Go To

Three members of a secret martial arts academy are chosen to become the Power Rangers to battle evil, but said evil may already be ready to strike unexpectedly...


Tropes

  • Actually, I Am Him: R.J. introduces himself as the Rangers new master this way.
  • Ascended Fanboy: When R.J. gives the three their morphers, Theo says "Ever since I was a little kid, I've always wanted to be a..." and then shuts up when the others look at him laughing.
  • Bait-and-Switch: The chosen three assume an elderly Asian at the pizza parlor was their master. Until...
  • Check, Please!: Used when Casey, Theo, and Lily make a wrong guess on who their supposed new master is going to be.
  • Continuity Nod: RJ mentions the Morphing Grid.
  • Demonic Possession: Jarrod is possessed by Dai Shi.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Dai Shi. His Gekiranger counterpart Long doesn't show up until much later.
  • How Do I Shot Web?: Casey's first failed attempt at morphing.
  • Jerkass: Jarrod, even before being possessed by Dai Shi. It's revealed near the finale that it's precisely the reason Dai Shi chose him.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Jarrod ran away upon seeing the Dai Shi.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Dai Shi, who has been stuck in an (unlocked!) box for 10,000 years. The box was kept by a secret order, but opened when a disgruntled student barged in and attacked the order's master, knocking the box out of his hands. Unusually, however, Dai Shi is significantly weaker than he was, and has to struggle to regain his powers before the Rangers become strong enough to destroy him.
  • Starter Villain: Mantor
