i just started watching gekiranger and i'm on the episode of the 5 venom fists. one of the fists is named Moriya and he's a gecko. in the anime One Piece one of the enemies is named Gecko Moria. i was wondering if the two words have some sort of connection to each other or if this is some random coincidence.
also this is my first post on these forums so i'm sorry if this has been discussed before.

Re: same name
It's all in your head, no relationship whatsoever. Though I think Moriya might have banged Luffy's mom at one point.

Re: same name
Well, Moriya comes from the Japanese word for gecko yamori. If you notice, all the monster names are the animal name with the first syllable added to the end

Re: same name
well i didn't want to open a new topic and my question is of a similar nature to my previous topic so here i go again!
some of the Kensei have names that are obvious puns of real life martial artists. Bat Li is Bruce Lee (or Jet Li, i prefer the former) and Sharkie Chan is Jackie Chan. I was wondering who the other Kensei are named after if they are named after anyone at all. Does anyone know?

Gorie Yen - Donnie Yen
Michelle Peng - Michelle King
Bion Biao - Yuen Biao
Elehan Kinpo - Sammo Hung Gambou
Bat Li is Jet Li, Bruce Lee gets used later in the series. I searched a bit and can't find anything for Shafu though.
