Plot

In the Hayate's Way Ninja Academy, three of its pupils aren't exactly fitting in. But because their sensei believes them to have potential, he regularly spends the morning personally subjecting them to rigorous training. While the other students are having their graduation ceremony, a group of evil space ninja known as the Jakanja infiltrated the school, killing most of the students. The school's sensei, Mugensai, turned himself into a hamster to evade his pursuers. The trio were then taken to a secret base to become the legendary Hurricangers to fight Jakanja. But they also had to deal with the two ninja brothers of the Ikazuchi's Way Ninja Academy for a while due to their individual schools rivalries, but they were able to set their rivalry aside and joined forces.

"Denkousekka Gouraiger revealed!"

Lightning Speed Gouraiger (電光石火ゴウライジャー, Denkōsekka Gōraijā) were originally the enemies of the Hurricaneger, joining Jakanja despite the fact they had wiped out Ikazuchi's Way Ninja Academy as well, leaving the Kasumi Brothers as the only survivors. The brothers obtained the forbidden Gouraiger system by their father, Ikki, a rouge ninja who abused them and went against Ikazuchi's wishes to obtain "it" after learning of it during his mission in Egypt, Ikki learned of "it" and against his school's wishes, restored the Gouraiger system and use his sons to achieve his plan: By having them kill each other to evoke "it". Though they eventually allied themselves with the Hurricanger, the Kasumi brothers were unable to completely forsake their father's cruel teachings and thus had a jaded view on life. The two got jobs as construction workers.

"Crimson lightning. Horned Ninja KabutoRaiger!"

Ikkou Kasumi (霞一甲, Kasumi Ikkō) / Horned Ninja KabutoRaiger (角忍カブトライジャー, Tsunonin Kabutoraijā): The older Brother, called the "Horned Ninja". His original goal was to raise Ikazuchi as the greatest Space Ninja school, using "it".

• Gourai Weapon: Stag Breaker, KugawaRaiger's personal weapon. This pincer weapon can be used to snare opponents and the zap them with electrical energy. It can also be attached to the staff and serve as a blade.

Shurikenger

"I am Ninja of Ninja! The green light bullet! Heavenly Ninja Shurikenger! (Fire Mode!)

Heavenly Ninja Shurikenger (天空忍者シュリケンジャー, Tenkū Ninja Shurikenjā): The Ninja of 20 Faces and representative of the Space Union Ninja School. He was formerly known as Asuka Kagura, another student of Hayate's Way, but he mysteriously vanished. It would turn out he encountered Gozen, whom he devoted himself to as her personal fighter at the cost of his humanity, forced to remain in his costumed form permanently. A somewhat comical figure, Shurikenger often used broken English phrases, including the famous "I am Ninja of Ninja!", and also often poorly mixed both Japanese and English into his sentences. At first he would often disguise himself as a 'regular' person (even the other ninja wouldn't know who), however he would revert to his true form with the Shuriken Ball device when confronted by Jakanja. Has the ability to transform into Shurikenger Fire Mode (Shurikenjā Faiyā Mōdo), a quicker and deeper voiced version of himself, when top of his helmet is rotated as he removes his main chest armor, which is a weight-inhibitor and once removed from his body, Shurikenger's strength and speed increase. Shurikenger apparently died in the finale when he destroyed Tenkuujin in a kamikaze attack to kill Satorakura, however he survived and aided the Abaranger and Hurricaneger/Goraiger teams in their special, stating he's wherever he is needed.

• Shuriken Weapon: Shuriken's Bat, Shurikenger's personal weapon. Other than being used as a sword, it can also be used as a baseball bat, and once it was used as a microphone. The Bat's special attack is where Shurikenger can hit a hoard of baseballs at his opponent. The Bat can also be placed into Tenkuujin to use as a control stick.
• Whether intended or not, Shurikenger's "master of disguise" trait is reminiscent of Soukichi Banba (of J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, played by Hiroshi Miyauchi), who also regularly disguised himself (one example of Banba's trait is when he disguised himself as a fisherman in J.A.K.Q. vs. GoRanger and showed up just when all hope of victory for justice seemed lost).
• The actors who play Shurikenger's (10) human forms all played sentai members at one point. This might be related to GaoRanger vs. Super-Sentai, in which five former sentai members are brought back for the big screen.
• Shurikenger's disguises include the previous actors for: MegaRed, MegaBlue, Red Racer, Blue Racer, FiveRed, TimeYellow, GoRed, ShishiRanger, OHRed and Battle Kenya/DenjiBlue. In addition, he also disguised himself as Yousuke once, Ikkou once, and Kouta twice. Ayame, Kouta's grandmother brought back to life, was mistaken for Shurikenger, as was Wendinu in a human disguise by the boys (Nanami caught on right away).
• Before Shurikenger disguises himself as Detective Sasuke (Kunihiko Oshiba, also Date Kenta/MegaRed in Denji Sentai Megaranger), the real Sasuke hands out his business card. At the bottom, "Zubatto kaiketsu shimasu" (his business motto?) can be clearly seen. This is a direct nod to Kaiketsu Zubat, being part of the titular character's introduction phrase.

Allies

• Sensei Mugensai Hinata: Ninja master of Hayate's Way Ninja Acdemy, master of animal-change Ninpou. He turned himself into a hamster to evade his pursers, but he forgot the words that that would restore him to normal. But he can fight despite his form. Briefly returned to human form in the movie by means of a kiss from Princess Laiina, but was forced back to a hamster when she left. Eventually he returned to his human form in the finale.

• Oboro Hinata: Mugansai's daughter, she provides the team's arsenal and is their sempai due her being in class 487. Was shown working with Shurikenger to create "that flying thing", aka the Tri-Condor.

• Kakura / Lady Gozen: A 500-year old young-seeming woman whom Shurikenger protects. She's the reason both Ninja schools have similar Karakuri systems. She is the keeper of the mysterious SpearStone, which is in her forehead. The power of the SpearStone is the reason why Gozen's life has been prolonged, as it sustains her life. Gozen was later killed by Sandaaru, when he extracted the SpearStone from Gozen's body.

• Princess Laiina: Exclusive to the Hurricanger movie, she came from planet Asutoramu. Her race was known for having the gift of regeneration, thus why she was sought by the Shinobi Monkeys. Wanted Yuusuke as her bodyguard. Gave the Hurricanger Tri-Condor to allow them to form Tenraisenpuujin.

• Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger: While Yousuke, Kouta, and Nanami were fighting Genin Magerappa, they were attacked by, supposedly, the GaoRangers. But truthfully it was Manmaruba, Sargain, Furabiijo, Satorakura, and Windenu who stole their G-Phones thanks to Chubouzu, the younger brother of Chuzubo, and gave them a masking device to make them look exactly like the GaoRangers in human form. He kidnapped the GaoRangers and Tetomu, also Chubouzu brought in Tsue-Tsue and Yaibaiba to have revenge on them. The Gouraiger almost used the Double Gadget to destroy the fake GaoRangers, but the Hurricanegers told them they were Senshi (Warriors) like them. In the end, the 'Gaorangers' wanted to fight with GaoKing (the Power Animals didn't know the rangers controlling them were fake), but thanks to the real GaoWhite, the Power Animals deformed and left the fake GaoRangers alone. GaoWhite told everyone that she escaped thanks to her friends and told them how they ended up like this. All the rangers then went back to Chubouzu's hideout to get back the rest of the team when they were stopped by the fake GaoRangers. Isshuu and Ikkou volunteered to stay to fend the fake rangers off. Shurikenger also came as well. The Hurricanegers fight Chubouzu, also knocking a device that paralyzed the real GaoRangers. After a reunion and a word of thanks, the Gouraiger and Shurikenger are over whelmed. Everyone comes to help but it is no use. However Shirogane, GaoSilver, came back just in time to help the others. He used his G-Brace Phone to call out to the Power Animals to return the G-Phones to the proper owners. After a major battle, Chubouzu grows and brings back a few old enemies that the Hurricaneger recongize. When Chubouzu uses a team attack with the other monsters, GaoKing, GoraiSenpuujin, Tenkuujin, and GaoHunter Justice are badly damaged, especially GoraiSenpuujin, who loses one of its arms. GaoRed gets an idea from GaoLion to combine GaoTiger, GaoShark, and GaoElephant with GouraiSempuujin to create GouraiSempuujin Sword & Shield mode. Then Tenkuujin combines into GoraiSenpuujin after the Power Animals separate and finish Chubouzu with a team powered attack.

• Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger: The Abarangers came upon the Hurricanegers when they first found Yousuke fighting Wendinu and Furabiijo, who had been at DinoEarth since "their defeat" by the Hurricanegers with the prison of JaniIga in their possession. Though everyone was awkward in getting along, the Hurricanegers and Abarangers eventually teamed up to fight JaniIga and the Evoliens.

Arsenal

• Shinobi Medals: The Hurricanger, Gouraiger, as well as Shurikenger each possess their own personal Shinobi Medal. Their standard uses for both the Hurricaneger and Gouraiger are not only to be able to active their changers, but also for both teams to be able to combine their mecha.

• Hurricane Gyro: The Changer devices for the Hurricanger. Are capable of shooting out little disk-like Shuriken called Gyro Shuriken. The transformation call is "Ninpuu, Shinobi Change!"

• Keitaininto Hayatemaru: Standard sword-based weapons of the Hurricanger. Can not only be charged-up for an energized slash, but it can also be used as a gun as well.

• Gourai Changer: The Changer devices for the Gouraiger. Ikkou and Isshu's personal Gourai Changer is shaped as their personal insect. The transformation call is "Jenrai, Shinobi Change!"

• Ikazuchimaru: Standard weapon for the Gouraiger. Other than its standard staff appearance, it can also be used as the Juujino Kata (a large cross-shaped throwing weapon), or the Engetsu no Kata (a ring based weapon that is used as a shield for defense). Once Isshuu was able to connect his Stag Breaker to the end of his Ikazuchimaru to use for a special attack.

• Victory Gadget: Combination of the Triple (In the Quake Gadget formation) and Double Gadgets. The most powerful team based attack of the Hurricanger and Gouraiger.
  • Triple Gadget: Combination of the Hurricanger's personal weapons can be used in three different functions. Dry Gadget is where the Dry Gun is in front and it can fire an energy based attack. Sonic Gadget is with the Sonic Megaphone in front, where it can fire intense high pitched waves. Quake Gadget is with the Quake Hammer in front, where it can summon a 100 ton weight to use on its opponent.
  • Double Gadget: Combination of the Gouraiger's personal weapons.

• Shurikenball: Shurikenger's personal changer where he can use it to impersonate other people. His Shinobi Medal is located inside the ball. To change into his true form, Shurikenger shouts "Tenkuu, Shinobi Change!" Can be placed in Tenkuujin's controls to access its transformation sequence. Shurikenger gave the Shurikenball to Yousuke just before he died.

• Ninja Misen: This shamisen-like instrument is primarily used to summon and control Revolver Mammoth, by using a Shinobi Medal to play it. Originally Shurikenger could use it, but later in one of his disguises, he was able to teach the Hurricangers and Gouraigers to learn how to control Revolver Mammoth as well. Also with the Shuriken's Bat, Keitainincho Hayatemaru, or Ikazuchimaru, it can be used as a gun based weapon. Attacks are Shuriken Trick, Red Sonic, Yellow Sonic, Blue Sonic, Kabuto Sonic and Kuwaga Sonic.

• Kiraimaru: Used only in Episode 38. KuwagaRaiger located his father's Ikazuchimaru, the Kiraimaru which was hidden in a cave in hopes of gaining more strength as Isshuu had become disillusioned by the Gouraigers alliance with the Hurricanger. The Kiraimaru is a double-ended naginata which can slice through any object. However its power comes with a price, although the Kiraimaru is supposed to be used to fight enemies, but unknown to Isshuu it was changed by his father Ikki to damage the loved ones of the person who wields it, as Ikki believed that hate would only promote strength. Isshuu found out the hard way during the battle against Gomubiron that using the weapon would only harm Isshuu's teammates. In the following battle Isshuu deliberately snapped the Kiraimaru in half and used part of it to impale Gomubiron. Kirai means, "Hate".

Vehicles

• Wingers: Hang gliders that serve as the Hurricanger's transportation.
  • Red Winger: Hurricane Red's Winger.
  • Yellow Winger: Hurricane Yellow's Winger.
  • Blue Winger: Hurricane Blue's Winger.

• Bari Thunders: Motorcycles that are used by the Gouraiger for transportation. Once in Episode 37, Kouta and Nanami had to learn to ride the Bari Thunders in order to rescue Ikkou and Isshuu who were trapped in Manmaruba's body after he evolved into his final form.
  • Kabuto Bari Thunder: KabutoRaiger's motorcycle.
  • Kuwaga Bari Thunder: KuwagaRaiger's motorcycle.

Shinobi Machines

Giant Karakuri created for the last Hurricanegers. Each of the Shinobi Machines come whenever the Hurricaneger, Gouraiger and Shurikenger call out "Shinobi Machines!".

• Tenrai Senpuujin (天雷旋風神, Tenrai Senpūjin, lit. Heavenly Thunder Whirlwind God): Combination of Senpuujin, Goraijin and Tenkuujin with TriCondor that is formed by the command "Galactic Transcedence Three-God Combine" (銀河超越三神合体 Gingachōetsu Sanjin Gattai), which can use Tenkuujin's helicopter blades as a weapon. Tenrai Senpuujin was first formed in the Hurricanger movie to fight the Shinobi Space Monkey in their Ashurasaru form, with the aid of the Tricondor owned by Princess Laiina. Tenrai Senpujin was later used when Manmaruba became huge and ate the Gouraiger. Hurricane Blue and Hurricane Yellow went to save them on the Gouraiger's Bari Thunders while Hurricane Red used Senpuujin to hold Manmaruba. Gozen sent three new Karakuri Balls, which she created with Shurikenger's help. These new Karakuri Balls which form TriConder are what enabled the combination of all three robots into TenraiSenpuujin When the mecha's chest blades spin, they summon a destructive whirlwind called the Ultimate Storm attack, which lifts monsters into the sky and kills them. Another technique is the Double Cross Formation, where the chest blades turn 45° and project a force field that can block almost any frontal attack. In the following episode TriConder's Shinobi medals are each shattered after its first fight as Tenrai Senpuujin. The team wasn't able to use it for a while due to the conflict of mixing wind and thunder energy together, but Orobo was able to repair the medals by herself. Tenrai Senpuujin does not utilize the Hurricane Dolphin as a component.
  • Gourai Senpuujin (轟雷旋風神, Gōrai Senpūjin, lit. Booming Thunder Whirlwind God): Combination of Senpuujin and Goraijin with FūraiMaru, formed by the command "School Trancendence Wind-Thunder Combine" (流派超越風雷合体 Ryūhachōetsu Fūrai Gattai). Its finisher attack is the Rolling Thunder Hurricane. Once in Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger, after Chubouzu breaks off Gourai Senpuujin's arms, the Gaorangers are able to combine GaoShark, GaoTiger, & GaoElephant with GoraiSenpuujin by replacing Gorai Stag as the arms to create Gourai Senpuujin Sword & Shield (轟雷旋風神ソードアンドシールド Gōrai Senpūjin Sōdo ando Shīrudo). It could only maintained for a short time, because the three Power Animals were too powerful for Gourai Senpuujin. Its components were rebuilt for Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger, but it was destroyed again by KillerOh.
    • Senpuujin (旋風神, Senpūjin, lit. Whirlwind God): The Hurricanegers' Karakuri Giant (絡繰巨漢, Karakuri Kyokan) that they use to battle the enlarged Jakanja monsters. It is formed by the command "Ninpou Combine" (忍風合体 Ninpū Gattai). With the command "Senpuujin, hurry up!", it is able to change into a smaller, much faster form called Senpuujin Hurrier (旋風神ハリアー Senpūjin Hariā) that lasts for 60 seconds. While in this form it has two large twin blades. It was destroyed in the final episode, only to be rebuilt by Wendinu and Furabijo
      • Hurricane Hawk: Hurricane Red's personal mecha. A giant robotic red hawk with ninja fire magic; Forms the head of Senpuujin.
      • Hurricane Lion: Hurricane Yellow's personal mecha. A giant robotic yellow lion with ninja earth magic (never really used in the series though); Forms the majority of the body of Senpuujin: legs, torso, left arm. The left arm forms GouraiSenpuujin's chest.
      • Hurricane Dolphin: Hurricane Blue's personal mecha. A giant robotic blue dolphin with ninja water magic (also rarely used); Forms the right arm of Senpuujin or GouraiSenpuujin's right shoulder cannon, and can switch with Tenkuujin to form TenkuuSenpuujin. Hurricane Dolphin is the only Shinobi Machine left out of the TenraiSenpuujin formation.
    • Gouraijin (轟雷神, Gōraijin, lit. Booming Thunder God): The Gouraigers' Karakuri Giant, formed by the command "Thunderclap Combine" (迅雷合体 Ikazuchi Gattai). Was destroyed when the Gouraiger sacrificed it (and apparently themselves) to destroy Sandaru so that the Hurricaneger could go on to save the Earth from Jakanja's doomsday event. It was later rebuilt by Wendinu and Furabijo.
      • Gorai Beetle: KabutoRaijer's personal mecha. A giant tank-like black & maroon beetle that forms Gouraijin's upper half. Also forms Gourai Senpuujin's feet and left shoulder cannon, and TenraiSenpuujin's feet.
      • Gorai Stag: KugawaRaiger's personal mecha. A giant tank-like black & navy blue stag beetle that forms Gouraijin's lower half and Double Horn Cutter weapon. Also forms arms for GouraiSenpuujin and TenraiSenpuujin.
  • Tenkuujin (天空神, Tenkūjin, lit. Heavenly God): Shurikenger's personal mecha. Has the ability to transform from helicopter to robot mode with the command "Soaring Transformation!" (飛翔変形 Hishō Henkei) where the cockpit becomes arms (revealing the head), the engines become legs, and one of the rotor blades (the tips of the blades retract) becomes a headdress. With a different command, "Heavenly Armament!" (天空武装 Tenkū Busō), it can replace Hurricane Dolphin on Senpuujin to form Tenkuu Senpuujin (天空旋風神 Tenkū Senpūjin, Heavenly Whirlwind God) as the right arm, or with Gouraijin to form Tenkuu Gouraijin (天空轟雷神 Tenkū Gōraijin, Heavenly Booming Thunder God) as back-mounted shoulder cannons. Through the TriCondor, Tenkuujin could combine with both Senpuujin and Gouraijin to form Tenrai Senpuujin (as the chest) and in the Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger Team-up movie Tenkuujin merged with Gourai Senpuujin to form Tenkuugourai Senpuujin (天空轟雷旋風神 Tenkūgōrai Senpūjin, Heavenly Booming Thunder Whirlwind God), joining as the right arm as it does with Senpuujin. Tenkuu Gourai Senpuujin is the only combination to actually utilize all six Shinobi Machines. Shurikenger once brought in two Tenkuujin, duplicates which could combine with the other machines so that they could combine with both Senpuujin and Goraijin simultaneously and leave a Tenkuujin free to fight on its own. They were piloted by Oboro's slave robots, but were inferior to the Tenkuujin and overheated too easily. In the finale, Tenkuujin was destroyed when Shurikenger seemed to sacrificed himself to kill Satorakura.

• Super Karakuri Beast Revolver Mammoth (超絡繰獣リボルバーマンモス, Chou Karakurijuu Riborubamanmosu): A giant robotic mammoth that is called into battle by playing the Ninja Misen, it can supply a seemingly endless amount of Karakuri Balls. Gourai Senpuujin or Tenrai Senpuujin can also ride Revolver Mammoth and combine attacks. When Gourai Senpuujin is used with Revolver Mammoth the finisher attack is Hurricane Thunder Strike. When TenraiSenpuujin is used together with Revolver Mammoth it can create the Ultimate Rainbow attack.

Karakuri Balls

Karakuri Balls (絡繰り (カラクリ) ボール, Karakuri Bōru, lit. Trick Ball): Become the tools the robots use in battle. The kanji next to the tool names are those found on their Shinobi Medals, and their meanings are included.

• Karakuri Ball 01: Sword Slasher: The Hurricanegers must fuse the Shinobi Medals on their Hurricane Gyros to make this weapon, but KabutoRaiger has also used a Shinobi medal with "鉾" (halberd) on it. It is the primary weapon of Senpuujin. In Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger, with their powers combined, their powers helped to create a golden version called the Mahoro Slasher, which was wielded by Abaren'oh.

  • Ikari no Ya (怒りの矢, Ikari no Ya, lit. Raging Arrow): An arrow with a sword-like handgrip at the end of its shaft. When wielded alone it caused Tenrai Senpuujin to go berzerk. Rather than than being marked with a kanji, it's Shinobi Medal resembles the pattern of a sand dollar.
  • Nageki no Yumi (なげきの弓, Nageki no Yumi, lit. Whispering Bow): A bow that allows the wielder to safely use the Ikari no Ya. Of the Shinobi mecha, it can only be wielded by Senpuujin Hurrier in the Yami Ishii (闇石, Yami Ishi, lit. Dark Stone) attack. Rathern than being marked with a kanji, it's Shinobi Medal is marked with a complex hexagonal pattern.

Space Stealth Group Jakanja

The Space Stealth Group Jakanja (宇宙忍群ジャカンジャ Uchū Ningun Jakanja) are a ruthless band of aliens, piloting in space with their ninja-themed weapons.

• Leader Tau Zanto: The leader of the Jakanja, who is intent to bring Earth to ruins to obtain "it". Gains a stronger second form, Tau Zanto Ultimate Form, towards the end of the series. Tau Zanto fought against Senpuujin in the finale. He was regressed to normal size, when Senpuujin exploded and was killed for good by the Victory Gadget.

• The Seven Dark Spears: Generals of Tau Zanto, they are Jonin (上忍, Jōnin) with different specialities gathered from all corners of the universe. Only in the finale, when the dead were revived, all seven spears gathered together. Only Furabijo & Wendinu survived the series, reappearing in Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger to a vain attempt to join up with the Evoliens by obtaining JaniIga, but the two girls were denied membership and pretty much just hang out now on DinoEarth until Furabiijo was summon back to Earth by Chronos.

• • Spear One, Furabiijo (フラビージョ, Furabiijō): A girl with a bug-headdress who appears on Earth with her partner Wendinu, Furabijou is a mistress of Bee Ninpou (蜂忍法, Hachininpō). She carries a notepad with info on the monsters sent to fight and uses a stamp when they die to mark them out with "X for flunking". It was soon learned she was a student at a space ninja school until she dropped out after a failing an exam. After being kicked out of her family, Furabiijo joined the Jakanja. She has a fear of lightning. In Hurricaneger vs. GaoRanger, she became GaoWhite, but later got whacked in the head by the real GaoWhite's Tiger Baton. She did survive the series (despite her seeming death) and reappeared in Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger. Furabiijo returned once again in GoGo Sentai Boukenger Vs. Super Sentai, using the Gordom engine to return from Dino Earth. Her appearance was delayed because she claimed to have taken a walk, much to the dismay of the other villains. With her appearance, she was quickly used as an ingredient to create a new Precious, the Staff of the Three Philosophers, that powered Chronos up. When Chronos was destroyed by Burning Legend DaiVoyager, so too was the staff, and Furabiijo along with it, much to her annoyance.

Names/Puns

Rangers

• As this series was ninja themed, the "-nja" particle can be taken as a double pun on both "ranger" and "ninja". Therefore, the series name could alternatively (but not officially) be read as "Hurricanja".

• "Gourai" means "Rumbling Thunder".

• Shurikenger's name is a portmanteu of "Shuriken" and "ranger." His original name uses two traditional Japanese names. Asuka, which relates to the Asuka Period and Kagura, a specific type of Shinto dance — the oldest known to this day.

ShinobiMachines

• Under translation, "Senpuujin", "Goraijin" and "Tenkuujin" means "Whirlwind God", "Rumbling Thunder God", and "Sky God" respectively.

Karakuri

• The name for the weapons in the series is based on the idea of real intricate wooden 'karakuri' toys. (The word karakuri means "mechanical device to tease, trick, or take a person by surprise".)

Jakanja

The term Jakanja can be translated as "Wicked Spies".

• The Seven Dark Spears' names are puns on the seven days of week:
  • Manmaruba - Monday
  • Chuzubo - Tuesday
  • Wendinu (Wendy) - Wednesday
  • Sargain - Thursday
  • Furabiijo - Friday: Her name is also a combo of Furai (Fly) and Bijou (Beauty).
  • Satorakura - Saturday
  • Sandaru - Sunday: His name is also a pun on the word "sand dollar".

Trivia

• Azusa Yamamoto (Furabiijo) was a contestant of 1997 Japan Bishojo Contest and she was the favourite to win the contest, but did not.
• The theme song to the series was sung by Takatori Hideaki.
• During both sentai team ups (with both Gaoranger and Abaranger), Oboro would break the fourth wall and talk to the audience stating, "This is, after all, a special." when something interesting in the mecha battles occurred. One was when the Shinobi Machines combined with the Power Animals creating GouraiSenpuujin Sword and Shield and when Abarenoh managed to materialize a Karakuri Ball from Tyranno's mouth and unvieling a Gold Sword Slasher.
  • Hurricaneger VS Gaoranger is the first Sentai team up movie to have the 6th members from both teams (GaoSilver and Shurikenger) show up. Hurricaneger VS Gaoranger is also the 4th Sentai Crossover to have the complete rosters of both teams. The 1st being J.A.K.Q. VS Goranger (although Peggy Matsuyama (MomoRanger) was the only Goranger to show up out of costume), 2nd GoGoV VS Gingaman (Black Knight Hyuuga shows up, and GoGoV didn't have a 6th hero except for Beast-Demon Hunter Sieg and Sieg-Jeanne (Kyoko Hakase in Beast-Demon Hunter armour), non-canon exclusives from another movie), 3rd was Timeranger vs. GoGo-V (TimeFire was present).
• The helmets for the Hurricanegers (and Goraigers) closely resemble the "Zubasuit" helmet from Kaiketsu Zubat in the way their goggles and faceplates open.
• The component ShinobiMachines for Senpuujin (Hurricane Hawk, Dolphin, Lion) resemble the component Live Machines from Choujuu Sentai Liveman (Jet Falcon, Land Lion, Aqua Dolphin), though the combined forms are different. The Gouraigers make a slight reference to the other two Livemen (Black Bison, Green Rhino), since the last were horned mammals, and the Gouraigers were horned beetles, in both cases one member with one horn and the other with two. The "three-component plus two-component" combined super robot formula is also the same, though, again, the actual form is very different. The villains also keep score, as they did in Liveman.
• During the series, Asuza Yamamoto (Furabiijo) begins her relationship with Kyo Nobuo (Isshuu/Kuwaga Raija). Actually, they are fiancées.
