Known details

The story of Gekiranger features two opposing sides of the same school of martial arts, the Juuken (獣拳, Jūken^?, Beast-Fist) style, which allows one to control the anguish in their minds. The good form of Beast-Fist style is known as GekiJuuKen Beast Arts (激獣拳ビーストアーツ, GekiJūKen Bīsuto Ātsu^?, Fierce Beast-Fist Beast Arts) and is taught by Master Shā Fū (マスター・シャーフー, Masutā Shā Fū^?). The evil form of the Beast-Fist style is known as RinJuuKen (臨獣拳アクガタ, RinJūKen Akugata^?, Overlooking Beast-Fist Akugata) and they are commanded by the RinJuuTono (臨獣殿, RinJūTono^?, Overlooking Beast Lord). To fight the opposing school, Shā Fū chooses three of his students, Jan Kandou (漢堂ジャン, Kandō Jan^?), Ran Uzaki (宇崎ラン, Uzaki Ran^?), and Retsu Fukami (深見レツ, Fukami Retsu^?) to confront the Overlooking Beast-Fist school.
