Legend War[]
Years later, Ryuuta fought alongside not only his 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 Gormin and their Sugormin 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 Blue3 powers are later used by Joe Gibken via the Ranger Keys.

After the Zangyack's final defeat, Marvelous returned the Ranger Keys to their original owners. It is assumed that Ryuuta and his teammates have their powers once again. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Super Hero Taisen[]
The Biomen, alongside the Flashmen, Changemen, Dynamen, and Turborangers, emerge through a dimensional wall.
Ryuuta, alongside his team, among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes, was caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident which eventually resulted in the Super Sentai teams and Kamen Riders joining forces to defeat both Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker. During the final battle, he is seen fighting Panthera Luteus and a Gormin. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger[]
The first 38 Sentai projected into Wild Tousai Shuriken King.
Blue3 appeared with his team among the first 38 Super Sentai whom collectively empowered Wild Tousai Shuriken King in its fight against the titanic Gillmarda, granting the Ninningers and Zyuohgers the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst which destroyed Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai.

Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]
Ryuuta joined the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of Water Warrior Team. It’s unknown whether he participated in any of the matches, but his team lost the competition either in the first round against the Police Team off-screen or won against them and lost in the second round against Super Strong Team off-screen.
Zenkaiger[]
Blue3 in Zenkaiger
A manifestation of Blue3 was summoned alongside his team by Juran through the Bioman Sentai Gear, which allowed the Zenkaigers to use the Bio Electro Beam attack against Copy World. TV STORY-No. 21-kai! Giant Monsters of Great Destruction!
A copy of Blue3 was summoned by Hakaizer through the Zenryoku hakai Gun to help figh the Zenkaigers. TV STORY-No. 30-kai! Is the Machine Next Door Persimmon-Eating Destruction?!
Personality[]
Do not mistake him for an absent-minded child, though, he is quite level headed and full of determination, as his confrontation with the evil Prince showed. His years of diving have made him very nimble and thus he is very skilled in stealth techniques.

Legend Sentai Devices[]
The Blue3 Ranger Key.
- "Bioman!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The Blue3, alternatively Bluethree[1] Ranger Key (ブルースリーレンジャーキー Burū Surī Renjā Kī) is Ryuuta Nanbara'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 Blue3 Ranger Key was mainly used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), who used it to fight as Blue3.
- When the Gokaigers became the Biomen while fighting Kiaido.
TV STORY-Ep. 28: Wings are Eternal - As part of a bombardment of changes in the final battle with Emperor Ackdos Gill. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
The Bioman 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 Blue3 was defeated as part of a group of surviving Blue warrior keys by Gokai Blue and Super Gosei Blue. 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. Ryuuta received his key and became Blue3 once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Bioman Avataro Gear
The Bioman Avataro Gear can be used by any of the Core Donbrothers to transform into their respective Bioman counterpart. It can be used by Shinichi Saruhara to transform into Blue3.
Notes[]
- "Blue Three" (ブルー・スリー) is spelled the same way in Japanese as "Bruce Lee" (ブルース・リー), with the dot moved one over to the right.
- In a "Dai Battle" in Dice-O, Ryuta is included as one of five "dragon-theme" Rangers, even though the only "dragon" he has is his first name of "Ryuuta".
- It is revealed in one episode that Ryuta used to be a delinquent in his teen years, but was inspired by a certain person to change his ways; his first encounter with Prince reminded him of those times and wanted to help him change. This minor fact was cut out in the English dub.
- In the Bio-Man pilot, his counterpart goes by the name of Billy Cranston, the name was ultimately used for the first adapted TriceraRanger as played by David Yost.
