There was a sixth monkey
A giant eyeball monster, surrounded with spikes, is attacking the Super Robot. It causes rampant destruction across Shuggazoom... and it turns to out to be a film session lead by Antauri. Looking at each monkey, the rest of them (save for Sprx-77) come up with reasons why they ended up in their situation. Antauri assigns each member to come up with a new move, but Chiro seeing how he destroyed the eyeball with a well-timed Lasitron-Fury is confident in his abilities to the point where he does not feel where he has to come up with a new move. So naturally, playing around his room, he comes across a secret compartment holding an orange monkey helmet, and a left monkey glove. So naturally, you can see where this is going.The episode contains examples of:
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Mandarin is this, effortlessly dodging and countering all of Chiro's moves taught by the Hyperforce because he knew about and taught them from his time as team leader and even offers to teach Chiro even more if he joins him.Mandarin: My brothers have taught you well, but I can teach you more, my hairless monkey.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: The citizens of Shuggazoom become this when Mandarin enslaves them with his obedience collars.
- Calling Your Attacks: The Hyperforce continues to do so, pays off with a
Funny Moment. - Foreshadowing: Mandarin subtly hints at Chiro being the The Chosen One before he makes his escape at the end of the episode.Mandarin: One day, you will find out how much more you are…
- Forgotten Phlebotinum: Only Gibson continues to use his new move on a regular basis after this episode. Otto also uses his only on another episode.
- Game Over: The noise plays when Chiro fires the Laistron Fury and Mandarin tips his circular prison so that it goes right through it.
- Hypocrite: Antauri is somewhat shown to be this when one remembers what he said to Chiro back in the first episode; "We don't keep secrets from each other". It's heavily implied that he and the rest of the Monkey Team had no intention of telling Chiro about Mandarin at all until the former stumbled upon the latter's shield and helmet.
- Mass "Oh, Crap!": The Monkey Team all have this reaction upon seeing that Chiro found Mandarin’s shield.
- Meaningful Name: Mandarin is the name of a type of orange. Also doubles because he became a subordinate/student of the Skeleton King and the name means "advisor to the king".
- Sixth Ranger Traitor: Mandarin
- We Can Rule Together: Mandarin tells this to Chiro after capturing him, saying they're exceptional or otherwise Skeleton King will rule Shuggazoom instead.Mandarin: Why being their servant, when you can rule them all?
- Wham Line:Nova: It's Mandarin’s shield…
Chiro: "Mandarin"? What's a Mandarin?
Antauri: Not "what", who. Chiro… there was a sixth monkey.
