Line 128:
** What do you mean "in 'Worst Nightmare'"? Gibbs himself should be the first example, and his former boss and teacher Mike Franks should easily qualify.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'':
** The original series had a few as one-shots; Trini's uncle Howard was a [[Genius Bruiser]] type skilled in both martial arts and chemistry, who taught Billy how to fight, and puts up ''quite'' a decent fight against the Putty Patrolers ("Dark Warrior"); Trini learned praying mantis style kung fu from a teacher named Master Li ("Plague of the Mantis")
** Both played straight and averted in ''[[Power Rangers Jungle Fury]]''; some of the masters and teachers from the Order of the Claw are indeed Elderly Sensei. However, in the first episode, when the rangers are sent to the Jungle Karma Pizza restaurant to find their new master, they see a man who looks like your stereotypical Elderly Sensei and immediately assume he must be the one they are searching for, only to find out he is just a customer and the real master is the much younger owner of the restaurant.
** In ''[[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue]]'', Chad's former mentor Tomashiro was one, but he and Chad weren't exactly on good terms. Tomashiro was sorely disappointed that his student had chosen his current occupation (as a Ranger) rather than take the role as his successor. This led to Tomashiro [[Horrible Judge of Character| foolishly accepting the demon Cyclopter as a student]], who naturally [[Deceptive Disciple| turned on him after learning enough]]. By the end of that episode, Chad managed to win back his mentor's respect.
