Metal Hero Keys

File:Metal Hero Ranger Keys.jpg
The **Metal Hero Keys** (メタルヒーローキー, *Metaru Hīrō Kī*?) are a subgroup of the Ranger Keys (レンジャーキー, *Renjā Kī*?) which contain the powers of Metal Heroes rather than Super Sentai RangersFile:Icon-crosswiki.png. Six Metal Hero Keys were on the person of the Space Sheriff, Geki Jumonji (Gavan Type G). He handed the Gokaigers these keys when they were fighting against Space ShockerFile:Icon-crosswiki.png, the Gokaigers using these keys to transformFile:Icon-crosswiki.png into Metal Heroes. They deployed the GokaiGalleon BusterFile:Icon-crosswiki.png (dubbed the "Gokai Metal Galleon Buster" here), inserting the Metal Hero Keys resulting in a *Special Metal Charge* which unleashed a variant of the *Rising Strike* called the *Metallic Strike* which destroyed the Space Shocker members Space IkadevilFile:Icon-crosswiki.png, JaguarmanFile:Icon-crosswiki.png and ZanjiohFile:Icon-crosswiki.png.

## Origins

The appearance of the Metal Hero Keys in *Super Hero Taisen Z* follows the appearance of the Rider KeysFile:Icon-crosswiki.png in *Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero TaisenFile:Icon-crosswiki.png*, which were given to the Gokaigers by Kamen Rider OOOFile:Icon-crosswiki.png, which the Gokaigers used to transform into OOO's Full Combos.

However, in *Super Hero Taisen Z*, the origin of the Metal Hero Keys isn't exactly shown. When the five Gokaigers come to Gokai Silver and Gavan's aid, Gavan suddenly pulls out the Metal Hero Keys which he gives to the Gokaigers, unlike in *Super Hero Taisen* where OOO handed the Gokaigers his Core MedalsFile:Icon-crosswiki.png which suddenly transformed into Rider Keys.

A possible explaination is that the powers, or duplications of the powers, of Metal Heroes beyond the Space Sheriffs are currently possessed by the Galactic Union Police, explaining why they are held by Gavan. It was not shown whether the Gokaigers kept these keys or returned them to Gavan. It should also be noted that the powers of both generations of B-Fighters disappeared after the final battle in *B-Fighter Kabuto*.
