This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The Battle Japan Ranger Key was mainly used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who used it to fight as Battle Japan. It was also used by Gai Ikari on one occasion.
- When the Gokaigers became Battle Fever to use the Penta Force cannon to defeat the Combined Combatant. MOVIE STORY-Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger the Movie: The Flying Ghost Ship
- When the Gokaigers became Battle Fever to fight against the Ugatz in Gunman World. They finally finished off a group of Ugatz with the Penta Force boomerang. TV STORY-Ep. 35: Dimension on the Other Side
- Gai uses this key alongside all other Red keys after being merged with Captain Marvelous by Insarn. TV STORY-Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Let's Do This Goldenly! Roughly! 36 Round Gokai Change!!
- When the Gokaigers became Battle Fever in their fight against Action Commander Bibaboo. TV STORY-Ep. 44: A Lovely Christmas Eve
- While fighting against Kamen Rider Decade who had transformed into Kamen Rider Hibiki. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
The Battle Fever 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 Battle Fever keys were defeated by Gokai Pink. 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. Masao received his key and became Battle Japan once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Usage[]
The Super Sentai Zyudenchi (スーパー戦隊獣電池 Sūpā Sentai, Super Squadron Beast Batteries), alternatively named Legend Sentai Zyudenchi (レジェンド戦隊獣電池 Rejendo Sentai Jūdenchi, Legend Squadron Beast Batteries) in the toyline, are a special line of Zyudenchi that contain the likeness of the Sentai teams before Kyoryuger (represented by the main Reds). These Zyudenchi are in the same fashion as the "Legend Rider" lines of Collectible Devices in the Kamen Rider Series.
A Battle Fever Zyudenchi, bearing the likeness of Battle Japan, is a part of the Legend Sentai Zyudenchi toyline which can be used in Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O.
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 Battle Fever Ressha (バトルフィーバーレッシャー Batoru Fībā Ressha) appears as a toyline-exclusive SG Ressha.

Notes[]
- During early promotions for Battle Fever J, Battle Japan had yellow eyes rather than the finalized black.
- Until Ohranger, Masao was considered the first Super Sentai Red as the first two Super Sentai series, Gorenger and J.A.K.Q., were removed from the Super Sentai series until Toei re-included them when Ohranger was announced. Akarenger of Gorenger is now the first Red.
