Line 232:

*** Tyzonn, the Mercury Ranger, mixes in [[Sixth Ranger|Bouken Silver]] ([[It's Personal]] against the Ashu/Fear Cats), one-shot guest star Ragi (human transformed into [[Lego Genetics|dragonman]]), and even Bouken Red (backstory with deaths of former team).

*** Kamdor directly parallels Yami no Yaiba, and Maboroshi no Gekkou (the latter being the [[Big Bad]] of the third faction and the monster maker and [[Make My Monster Grow|enlarger]]). Also, Miratrix mostly has Shizuka's role, but her monster form is Gekkou's. Shizuka's monster form becomes a one-off monster earlier in the series.

*** You could argue that they had a third example: the Sentinel Knight is a counterpart to one of the [[McGuffin|Precious]], but has the traits of [[Original Generation|Aka ~~Red~~]], since they're both borderline-[[Physical God|Physical Gods]] who are important players in the [[Milestone Celebration]] crossover.

** Inverted again in [[Power Rangers Jungle Fury|Jungle Fury]]: Long, the ultimate [[Big Bad]] of [[Juken Sentai Gekiranger|Gekiranger]], was split into Dai Shi (inheriting his [[Big Bad]] status and [[One-Winged Angel]] form) and General Scorch (inheriting his Phantom Beast form and [[Treacherous Advisor]] status).

*** Also, RJ takes two roles. As the Rangers' mentor, he's part Sha-fu. As the accidental [[Wolf Man]] and later Wolf Ranger, he's part Gou.

Line 352:

** The Fates from ''[[Hercules (Disney film)|Hercules]]'' are a composite of the Fates from [[Classical Mythology]] (the youngest Fate spins a thread representing a person's life, signifying his/her birth; the middle weaves said thread, therefore determining how long that person will live; and the oldest cuts the thread, therefore killing the person the thread represents) and the Gray sisters (they all share a single eye).

*** They also merged Hades with Hera, and Hera with Alcmene.

** Also done in ''[[Treasure Planet]]''; Squire Trelawney and Doctor Livesey of the original ''[[Treasure Island]]'' are combined into [[~~Added Alliterative Appeal~~|Doctor Delbert Doppler.]]

** In ''[[The Black Cauldron]]'' the characters of The Horned King and Arawn are combined. In Lloyd Alexander's five-part book series, Arawn is the [[Big Bad]] and The Horned King is [[The Dragon]]. The movie keeps "The Horned King" as his name and general appearance, but has Arawn's role as "the Dark Lord".

** In ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]'' Kerchak is a composite of Burroughs's Kerchak (leader of the Mangani during Tarzan's childhood) and Tublat (mate of Kala who is vaguely resentful of Tarzan, but not a villain). To confuse things further, ''[[The Legend of Tarzan]]'' introduced a character more like the book version of Kerchak (violent killer ape seeking revenge on Tarzan) ... and called him Tublat.
