"Aorenger!"
―Aorenger's roll call[src]

Akira Shinmei (新命 明 Shinmei Akira) is Aorenger (アオレンジャー Ao Renjā, Blue Ranger) of the Gorengers, with the designation number "2". He was training in the snow-draped Touhoku region with his EAGLE branch. He is the second-in-command to Akarenger.

History[]

Gorenger[]

Akira survived

Akira survived after the Black Cross Army attacked.

When the Black Cross Army launched an assault on the EAGLE bases in Japan, a force led by Warrior Mask attacked the Touhoku base, slaughtering everyone with only Akira surviving. Along with the survivors of the other bases, Akira was summoned to Snack Gon, the secret gateway to EAGLE Japan's main command center by Japan's EAGLE Commander Edogawa Gonpachi. Edogawa told them that they are the Secret Squadron "Gorenger", the world's best chance against the forces of the Black Cross Army. Their first battle was with Gold Mask, who they destroyed with the Gorenger Storm. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Crimson Sun! The Invincible Gorengers

Years later, Akira 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, his team's leader, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He then gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The Aorenger powers are later used by Joe Gibken via the Ranger Keys. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear Tvicon TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Ranger Key[]

Aorenger Ranger Key

The Aorenger Ranger Key.

The Aorenger Ranger Key (アオレンジャーレンジャーキー Ao Renjā Renjā Kī) is Akira Shinmei'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 Aorenger Ranger Key was mainly used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), who used it to fight as Aorenger. Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver) also became Aorenger on one occasion.

The Gorenger 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. At the start of the battle, the Gorengers had a brief skirmish with the two teams alongside the keys of three recent teams, the Gekirangers, Go-Ongers, and Shinkengers. The Gorengers appeared again after all the other puppets were defeated, with a Gorenger Hurricane ball being kicked at Gokai Red and Super Gosei Red. The Gorengers stood behind the three recent teams who fired their cannons at the Gokaigers and Goseigers, who countered with their team finishers, taking down the three teams as Gokai Red and Super Gosei Red finished off the fake Gorengers. 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. Akira received his key and became Aorenger once more. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
