Years later, Junichi fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War.

Ranger Key[]
- "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 Junichi 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 Biomotion 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. MOVIE 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 Junichi Aikawa received his key and became Green Sai once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Usage[]
Notes[]
- The reason why Junichi has "Green Sai" instead of "Green Rhino" as his designation is because "rhino" was not a common loanword at the time.
- He is the first and currently only Green Ranger to be themed after a rhino.
- Green Sai is the first Green to possess his own individual Mecha.
- He is last Green Ranger to use a boomerang as an individual weapon.
- He is the first Green Ranger to serve in the main team alongside the Black Ranger.
