- ―Zubaan's only form of communication[src]
Great Sword Man Zubaan (大剣人ズバーン Daikenjin Zubān), alternately Holy Sword Zubaan (聖剣ズバーン Seiken Zubān), is the Precious called the Golden Sword (黄金の剣 Ōgon no Ken) that was enshrined in the ruins of Lemuria. He fights alongside and identifies with the Boukengers.
History[]
Boukenger[]
Zubaan was originally designed as a deterrent to the Lemurian Mythical Beasts. he was sealed within a forest and left abandoned after the destruction of Lemurian civilization, separated from the Egg of Lemuria.
Zubaan can transform between the Sacred Sword Mode (聖剣モード Seiken Mōdo) and a human-sized fighter by turning its seal on its chest. He also has the ability to grow to the size of DaiBouken at will.
Its special attack in combination with Ultimate DaiBouken is called Giant Holy Sword Slash (大聖剣斬り Dai Seiken Giri). In his humanoid form, Zubaan's speech is limited to saying his name, or mixed-up parts of it (such as "Ban-ban!", "Zun! Zubabababababa!", etc.). He can fire a golden beam from the jewel of his chest.
The jewels on its chest enables him to resonate with people's feelings, it can be empowered through positive feelings. Conversely, it will violently reacts to any people with negative feelings or mindsets, ultimately render itself immobile and useless. Therefore, it requires a user with a peaceful and valiant mind state.
In Task 33, due to his connection to the Lemuria civilization, like Natsuki Mamiya, he became brainwashed and fought against BoukenSilver, where during the giant battle, he badly damaged Siren Builder. TV STORY-Task. 33: The Sun of Lemuria Once Natsuki regained her senses in Task 34, Zubaan was able to return to the Boukengers' side. TV STORY-Task. 34: The Distant Memories
In Task 42, he became the size of DaiBouken's sword, GoGoKen, to help the Boukengers defeat the Questers' Homunculus. Voyager DaiBouken with Zubaan in hand used the Super Riding Adventure Drive (スーパーライディングアドベンチャードライブ Sūpā Raidingu Adobenchā Doraibu) to do so. TV STORY-Task. 42: The Age of the Questers
Zubaan is also able to finish giant monsters by using the powerful Finishing Zubazuban Kick (必殺ズバズバンキック Hissatsu Zubazuban Kikku) or a rapid barrage of quick attacks.
After Satoru Akashi and Sakura Nishihori left for space, Natsuki Mamiya carries Zubaan with her on the Boukengers' adventures. TV STORY-Last Task: The Boundless Adventure Souls
Gekiranger vs. Boukenger[]
As Sword form, Zubaan was used by Bouken Yellow to fight GekiYellow and Ultimate Daibouken to finish off Pacha Chamak the 12th. He was seen pushing Ken from getting a date with Natsuki. MOVIE STORY-Juken Sentai Gekiranger vs. Boukenger

Ranger Key in Basco's Possession[]
After Basco lost his fifteen Sixth Ranger Keys, Basco revealed that he had ten more Ranger Keys of Extra Rangers and Heroes (With Zubaan's Key being one of them). TV STORY-Ep. 16: Clash! Sentai vs. Sentai
During the hunt for the GoGoFive's Greater Power, Basco summoned a clone of Zubaan to attack Gokai Yellow and Gokai Pink so that Basco can go after Matsuri to take the GoGoFive Greater Power, After Luka and Ahim were able to create a distraction so that the ambulance with Matsuri and a young injured boy in it could escape Basco ordered his three Clones to attack Luka and Ahim, at first the Clones were too much for the girls to handle but the other Gokaigers arrived to help and the Gokaigers fought the Clones together (With the Clone of Zubaan fighting Gokai Silver), Gokai Silver was able to beat the Zubaan Clone after changing into Gold Mode and finished the Clone off with the Gokai Legend Dream, but the Zubaan Key was collected by Sally before the Gokaigers could take it. TV STORY-Ep. 23: People's Lives are the Future of the Earth
Basco would summon the Zubaan Clone again, this time to collect the Ohrangers' Greater Power from Goro Hoshino but would end up fighting the Gokaigers again with the Zubaan Clone fighting Gokai Silver again this time with help from the Wolzard Fire Clone. During the battle Gokai Silver was able to beat the Clones with a combination of changes into first Go-On Wings, then into Gold Mode to finish them off with the Gokai Legend Crush. When the Clones were beaten they became giant and continued to attack Gokai Silver, Gokai Silver quickly summoned GoZyuDrill and quickly turned it into GoZyuRex to battle the giant Clones, at first the battle was in favor of the Clones but Gokai Silver was able to turn it to his favor by quickly changing into GoZyuJin and beat the Clones with the Goujyu Triple Drill Dream. After the Clones returned to their Ranger Key forms the Zubaan Key was collected by Gai off-screen before Sally could collect it and it would be added to the Gokaigers Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 31: Crash!! Secret Operations
In the Gokaigers Possession[]
When the Gokaigers first transformed into Extra Heroes, in their fight against the Dogormin, Luka (Gokai Yellow) became Zubaan. She taunted the Dogormin by imitating Zubaan's catchphrases. TV STORY-Ep. 37: The Strongest Fighting Machine Don (Gokai Green) became Zubaan in the final battle against Dyrandoh, and (with great discomfort), converted into Sacred Sword Mode to be wielded by Joe (Gokai Blue) who had become DekaMaster. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the Zangyack Empire was defeated by the Gokaigers, Marvelous returned the Ranger Keys to their original owners. The Boukengers have their powers again, and Zubaan was restored to his normal form.

A golden sword implanted in the ground by the ancient civilization of Lemuria; it is said that whomever controls both this sword and the egg of Lemuria will control the world. The sword is tracked down by two opposing forces: Ryuuwon, who wishes to utilize the full force of Lemuria to prove the domination of the Jaryuu, as well as Professor Hanzou Igarashi, who wished to protect the sword from all treasure hunters (which included Ryuuwon as well as Akashi and SGS) who desires it for their own selfish means as opposed to it's importance in history and knowledge. When the sword is finally reached, all parties try to take it, even with the knowledge that the Golden Sword will only choose one worthy enough to weild it. Though Ryuuwon, Igarashi and Akashi all fail the test, Akashi continues to pull it, finally getting it out by stating to the sword that worthiness is only determined by whomever makes their own destiny. With the sword in hand, Bouken Red uses it to slay the Lemurian Mythical Beast, but discovers an even bigger surprise when unhooking a latch revealing it's true form. TV STORY-Task 29: The Golden Sword
It's attack's are Golden Slash, where the user did a slash attack, and Jumping Golden Slash, a jumping slash attack. A more powerful slash attack is called Golden Crush.

Ranger Key[]
- "Boukenger!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The Great Sword Man Zubaan Ranger Key (大剣人ズバーンレンジャーキー Daikenjin Zubān Renjā Kī) is Zubaan'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 other nine Extra Hero Keys and the fifteen Sixth Ranger Keys, were initally acquired by Basco ta Jolokia and later used by the Gokaigers. Like all of his Ranger Keys, Basco used his trumpet, the Rapparatta, to turn the Zubaan key into a puppet to do his bidding. Basco summoned Zubaan with Rio and Mele in his failed attempt to gain the Greater Power of GoGoFive.
They were all defeated, but the three keys were recovered by Sally. Basco later united his nine remaining Ranger Keys when he was confronted by Goro Hoshino (OhRed). The Extra Heroes would then fight the Gokaigers again, who wished to take the Ohrangers' Greater Power rather than just be given it. Zubaan, alongside Wolzard Fire, fought Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver), the two of them growing before being defeated a second time. The Zubaan key, along with the rest of the Extra Heroes was claimed by the Gokaigers.
While in the possession of the Gokaigers, the Zubaan Ranger Key was used by Luka Millfy (Gokai Yellow) and Don Dogoier (Gokai Green) on one occasion each.
- Luka became Zubaan as part of an all-Extra Hero Gokai Change in the Gokaigers' fight with two Dogormin. TV STORY-Ep. 37: The Strongest Fighting Machine
- Don became Zubaan as part of an all-Extra Hero Gokai Change in the Gokaigers' fight with Dyrandoh. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Zubaan received his key and was restored to normal.
