Gokaiger

Years later, Hoshikawa 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 Zgormin commanders. Kaijou 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 DynaBlack powers are later utilised by Don Dogoier via the Ranger Keys.

Ranger Key

The DynaBlack Ranger Key.

The DynaBlack Ranger Key (ダイナブラックレンジャーキー, DainaBurakku Renjā Kī^?) is Ryuu Hoshikawa'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 DynaBlack Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as DynaBlack.

When the Gokaigers became the Dynamen while fighting Deratsueigar of the Zangyack Imperial Guard. Ep. 11: The Serious Rebellion
When the Gokaigers became the Dynamen while fighting a Zangyack force led by Insarn and Barizorg. Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
When the Gokaigers became the Dynamen in order to use the New Super Dynamite attack against Action Commander Shieldon in a vein attempt to penetrate his shield. Ep. 32: One Power
As part of a bombardment of changes in the final battle with Emperor Ackdos Gill. He used his ninja duplicating attack alongside Luka (Yellow Mask). Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

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 DynaBlack once more.

Notes

- Both teams have black Rangers (Fumiya Hoshikawa is FiveBlack)
- Both Ryuu and the Fivemen pioneered Super Rangers with their Power Protectors
Ryuu is the first "official" ninja Sentai hero (the heroes of Ninja Captor were part of a revoked Sentai, while Ryuu existed many years before official ninja-themed teams such as Kakuranger or Hurricaneger).
