In Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, there is a common occurance with the appearance of a legend, a shadow of their past Ranger form will appear over them momentarily. Though this normally happened with Red Senshi at first, it can happen with other Senshi, the first time this happens is in The Lost Forest when it happened to Hyuuga, even though Marika Reimon (DekaYellow) and Doggie Kruger (DekaMaster) appeared in Judgement Pirates.
 * In Now More Road Safety, unlike the other veteran rangers, when the Red Racer image appears in front of him, as expected as a Carranger, Kyousuke breaks the fourth wall and slaps the Red Racer image aside, getting Don's and Ahim's attention.
 * The Legend Shift happens in reverse in Wings are Eternal, where a shadow of Gai Yuki's human form appeared over his Ranger form.
 * Even a Legend's weapon gets a Legend Shift. In the episode One Power, the shadow of the Ohranger's Olé Bazooka appeared over the incomplete Gokai Galleon Buster.
 * During Ryo's (RyuuRanger) appearance, right before the battle started, he did his Ryuuranger pose and the last part of his team's rollcall. During the battle, it was revealed that he has learned some of the martial arts skills and abilities of two of his former Dairanger teammates: Daigo of the Heavenly Phantom Star (ShishiRanger) and Shoji of the Heavenly Gravity Star (TenmaRanger). As he battled Gormin with Gai, Gai Ikari notices his appearance alongside these two Dairanger Legend Shifts.
 * During Sosuke Esumi's Legend Shift, he does his Ranger roll-call pose as his Ranger form appears over him.
