Ryuji Iwasaki

"Blue Buster!"

Ryuji Iwasaki (岩崎 リュウジ) is the Special Mission Blue Warrior (特命 青い戦士, Aoi Tokumei Senshi) Blue Buster (ブルーバスター). He is a warrior with excellent fighting technique, as well as the oldest of the team. His partner BuddyRoid is Gorisaki Banana.

His Buster Power is super strength. However, this has an dangerous trade-off. When Ryuji uses his power too much, he starts to overheat, and has to take time to cool down, because if he completely overheats, his personality changes to a very violent person, and might do some lasting damage before shutting down.

Cool-headed and reasonable, Ryuuji is always one to keep his head in the game while his younger comrades bicker amongst themselves. While he knows he's the oldest of the group and acknowledges this, he hates it when anyone other than him mentions this and reminds him of his age.

Once he oveheats completely, however, he becomes sadistic and irritable and will lash out at anything he finds annoying.

Ranger Key
The Blue Buster Ranger Key (ブルーバスターレンジャーキー) is a Go-Buster Ranger Key which as part of the first three Go-Busters was released as part of the "Legends" series of toys. It only exists as a toy and it is unknown if it will appear in the series. Of course as with all Ranger Keys, should it exist, it would be able to transform one, i.e. Gokai Blue, into Blue Buster.
