Retsu Fukami (深見 レツ Fukami Retsu) is GekiBlue (ゲキブルー Geki Burū) of the Gekirangers. He is an employee of SCRTC and a Fierce Beast Jaguar-Fist (激獣ジャガー拳 Gekijū Jagāken) practitioner.
History[]
Gekiranger[]
Retsu was a child when his older brother Gou Fukami was believed to have been killed by Rio. This event traumatized him severely, to the point where years later he still possessed a deep hatred for Rio. He originally had a promising career in painting, but took a break to learn the same fighting style as his older brother. He had to find the same motivation that Gou had, rather than revenge.
He learned of moving sensation of a trance when he mastered Bat Li's Fierce Beast Bat-Fist (激獣バット拳, Gekijū Battoken) style. He knows various "Techniques" (技, Gi, also pronounced as Waza), putting them in first priority when training. His attention to beauty costs him stamina, making his "Body" his weakest point until he competed with Bion Biao in an endurance match (and emerges victorious) to obtain Extreme Ki. This training allows him to become Super GekiBlue (スーパーゲキブルー Sūpā Geki Burū). As Super GekiBlue, he uses the Fierce Beast Gazelle-Fist (激獣ガゼル拳 Gekijū Gazeruken) style and is the "Extremely Fantastic Technique" (「過激にファンタスティック・テクニック」 Kageki ni Fantasutikku Tekunikku).
The doppelganger of Retsu was created by Shiyuu. He used it as a revenge for Retsu cracking Shiyuu's armor with GekiFan. When he is in the shower room, he looks at himself in the mirror, when he turns away, his reflection moves differently. Retsu gets confused, touching the mirror, and the reflection pulls Retsu into the mirror. The doppelganger of Retsu was played by his actor's twin brother Shinpei Takagi.
During the final battle, Retsu is infused with Rageku's Confrontation Ki, and is then brought to an astral Confrontation Beast Hall to master the Confrontation Beast Jelly-Fist (臨獣ジェリー拳 Rinjū Jerīken), style to seal Long. Three months after Long's defeat, he is seen alongside Ran Uzaki teaching the Beast Fist to young kids at SCRTC.

A few years later, Retsu fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders. Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them, he gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada.

Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]
Retsu joined the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of Acrobat Team, but didn’t get to participate in the competition because his team was eliminated after losing the first round against Land, Sea, Air Team.
Personality[]
Retsu is very intelligent but also a bit selfish. He doesn't take interest in others, and gives an impression of extreme coldness. However, this behavior changes as the series progresses. Due to Retsu believing that Rio killed his brother, he despises Rio for said reason.
He believes that winning should be like a painting, complete and something that moves you.
Retsu is also seen to be quarreling with Jan at times, due to the their clashing personalities. But deep down, they really care for each other. And as the series progresses, they start to get along better.
He sometimes mixes English into his Japanese when speaking.

Ranger Key[]
- "Gekiranger!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The GekiBlue Ranger Key (ゲキゲキブルーレンジャーキー Geki Burū Renjā Kī) is Retsu Fukami's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The GekiBlue Ranger Key was mainly used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), who used it to fight as GekiBlue.
- When the Gokaigers became the Gekirangers in their fight with Cosmic Kenpō Master Pachacamac XIII. TV STORY-Ep. 7: Niki-Niki! Kenpō Lesson
- When the Gokaigers (bar Don) became the Gekirangers in order to use the Fierce Ki Infusion against Action Commander Shieldon in a vein attempt to penetrate his shield. TV STORY-Ep. 32: One Power
- When the Gokaigers became the Gekirangers while fighting Action Commander Zakyura. TV STORY-Ep. 33: Iiiit's a Hero!!
- When the Gokaigers became the Gekirangers and RinJyuKen Warriors while fighting Zangyack shortly before the team found out that Don was apparently a legendary hero. TV STORY-Ep. 42: The Strongest Man in the Universe
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Retsu received his key and became GekiBlue once more.
