Episode #28
The Spirit of Kindness
The episode begins with Runner and Verarat explaining their plan to Dai Shi. Using their special dust, they will be able to shrink the humans and transport them into small rat cages. As Runner and Verarat leave the throne room, Whiger enters. Dai Shi, furious with Whiger's failure to destroy the Red Ranger, strips the white tiger of his Rinzen power. Scorch is astonished that Dai Shi would ban a Phantom Beast General, especially for such a small failure as Whiger's.
At the Jungle Karma Pizza Place, the Rangers (and Fran) are having a little problem of their own. A big, white rat is roaming around the resaturant, and none of them have the courage to catch it. Finally, RJ brings his rat cage and traps the rat inside. The next day, Runner and Verarat take their plan into action. The alarm goes off and the Rangers morph for battle (minus Casey, who is still suffering from his weak Tiger Spirit). After the others leave, Whiger contacts Casey mentally. He tells Casey to meet him for battle.
Verarat tries to use his special dust against the Rangers, but it only weakens their animal spirits (rather than transporting them). RJ, Dominic, and Theo (after struggling during the battle) summon the Claw Cannon and fire it at Verarat. Vertarat retreats. Meanwhile, Casey meets Whiger, and the two begin a battle of their own. Casey, still unable to acess his Ranger form, manages to put up a fight. Whiger mentions how he lost his "honor" as a Phamtom Beast thanks to Casey. Then, during the battle, Whiger falls off a cliff. Casey quickly catches Whiger, helping the Phantom Beast General back up. Whiger questions Casey's intentions, and Casey replies that he was taught to help people. Casey leaves to help the Rangers. Whiger's body begins to fade away, but then stops and turns back to normal.
The Rangers find Verarat and continue their battle. Suddenly, Runner grows giant, forcing RJ and Dominic to summon their Zords (Wolf Pride Megazord & Rhino Steel Battle Mode). Before Dominic leaves the battle field, he throws Theo his Rhino Blade. Theo and Lily continue to fight Verarat, while RJ and Dominic use the Zords to fight Runner. Right before both Verarat and Runner are about to be destroyed, they switch places, dodging the attacks (Runner turns small to fight Lily & Theo, Vertarat turns giant to fight RJ and Dominic). Verarat uses his power to defeat the Wolf Pride & Rhino Steel Megazords. Then, Verarat and Runner sprinkle their special dust on the Rangers, weakening and transporting them into the rat cages.
Casey arrives in the deserted city, but cannot seem to find Lily, Theo, Rj, or Dominic. Whiger confronts Casey, explaining he knows where the Rangers (and other captured people from the city) are being hidden. After some hesitation, Casey finally decides to follow Whiger. Casey and Whiger arrive at the location, which is a dark area with rat cages hanging from the ceiling. Whiger points to one of the rat cages, telling Casey that his friends are trapped in their. Suddenly, Camille shows up, and a battle between the three begin. Whiger loans Casey some Tiger power, and both of them combine their Tiger attacks, causing Camille to retreat Whiger fades away, thanking Casey for teaching him about kindess. Casey morphs into Jungle Master Mode and uses his Shark Sabers to free everyone from the cages.
The Rangers finally track down Verarat and Runner. With their combined effort, both Verarat and Runner are outmatched. As usual, the two Phantom Beast Warriors grow giant size, and the Rangers summon their three Megazords (Wolf Pride, Rhino Steel, Jungle Master). Vertarat and Runner show the Rangers their tag-team spin attack, which defeats all three of the Megazords. The Rangers summon every single Zord they have, unleashing an ultimate blast. Then, the Rangers combine the Tiger, Cheetah, Jaguar, and Wolf Zords with the Rhino Steel Zord to form a new stampede combination, which finishes off Verarat and Runner.
The scene shifts to the JKP, where RJ is seen giving the rat away to a little girl who lost her pet. Casey, Theo, Lily, Dominic, and Fran dicuss how Whiger's help saved the day. Back at Dai Shi's Temple, Scorch explains to Snapper that he thinks Dai Shi's human side is showing. As the episode closes, Scorch mentions that they will have to deal with the problem.[/HIDE]
Random Thoughts:
-The Ranger's are afraid of a rat?
- God, how annoying can Burgrat and Rinner get? I wish they would shut up already!
- The unmorphed fight between Casey and Whiger was pretty cool. If only it were the actual actor performing his own stunts. *straight face*
- "I'll fight the Ram with Rhino Steel!" "And I'll use Wolf Pride Megazord!" ...Who. Cares.
- You know, Whiger summoning Casey through mental communication, reminds me a lot of Koragg and Nicks mental connection. Interesting.
- Cool, a White Tiger Spirit!
- Great use of Sentai footage in the end battle (as well as a fantastic Casey battle). Awesome BGM to go with as well.
- Fran and Dom actually had dialog. Sweet.
- ...Where's Flit?
All in all, pretty descent episode. Had it not been for Burgrat and Rinners annoyance, I would have enjoyed the episode much more. However, they were somewhat funny to a certain extent. A high 3/5.
I'm really surprised at the ratings so far, over at RangerBoard.
