She is in charge of forming the left arm for the Gaorangers' mecha formations. After the final battle, she continued her martial arts training although she initially planned to travel across Japan with Tsukumaro Ogami.

Years later, Sae fought alongside not only her own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gomin and their Sugomin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The GaoWhite powers are later used by Ahim de Famille via the Ranger Keys. Sae is one of several Rangers (portrayed by a stand-in) who could be seen in the background when the Goseigers awoke after sacrificing their powers.

Etymology[]
- Her name, Sae Taiga (
大 河 冴 Taiga Sae), means "Large River Skillfullness".- However this is based on the fact that Taiga (
大 河 Taiga) is very similar to the word Tiger (タイガー Taigā). This is also referring to the Taiga (タイガ Taiga) biome, where most of Siberian Tigers (some are white ones) live, since GaoWhite is a white tiger-themed ranger. - The radical of her first name, Sae (
冴 Sae) comes from the kanji for Fang (牙 Kiba) found in the ateji of Gaoranger (牙 吠 連 者 Gaorenjā). These namings are found in other Gaorangers' names, as well as some other Sentai teams.
- However this is based on the fact that Taiga (

Ranger Key[]
GaoWhite Ranger Key
- "Gaoranger!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The GaoWhite Ranger Key (ガオホワイトレンジャーキー Gao Howaito Renjā Kī) is Sae Taiga's personal Ranger Key and what became of her powers after she 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 GaoWhite Ranger Key was mainly used by Ahim de Famille (Gokai Pink), who used it to fight as GaoWhite. It was also used by Luka Millfy (Gokai Yellow) on two occasions.
- Luka became GaoWhite alongside Joe (Big One) and Ahim de Famille (White Swan) as part of an all-white change in their fight against Action Commander Salamandam. TV STORY-Ep. 3: Changing Courage into Magic
- When the Gokaigers became the Gaorangers while fighting against the Sneak Brothers' Gomin Sailors. TV STORY-Ep. 8: Little Spy Tactics
- When the Gokaigers became the Gaorangers while fighting against Action Commander Bowser. TV STORY-Ep. 9: Lion, Run
- When the Gokaigers became the Gaorangers while fighting against Action Commander Zakyura. TV STORY-Ep. 33: Iiiit's a Hero!!
- Luka became GaoWhite as part of an all-white Gokai Change in the Gokaigers' fight with Maque Prison Warden Ashurada. MOVIE STORY-Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Space Sheriff Gavan: The Movie
The Gaoranger 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. Splitting up, the puppet GaoWhite was defeated as part of a group of surviving Pink and White warrior keys by Gokai Pink and Super Gosei 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. Sae received her key and became GaoWhite once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
