Line 14:
As stated above, Ninja Storm was an [[Affectionate Parody]], and [[Lampshaded]] every trope and gimmick Power Rangers had invented. [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on whether or not you find the jokes funny, but it is still an otherwise good season. Particular note goes to Cam, who is in almost as many (if not as many) fan theories as Andros and Tommy.
First series of Power Rangers to: 1) have only one girl, 2) switch the Blue and Yellow Rangers' genders, 3) begin with three Rangers, then add two, then add one more, and 4) be filmed in [[New Zealand]] ([[Banned in China|Where it was frustratingly banned from being broadcast due to the standards of violence]]).
This season unfortunately broke the chain of the [[Reunion Show|last season team up episode]] started in ''[[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|Lost Galaxy]]'', possibly due to the move to New Zealand as well as budget and union issues. Next season would continue the trend, however.
Succeeded by ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]''. Not to be confused with the ''[[Naruto]] Shippuden: [[Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2|Ultimate Ninja]] [[Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations|Storm]]'' games.
Line 27:
* [[Chest Insignia]]: Circular personal symbols on the chest. There's also the rare case of the megazord sporting a gigantic chest emblem, in the form of the Wind Academy logo.
* [[City of Adventure]]: Blue Bay Harbor
* [[Evil Plan]]: Lothor's [[Take Over the World]] plan, {{spoiler|and general bitterness at his good guy family.}}
* [[Family-Friendly Firearms]]: Applied to ''Hurricaneger'''s ''shuriken'' of all things, made "ninja beams" in ''Ninja Storm''.
* [[Five-Bad Band]]
Line 151:
* [[Groupie Brigade]]: The Rangers nearly get trampled by a Lothor-obsessed one in "I Love Lothor".
* [[Hard Light]]: The Ninja Rangers get a lot of mileage out of holographic constructs, especially with the zords: they're used to disguise the zord summoning points, "split" the megazord for its standard [[Finishing Move]], and even summon a tidal wave for the dolphin zord. Cyber-Cam is another prominent example.
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: Thunder Rangers early on.
* [[Heir to the Dojo]]: Played with, as Sensei's son Cam was specifically denied ninja training. Hence the handwave of him being a samurai while Shurikenger was explicitly "Ninja of Ninja".
* [[Horrible Camping Trip]]: In "General Deception". To quote Hunter, "I feel like the cast of ''[[Survivor]]''."
Line 184:
** [[Ninja Log]]: Done with spare costumes most of the time, but at least once with actual logs (in "Nowhere To Grow").
** [[Ninja School]]
** [[
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Lothor
* [[Opening Narration]]:
{{quote|"Deep in the mountains, secret ninja academies train our future protectors. Ancient scrolls told of three who would be chosen above the others, three who would become..." ''[cue theme music] Go! Power Rangers! Go! Ninja Storm!''}}
* [[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.
