When the two finally meet again, he gave Jayden the choice of fighting him or being forced to watch as he harmed innocent people if he refused. It's later revealed that his desire for battling Jayden is fueled by the belief that it will free him of his Nighlok half. He finally battled Jayden and appeared to have the upper hand in the fight when he stabbed the Red Ranger in the right side of his chest. Though he was stunned, Jayden allowed the warrior to run him through and proceeded to strike Deker down in one slash. Uramasa was shattered, broken in two. Surprised by the Red Ranger's audacity, Deker complimented Jayden on his win and stumbling towards the edge of the cliff, he fell over the edge and disappeared in a puff of purple flames. Before disappearing, he declared himself free from his Nighlok/human curse. TV STORY- The Ultimate Duel Like Dayu, Deker's unique position as a Human/Nighlok allows him to leave the Netherworld whenever he wishes without needing to return to the Sanzu River like the other Nighloks and Master Xandred. As he is not a part of Master Xandred's group, the two are enemies. Xandred despises him for his half-human state and constant meddling in his plans to destroy the Samurai Rangers, once misunderstanding his intervention as "helping" the humans despite Deker's protests to otherwise. As a cursed man with an unquenchable desire to fight, Deker roamed the world for a worthy opponent to battle. Uramasa eventually leads him to Jayden, the Red Samurai Ranger. Deker is determined to fight the Ranger one-on-one to the point of single-mindedness, often appearing at inopportune times or being halted by the other Rangers and monsters when the opportunity strikes him as right. Power Detection: Like Deker, it seeks out strong and formidable opponents to engage in battle. As one example, it "glowed" when in the presence of the Red Samurai Ranger, proving that Jayden is Deker's worthy opponent.

When she called for help, she summoned the King of the Nighloks (later revealed to be Serrator) who offered to save Deker's life. When she agreed to the demon's terms, he did indeed save Deker's life, but robbed him of all his memories and turned Deker into a Human/Nighlok hybrid and Dahlia into the Nighlok Dayu in the process. Revived from near death, Deker transformed into his Nighlok half and vanished into the night, leaving Dahlia behind. TV STORY- Broken Dreams Deker's main weapon, Uramasa, kept its name from Shinkenger, making it the first time that the name of a villain's weapon in Power Rangers is kept the same from its Super Sentai counterpart.One could argue that despite being half a Nighlok, Deker is a completely noble and fair warrior. However, he was willing to harm innocent people if Jayden had refused to duel him, although that may have only been what he wanted Jayden to think. However, it is later revealed that Deker is unwilling to doom the world just to end his curse, which is why he foiled Serrator's plan.

Strength: Deker's strength is never really shown but he has incredible strength as he can stop Jayden's fully-powered Fire Smasher blast with ease.Deluxe Megazords - Transforming Megazords - ZordBuilder - Retrofire Megazords - 10-inch - Micro Zords - Build and Morph Unlke Juzo, Deker is an anti-hero or anti-villain since he has honor and some kind of nobility. He also doesn’t have any evil motives, he just wants to be free from Serrator’s curse while Juzo just likes killing people. This stands in stark contrast to his Sentai counterpart, who is far less honorable and more bloodthirsty and manipulative. When Jayden is poisoned by Octoroo, Deker kidnaps him and dumps him into the holy springs to cure him as a means to prepare him for the fight. TV STORY- The Tengen Gate While Jayden is recovering, Deker tells him that he has little choice in the matter against his need for fighting, though Jayden argues that "there's always a choice". Antonio eventually arrives and rescues Jayden from Deker, who promises there would be nothing to stop their fight the next time they meet. TV STORY- Boxed In When she asked about his life, he told her he remembered nothing beyond needing to fight and that nothing else was important.
