## Plot

Grandiene has been waiting for the day of resurrection, the day when the planets are in the alignment of the Grand Cross. Her children descend to the Earth to make it a realm of darkness for her. Ten years prior, Professor Tatsumi of the Tatsumi Disaster Prevention Institute predicted this event, but nobody believed him. He left his family so he can secretly develop and construct the Rescue System. Now in 1999, Professor Tatsumi appears again to give the means to save the world to his children.

## Notes

 File:Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive The Complete Series.jpg
* The basis of this season connects to the number "99" in multiple ways:
	+ A reading of "99" is "Kyuukyuu", which is Japanese for "first-aid" and generally used at the start of many terms connected to rescue and emergency matters.
	+ The year of the return of Grandiene was 1999, a possible year predicted by many as the year of the end of the world (which was also a basis for previous Sentai *Chouriki Sentai Ohranger*).
	+ The sentai series was released in Japan in 1999.
* Grandiene's creation four billion years prior to the start of the series marks the earliest event in the Super Sentai Timeline.
* GoGoFive is currently the last Sentai series not to add any additional rangers in the main series, as Demon Hunter Zeek and Zeek-Jeane are movie exclusive.
* GoGoFive is the last season to have aired in the 1990's with the following season, Mirai Sentai Timeranger, airing fully in the 2000's, hence the theme of Timeranger.
* Actor Joe Odagiri had auditioned for a role in this show, but failed to land one. He would later go on to portray the lead role of Kamen Rider Kuuga, Yusuke Godai.
	+ Shou/GoGreen's actor, Atsushi Harada, would go on to portray Shuji Mihara/Kamen Rider Delta in 2003's *Kamen Rider 555*. Years later, Nagare/GoBlue's actor, Masashi Taniguchi, portrayed Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha in 2016's *Kamen Rider Amazons*.
