Ranger Key[]
DekaSwan Ranger Key
- "Dekaranger!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The DekaSwan Ranger Key (デカスワンレンジャーキー Deka Suwan Renjā Kī) is Swan'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 other nine extra hero keys and the fifteen sixth ranger keys, were initally acquired by Basco ta Jolokia and later used by the Gokaigers. Like all of his Ranger Keys, Basco used his trumpet, the Rapparatta, to turn the DekaSwan key into a puppet to do his bidding. Basco united his nine remaining Ranger Keys, the Black Knight key being taken by the Gokaigers before hand, when he was confronted by Goro Hoshino (OhRed†). The Extra Heroes would then fight the Gokaigers again, who wished to take the Ohrangers' greater power rather than just be given it. DekaSwan and DekaMaster fought Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who fought as OhRed. The Extra Heroes were taken down by the Olé Bazooka. DekaSwan's key, along with the rest of the Extra Heroes was claimed by the Gokaigers.
While in the possession of the Gokaigers, the DekaSwan Ranger Key was used twice by Ahim de Famille (Gokai Pink).
- As part of an all-Extra Hero Gokai Change in the Gokaigers' fight with two Dogomin.
TV STORY-Ep. 37: The Strongest Fighting Machine - With Joe (DekaMaster) while fighting Zatsurig of the Imperial Guard. TV STORY-Ep. 41: Something I Don't Want to Lose
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Swan received her key and became DekaSwan once more.

Notes[]
- "Shiratori" (Swan's family name) and "Chinyo" (the name of her home planet) are other names for "swan" in Japanese and Italian, respectively.
- Although her suit doesn't feature a discernible number or numeral, DekaSwan's symbol number is said to be 99,[1] which may stem from the kanji for "white" (白 shiro) being one stroke short of "100" (百 hyaku).
- According to Super Sentai 36 LEGENDS, Deka Swan was classified as both a White and Orange Ranger.[2] Her Ranger Key appears to be white but as there is no “white charge” and only “special charge”; this is inconclusive, given how DekaMaster’s key is blue but emits a “black charge”.
- The DekaSwan power appeared more often in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger than in her own series Tokuso Sentai Dekaranger. She is the only participant of the Legend War to have this distinction.
- Swan is the only member of the Super Sentai 199 without a Mecha or the ability to grow giant.
- DekaSwan's suit design is actually based on her usual S.P.D. uniform, with the undersuit having exactly the same design.
