"The great blossom colored with technique. Fantastic Technique. GekiBlue! (技が彩る大輪の花!ファンタスティック・テクニック ゲキブルー,Waza ga irodoru Dairin no Hana! Fantasutikku Tekunikku Geki Burū!)"
Retsu Fukami (深見 レツ,Fukami Retsu) is GekiBlue (ゲキブルー,Geki Burū) of the Gekirangers. He is an employee of SCRTC and a Fierce Beast Jaguar-Fist (激獣ジャガー拳,Gekijū Jagāken) practitioner.
Retsu was a child when his older brother Gou Fukami was believed to have been killed by Rio. This event traumatized him severely, to the point where years later he still possessed a deep hatred for Rio. He originally had a promising career in painting, but took a break to learn the same fighting style as his older brother. He had to find the same motivation that Gou had, rather than revenge.
He learned of moving sensation of a trance when he mastered Bat Li's Fierce Beast Bat-Fist (激獣バット拳,Gekijū Battoken) style. He knows various "Techniques" (技,Gi, also pronounced as Waza), putting them in first priority when training. His attention to beauty costs him stamina, making his "Body" his weakest point until he competed with Pyon Biao in an endurance match (and emerges victorious) to obtain Extreme Ki. TV STORY-Lesson 20: Gicho-Gicho! Triangle Opposing Fight This training allows him to become Super GekiBlue (スーパーゲキブルー,Sūpā Geki Burū). As Super GekiBlue, he uses the Fierce Beast Gazelle-Fist (激獣ガゼル拳,Gekijū Gazeruken) style and is the "Extremely Fantastic Technique" (「過激にファンタスティック・テクニック」,Kageki ni Fantasutikku Tekunikku). TV STORY-Lesson 21: Biki-Biki-Biki-Biki! Kageki in Extreme Ki
The doppelganger of Retsu was created by Shiyuu. He used it as a revenge for Retsu cracking Shiyuu's armor with GekiFan. When he is in the shower room, he looks at himself in the mirror, when he turns away, his reflection moves differently. Retsu gets confused, touching the mirror, and the reflection pulls Retsu into the mirror. The doppelganger of Retsu was played by his actor's twin brother Shinpei Takagi. TV STORY-Lesson 38: Biba-Biba! Another Retsu
During the final battle, Retsu is infused with Rageku's Confrontation Ki, and is then brought to an astral Confrontation Beast Hall to master the Confrontation Beast Jelly-Fist (臨獣ジェリー拳,Rinjū Jerīken), style to seal Long. Three months after Long's defeat, he is seen alongside Ran Uzaki teaching the Beast Fist to young kids at SCRTC.

Etymology[]
Retsu: His name is a playful nod to “Let’s,” referencing the trio Retsu, Ran, and Jan. It’s a pun on “Let’s Run and Jump.” Additionally, it’s formed by combining the given names of the Fukami brothers, Retsu and Gou, and means “Let’s go.”
Fukami: 深見 (Fukami) means “deep sight” or “profound insight,” symbolizing wisdom, perception, and understanding.
The GekiBlue Ranger Key (ゲキゲキブルーレンジャーキー,Geki Burū Renjā Kī) is Retsu Fukami'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 GekiBlue Ranger Key was mainly used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), who used it to fight as GekiBlue.
When the Gokaigers (bar Don) became the Gekirangers in order to use the Fierce Ki Infusion against Action CommanderShieldon in a vein attempt to penetrate his shield. TV STORY-Ep. 32: One Power
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Retsu received his key and became GekiBlue once more.
