"Liveman!"

―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement^[src]

The Green Sai Ranger Key (グリーンサイレンジャーキー, Gurīn Sai Renjā Kī) is Jun'ichi Aikawa'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 Green Sai Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as Green Sai.

Among several changes as he, Marvelous, Luka, and Ahim fought against Zangyack while Joe was absent. TV STORY-Ep. 12: The Guaranteed Showy Samurai
When the Gokaigers became the Livemen in their fight with Zangyack scientist Zaien. TV STORY-Ep. 30: Just a Lone Friend's Soul

The Liveman 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 puppet Livemen fired their Bimotion Buster alongside the Changemen, Flashmen, Maskmen, and Turborangers, only to be swiftly defeated by the individual finisher attacks of the Gokaigers and Goseigers as they emerged from the resulting fireball. 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. It is presumed that Jun'ichi Aikawa received his key and became Green Sai once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Behind the scenes

Portrayal

Jun'ichi Aikawa is portrayed by Jin Kawamoto (河本忍, Kawamoto Jin). As Green Sai, his suit actor was Shoji Hachisuka (蜂須賀昭二, Hachisuga Shōji).

Notes

The reason why Aikawa has "Green Sai" instead of "Green Rhino" as his designation name is because, at the time, "Rhino" wasn't a common loanword.
Piloting Sai Fire, Green Sai is the first Green to possess his own individual mecha.
He is the second Green Sentai Ranger who uses a Boomerang-type weapon, the first being Midorenger from the original Himitsu Sentai Gorenger.
He is the only Liveman whose designation doesn't end with an "N".
He is the first Green Ranger to serve in the main team alongside the Black Ranger, followed by Hant Jou/Go-On Green, Souji Rippukan/Kyoryu Green, Hammy/Chameleon Green and Towa/Ryusoul Green.
- He is also the first Green Ranger to serve with a Black Ranger in the main 5.
He Shares the same first name with Junichi Shimura/Kamen Rider Glaive from Kamen Rider Blade: Missing Ace & Junichi Kaito/Kamen Rider Glaive from Kamen Rider Decade.
- He Shares the last name with Hajime Aikawa/Kamen Rider Chalice from Kamen Rider Blade.
