Ayase (アヤセ, Ayase) is TimeBlue (タイムブルー, Taimu Burū) of the Timerangers. Formerly a racer, this calm-headed 22 year old (33 as for the Great Legend War in Gokaiger) figure has a knack for high-speed battles and a deadpan sense of humor.
Biography
Timeranger
Ayase has the incurable terminal heart disease Osiris Syndrome (オシリス症候群, Osiris Syndrome), he can live only until 1 or 2 years. Still, he cannot finish giving up his dream even when coming in the 20th century. He is also close friends with Tatsuya Asami. His deadpan sense of humor often causes him to argue with Domon frequently.
When Tatsuya found out about Ayase's illness, he was determined to help his friend. However, when Ayase was suffering from his illness it was a shock to the other Timerangers when Tatsuya was forced to tell them about Ayase's illness, which caused them, especially Domon, to want Ayase to quit for the sake of his health, though Ayase managed to convince them to let him remain on the team. Despite his terminal condition, during the Emboss incident, Ayase was strongly determined to prevent the victims of Emboss' virus from suffering like he had. This led him to handle the set-up with Naoto to pay Don Dolnero money in return for getting the cure to Emboss' virus and also led Ayase to attack Naoto when his attempt to use a hidden bomb in the briefcase he brought to eliminate the Londerz endangered their chances of obtaining the antidote and put the victims at further risk because of Naoto's selfish actions.
Ayase, who is the only Timeranger that has a drivers license, works as an escort at Tomorrow Research. His name in 20th century is Shinnosuke Ayase (綾瀬 慎之介, Shinnosuke Ayase). In the corrected future at the end of the series, a cure for Osiris Syndrome was found and Ayase was cured. However, he abandons that future and resisted Ryuya and saved the present with Yuuri, Domon, Sion, although it's possible he received treatment later on.

Transformation and Roll Call
Ranger Key
The TimeBlue Ranger Key.
The TimeBlue Ranger Key (タイムブルーレンジャーキー, Taimu Burū Renjā Kī) is Ayase'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 TimeBlue Ranger Key was mainly used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), who used it to fight as TimeBlue. It was also used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green) on one occasion.
The Timeranger 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. Splitting up, the puppet TimeBlue was defeated as part of a group of surviving Blue warrior keys by Gokai Blue and Super Gosei Blue. 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. Ayase received his key and became TimeBlue once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
