Jiraiya (Zangyack-verse)

Jiraiya is a major character in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. Jiraiya fights as NinjaBlack of the now-destroyed Kakurangers. He acts as a Battle Commander for AkaRed's Anti-Zangyack Resistance.

Summary
Jiraiya is one of the few confirmed survivors of the Great War that destroyed the Earth and the Super Sentai. His team had found themselves engaging the Gokaigers during the Zangyack invasion. However, Luka, being an expert thief, stole the Ninjas' Doron Coins prior to their battle. Unable to transform into the Kakurangers, Jiraiya and his cohorts were subjected to a devastating two-pronged assault from both the Gokaigers and two Action Commanders. Jiraiya managed to escape, but the rest of his team was decimated.

Somehow having avoided the destruction of the Earth, Jiraiya made his way to AkaRed and joined the Anti-Zangyack Resistance, becoming their Battle Commander. He acts as thr third member of a mini-council between himself, AkaRed, and Basco that handle the Resistance at large.

Biography/Personality
Like his Prime counterpart, Jiraiya was quite the jokester back in the day. He knew more than he let on, but preferred to play the fool to ease the tensions he and his team faced. However, with the destruction of the Earth, Jiraiya has found himself unable to filter the oppressiveness of the times as well as he used to. While he can still land a joke heare and there, (and still seks to do good around him) he is generally unable to express himself as well as he wishes he could.

Ranger Keys
As Jiraiya has repaired his Doron Changer, AkaRed has made a specialized, circular NinjaBlack Ranger Key to insert into the device, allowing Jiraiya to transform into NinjaBlack without using a Doron Coin.

Trivia

 * While the other Kakurangers were destroyed, Jiraiya managed to release a NinjaBlack key despite having escaped destruction. This may be due to the fact that his Doron Changer was irreparably damaged, thus essentially "destroying" NinjaBlack.
