Gender Changes in Gokaiger

UPDATED 10/3/12 EST

The gender changes when a female Gokaiger becomes a previously male Ranger or a male Gokaiger becomes a previously female Ranger. In most cases, a skirt is added or taken away. In rare cases, if another female ranger has no skirt, the others in her team don't get a skirt.

Goranger - 1
In the first episode, Gokai Yellow became Ki Ranger, no skirt was added because Momo Ranger had no skirt. Ki Ranger was originally male in Goranger.

Magiranger - 3
Originally Magi Blue (Blue Mystic Force Ranger) is female and Magi Yellow (Yellow Mystic Force Ranger) is male, Gokai Yellow changes the costumes, adding a skirt. Gokai Blue has blue legs when he becomes Magi Blue and no skirt. I put it as 3 Gender Changes because of the skirted MagiRed. Episodes 1, 3, and various others


Hurricanger - 3
Originally, Hurricane Blue (Blue Wind Ranger of Ninja Storm) is female, Hurricane Yellow (Yellow Wind Ranger) is male and Kuwagata Raiger (Navy Ranger) is male. When Gokai Yellow became Hurricane Yellow, gained a skirt. Hurricane Blue lost the skirt when Gokai Blue donned the costume. When Gokai Pink became Kuwagata Raiger, she added a skirt. Episodes 2, and various others.


GokaiYellow became Geki Red (Red Jungle Fury Ranger) in Goseiger vs. Shinkenger and GokaiPink became Geki Red in the second episode, a skirt was added. GokaiPink became MagiRed (Red Mystic Force Ranger) in the teamup movie and GokaiYellow became MagiRed in 2nd episode, skirt was added.

Go-Onger - 1
GokaiPink became Go-On Black with a skirt in Episode 3... Go-On Black (RPM Ranger Black) is originally male. She would become Go-On Black every time they became Go-Onger like ep 5, ep 19 and briefly in the 199 heroes movie. GokaiYellow became Ninja Black with a skirt in Episode 3. Ninja Black (Black Aquitar Ranger)was a surprise because it wasn't in any of the magazines or the teamup.


Stageshow - 3
In a stageshow early when Gokaiger started, five ebcome red once again. Gokai Yellow as Deka Red, no skirt of course and Gokai Pink as Shinken Red. We recently find out there is a Hime Shinken Red key and Karou is one of the Bangai (extra) heroes. Even though Karou wanted to fight the Gokaiger for the Shinkenger keys, they only had 5 at the time. Basco turned out having the Shinken Gold and Hime Shinken Red key. Some fans find it pointless to have a female key if Pink can use the regular key and gain a skirt.

They also did this one in April, with Gokai Red as ChangeDragon.

In another stage show, it was around June 25th (I found it on someone's Blog in Japanese), Gokai Yellow becomes Shinken Red and Gokai Pink becomes Go-On Red. Who knows if we will see this on the show.


Sun Vulcan - 1 and Kakuranger - 2
When Gokai Yellow becomes VulPanther, dons a skirt, first happened in Episode 6 and then again in 7. Sun Vulcan is originally all male team. Fabric-wise, making a skirt was no big deal because there is no hem and just extra fabric. In Kakuranger (Aquitar Rangers), the only female is White, Yellow is male. Gokai Yellow dons a skirt as Ninja Yellow (Yellow Aquitar Ranger). Fabric-wise, making a skirt was no big deal because there is no hem and just extra fabric. I have it down as two gender changes as Ninja Black got a skirt also.


Jetman - 2, Zyuranger - 1, Dairanger - 1
In Jetman, Yellow Owl is male and Blue Swallow is female. When Gokai Blue becomes Blue Swallow, he has no skirt, just shorts. Gokai Yellow dons a skirt when becoming Yellow Owl. This happens in Episode 9. The hem of the skirt is black to match the other accents. Here there was effort because they had to make a specialized skirt and shorts. In Zyuranger (Original MMPR), Tiger Ranger (yellow) is originally male (in MMPR, yellow was female). Gokai Yellow dons a skirt similar to Ptera Ranger's. Here there was extra effort as they had to make a stylized skirt with hem for Yellow. Happened in Episode 11. In Dairanger, Kirin Ranger (yellow) is male but Gokai Yellow dons a skirt when she becomes him. The skirt is modeled after Houhou Ranger's skirt. Fabric wise, the skirt is no different than Pink's, so they just made another. This happened in Episode 5.



Timeranger - 1, Gaoranger - 1
Originally Time Yellow was male (even though their Power Rangers counterparts was female--Yellow Time Force Ranger), so when Gokai Yellow becomes him, a skirt is added. Timeranger yet to happen. Originally Gao Yellow as male (even though their Power Rangers counterparts were female--Yellow Wild Force Ranger), so when Gokai Yellow becomes him, a skirt is added. Gao Yellow gains a black hem on the skirt because Gao White had a pink hem and Pink wouldn't make sense on yellow so Black is the only natural progression. Extra effort is noted because of the hem. This occurred in Episodes 7, 8 and 9.




Gekiranger - 2, Denjiman - 1
Originally in Gekiranger, GekiChopper (Rhino Ranger in Jungle Fury) is male, Gokai Pink dons a skirt when she becomes Chopper. There is 2 Gender changes because we also saw a skirted GekiRed. Happens in 4 and 7. Originally in Denjiman, Denji Yellow is male, when Gokai Yellow becomes him, she dons a skirt, white hem because Pink has one. Extra Effort is noted because of the hem. Happened in 8.


Goggle V- 1, Dynaman - 1
Goggle Yellow is male, Gokai Yellow does not gain a skirt for him since Pink had no skirt. Happened in ep 8. Dyna Yellow is male, Gokai Yellow does not gain a skirt since Pink had no skirt.

Gingaman - 1, GoGoV - 1
Ginga Yellow is originally male (even though their Power Ranger counterparts was female--Yellow Galaxy Ranger of Lost Galaxy). Gokai Yellow dons a skirt for him. Go Yellow is originally male (even though their Power Ranger counterparts was female--Yellow Lightspeed Rescue Ranger). Gokai Yellow dons a skirt for him. Fabric-wise, it was just extra fabric. Ep 6 and 23. Gingaman happens in Ep 13 and 20.


Liveman - 3, Turboranger - 1
In Liveman, Blue Dolphin is female, Yellow Lion and Black Bison are male. Gokai Pink dons a skirt when becoming Black Bison, Gokai Blue looses the skirt as Blue Dolphin and Gokai Yellow has a skirt for Yellow Lion. Liveman hasn't happen yet. In Turboranger, Turbo Yellow is male, Gokai Yellow dons a skirt for him. The hem is black to match the trimmings of the suit. Extra Effort is noted because of the hem of the skirts. Ep 9.


JAKQ - 1
Gokai Yellow becomes Big One and a skirt is added, happened in Episode 10. Big One is originally male in JAKQ. Fabric-wise, making a skirt was no big deal because there is no hem and just extra fabric.



Battle Fever J - 1
Battle Cossack is originally male in Battle Fever J. When she becomes Battle Cossack, no skirt because Miss America had no skirt (just v-shape shorts). Yellow becomes this form in the movie and in later episodes.


Sixth Rangers - 2
In Episode 17, Gokai Yellow becomes Mega Silver and Gokai Pink becomes AbareKiller, adding skirts. In Episode 18, Yellow becomes Silver again.

Go-On Wings - 1/2
One half? Yup. Gokai Silver becomes Go-On Wings in ep 19, a mix of Gold and Silver making half of Silver a male suit, with no skirt.

Male Go-On Silver - 1
This has not appeared on the show yet, but appeared in a book featuring the Ranger Keys.

Flashman and Dairanger - 2

 In Episode 43, they make an all-green change. Ahim becomes Green Flash, and Luka becomes Shishi Ranger, with a skirt! They had a Yellow-Change in 44, Blue-Change in 45, and White-Change in Gokaiger vs Gavan, but no gender changes we haven't seen before. The Flashman had different styles--the females had white legs with black stripe with ranger-color underwear-like thing and the males had ranger-color legs with black stripe. So original Green Flash had green legs, but here is white pants. Ahim becomes Green Flash again in Episode 49.

Dynaman, Flashman, Zyuranger, Fiveman - 4

 In Gokaiger vs. Gavan, DynaPink, and Five Pink didn't have skirts but here they are male, no change to the suit. The Flashman had different styles--the females had white legs with black stripe with ranger-color underwear-like thing and the males had ranger-color legs with black stripe. So original Pink Flash was with white legs, but here changed to pink legs. Ptera Ranger sans skirt. 4 changes none the less.

 In Episode 45, they change into lions. Ahim/Gokai Pink becomes Ginga Red, with a skirt. In 48, Luka becomes Ginga Red.

43 1/2 gender changes!
