The DenziRed Ranger Key (デンジレッドレンジャーキー, Denji Reddo Renjā Kī) is Ippei Akagi'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 DenziRed Ranger Key was mainly used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who used it to fight as DenziRed. It was also used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue) and Gai Ikari on one occasion each.

When the Gokaigers became the Denzimen while fighting the Sneak Brothers. Ep. 8: Little Spy Tactics
Gai uses this key alongside all other Red keys after being merged with Captain Marvelous by Insarn. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Let's Do This Goldenly! Roughly! 36 Round Gokai Change!!
Joe became DenziRed leading an all-red change against Basco ta Jolokia's Gokai Red Ranger Key Clone. It was Joe who finished the copy off, with the Denzi Punch. Ep. 48: The Fated Showdown

The Denziman 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. The Denziman keys were defeated by Super Gosei Blue. Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Ippei received his key and became DenziRed once more. Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Denziman Ressha
*(currently unreleased)*

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' predeceeding 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.

The Denziman Ressha (デンジマンレッシャー, Denjiman Ressha) currently only exists as a sound on the ToQ Changer.

Red Spirit

The 30 Red Rangers AkaRed embodied in Boukenger vs. Super Sentai; DenziRed is the third from the left in the middle row.

As the fourth Red, DenziRed's Red Warrior Spirit was embodied by AkaRed. GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai

Behind the scenes

Portrayal

Ippei Akagi is portrayed by Shinichi Yuuki (結城真一, Yūki Shin'ichi). As DenziRed, his suit actor was Kazuo Niibori (新堀和男, Nībori Kazuo).

Notes

Akagi's characterization and personality (as a caring, skilled warrior who teaches his craft) is the closest equivalent to Jason Lee Scott, the first Red Power Ranger, as opposed to other potential Red comparisons such as Tsuyoshi Kaijo (the first Red) or Yamato Tribe Prince Geki (the Ranger whom Jason uses for his powers in footage).
