Banban was a rookie on Planet Chambeena who was assigned to delete the intergalactic jewel thief Diamantian Don Moyaida. However during the pursuit, Banban finds a victim of Moyaida; a boy who admired the Special Police and he makes 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. He then hunts down Moyaida in Pat Striker and, after getting his deletion approved by the Universal Supreme Court, seemingly kills Don Moyaida by running his Heavy Industrial Machine off the road. he is then promoted by his superior to the Earth division of SPD and arrives just as the Earth Dekarangers are having trouble with a Batsuroid. Upon arriving, he morphs and defeats the Batsuroid and its Anaroids but unfortunately destroys the Batsuroid with his D-Magnums instead of taking it in for questioning. Despite this mistake, Doggie Kruger makes Banban the leader of his team though Houji is left in charge during several situations. TV STORY-Episode. 01: Fireball Newcomer

Ban develops feelings for her and is upset when she betrays them to free her planet but becomes enraged when the Gas Drinkers betray her and inject her with the virus used to infect her planet. The Dekarangers summarily delete most of the Gas Drinkers with Ban having a personal fight with the group's leader Algolian Volka who is soon deleted and Mary is saved in time.

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

They then do battle, Ban overpowering and crippling Abrella with his D-Magnum combination before judging him for crimes against the universe of which he is found guilty. Abrella screams that defeating him is pointless since all criminals want money but Ban rebuts that everyone has the desire to do good and thus cruelty will never thrive before they delete him with the D-Bazooka. After this, Banban leaves to join the Fire Squad which forces him to leave the Earth Branch's S.P.D but not his bonds with his former teammates. TV STORY-Episode. 50: Forever Dekaranger

Akibaranger[]

The tape is promptly ripped off by his boss when he walks in, addressing her as Umeko. TV STORY-Ep. 1: Lameness is Power

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 Houji 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.

20th: Fireball Booster[]
Ban first time appears in the front of the Dekarangers after they fight against Raenjo. It turns out that the Premier DekaRed was his junior, Rui Edogawa. While touring the new base, Ban recalls while at planet Chima, he and entire Fire Squad team (including Rui), trying to arrest Tarewarane, a narcotics king. After Tarewarane's death, his right-hand man, Rottomen, flees from Ban.
After Swan knowing that the next explosion is located at St. Mater Church, Ban and Umeko decided to go there since he lost contact with Rui. Once arrives at the church, Ban figures out that Raenjo is actually from planet Yoshiwa, but she reveals her different anger and happiness than anyone. As Houji arrives and shot Marple, with Ban says that Rottomen is pretended as a tiny alien. Once Marple shows his true form as Rottomen, he recalls when he flees from Ban after Tarewarane is deleted. Rottomen then escapes, with Ban and Umeko go after him.
As the other Dekarangers decided to fight against Nehirumo with Dekaranger Robo, Ban goes into battle against Rottomen alone, with Houji returned to the base. Rottomen then overwhelms Ban, causing him became defenseless. As Rottomen are about to finish off Ban with the fireball, suddenly Houji intervenes and slashes the fireball with D-Sword Vega, saving him on time. Houji asks Ban to take the sword to fight against Rottomen because he didn't want to lose him. As Rui are about to transform, but Ban instead takes his SP License, telling him that he had trying hard to train him to endure everything, and he asks Rui to saw him in action to prove that he still can fight 20 years later. Ban then transforms into Premier DekaRed and went into battle against Rottomen once again. After Nehirumo was destroyed, Ban is trying to hit Rottomen, but he slipped, causing the sword to stick to the ground. As the Dekarangers arrives for watching, Ban lifts the ground to hit Rottomen several times. Ban then judges Rottomen for organized crime with mass murdering, three counts of bombing, and violation of Space Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Law. After Rottomen's deletion approved, Ban eventually destroys him with Boost Slash finisher. MOVIE STORY-Tokuso Sentai Dekaranger 20th: Fireball Booster
Personality[]
- "Even so, we still believe that... that in every living being in the universe... burns an eternal heart of justice! As long as that exists, evil will never flourish!"
- ―Ban's beliefs stated after Agent Abrella claimed that crime would continue before his deletion.[src]
Ban 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. He irritates Houji by calling him "aibou" (相棒 ), 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 Akaza 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. One of Ban's core beliefs is that everyone inherently has a burning desire (or "heart") to do good and would stop evil as much as possible.
In both of the Dekaranger teamups, Ban notably had initial trouble in getting along with the red ranger members Ryoga 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, 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.

Usage[]
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.
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.
The DekarangerSoul (デカレンジャーソウル DekarenjāSōru) as yet only exists as an unused sound in the Ryusoulgers' Ryusoul Ken.[4][5]

Notes[]
- Ban was the first Sentai Red Ranger to have a Battlizer, a concept that originally debuted in Power Rangers.
- Ban's actor also voiced his counterpart, Jack Landors in the Japanese dub of Power Rangers S.P.D..
- Outside his Battlizer Mode and the occasional usage of D-Sword Vega, Ban was one of the few Sentai Reds that does not possess a primary sword weapon.
