Legend War[]

Years later, Ryu 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. The Dia Jack powers are later used by Joe Gibken via the Ranger Keys.

Ranger Key[]

Dia Jack Ranger Key

The Dia Jack Ranger Key.

The Dia Jack [Citation needed]from 29 April 2023 (UTC), or Diajack[1] Ranger Key (ダイヤジャックレンジャーキー Daiya Jakku Renjā Kī) is Ryuu Higashi'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 Dia Jack Ranger Key was mainly used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), who used it to fight as Dia Jack.

The J.A.K.Q. keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The J.A.K.Q. keys were defeated by Super Gosei Red. Tvicon TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Ryuu received his key and became Dia Jack once more.

Notes[]

  • He is the first Blue Ranger to have "ryu" in his name, and the only one to have the "dragon" kanji as a part of his name.
  • His translated name in Eastern format is "East Dragon". This is a reference to the Azure Dragon (known as 青竜, Seiryu, in Japan), the Dragon Guardian Spirit of the East.
  • Ryu is the very first Sentai hero to use a sword in combat.
  • The Ishinomori Hero File Book revealed the concept designs of the J.A.K.Q. team. Dia Jack was originally intended to be the Red Ranger of the team; this was later changed, as his color was swapped for Spade Ace's original blue color, and Spade Ace became Red. [2]
  • Ryu is the only member of his team who did not join the Super Sentai Strongest Battle
