Character History

Dekaranger

Banban was a rookie on Planet Chambeena, who was promoted to the Earth Branch S.P.D. after pursuing Diamantian Don Moyaida. However during the pursue, Banban found a victim of Moyaida who is a boy admired at Special Police, he made a promise to the boy that he will became the No.1 Special Police as a way to achieve the boy's dream and a devotion for himself.

During his time on Earth, he was made the leader of his team, though Houji would be left in charge during several situations.

For once, he met Zoinaian Baytonin, whom had met Ban's ancestor but was tricked by Abrella into thinking the Dekarangers as invaders. He was given Doggie's D-Sword Vega for a moment and defeated the alien as well as convinced him that some of people nowadays were trying to protect their historic heritage.

During Dynamoian Terry X's attack, he witnessed Houji and Jasmine's recklessness when fighting the Alienizer that had injured Gyoku Rou, Ban's predecessor. Seeing the effect the case was having on the two, Ban tracked down Rou after forcing information on Rou's location from Supreme Commander Horusian Numa-O using unconventional means. Ban and Rou returned to Earth and, after being reminded to keep their emotions at bay, Hoji and Jasmine, along with the other members of Earth branch, defeated Terry X.

After Rainian Agent Abrella had invaded the DekaBase and attempted to use it as a weapon to destroy Space Police branches, Ban and his teammates fought against Abrella's forces of escaped criminals and finally deleting him for good. Gyoko visited Ban and recruited him in the Fire Squad, which Ban accepted, causing him to leave the Earth Branch's S.P.D. but not his bonds with his former teammates.

Magiranger vs. Dekaranger

In Magiranger vs. Dekaranger, Ban returns to help his old team when Jasmine gets kidnapped though he's on the search for Agent X at the time. During his time with FireSquad, he gained a upgrade called DekaRed Battlizer, where the modified Murphy becomes a suit of armor and powerful sword for him to use in the fight. He was at odds with Kai Ozu/MagiRed, the Sentai Red of Magiranger. But eventually, the two manage to settle their differences and finally taking down the agent. While the Sentai teams celebrating their victory, both Ban and Kai showed each others' crush, with Houji asked him if Ban "popped the question" to her.

After Kruger and the Gokaigers defeated a Zangyack Action Commander that was a wanted Alienizer, Ban met up with them and informed them that the alleged acts of piracy by the Gokaigers were proven to be a hoax instigated by the Zangyack Empire. Though the pirates were free to go as he takes Kruger, Ban warns Captain Marvelous not to abuse the Dekarangers' powers with a promise of personally hunting him down with less mercy as Kruger had shown to the pirate.

10 Years After

Ten years after his battle against Abrella ended, Ban was given another upgrade in his DekaRed suit and wears an entirely new uniform instead of the regular one he used in his early days. After his former commander Doggie Kruger allegedly became an Alienizer, Ban returned to Earth to investigate the case. Ban, along with Umeko, visits Jasmine who has a son with Hikaru Hiwatari. Ban convinces her to return to work with the case in which she thinks twice.

Ban later uses his Fire Squad license to disguise himself as Carrie while the real Carrie is brought to the Dekabase in a remote planet in order to protect her as being witness to her dad's murder. At the same time, he is about to discover the truth about the Neo Dekarangers, Assam Asimov (his replacement as DekaRed) and Mugi Grafton (who replaced Jasmine as DekaYellow) working undercover with an Alienizer. As Carrie, he is being handcuffed by Assam and Mugi and they bought him in a warehouse before Umeko discovers them. By surprise, Ban reveals himself after taking off his Carrie disguise and he, alongside Umeko and the original Dekarangers to battle Assam, Mugi and Kight Reidlich, who reveals to be the mastermind behind the framing of Doggie Krueger and the murderer of Carrie's father. After Tetsu, piloting the Dekaranger Robo, destroys the giant Clone Abrella, Ban and the team proceeds to battle Assam, Mugi and Kight, until Kight uses Assam and Mugi to power himself up. Doggie later shows up to lend Ban his D-Sword Vega and he uses it to destroy Kight once and for all. Afterwards Ban decides to leave before he got too accustomed to being back on Earth, but reminds the others that while they may be apart, their hearts will always be one.

"Keep on going when you return home. Do your best!"

―Ban to Lucky

On patrol in Pat Striker, Ban witnessed a Moaider and several Voyagers come through a wormhole before falling to Earth. Contacting Doggie Kruger at Neo DekaBase, Ban began an investigation which discovered that the wormhole led to another universe and was closing. Realizing that those who came through would be soon stranded, Ban summoned his former teammates to assist RyuTeiOh in keeping the wormhole open using the DekaWing Robo.

Meanwhile, Ban caught up with Space Sheriff Gavan, Geki Jumonji, who was engaged alongside Lucky/Shishi Red and Naga Ray/Hebitsukai Silver in a confrontation against Mardakko of the Space Shogunate Jark Matter. Recognizing the Kyurangers as a rookie Space Sentai, Ban fought alongside his fellow Red Lucky against Mardakko while Gavan and Hebitsukai Silver took down her Deathworm. Beating Mardakko back, all four heroes combined their finishers to destroy her, recovering the Rashinban Kyutama for the Kyurangers. When the Deathworm enlarged, Ban watched with Naga as Lucky and Geki respectively rode the Ryu Voyager and Electronic Starbeast Dol to finally destroy it. Ban finally urged Lucky to keep to his fight when he returned to his universe. TV STORY-Space.18: Emergency Dispatch! Space Hero!

Hand-Off

DekaRed meets MagiRed.

DekaRed was the first Sentai Red to have a Hand-Off to his successor at the end of his final episode.

MagiRed appears before DekaRed, by a stark black background through a spark of fire. Both Rangers give each other a high five, and turn their attention toward the viewers.

Super Sentai Versus Series Theater

Alata as Ban.

Ban's appearances in the "Versus Series", Dekaranger vs. Abaranger and Magiranger vs. Dekaranger, are featured in the Super Sentai Versus Series Theater, hosted by the heroes of Tensou Sentai Goseiger. Alata (Gosei Red) also dresses as Ban in the Dekaranger/Magiranger cosplay.

Akibaranger

The imaginary DekaRed with Ban's voice encourages Nobuo Akagi.

The unofficial Sentai series Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger starts off with die-hard Super Sentai fan Nobuo Akagi daydreaming that he is Ban, with red duct tape around his legs and the S.P.D. logo taped to the back of his jacket, covering the logo of where he actually works, which ironically has the same acronym (Sasaki Ponpoko Delivery), in an attempt to resemble Ban's uniform. The tape is promptly ripped off by his boss when he walks in, addressing her as Umeko. TV STORY-Ep. 1: Lameness is Power

In Nobuo Akagi/AkibaRed's roll call in the first episode of the first season of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, he says "Banban is my favorite Dekaranger!" TV STORY-Ep. 1: Lameness is Power

After becoming AkibaRed, discovering that his new position as leader of the Akibarangers is actually a delusion, Nobuo bumps into Ryuji Sainei - Ban's actor - who is dressed in his S.P.D. uniform as he is on his way to a press conference for the Japanese dub of Power Rangers S.P.D.. When Nobuo becomes disillusioned, he sees a DekaRed who speaks to him in signs and snaps him out of it with the same drop kick Ban used to snap Hoji out of it in Dekaranger. What Nobuo didn't know was that the DekaRed he saw was actually a suit actor paid by Hiroyo Hakase. An delusion DekaRed later appears during the battle of Akibarangers and Team Evil Stemer Corporation and encourages Akiba Red. He grants the Akibarangers the Dekarangers' Inordinate Power, transforming into the Deka Wapper, allowing the Akibarangers to defeat Shibuyakouzorinahigenagaaburamushi.

Personality

Nickname, "Ban" (バン, Ban), although Jasmine has called him "Ban-chan" on one occasion. He was training in space until he was assigned to the Earth Unit. He has a chaotic, but fiercely loyal and friendly personality. However, ever since his enlistment in the Fire Squad, Ban had become more matured and, on a few occasions, seemed to have a cold outlook. Irritates Houji by calling him "aibou", which translates to "buddy" or "partner".

He has a special martial arts technique called Juu Kun Do when he blends his martial arts skills with his dual guns. Ban also has a sword technique called Azaka Style: Raijin-Ken passed down by his ancestor. Ban rides in Machine Doberman with Jasmine when patrolling. In the series finale, Ban joined the S.P.D. Fire Squad as a new elite officer.

In both of the Dekaranger teamups, Ban notably had initial trouble in getting along with the red ranger members Ryouga and Kai from the Abaranger and Magiranger teams at first, which lead to an argument, until they bonded with him seeing how similar their goals were. Ban also called Kai "aibou" in the team-up, his affectionate term usually reserved for Houji, much to the latter's annoyance.

When he appeared in Gokaiger, Ban had become more reserved.

By 10 Years After and Gavan vs. Dekaranger, Ban seems to have returned to a much more warm and friendly nature, lacking his previous hostile outlook and his relationship with Houji is much more warm and better compared to their early days, as the two are shown to be on good-on terms with each other.

The DekaRed Ranger Key.

"Dekaranger!"

―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement

The DekaRed Ranger Key (デカレッドレンジャーキー, Deka Reddo Renjā Kī) is Banban Akaza'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 DekaRed Ranger Key was mainly used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who used it to fight as DekaRed. It was also used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green) on one occasion and Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver) on two occasions.

• Don became DekaRed as part of an all-red Gokai Change when the Gokaigers traveled to the past and fought against Shitari of the Bones and his Gedoushu during the Goseigers' team-up with the Shinkengers.

• While fighting Gaisorg. TV STORY-Battle2: The Secretive Armor of Mystery

The Dekaranger 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 DekaRed was defeated as part of a group of surviving Red warrior keys by Gokai Red and Super Gosei Red. 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. Banban received his key and became DekaRed once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

DekaRed Zyudenchi

The Super Sentai Zyudenchi (スーパー戦隊獣電池, Sūpā Sentai, Super Squadron Beast Batteries), alternatively named Legend Sentai Zyudenchi (レジェンド戦隊獣電池, Rejendo Sentai Jūdenchi, Legend Squadron Beast Batteries) in the toyline, are a special line of Zyudenchi that contain the likeness of the Sentai teams before Kyoryuger (represented by the main Reds). These Zyudenchi are in the same fashion as the "Legend Rider" lines of Collectible Devices in the Kamen Rider Series.

A Dekaranger Zyudenchi which bears the likeness of DekaRed is part of the Legend Sentai Zyudenchi toyline which can be used in Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O.

Dekaranger Ressha

The Legend Sentai Ressha (レジェンド戦隊レッシャー, Rejendo Sentai Ressha) are Ressha based on the mecha, specifically those belonging to the Red heroes, of the ToQgers' preceding Super Sentai teams. They can form a unique combination of ToQ-Oh reminiscent of past Sentai Robos by switching with Red Ressha. The ToQ Changer toy is shown to have sounds for Legend Ressha of all 37 previous Sentai.

Dekaranger Ressha (デカレンジャーレッシャー, Dekarenjā Ressha) - Appears as an SG Ressha. The actual ToQ Ressha is likely based off of DekaRed's personal vehicle Pat Striker; should it replace Red Ressha in ToQ-Oh, it would most likely form ToQ-Oh Dekaranger Robo.
