''Power Rangers Wild Force'' is the 10th anniversary season of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', [[[[{{Frankenslation}} based on]] ''Series/HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger''. Pollution is destroying the earth, and thus destroying the seals on a villainous race of demons called the Orgs. Naturally, they're coming back to take revenge and destroy humanity. Luckily, the pollution also disturbed the rest of a woman named Princess Shayla, and she has brought her home, the Animarium, to rest above the [[WordOfGod Colorado]] town of Turtle Cove. She also has zords and morphers; she just needs to find the owners of their corresponding animal crystals...

** MagicWand-sized SimpleStaff: Alyssa's Tiger Baton.

* BecomingTheMask: Originally, the Master Org the rangers had been fighting turned out to be a human who was once friends with Cole's parents. However, after being abandoned by the Orgs when they realized he wasn't their real master, his transformation continued and he actually became an Org. By the end, he's talking about three thousand years ago as if it's yesterday, despite everyone knowing who he is now.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Instead of being destroyed or turned human like other Power Ranger villains (although Toxica was technically destroyed for a brief amount of time until [[BackFromTheDead she was revived]] thanks to Jindrax), the EvilDuo actually gave up fighting and left to travel the world. This is another rare moment in Power Ranger history.

* WasOnceAMan: Master Org. [[spoiler:And depending on your views on canonicity, Jindrax and Toxica could be as well.]] Also, Zen-Aku. [[spoiler: At first]].

* InMediasRes: All Power Rangers seasons have some level of hero/villain backstory before the season begins, but this season opens with Cole joining the team after the other four Rangers have been fighting the Orcs for a time and we find out about their "calling" later in the season.

* WhamShot: The fact that [[spoiler:Zen-Aku is bleeding from a cut on his hand is a shock as Orcs don't have hearts and thus can't bleed.]]

* HappilyEverAfter: Of course, the Rangers [[EarnYourHappyEnding Earn Their Happy Ending]]... although you could consider it a BittersweetEnding if you consider that Shayla and Merrick [[ShipSinking do not get together]]. Another reason it is a bittersweet ending could be that unlike ''Lightspeed Rescue'', they don't even get to keep the jackets as souvenirs (the jackets and the morphers are taken away and they're just told to walk away); I mean come on they risked their lives for the best part of a year and they wind up with nothing to show for it, talk about ungrateful.

** Probably unintentional but Master Org is almost a carbon copy of [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Typhus]], [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Host Of The Destroyer Plague]] except the deaths caused by him are alot less gruesome and horrible.

** KnifeNut: The Crystal Sabers. However, their primary use is to summon the Rangers' Zords.

* {{Meganekko}}: Danny was a male version.

* LastVillainStand: {{Inverted}} to the extreme. Despite having no more monsters, the Nexus being destroyed, and Jindrax and Toxica abandoning him, after completing his transformation into an Org, Master Org successfully managed to strip the rangers of their powers, destroy all the Wild Zords (including Animus, the King of the Wild Zords), knock the Animarium out of the sky, and nearly conquered the entire planet all on his own. It was only through a DeusExMachina that the rangers won. Still, it would be a long time before [[Series/PowerRangersRPM anyone else would top that]].

* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Toxica to every org the rangers destroy.

** Jen's outfit seen at the end of ''Reinforcements From the Future Part 1'' and thhe first half of the second part.

* ContinuitySnarl: The only thing that people don't like about "Forever Red" is the continuity problems that result from it, mostly of the account of the Machine Empire's defeat not lining up with the events of Zeo or In Space at all. "Where did the powers come from", though, is more of fans not doing the research. Nothing was ''ever'' shown happening to the Zeo Crystal and a big question in Turbo was "where'd ''all'' the Zeo stuff go?" Though the Turbo powers were destroyed alongside the Power Chamber, "True Blue to the Rescue" reveals that Storm Blaster was able to provide Justin with a spare morpher, so Lightning Cruiser was obviously able to do the same for T.J. Adam was able to use his Mastodon Power Coin in ''In Space'', though it still had issues.

* SkunkStripe: Merrick has two white locks on his otherwise dark hair.

* JurisdictionFriction: The first teeamup gets kicked off because the Wild Force team and the Silver Guardians each believe they're fighting their enemy (mutants for the Guardians, Orgs for the Rangers)...until Trip tells them [[TakeAThirdOption they're actually both at once]]. It's not helped by the fact that [[ContrivedCoincidence Eric happened to pull over Taylor for speeding right before that]]. Fortunately, everyone begins to cooperate quickly.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Jindrax and Toxica.

The second was a [[MilestoneCelebration 10th anniversary]] special where Cole was recruited for a special mission with Red Rangers from every prior incarnation.[[note]]Missing one Red Ranger, Rocky, who shared the ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' costume with Jason. They put in the red-colored SixthRanger from ''Time Force'', Eric, to make up for it.[[/note]] Although "Forever Red" became one of the franchise's most popular episodes and a shining example of non-sexual {{fanservice}}, external issues ended up shortening the team-up from a two-parter into a very swift standalone. In addition, the very nature of bringing in past characters and Ranger powers brought in many continuity issues as some powers were destroyed and villains neutralized.[[note]]Bringing these issues up are a FlameBait topic on many forums.[[/note]]

*** EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys (Gorilla).

* EvilWillFail: Inverted. Despite Master Org's wickedness leading to the destruction of many Org leaders and [[spoiler:Jindrax and Toxica]] abandoning him, even without anyone else, Master Org was the first villain in the franchise to singlehandedly bring the Rangers the closest they've been to defeat yet, destroying their Zords, base, covering Earth in an acid rain.
