The Battle France Ranger Key (バトルフランスレンジャーキー Batoru Furansu Renjā Kī) is Kyosuke Shida'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.

Notes[]
An early version of the Battle Fever suits.
- During early promotions for Battle Fever J:
- The costume originally had yellow eyes, rather than the finalized black.
- The yellow on the top of the helmet was originally red.
- His suit was originally a sky blue shade with dark blue stripes in early episodes, matching the colors on his helmet. However, due to over-washing, the sky blue tone ended up fading out and the suit became white like Battle Japan. In later appearances where Team Battle Fever makes an appearance, his suit would remain as white.
