''"[[Three Plus Two|Thunder Storm, Ranger Form!]]"''<br />

''"[[Sixth Ranger|Samurai Storm, Ranger Form!]]"'' }}

** [[Non-Elemental]] and [[Fuuma Shuriken]] in place of an animal theme: Cam

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Enforced as usual, except for one bit when fighting ninja ghosts:

'''Tori:''' They're ''dead''. What do they have to lose? }}

* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]

* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Tori's infamous line in the first episode, implying that Power Rangers are merely comic book characters. The line was meant to play the trope straight, but some fans thought it indicated that continuity was being rebooted. References to ''Ninja Storm'' next season were meant to correct this misconception.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: When Marah introduces Beevil:

'''Lothor:''' Littering? The most underrated of intergalactic crimes! I'm impressed! }}

* [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]: Skyla the Karmanian in "Shane's Karma"

* [[Battle Royale With Cheese]]: the finale. {{spoiler|Lothor's ressurected army versus the Rangers and the rescued Wind Academy students.}}

* [[BBC Quarry]]: One of the bigger offenders in ''Rangers'' history. Lampshaded, of course:

'''Shane:''' (in another episode) Not another rock quarry! }}

* [[Beach Episode]]: Many episodes had scenes at the beach due to Tori being a surfer, but the "Shane's Karma" two-parter had a sub-plot devoted to the Rangers trying to get some R&R at the beach.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: on occasion

** Lothor outright does this in one episode after a monster grows:

** Not to mention when he's in a zord of his own and kicking the Rangers around:

* [[Brick Break]]: The Rangers try this in "The Samurai's Journey Part 1" - they all fail, and when Cam the non-Ranger does it succeeds they think it's a trick.

* [[Cain and Abel]]: {{spoiler|Sensei and Lothor}}

* [[Cave Behind the Falls]]: Ninja Ops (though the falls are just a ninja-trick illusion)

* [[The Chosen Zero|The Chosen Zeroes]]:

'''Cam:''' [[Face Palm|Ladies and Gentlemen, the defenders of the galaxy.]] }}

* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: And ''how''.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Lothor

* [[Opening Narration]]:

* [[The Power of Rock]]: The Lightning Riff Blaster, a weapon used to summon the Mighty Mammoth Zord. It's a Guitar/Blaster, and the Mammoth Zord is summoned with one awesome chord.

* [[Power Limiter]]: Cam's weighted vest in Samurai Ranger form, which he removes when in Super Samurai Mode.

** "Looming Thunder" has a mole monster taunt "Can you guess who the mole is now?", likely referencing the then-current reality show, ''[[The Mole (TV series)|The Mole]]''. Speaking of reality shows, there's Hunter comparing a [[Horrible Camping Trip]] to ''[[Survivor]]'' in "General Deception".

** In what feels like being a bit of [[Take That]] in "I Love Lothor":

'''Marah:''' Well, it worked for [[Britney Spears|Britney]] and [[Christina Aguilera|Christina]]. }}

* [[Similar Squad]]: Three new ninja students in the finale who act suspiciously like the Wind Rangers did.

* [[Unwinnable Training Simulation]]

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Zurgane has one of these after the Rangers defeat him in "General Deception, Part 2".

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|"Well Done, Brother" Guy]]: Shane

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Very early materials suggested that the rivalry between the Wind and Thunder Rangers was supposed to play out a lot longer than it did (and possibly be the central conflict of the series, rather than a traditional villain), with kids even being encouraged to pick sides for themselves.
