- "The Steel Brave, Kyoryu Cyan!"
- ―Kyoryu Cyan's roll call[src]
Ramirez (ラミレス Ramiresu), also known as Kyoryu Cyan (キョウリュウシアン Kyōryū Shian), was chosen by the Zyudenryu Ankydon 500 years ago, to be the "Steel Brave" (鋼の勇者 Hagane no Yūsha). He appears in the present day in spirit form to grant the current-generation Kyoryugers the power of Ankydon.
Character History
First appearance
In life, Ramirez partnered with Ankydon during the Middle Ages to face the Debo Monster Debo Viruson. Having died in battle, Ramirez lingered on as a spirit. In the present, Ramirez appeared before Torin to present the Kyoryugers with Ankydon as Debo Batissier attacked.
He told them of how Ankydon was behaving strangely, and they promised to help after the Debo Monster was dealt with.
However, after Debo Batissier was destroyed, it was revealed Debo Viruson was controlling the Zyudenryu while severing Ramirez's bonds to it. TV STORY-Brave 5: Boom! The Cavities of Ankydon Despite knowing he would fade, Ramirez was still confident with Amy Yuuzuki removing Debo Viruson from Ankydon and restoring Ramirez.
Entrusting Ankydon to the Kyoryugers, Ramirez leaves Japan to find the remaining Zyudenryu yet to be found. TV STORY-Brave 6: Stop! Sing, Candelilla
Acknowledgement
Ramirez was included in Daigo's diagram of the Kyoryugers' mission, as Amy pointed out. Like the other Kyoryugers, Ramirez was depicted by a drawing of his helmet. TV STORY-Brave 7: Angry! Daigo's in Big Trouble
Freeing Utsusemimaru
Ramirez is summoned by Ankydon to help free Utsusemimaru from Dogold's control by merging his and Torin's brave spirits with Pteragodon's damaged Zyudenchi and Daigo fires it at Dogold, eventually freeing Utsusemimaru. TV STORY-Brave 10: Zander! Gold Revives
After being freed, Utsusemimaru initially distanced himself from the Kyoryugers. Looking at Utsusemimaru's act, Torin felt sad and wondered what happened to him, but Ramirez told him not to worry, assuring him that Utsusemimaru would finally join them eventually. Ramirez also told him that they must be alert for the eighth Zyudenryu, Bunpachy, which he was getting closer to finding in the coming days. TV STORY-Brave 11: Utchi! How Cool
Kyoryu Gray
Kyoryu Cyan eventually found Bunpachy at the Mannen Falls in China, and met with the Zyudenryu's partner, Tessai (Kyoryu Gray), who he referred to as "Mr. Gray." Sensing the return of Debo Nagareboshi, Tessai decided to head to the Golden Land and have the Kyoryugers prove themselves before he entrusted Bunpachy to them. Ramirez asked him if he was sure about it and if there was a gentler way to handle them than what he had in store, but Kyoryu Gray said there was no other way, as he was a remarkably hard-headed individual. TV STORY-Brave 17: Clashing of Teeth! Kyoryu Gray
Ramirez later witnessed the awakening of Bunpachy at Mannen Falls, pleased to see the Zyudenryu joining the Kyoryugers. After the Kyoryugers defeated Debo Nagareboshi with their new Kyoryuzin Kung-Fu formation, a combination of Gabutyra, Ankydon, and Bunpachy, he met with Tessai again, welcoming him back and noting that only two of the Ten Great Zyudenryu were left. Tessai revealed that Plezuon would be returning soon, and that the real problem was Bragigas. Ramirez joined Tessai, assuming their spirit forms and taking off to find him. TV STORY-Brave 18: Exhausted! Kung-Fu Strike
Tanabata
With his search taking him to Belgium, Ramirez briefly returned to the Spirit Base on Tanabata with a little souvenir, a box of Belgian ice cream which he gave to the Kyoryugers before taking his leave. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Ramirez, Utsusemimaru's Tanabata wish was to eat a mountain of ice candy, weakening him as he unknowingly made the wish on a piece of paper from the body of Debo Tanabanta. TV STORY-Brave 20: Unlucky! Tanabata's Windfall
Armed On Midsummer
Ramirez and Tessai appeared before Daigo and Utsusemimaru while they were facing the revived spirts of the holiday Debo Monsters Debo Tanabanta and Debo Tangosekku, who were both possessing Nobuharu. Explaining that spirits are drawn to the Golden Land at this time as summer is the season of ghosts, Ramirez and Tessai proceeded to punch the Debo Monster spirits out of Kyoryu Blue while revealing that the spirits of the Dinosaurs were here as well. The Dinosaur spirits gave Daigo and Utsusemimaru their power which manifested as Spirit Ranger versions of the Plezuon and Pteragordon Zyudenchi respectively, giving them special Armed On forms which allowed them to destroy the spirit Debo Monsters. TV STORY-Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: It's Here! Armed On Midsummer Festival!!
Return
Ramirez appeared along with Tessai in an attempt to save Torin but sadly they arrived too late. After the group realizes they may have a way to revive Torin, Endorf along with Dogold and Debo Karyudosu attack them. Ramirez, Tessai and Yayoi stayed to fight the Deboth Army while the other Kyoryugers headed to the Spirit Base to revive Torin. All three fought until Endolf gained the upper-hand on the Spirit Rangers. Daigo and the newly revived Torin came in to assist them. All three witnessed the reveal of Kyoryu Red Carnival's Biting Changes while as they took out the last of Endolf's assembled forces. TV STORY-Brave 29: Great Clash! Carnival Dances
Reviving Bragigas
After the Kyoryugers manage to find almost all the Lost Stones, he and Tessai inform them the location of the last Lost Stone along with Bragigas's location. The Kyoryugers arrive at Lake Madō where both the stone and Bragigas are located, but Debo Tairyon appears to stop them from getting the last stone. While fighting, they notice Dantetsu is retrieving the stone as a result the lake soaked up, revealing Bragigas. After the six main Kyoryuger and Torin defeat the Debo Monster they are sent out of Bragigas. Both he and Tessai tell the Kyoryuger not to worry and trust Torin. TV STORY-Brave 34: Resurrection! Bragigas' Arrival
He and Tessai later on try to find a way to enter the Land of Darkness until they encounter Mad Torin. TV STORY-Brave 35: Super Awesome! Gigant Kyoryuzin Both are horribly defeated by him and losing a lot of Spirit Power in the process. They are recovered by the remaining Kyoryugers and take their leave to restore their power. TV STORY-Brave 36: Giga Gaburincho! The Silver Miracle
10 Kyoryugers Unite
As Ramirez was replenishing his spirit, he along with Tessai and Torin were ambushed by an army of Zorima, but managed to fight them off. They later join with the other Kyoryugers to restore Mikoto back to normal and fight D's army. TV STORY-Brave 39: Full Array! The Ten Great Kyoryu Powers
However, Ramirez overused his Spirit Power and as a result weakened his powers once more. He then is taken in by Nobuharu and his family. Later on he helps Yuko get to safety as Nobuharu fought Debo Kantokku. As he was fighting off the Zorima, he was caught off guard by Yuko's strength and noted her as a strong lady. TV STORY-Brave 40: Good and Cool! It's Tough Being an Old Man
Christmas
During Christmas, he joins the Kyoryuger to fight the fake Deboth in Hawaii along with Tessai and Yayoi. Having a hard time fighting Deboth, Bunpachy arrives to help them as they manage to finish off the fake Deboth. TV STORY-Brave 41: Yanasanta! Deboth’s World War They return to Japan and help finish off Debo Yanasanta with the other Kyoryugers. TV STORY-Brave 42: Wonderful! Christmas of Justice
Final Battle
Before the final battle begins, Ramirez found Yuko as his replacement to be Kyoryu Cyan before he and Tessai help Torin dealing with the Debo Monsters in hell. TV STORY-Brave 47: The Great Counterattack! The Greatest Final Brave
While fighting the monsters, Chaos appears in hell, but Candelilla and Luckyuro also arrive to help them as they finish Chaos off together as a result destroying the Land of Darkness. Sometime after Deboth is defeated, the Zyudenryu return to Earth as Daigo reveals to be alive from the destruction. He, along with Tessai and Torin watch over the Kyoryugers before they vanish. TV STORY-Brave Final: Great Explosion! Goodbye, Kyoryuger
Transformation
As Ramirez is a Spirit, he doesn't have a Gaburivolver to transform, mainly due to the fact that the guns were made well past Ramirez's time; instead, he directly uses the Brave in his Zyudenchi to transform. After activating his Zyudenchi, Ramirez raises the it above his head and announces “Spirit Ranger, Fire!” (スピリットレンジャー、ファイヤー! Supiritto Renjā, Faiyā!). The Battery fires a Brave construct of Ankydon's head, flies around Ramirez and then goes behind him, “biting” down to create the suit and outer part of the helmet. The helmet then bites down to complete itself after the suit slims Ramirez down a bit.

Ranger Key
The Kyoryu Cyan Ranger Key (キョウリュウシアンレンジャーキー Kyōryū Shian Renjā Kī) is a Kyoryuger Ranger Key released as part of a set of thirteen Kyoryuger Ranger Keys in Bandai Premium. It is unknown if it will appear in a future crossover. Of course as with all Ranger Keys, should it exist, it would be able to transform one, i.e. one of the male Gokaigers, into Kyoryu Cyan.
Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Ramirez is portrayed by Robert Baldwin (ロバート・ボールドウィン Robāto Bōrudowin), who previously portrayed Gordo in Chousei Kantai Sazer-X. As Kyoryu Cyan, his suit actor is Jiro Okamoto (岡元 次郎 Okamoto Jirō), who is also the suit actor for Torin.
Notes
- He is the second male Sentai Ranger to have a light blue suit, after Saizou/NinjaBlue.
- He is the first light blue ranger that is actually referred to as "cyan" as he's not his team's main Blue Ranger.
- He is the first official Ranger of Caucasian descent in Super Sentai history, as well as the first human Ranger with no Japanese ancestry.
- He is the first Ranger based on an Ankylosaurus.
- Kyoryu Cyan is similar to DekaMaster and MagiMother in that while he is the sixth ranger to appear in his series, the actual 6th Ranger would debut later on (who sports the number 6 somewhere in his arsenal for added effect).
- Kyoryu Cyan bears a resemblence to the Ankylosaurus Yummy from Kamen Rider OOO, as he too is colored light blue and his head is the same shape as Kyoryu Cyan's helmet.
