Ranger Keys
The Ranger Keys (レンジャーキー, Renjā Kī) are mysterious items that were scattered across the cosmos after the previous Super Sentai teams sacrificed their powers to defeat the Zangyack Empire's first invasion wave. After forming the Red Pirates to gather them all, Aka Red gave them to Marvelous so he could find the Greatest Treasure. Stored in the Gokai Treanger Box (ゴーカイトレンジャーボックス, Gōkai Torenjā Bokkusu), the Ranger Keys can be summoned to a Gokaiger's Gokai Buckle (ゴーカイバックル, Gōkai Bakkuru) via a thought-based teleportation system called the Key Road (キーロード, Kī Rōdo). The Ranger Keys allow the Gokaigers to transform, activate their weapons' finishers, and grant access to a previous Sentai team's powers. After unlocking a Legend Sentai's Great Power, the Gokaigers can use the Ranger Keys to enhance their giant robots and access unique powers. While the Gokaigers usually transform into a Sentai hero of their corresponding color and have personal Ranger Keys, the items are not specific to any of them.
In the film Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, it is revealed that past Sentai warriors can regain their powers by claiming their Ranger Keys. They can also infuse them with their team's Great Power, at the cost of their powers. However, deceased Sentai warriors such as Mikoto Nakadai of the Abarangers and Gai Yuki of the Jetmen still possess their powers.
In the crossover film Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie, the Gokaigers seek out the Phantom Ranger Keys (幻のレンジャーキー, Maboroshi no Renjā Kī), which are said to unlock the "Greatest Power in the Universe" (宇宙でもっとも巨大な力, Uchu de Mottomo Kyodai na Chikara). After joining forces with the Go-Busters, the Phantom Ranger Keys transform into Buddyroid Keys (バディロイドキー, Badiroido Kī), which grant the use of giant-sized Megazord Keys (メガゾードキー, Megazōdo Kī) so the Gokaigers and Go-Busters can transform their giant robots into those of past Sentai teams.

Zangyack
The Space Empire Zangyack (宇宙帝国ザンギャック, Uchū Teikoku Zangyakku) are a race of aliens who have conquered and destroyed untold numbers of planets across the galaxy and plan to invade Earth for their emperor, Akudos Gill. While the first 34 Sentai teams foiled Zangyack's first invasion attempt during the Legend War (レジェンド大戦, Rejendo Taisen), Zangyack launches a stronger, second invasion led by the emperor's son Warz Gill from his chariot-like flagship, the Gigant Horse (ギガントホース, Giganto Hōsu). They initially see the Gokaigers as a minor nuisance until the pirates kill Warz, forcing Zangyack to prioritize stopping the pirates. Additionally, Akudos to come and oversee the invasion personally. Ultimately, the Gokaigers destroy a majority of the Zangyack fleet and kill Akudos, dissolving the empire and bringing their reign to an end.
During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, an alliance of the Sentai teams' revived enemies and Zangyack's remnants form Dai-Zangyack (大ザンギャック, Dai Zangyakku), who join forces with Dai-Shocker to manipulate the Super Sentai and Kamen Riders into destroying each other. After the heroes fight back, Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker combine their respective headquarters, the Gigant Horse and the Crisis Fortress, to form the Big Machine (ビッグマシン, Biggu Mashin) mecha to destroy them, only for the heroes to defeat them and destroy the Big Machine with Rocket Drill Go-BusterOh.
Warz Gill
Commander Warz Gill (司令官ワルズ・ギル, Shireikan Waruzu Giru) is the hotheaded, inept, petty, and paranoid swash-themed field commander of the Zangyack invasion forces, prince of the Zangyack Empire, and the son of Akudos Gill, whom Warz is desperate to prove himself to. In pursuit of this goal, however, he comes off as hysterical, lashing out when his missions fail. Warz especially shows anger towards Damaras, whom he knows Akudos sent to watch over him because his father lacks faith in him. Despite eventually learning of the Gokaigers' quest for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, Warz initially refuses to focus on them. After being indirectly wounded by Marvelous, Warz vows to kill the Gokaigers with extreme prejudice. Upon receiving the Great Warz (グレートワルズ, Gurēto Waruzu) war machine, Warz attacks Earth and overpowers the Gokaigers in battle before sending Barizorg to finish them off. Following Barizorg's death, Warz defies Damaras' concerns and returns to Earth to seek revenge, only to be killed by the Gokaigers via Kanzen GokaiOh.
During the events of the crossover film, Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, Warz is revived to serve in Dai-Zangyack. After being enlarged by the Gigant Horse, he fights Go-BusterOh alongside Akudos until they both are killed by the Big Machine.

He is ordered by Akudos Gill to accompany the latter's son, Warz Gill, and assist him as his second-in-command. Due to Warz's personality, Damaras frequently questions his decisions and expresses curiosity about the Gokaigers' reasons for being on Earth. To this end, he sends the Sneak Brothers to infiltrate the Gokai Galleon and learn the pirates' intentions before hiring Basco Ta Jolokia to eliminate the pirates. However, Damaras' efforts to convince Warz to prioritize crippling the Gokaigers' chances of earning Great Powers are hindered by Warz's single-minded focus on Zangyack's invasion of Earth. After the Gokaigers kill Warz, Damaras vows vengeance but allows Akudos to relieve him of his position and send him to the brig out of shame despite being able to easily escape. Nonetheless, Akudos gives Damaras a chance to redeem himself if he executes the Gokaigers personally. The latter forces Basco to help him overpower the Gokaigers while he captures Marvelous, but a combination of Don's successful rescue attempt and Basco's treachery leaves Damaras wounded before his rematch against the Gokaigers. Damaras gets enlarged, but is killed by Kanzen GokaiOh.

Upon discovering she has no place in the Zangyack hierarchy, she attacks the Gokaigers personally with her giant robot, the Great Insarn (グレートインサーン, Gurēto Insān), to prove her worth to Akudos Gill, only for her robot to be destroyed by Shinken GokaiOh before she is killed by the Gokaigers.

However, the former committed treason while freeing the imprisoned Joe and sacrificed himself to cover his friend's escape. Following this, Bamick was forcibly converted into a cyborg by Zangyack scientist Zaien and had most of his memories erased save for his swordsmanship. While Barizorg eventually learns what happened to him, his programming makes him ignore the information. After Warz uses the Great Warz to overpower the Gokaigers, he sends Barizorg to kill them. The latter encounters and faces Joe in battle, during which he is killed, freeing Bamick's soul.

When the Gokaigers kill Wars and Damaras however, Akudos comes to Earth with the entire Zangyack fleet, assumes command of the invasion, and focuses his full attention on the Gokaigers. Once Insarn weakens them, Akudos sends his fleet to Earth to execute a planetary genocide and kill the pirates. Nonetheless, Navi, Marvelous, and Gai narrowly destroy the fleet.

Reception
Brody Salzman of The Tokusatsu Network praised the Gokaigers, saying that they "will be remembered for decades as one of the most unique teams, one of the most well thought out stories for the weekly episodic format, and as one of the most well-executed Sentai in Toei’s history." Salzman said that "between Ahim and Luka, Gokaiger features some of the most capable, kickass, expressive, and well-developed women rangers in all of Super Sentai even to this very day." Salzman said that Gai is "a tribute to fans, to the series history, and he’s a wonderfully executed foil who pushes the team forward." Alex of My Shiny Toy Robots said of the Gokaigers, "what makes [them] interesting is that they aren't straightforward heroes, nor do they want to be", and that their "detailed back stories [...] are all a pleasure to watch on screen without any significant weak element."
Salzman described Basco Ta Jolokia as the show's "secret story weapon", saying that "even if it would be nice to see more of the villains taking an active role in the story, Basco picks up the slack and creates tension where there was none before [and] turns the story into an even more cohesive whole." Alex praised Basco as "arguably its greatest villain (and possibly one of the best in Super Sentai in general)", saying that he is "the threat that keeps the audience glued."
