History Series / PowerRangersNinjaStorm

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Quite a bit, especially with the Wind Morphers and things involving the Lion and Samurai Star zords.

* SwissArmyWeapon: The Wind Rangers' swords become laser blasters [[SheathStrike when sheathed]]. The Thunder Rangers' [[SimpleStaff Thunder Staffs]] can transform into shields and {{FuumaShuriken}}s.

Not to be confused with the ''Manga/{{Naruto}} Shippuden: [[VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm2 Ultimate Ninja]] [[VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStormGenerations Storm]]'' games.

The 11th season of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', [[[[{{Frankenslation}} adapted from]] ''Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger''. First season produced after Disney moved production from MMPR Productions to Australian-based Village Roadshow. By a funny coincidence, former ''[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers MMPR]]-[[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Turbo]]'' producers and writers Doug Sloan and Ann Austen worked for Disney at the time, and asked if they could helm this season. Disney agreed, the pair brought in writers, including series veteran Jackie Marchand, and the result was an AffectionateParody that loved its [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]].

* MonsterOfTheWeek: Parodied in one episode. Lothor tries to send six giant monsters at once against the heroes, only for the device that handles it to fail citing a "memory error". Zurgane informs him that they did not pay for the memory upgrade, so they can only enlarge one monster at a time. Lothor curses at this complaining that as future ruler of the world "''I need big monsters!'''" and settles for enlarging one and making the rest fight while small.

--> First time in a ''regular'' season. Delphine in the [[''Series/MightyMorphinAlienRangers Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers'']] mini-series also falls under this, as her team's Yellow Ranger is male (Tideus) and she's the only female of her team and the first female White Ranger, something we wouldn't see repeated until [[''Series/PowerRangersWildForce Power Rangers Wild Force'']] and [[''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Power Rangers Mystic Force'']]. Every other White Ranger we've seen has been male.

* LeotardOfPower: Tori's Ranger suit is one of these with the usual MinidressOfPower attached, giving the appearance of the occasional panty shot.

* [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Those Two Bad Girls]]: Marah and Kapri. Sure, they ''do'' try to be more than just that [[spoiler:even going as far as engineering Shimazu's downfall]], but from there to full-on [[TheStarscream Starscreaming]], they were a ''really'' long way.

* UnwinnableTrainingSimulation

* WalkOnWater: Tori uses this ninja trick.

* CainAndAbel: Kanoi and Kiya Watanabe, [[spoiler:otherwise known as the team's Sensei and TheSmartGuy SixthRanger's father, and Lothor.]] Doubled as a LukeIAmYourFather for [[spoiler:Cam,]] as he was unaware of the relation. It ends up saving [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Marah & Kapri]] in the end, because [[spoiler:Cam is a hell of a lot more merciful than Uncle Lothor!]]

* AffablyEvil: Lothor is probably one of the nicest villains to threaten the Earth. The worst punishment he inflicts on his minions is swear jars and detention and he’s very cordial to his adversaries.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: A cyborg villain suffer melting at the hands of another, treacherous villain. His half-slagged body is seen in a rare exception to PR's EverythingFades tendency. His executioner [[BondOneLiner quips]] that he was "having a little meltdown".
** One that wasn't the death itself, but... the monster of the week was a pig. The Rangers beat him, he goes giant, they beat him again, he explodes... and then we see [[BigBad Lothor]] eating his barbecued remains; the other villains were as disgusted as should be expected.

* ExtremeSportExcusePlot: Sort of. The Rangers, save Cam, were extreme athletes when not doing ninja stuff; and the sports got highlighted often but were rarely involved in the battles with Lothor.

* DropTheHammer: Dustin's Lion Hammer

* MaskedVillainsUnmaskedHeroes: The Rangers spend a significant amount of time in human form per episode and their helmets can open up to reveal their faces. [[BigBad Lothar]] never takes off his mask and the only time we see him without it is [[spoiler:when Cam travels back to the past and meets Lothar's younger self]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: In "Scent Of A Ranger", after Cam officially becomes a ranger, he realizes he is still needed at MissionControl, and he cannot be a ranger and the Rangers tech guy at same time, so creates Cyber-Cam to help out.

--->'''Lothor''': "This is the most fun I've had all season!"

* AffablyEvil: Lothor is probably one of the nicest villains to threaten the Earth. The worst punishment he inflicts on his minions is swear jars and detention and he’s very cordial to his adversaries.

** The Storm Megazord

* MythologyGag: In "Thunder Strangers, Part 2", Tori's morpher is damaged and a monster tells her, "Guess it's not [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers morphin' time]] after all, is it?"
