone else, at the end character dies and ascends. Additionally, the character is vengeance driven at first and causes damage to heroes and villains alike before having some sense knocked into them.
  • What Could Have Been: Keisuke Tsuchiya was originally cast as Ryō insted of Kazu. Keeping this in mind, recall the episode where Tsuhiya's twin brother played Kazu's evil clone... The Other Marty + Making Use of the Twin = Cloned Red Ranger vs. Real Red Ranger?
  • Working Title: The show was originally going to be titled Daikenger (which roughly means "Great Fist Ranger"). The Japanese Wikipedia page once claimed that Chinaman was a working title, but this was actually disconfirmed by Super Hero Taihen #6.
