By unlocking the Greater Power of a previous team's Ranger Keys, the Gokaigers can access special powers, often activated with GokaiOh, based on the previous Super Sentai teams' mecha; or special powers that power up GokaiOh through gaining approvals from a member of the past Super Sentai teams. Most of the powers manifesting as mechas are completely redesigned and don the Gokaigers' symbol. The unlocking of a Greater Power is signaled when the Ranger Keys of the team that has been unlocked start to glow. Navi states that some Greater Powers are useless after obtaining the Carrangers' Greater Power.

During the events of Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, the Gokaigers obtain eleven Greater Powers from past Super Sentai teams (Gorenger, J.A.K.Q, Denziman, Goggle-V, Dynaman, Bioman, Turboranger, Dairanger, Boukenger, Go-Onger, and Goseiger). Aside from the Gokaigers, Basco managed to capture five Greater Powers into his possession (Sun Vulcan, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman, and Fiveman). Eventually, the search for the Greater Powers ended with the Gokaigers in possession of all 35 along with the Greatest Treasure in the Universe itself after they defeated Basco and took his five Greater Powers.
Greater Power is a yellow aura existing inside a Ranger and shared among the Sentai team's members. This power can be stored in the Ranger Keys to be used by the Gokaigers. It can also be concentrated in form of energy balls, identified by the team's respective logos, after being stolen by Basco, which then can be absorbed into the Ranger Keys.
The Greater Power of a Sentai team can be transferred remotely to the Ranger Keys when at least one member of the team approves the Gokaiger's worthiness. It can be transferred directly via a physical contact with the keys as well. Once the power is taken from a member of the Sentai team, all other members' Power will be lost too. It is revealed that inexperienced Sentai teams may be unaware of their own Greater Powers, like in cases of Gokaigers and Go-Busters. Some non-Ranger heroes also possess a Greater Power that the Gokaigers can use, such as the Kamen Riders.
Greater Powers by Sentai: The Variblune was the original mobile fortress of the Gorengers. Although it was destroyed and replaced with the Varidreen, it returns to combine with GokaiOh to form Goren GokaiOh, and uses the Gokai Hurricane: Cassiopeia for a finisher. The Gorengers' Greater Power was granted to them by Tsuyoshi Kaijo (Akarenger) during the return of his old enemy, the Black Cross King. The Variblune appears again in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger the Movie: The Flying Ghost Ship and once more to fly alongside Wing GoZyuJin during the penultimate episode.

The Changemen's Greater Power was taken by Basco, wiping out the Earth Defense Force as a result and taking the Greater Power using his Rapparatta from a male EDF member. Obviously, this man was a Changeman, but his face wasn't shown, so his identity is unknown. He could be either Hiryuu Tsurugi (Change Dragon), Shou Hayate (Change Griffin) or Yuuma Oozora (Change Pegasus). After the Gokaigers defeat Basco, it was formally issued by Shou. However, it still remains unknown if he was the EDF member that Basco had attacked or not.

Likewise, due to Basco's ability to traverse space with the Free Joker, he could have invaded one of the Flash planets to take the Greater Power either before coming to Earth or in the midst of his Greater Power hunt as a side quest if the Flashman were not on Earth itself after the Legend War. After the Gokaigers defeated him, it was formally issued by Dai (Green Flash). Aura is an energy source manipulated and controlled by the Maskmen; this is similar in concept as the Changeman's Earth Force, the Dairangers' Chi and the Gekirangers' Fierce Chi. While it is possessed by the Maskman themselves, Aura is also possessed by their second mecha, Galaxy Robo, which can utilize its power in sync with the team with its possession of an Aura Heart.
The Greater Power of the Maskman allows for Aura to surround GokaiOh's right hand, which does a front flip-flying karate chop known as the Gokai Aura Galaxy, which is similar to Iron Fist Aura Galaxy, Galaxy Robo's finisher, except the part to assume vehicle mode to build up speed. The Maskman's Greater Power was taken by Basco sometime before he took the Changeman Greater Power and the failed attempt at the Ohranger Greater Power. After the Gokaigers defeated him, it was formally issued by Akira, the former Blue Mask.
- Choujuu Sentai Liveman
He can combine with GokaiOh to form Gao GokaiOh, a centaur-type formation similar to GaoKentaurus. Gao GokaiOh's finishing attack is the Gokai Animal Hear, releasing a powerful energy beam from Gao Lion's mouth while executing two powerful slashes from the Gokai Ken swords. Substituting for the Shishi Origami, it can also form Shinken GokaiOh, the result of the Shinkengers' Greater Power. The Gokaigers gain access to GaoLion after Marvelous, Joe, and Luka saved a crowd of citizens from Action Commander Bowser and a platoon of Gormin, making them worthy in GaoLion's eyes to wield it's power.GaoLion was later struck down by the Zangyack during the penultimate episode. Karakuri Warrior Fūraimaru is the combination of the Fūrai Head and Fūrai Knuckle Karakuri Balls. Unlike its original form, Fūraimaru is green instead of navy blue, with elements of Tenkuujin. While the sun/moon is still on his body, it doesn't make up a majority of his body and it isn't on his chest. Fuuraimaru rides on a large shuriken that he uses as a weapon and can perform the Secret Finisher Crucifixion Shuriken, throwing the shuriken at an opponent. He combines with GokaiOh to form Hurricane GokaiOh, Hurricane Gokaioh resembling Senpuujin.
It is covered with shuriken and is armed with a weapon called the Shushutto Shuriken Chain. It has an attack called the Gokai Infinite Shuriken during which Hurricane GokaiOh sends off a flurry of shuriken that strike the target. Its Gokai Fuurai Attack finishing attack has Fuuraimaru separate from Hurricane GokaiOh before performing the Secret Finisher Turbulence Cherry Blossoms, using a cloning ninpou on himself to attack the target with multiple shuriken.
The Greater Power of Hurricanegers is granted to the Gokaigers by the Hurricaneger trio of Yousuke Shiina, Nanami Nono, and Kouta Bitou (HurricaneRed, HurricaneBlue, and HurricaneYellow respectively), after their team-up battle. Before that, however, Fūraimaru appeared to help a over-powered GoZyuJin pin down Sandaaru Jr. so Gokai Silver can destroy him. Fūraimaru was later shot off of his pinwheel/shuriken during the penultimate episode. The Abarangers' Greater Power is part of a trio of Greater Powers granted to Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver). The Greater Power of the Abarangers is granted to him by Mikoto Nakdai (AbareKiller), who also had given Gai his Gokai Silver Ranger Key and the Gokai Cellular. It is normally used for the GoZyuJin transformation via the AbareKiller Key, but Yukito Sanjyou (AbareBlue) teaches them that when the entire Abaranger Ranger Key Set is used, it enables the formation of GoZyu GokaiOh, where the Gokai Jet and Gokai Racer is swapped for GoZyuJin's arms. GoZyuJin was later shot out of the sky while using the Megarangers' Greater Power in the penultimate episode. The DekaMachine Patrol Striker, aka Patstriker, is DekaRed's personal mecha. It has a different design in this season than it had in Dekaranger, with some elements from the Blast Buggy. It combines with GokaiOh to form Deka GokaiOh, which resembles Dekaranger Robo. In this state, Deka GokaiOh can use the parts of the Pat Striker in its arms as firearms in its attacks and even have the Pat Striker separate from it to attack independently.
Deka GokaiOh's finishing attacks are the Gokai Full Blast, firing all built-in weapons at the opponent, and the Gokai Pat Strike. The Gokaigers gain access to it after Doggie Kruger (DekaMaster) taught Captain Marvelous the true meaning of being a Super Sentai Warrior.

In this state, Magi GokaiOh can fly and even have Magi Dragon separate from it to attack independently.
Magi GokaiOh's finishing attack is the Gokai Magi Bind, during which Magi Dragon is launched from GokaiOh and creates a series of magical seals around the opponent that crushes it. The Gokaigers gain access to it after after Don used courage to save Marvelous' life, a key emotion that the Magirangers use to summon their powers, during their chase against Kai Ozu (MagiRed). MagiDragon was later shot down in flames during the penultimate episode. The Boukengers' giant robot, the combination of the main five GoGo Vehicles, summoned by the Boukenger Keys.

When the Gokaigers use the Gekiranger Keys, they summon the GekiBeasts (GekiTiger, GekiCheetah, GekiJaguar, GekiWolf, and SaiDain). The GekiBeasts emerge from the limb hatches and the Gokai Hō to allow GokaiOh to perform a finishing attack called the Gokai Great Geki-Geki Beast. When the Gekiranger key is used in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger the Movie: The Flying Ghost Ship for attack, an actual physical (not merely Geki-manifestation) GekiTiger is released alongside other Greater Powers. The Gokaigers gain access to the GekiBeasts after Don and Ahim were taught the meaning of hard work through Juken basics by Jan Kandou (GekiRed). A hybrid between a falcon and a Formula-1 race car as well as the son of Speedor and Bear RV who ends his sentences with "Bari Bari!". He is summoned by the Go-Onger Keys. As an Engine, Machalcon's number is 13, with the 3 looking like three drag pipes.
The Go-Onger's Greater Power was given by Saki Rouyama (Go-On Yellow) in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle though the Gokaigers never discovered what it was until they encounter Sosuke Esumi (Go-On Red), who leads them to Machalcon. Later, Machalcon combined with GokaiOh to form Go-On GokaiOh. Able to move at fast speeds, Go-On GokaiOh can use Machalcon's Hover Mode to execute the Gokai Go-On Grand Prix, an overhead vertical slash attack. Machalcon was later beaten and sent back into Machine World Braneworld during the penultimate episode. The Shinkengers' main elemental kanji-based source of power, which they had used for a lot of purposes, including fighting Ayakashi. The access to Mojikara is summoned by the Shinkenger Keys and channeled through GaoLion, allowing GaoLion to combine with GokaiOh to form Shinken GokaiOh, similar to ShinkenOh wielding the Gokai Ken blades in the Gokai Naginata form, similar to the Daishinken's Naginata Mode used by Kajiki ShinkenOh.
Shinken GokaiOh has access to the five primary Shinkengers' Mojikara, enabling it to control the elements. Shinken GokaiOh's finishing attack is the Gokai Samurai Slash, summoning a giant Rekka Daizantou to execute a downward slash with flames of 1000°C (1,830 °F) emitting from it. The merging of GaoLion in the chest of the mech is similar both to Hyakujuu Gattai GaoKing, which was how it was originally used, as well as the appearance of the lion-like Shishi Origami in the ShinkenOh. The Mojikara is accessed after the team's bonds impress Kaoru Shiba (Princess Shinken Red) and they gain her approval. When the Gokaigers use the Goseiger Keys, they summon the Goseigers' main Gosei Headders (Dragon Headder, Phoenix Headder, Snake Headder, Tiger Headder, and Shark Headder), Skick Brothers, Landick Brothers, and Seaick Brothers to charge at the opponent in a finishing attack called the Gokai All Headders Great Charge. Goseiger's Greater Power was granted to the Gokaigers by the entire Goseiger team after the battle against the Black Cross King. Kanzen GokaiOh is the combination of GokaiOh, GoZyuJin, and Machalcon when the Greater Powers of the Gokaigers, the Kanzen Soul, is used and inserted into Machalcon. Kanzen GokaiOh can use the Kanzen Drill slash attack with it's right arm and the Kanzen Missiles attacks from the left-sided fingers. Kanzen GokaiOh's finishing move is the Gokai Kanzen Burst, where the oversized left fist is fired off of Kanzen GokaiOh and strikes the opponent with enough force to go through it. The Go-Busters' Greater Power was revealed to be the Buddy Roids. This manifests in the Phantom Ranger Keys tranforming into Buddy Roid Keys. When the Gokaigers use these new Buddy Roid keys, whatever Giant Robos are in the system can manifest giant keys such as this. These keys in turn can change into Megazord Keys in the style of various Super Sentai Giant Robos, allowing the Giant Robos in the field to transform into the classic Robos. This Greater Power is unique compared to that of the previous 35 Sentai in that it is not accessed by the Go-Busters' own Ranger Keys.
