Plot

In the Hayate's Way Ninja Academy, three of its pupils aren't exactly fitting in. But because of 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 Jakenja. 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.

Characters

Hurricangers

Three Ninja Students who are the survivors of the Hayate's Way Ninja Academy.

• Yousuke Shiina/Hurricane Red: The leader of the team, though a bit dim-witted, Yousuke's courage and determination make up for his slow-thinking. He works at a window cleaning service.

• Nanami Nono/Hurricane Blue: The only female on the team, she dreams to become a popstar. She has a semi-crazed manager who books her for everything, but when emergencies occur Nanami has to take off. While cute, the others try to stay on her good side. It is later shown she has developed feelings for Ishuu Kasumi and likewise.

• Kouta Bitou/Hurricane Yellow: The other male of the team, he's a firm believer in planning. He has a younger sister called Meiko whom he cared for when their parentes died in a car accident and they ended up in an orphanage. Because of his friendly nature, Kouta works at a daycare center.

Gouraijer

Originally the enemies of the Hurricanger until they put their differences aside. In episode 9, it was revealed that the Jakenja had wiped out Ikazuchi's Way Ninja Academy as well, leaving the Kasumi Brothers as the only survivors. After allying themselves with the Hurricanger (they didn't officially join until the end of the series as the two could not forsake their teachings), the two got jobs as construction workers.

• Ikkou Kasumi/Kabuto Raiger: The older Brother, called the "Horned Ninja". He develops a friendly rivalry with Yousuke later in the series.

• Isshuu Kasumi/Kugawata Raiger: The younger Brother, called the "Fanged Ninja". Later shown to have feelings for Nanami Nono.

Help

• Sensei Mugensai Hinata: Ninja master of Hayate's Way Ninja Acdemy. He turned himself into a hamster to evade his pursers, but he forgot the word that that would restore him to normal. Eventually he returned to his human form in the finale.

• Oboro Hinata: Mugansai's daughter, she provides the team's arsenal.

• Shurikenger: 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 permanantly. Has the ability to transform into Shurikenger Fire Mode, a quicker and deeper voiced version of himself, when he removes his main chest armor and the top of his helmet is rotated. Shurikenger apparently died in the finale when he destroyed Tenkuujin in a kamikaze attack to kill Satorakura, however he returned (albeit very briefly) for the Abaranger vs. Hurricanger team-up.

• 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 Raiina: Exlusive to the Hurricanger movie, she came from planet Asutoramu.

• Hyakujuu Sentai GaoRanger

• Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger

Arsenal

• Shinobi Medals: The Hurricanger, Gouraiger, as well as Shurikenger each possess their own personal Shinobi Medal. Their standard uses for both the Hurricanger 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.
• Keitaininto Hayate Maru: 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.

• Gouri Changer: The Changer devices for the Gouraijer. Ikkou and Isshu's personal Gouri Changer is shaped as their personal insect.

• Bari Thunders: Motorcycles that are used by the Gouraijer 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.
• Victory Gadget: Combination of the Triple (In the Quake Gadget formation) and Double Gadgets. The most powerful team based attack of the Hurricanger and Gouraijer.

• Shurikenzubatto: Shurikenger's personal weapon. Other than being used as a sword it can also be used as a baseball bat. The Shurikenzubatto's special attack is where Shurikenger can hit a hoard of baseballs at his opponent. The Shurikenzubatto can also be placed into Tenkuujin to use as a control stick.
• Ninja Misen: This 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 Hurricanger and Gouraijer to learn how to control Revolver Mammoth as well. Also with the Keitainincho Hayate Maru or Ikazuchi Maru it can be used as a gun based weapon.

Trivia

• The theme song to the series was sung by Takatori Hideaki.

• Whether intended or not, Shurikenger's "master of disguise" trait is reminiscent of Banba Soukichi (of JAKQ Dengeki Tai, played by Miyauchi Hiroshi), who also regularly disguised himself.

• 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.

• Before Shurikenger disguises himself as Detective Sasuke (Kunihiko Oshiba, also Mega Red in Denji Sentai Mega Ranger), 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.

• During both sentai team ups (with both Gaoranger and Abaranger), Oboro would break the fourth wall and talk to the audience stating "This is afterall a special" when something interesting in the mecha battles occurred. One was when the Shinboi Machines combined with the Poweranimals creating Tenraisenpuujin Sword and Shield Mode and when AbarenOh managed to materialize a kakure ball from Tyranno's mouth and unvieling a Gold Sword Slasher.
  • Hurricanger VS Gaoranger is the first Sentai team up movie to have the 6th members from both teams (Gaosilver and Shuricanger) show up. Power Rangers Time Force was the first in Power Rangers, however, to have all 12 characters show up (Titanium Lightspeed Ranger and Quantum Time Force Ranger). Hurricanger VS Gaoranger is also the 4th Sentai Crossover to have complete rosters from both teams. The 1st being JAKQ VS Goranger, 2nd GoGoV VS Gingaman (Bull Black shows up, and GoGoV didn't have a 6th hero except for Demon Hunter, a non-canon exclusive from another movie), 3rd was Timeranger vs. GoGo-V (TimeFire was present).

• The helmets for the Hurricangers (and Goraigers) closely resemble the "Zubasuit" helmet from Kaiketsu Zubat in the way their goggles and faceplates open.

• The component Shinobi Machines 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 Gouraijers make a slight reference to the other two Livemen (Black Bison, Green Rhino), since the last were horned mammals, and the Gouraijers 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.

• The Jakanja Warriors' name are the seven days of week: Manmaruba - Monday; Chuzubo - Tuesday; Wendinu (Wendy) - Wednesday; Sargain - Thursday; Furabijou - Friday; Satorakura - Saturday; Sandaru - Sunday.

• Asuza Yamamoto (Furabijou) and Yasuhiro Yamamoto (Kouta/Hurricane Yellow) are siblings

• During the series, Asuza Yamamoto (Furabijou) begins her relationship with Kyo Nobuo (Isshu/Kuwaga Raija). Actually, they are fiancées.

• All episode titles followed the scheme "(word/phrase) and (word/phrase)".
