Power Rangers Jungle Fury: Difference between revisions

[[File:Jungle_Fury_3006.jpg|frame]]

 

 

 

Unfortunately, the masters never thought to put a ''lock'' on the prison, and Dai Shi escaped when the box was knocked over. The three current guardians are directed to a Pai Zhua master in Ocean Bluff, a city close to Dai Shi's old lair. With Dai Shi weakened and the guardians still just students, both sides have to seek out the masters who fought in the Beast War and hone their skills before their enemies can destroy them.

Succeeded by ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]''.

 

 

----

* [[Action Girl]]: Lily

* [[Animal Motifs]]: For both heroes ''and'' villains:

** [[Bat Out of Hell]]: Master Swoop (and Theo)

** [[Big Badass Wolf]]: R.J.

** [[Feathered Fiend]]: Overlord Carnisoar

** [[Hollywood Chameleons]]: Camille

** [[The Smart Guy]]: '''{{color|purple|R.J.}}'''

** [[The Big Guy]]: '''{{color|silver|Dominic}}'''

* [[Recycled in Space]]!: Power Rangers {{smallcaps|with [[Animal Motifs|ANIMALS]]... [[Power Rangers Wild Force|AGAIN]]! And [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours|KUNG FU]]!}}

* [[Rookie Red Ranger]]: Deconstructed with Casey, who continually worries that he [[Can't Catch Up]].

* [[Transformation Trinket]]: Instead of a wrist or phone device like the other series, this time it's the [[Cool Shades]]. (For the [[Power Trio]]. The Wolf and Rhino Morphers are wrist-worn - the Rhino Morpher going from a small bracelet to one of the largest morphers ever, a huge glove weapon that also serves as arm blade and missile launcher. This means all or most of his attacks are in his morpher, similar to [[Power Rangers SPD|an earlier Ranger in white]].)

* [[Weapon of Choice]]

** [[Dual Tonfas]]: Theo's Jungle Tonfa

** [[Simple Staff]]: Lily's Jungle Bo

** [[By the Power of Greyskull]] or [[Invocation]]: "Jungle beast, Spirit unleashed!"

"We summon the animal spirits from within! Power Rangers Jungle Fury!" }}

 

 

* [[Actually, I Am Him]]: R.J.'s first introduction.

* [[Adorkable]]: Fran is a rare female version. Doubles as [[Hollywood Homely]].

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: R.J.

* [[Demonic Possession]]: Dai Shi makes convenient use of Jarrod's body as a vessel for most of the season.

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]] Dai Shi in The first episode His [[Juken Sentai Gekiranger]] counterpart {{spoiler|Long}} doesn't show up until much later.

* [[Excessive Evil Eyeshadow]]: Camille's is awesome, especially in her morph sequence.

* [[The Four Gods]]: The Phantom Beast Generals

* [[Four Is Death]]: Dai Shi is Japanese for "the fourth."

* [[Funny Bruce Lee Noises]]: Notable in a season where most of the Rangers distinctively practiced Chinese-based martial art. Despite this, none of the other Rangers felt the need to bother with this, but Theo loved it.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CmOe70qin8 In one episode] they fought an "eel" monster who flopped around on the ground like he was dry-humping it, and then shot white goo all over them. It was arguably even lampshaded when the Yellow Ranger said "This guy's a freak!"

* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: Master Mao first tries to do this with Jarrod (possessed by Dai Shi) and fails. Casey does this later and succeeds, although this might be down to the fact Dai Shi was starting to lose his grip.

* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: As Bruce Kalish's fourth season, every title had four words. This led to strange titles like "Pizza Slice of Life" and "One Last Second Chance".

* [[Jerkass]]: Jarrod, even before being possessed by Dai Shi. R.J. appears to be one in an early episode but ends up subverting it.

* [[Ki Attacks]]

* [[Punny Name]]: Dai Shi. Dai (大) means great/big. Shi can mean death (死) or be a reference to shishi (獅子), which means lion.

* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: Lily's Cheetah Jab.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Master Swoop, to ''[[The Matrix]]'', possibly.

** Also, the opening two-parter "Welcome to the Jungle" is a Guns N Roses song.

** Not to mention the Five Fingers of Poison. They're a homage to ''The [[Five Deadly Venoms]].''

* [[The Starscream]]: Grizzaka. Because he blames Dai Shi for losing the war 10,000 years ago, and even more for his current status as a human. No doubt about it.

** And unlike [[Transformers|Starscream]], he ''actually wins,'' and is the leader until Dai Shi can get his position back.

** And after him come the Phantom Beasts. They are actually loyal to Dai Shi - having thought like Grizzaka back in the original war, and now believing they'd have won if they had followed Dai Shi. (Yes, ''villains'' blaming their failure on ''themselves.'' You don't see that every day.) However, they believe Dai Shi has been compromised by the will of Jarrod.

** And Michelle Langstone, Kat Manx from ''SPD'', returns as Master Guin. Who incidentally ''was also called Michelle'' in ''Gekiranger'', leading to fans deeming her Michelle Guin. Or Michelle Pengstone.

*** So the Western actress has [[Name's the Same|the same first name]] as the Japanese counterpart of her character. Is there a trope for such a coincidence?
