Character History
Megaforce
Gia is one of the five teenagers chosen by Gosei to save the world from the Warstar Aliens. She first fights alongside her team against Scaraba. TV STORY-Mega Mission
One day, she and Jake flirted with each other. When they saw alien ships capturing humans, they decide to follow the ships in one location and call the other Rangers to help them. After the battle, Jake complimented Gia about how good they are as a team. TV STORY-He Blasted Me With Science A week or so later, Jake and Gia gained access to the Land Brothers Zord. TV STORY-Stranger Ranger
Later, Gia and Emma are turned into worse enemies by Queen Beezara. When the two were reminded by the Rangers they were friends, they broke free from the spell and defeated Beezara. TV STORY-United We Stand
Super Megaforce
During the Armada's invasion, she and Jake return to the Command Center (Megaforce). Slowly the other rangers return to the CC, and Gosei presents them with the Super Megaforce powers.
Personality
Gia Moran is labeled as 'Miss Perfect', and it's hard to argue with that. Pretty, personable, strict, and a powerful martial artist, Gia is as intelligent as she is confident. She is also shown to be a tomboy. She's been best friends with Emma since they were little, and that's not going to stop just because they're in different social cliques now. The Yellow Ranger's constant success can be frustrating to her teammates, but she and her Tiger Zord are dependable to the end! Gia also plays hard to get, as she obviously has a crush on Jake, which develops later in Power Rangers Super Megaforce, but still refuses to admit it until the very end of the series with a kiss on the cheek. She was, however, completely aware that Jake liked her from the start.

Ranger Keys
The Megaforce Yellow Ranger Key is one of Gia's personal Ranger Keys. This key along with the majority of the Core Ranger Keys are seen lining the Command Center's interior walls. This key is mainly used by Gia Moran (Super Megaforce Yellow). It was shown when the Super Mega Rangers summoned their Megaforce Zords from their Legendary Megazord against the Armada. TV STORY-The Wrath
The Super Megaforce Yellow Ranger Key is one of Gia's personal Ranger Keys which allows her to morph into Super Megaforce Yellow. As with the other Super Megaforce Ranger Keys, this key is commonly used in the Super Mega Rangers' Ranger Key-compatible arsenal and zords for different functions and attacks.
Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Gia Moran was portrayed by Ciara Hanna.
When morphed, Gia was respectively portrayed by suit actors Mizuho Nogawa (野川 瑞穂 Nogawa Mizuho) (Megaforce Yellow; later served as Super Megaforce Pink), in footage from Goseiger, and Yuichi Hachisuka (蜂須賀 祐一 Hachisuka Yūichi) (Super Megaforce Yellow; previously served as Megaforce Pink), in footage from Gokaiger.
Production
- Early scripts listed her name as "Ava", just like Emily.
Notes
- Gia shares several traits with the first Yellow Ranger:
- She is the first Yellow Ranger since Ashley Hammond to have two Sentai counterparts.
- She and Jake Holling share the same element, Earth.
- She appears to have similarities to both her Sentai counterparts as strong and spunky female characters.
- As of Spirit of the Tiger she is the only one of the main five to have not met a legendary Ranger.
- She was the last female yellow ranger for four years (until Beast Morphers). Dino Charge didn't have a yellow ranger at all, Ninja Steel's yellow ranger was male.
- As Super Megaforce Yellow, she is a playable character in Power Rangers Legacy Wars.
- Her personality is very similar to Cassie Chan.
- Gia's Japanese voice actress is Yū Kobayashi.
- Gia retains the tough and tomboyish personality of her two Sentai counterparts, Moune and Luka Millfy.
Counterpart notes
- Gia shares a few things in common with 4 out of 5 of the other Super Mega Rangers in terms of counterparts:
- 5 of Gia’s counterparts (Yellow Aquitar Ranger, Yellow Wind Ranger, Yellow Mystic Ranger, Dino Charge Black Ranger and Ninja Steel Yellow) were originally male. Out of all the Super Mega Rangers, she has the most opposite gender counterparts.
- However, among these Yellow counterparts are 5 Rangers who were male in their Super Sentai adaptation (Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Galaxy Yellow, Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Yellow, Yellow Wild Force Ranger).
- This causes a minor continuity error as these Rangers gain skirts when Gia morphs into them, despite them never having skirts in their original series.
- However, among these Yellow counterparts are 5 Rangers who were male in their Super Sentai adaptation (Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Galaxy Yellow, Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Yellow, Yellow Wild Force Ranger).
- Ironically, even though Gia is a tomboyish "action girl," 4 of her counterparts (Yellow Turbo Ranger, Yellow Space Ranger, Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger and Yellow Samurai Ranger) were more feminine in nature.
- Her tomboy counterparts include Yellow Mighty Morphin Ranger, Zeo Ranger II Yellow, Galaxy Yellow, Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Yellow, Yellow Wild Force Ranger, Yellow Dino Ranger, S.P.D. Yellow Ranger, Yellow Overdrive Ranger and Ranger Operator Series Yellow.
Legendary Ranger Modes
- Gia's most transformed form is Jungle Fury Yellow, including her powered-up form; her least used form is Yellow Alien Ranger, Zeo Ranger II Yellow, Yellow Turbo Ranger, Yellow Space Ranger, Yellow Wind Ranger, Thunder Yellow and Supersonic Yellow. On the other hand, she never transformed into the Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Yellow, and the Yellow Overdrive Ranger.
Power Rangers Teamup Episode
- In the Legendary Battle, Gia and the other Megaforce Rangers teamed up with the Legendary Rangers. But in Super Ninja Steel, she is now one of the Legendary Rangers that helps the Ninja Steel Rangers.
