What makes it so distinct from Dairanger is that it takes a more grounded and practical approach to the martial arts concept. For example, they have a sportswear brand as a front and base of operations, while Dairanger suits hinted at traditional and mystical aspects of martial arts, Gekiranger took a modern approach taking cues from Bruce Lee's uniform from Game of Life and Death for the suits (excluding Violet and Chopper).

Gekiranger's countless homages and parodies towards Kung Fu flicks are also what makes the show fun to watch. The voice actors of the 7 masters for instance, are all people who voice famous Kung Fu actors regularly (i.e. Ikeda Shuichi who voices Bat Li is a regular pick for voice-overs of Jet Li in Japan). Even the Godokuken fighters are such a great homage to the Five Venoms movie by the Shaw Brothers.

And the mecha battles being presented in the form of a match thanks to Bae is also what made the mecha battles fun.
