Post 06/15/23 14:51

Centuries ago in Japan, Nighlok monsters invaded our world, but samurai warriors defeated them with power symbols, passed down from parent to child. Today the evil Nighlok have risen once again and plan to flood the earth. Luckily, a new generation of heroes stand in their way. They are the Power Rangers Samurai.

[Music]

Octoroo: Ooh, ah, ooh. Quiet down you pesky pets. Your singing is no replacement for Dayu.

Master Xandred: Obnoxious little furballs. Octoroo, shouldn't you be doing something?

Octoroo: Yes, master. Absolutely, uh like what?

Master Xandred: Like figuring out a way to get rid of those lousy Rangers. Before I decide to get rid of you.

Ranger, troubles? I'll get rid of those polychromatic pests permanently.

Master Xandred: Who are you? You don't look familiar.

The name's Switchbeast, I work for a different master in the madness mayhem and misery game. He prefers to remain anonymous, I'm sure you understand.

Understand? I don't even know what you just said.

Switchbeast: My boss has instructed me to help out with your little Power Ranger problem.

Master Xandred: Really?!

Switchbeast: Please, leave everything to me. In only a few short hours those Rangers will be history.

[Music]

Bulk: There! We'll just sell some of these priceless treasures and we'll have more
than enough money to buy new karate
uniforms.

Spike: But Uncle Bulk?! Who's gonna buy all this junk?

Bulk: Bulk?!

Emily: What a beautiful day for a picnic.

Mike: Yeah, thanks for inviting us Antonio.

Antonio: My pleasure. It's going to be your pleasure, once you taste my habanero hollandaise herring burger. A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Mike: I'll try to think once.

Can I help with something?

Antonio: Wow?! What is up with that guy?

Mike: Huh? Maybe they're doing yoga.

Guys, I think there's something wrong.

Spike: Uncle Bulk?!

[Music]

With one zap I've trapped their spirits into useless junk and the Power Rangers are next.


[Music]

So, who else can I zap. Aha, how about I put your spirit into this chair. Those Rangers should be here by now.

Emily: Earth Slicer!

Mike: Go help those people, I got this.

Emily: Right! Just like the others they're in a trance or something.

Mike: What did you do to all of them? Wake them up?!

Nah, I don't think so.

Mike: I said wake them up!

Too easy.

Jayden: Surprise!

I think it's time for a change.

Jayden!

Switchblast! Time to make a switch.

Jayden?!

Is he okay?

Jayden wake up!

Switchbeast, you've done it again. Time to finish him off. Just one blow and the Red Ranger is history.

Mike: History is not my best subject.

Well then let me school you. In 1492 I took out the Rangers Pink and Blue. Switchblast! Time for another switcheroo.

Oh, no! You don't!

Dried out already I need Sanzu River
water to recharge. This isn't over yet
Ranger.

Emily: You won't get away with this next time! Oh, no! Mia? Kevin? There you are.

All those people are frozen and that Nighlok thinks destroying the gnome will
destroy Jayden

Time to make a switch!

Mike: He must have switched Jayden's spirit into the gnome! Oh no, Jayden. Man that's messed up!

Emily: You think they're awake in there.

We're awake, we hear you.

So this Nighlok switches people's Spirits into objects.

Yeah, and then the victim's bodies take the shape of the objects.

Jayden: Why can't you hear us?

Antonio: Hey at least we can still hear each other.

Mia: Back and forth, back and forth! Who knew being a fan was so boring.

Kevin: Boring! If this thing doesn't stop spinning soon. Think I'm going to be
sick.

What should we do, Mike?

Hmm, let me see! So, the monster tried to destroy the gnome.

Huh?

That Nighlok tried to smash the gnome after Jayden was switched into it. I think the object gets destroyed the person does too.

Emily: All those people we have to save them!

Somebody! Help me! Please!

Hello?

Hut how do we figure out what they
turned into?!

Can anyone hear me?!

We have to try or there's no hope for any of them.

Perhaps if you defeat the Nighlok then
everyone will be free.

Then we'll have to train hard until the Nighlok returns.

Sounds like a plan!

[Music]

Bulk: Oh! I'm a soda can! Man, could this get could this get any worse!

Hey you three! Stop that!

Keep laughing, Spike! In a few hours you'll be yesterday's news.

[Music]

Ooh, ah, ooh. I gotta hand it to you, switching humans out of their bodies and into worthless junk. It's pure genius!

Yeah, well you ain't seen nothing yet.

Master Xandred: Oh, really!

The trapped humans are miserable, sure.
But any minute now the real fun will begin.

The real fun?

Humans don't like piles of useless stuff sitting around. So, that means one thing they're gonna start cleaning. The humans will take the objects to a dump or a recycling center to be crushed or melted down.

What are you doing?

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey! I been kidnapped! Help!

I have a really bad feeling about

I have a really bad feeling about this!

They'll destroy the helpless humans and
they won't even know they're doing it.

Master Xandred: Well, done Switchbeast! I like your style.

And the Rangers are next!

[Music]
Bulk: Are they just going to leave our body sitting out like that?

Spike: Where should they put us?

I don't know? A hospital maybe. Oh no!

No, not the pocket! Not the pocket!


[Music]

[Music]


Emily: It's been quite a while since I've seen you practicing by yourself.

Mike: Yeah! It's also been a while since I tried taking out a Nighlok by myself.

I remember when you fought that Long-Armed Nighlok you did great.

I did lousy. If Jayden hadn't been watching my back. That Nighlok would have clobbered me.

But you were the one who figured out how
to beat him. Besides, you won't be by yourself.

Mike: But what happened to the others like I can't let that happen to you.

Nothing's gonna happen to me. We'll beat this Nighlok together!

Right!

One thing though. I saw what you did to Kevin. When we do switch everyone back
he's gonna be really mad at you.

[Music]

Kevin: Oh, when I get back in my body. Mike is so gonna get it.

Oh come on! You look kind of cute.

Cute!

What's that smell?

Oh!

Ew!

[Music]

Antonio: It's not my fault. I'm a fish out of
water.

I'll put him in the refrigerator before
he spoils.

Hey, hey, hey, let's talk about this! Please! Come on, I'm your body, right!

The Gap Sensor!

Antonio: Hey, hey, hey, you can't leave me out here!

Mike, before you go. I think you're going to need this!

I think you're going to need this

The Black Box? I'm not sure I can handle this.

You can do it, Mike. I know you can.

[Music]

Alright! I have an idea. It's pretty risky
and a little bit crazy.

Sounds like a Mike plan! What is it?

Alight here's what we do!

What's going on?

Watch out!

Let me go!

No, please!

You can't do this to us!

[Music]

No! Not the bird bait!

[Music]

Oh no! Oh no! Do not poop on me!

[Music]

Oh, that was close!

Not the food!

[Music]

Whoa! There kitty don't even think about
it! Somebody help!

Haha! They're singing my favorite song.

So you like music do you? Then let's dance!

Go Go Samurai!

Samurai Ranger, ready!

Samurai Ranger, ready!

Haha! Okay, greeny! What should we switch you with? Something nice and easy to smash.

Emily: Not so fast!

Huh?!

Yeah! Nice!

What? What did you guys do to me?

My plan worked! High-five!

Emily: Yeah!

Okay, Mr. Nighlok! Now, that you've had a taste of your own medicine. How about you tell us the quick and easy way to switch everybody back?

You sneaky snakes! Oh, I feel all gross and heroey.

Emily: Tell us the secret or you're going to get it!

Oh yeah, as loome as the this body is! I'll bet you don't want anything to happen to it! Back off or greeny gets it!

Mike: Oh, you don't like my body. Well then we'll put you somewhere else.

Emily: Here Nighlok have a ball.

What?! No?!

Penalty kick!

Ow!

I think something's wrong with this ball? It feels a little mushy.

Ow! My head!

Okay, Em! I think we've made our point.

Oh, that was just cruel! I think you broke a rib.

Emily: Serves you right, you monster.

Now tell us how to switch everybody back? Or we'll make your life really miserable!

Why you ought?

Quit stalling Nighlok!

We're waiting?

Well?

Fine! I'll do it!

Emily: Yes!

Alright, hold completely still!

Bulk: No, no, no, no, no this is really really really going to hurt. I don't want to be piece size. Spike, we're alive, we're alive.

Spike: I'm not covered in bird poop!

[Music]

[Music]

No, no, no, no, no!

Antonio!

Jayden: Buddy, you're okay!

Kevin: Antonio!

[Music]

Hey, I hit myself!

Mike is that you?

Whatever he did. I'm me again.

Not for long! Switchblast!

Okay, Mike! Let him have it!

Mike: Oh, yeah! Super Samurai Mode!

Emily: Wow!

Mike: Hey, Nighlok, how are you? I'm feeling super. Super Spin Sword! Let's finish this!

With pleasure!

Mike: Bear Disc! Time for my supercharged powers to switch you off, Nighlok!

You can't defeat me.

Mike: Super Forest Vortex!

Emily: Hey, Super Green Ranger. That really was super.

Ready for the big switch!

Mike: We're ready! Super Samurai, Combination!

Emily: Thanks to the Black Box the two of us can control all of the Zords!

Claw Armor Megazord! Mega Mode Power!

Bear FoldingZord!

Ape FoldingZord!

We are united!

Your sneaky tricks won't save you.

Mike: We don't need tricks to whoop your sorry butt. You ready, Emily?

Emily: Yeah! Let's do it!

We're doing pretty good, don't you think?

Emily: Yeah! Let's show him some of our Mega moves.

Switchblast!

Mike: Big finish!

Double Katana, Strike!

Talk about a switch!

Mike: Samurai Rangers!

Emily: Victory is ours!

Mike: Wow! We really did it, just the two of us!

Emily: Yeah! Let's never do that again.

It's a deal!

Good

[Music]

Those lucky Samurai lousers, I actually believe Switchbeast strategy would finally get rid of those Rangers, once and for all.

Ooh, ah, ooh. Music could calm you but we're missing Dayu.

Missing Dayu, missing Dayu, missing Dayu, missing Dayu.

Octoroo: Oh, pite down you furry freak. Don't mention her name.

I've heard enough! Get out!

Missing Dayu, missing Dayu, missing Dayu.

You poor little thing. Did Master Xandred cast you out like you did me.

I missed you, I missed you.

Dayu: I miss playing my Harmonium. Master Xandred burned it and I look forward to returning the favor. Until then at least I have you to talk to.

[Music]

Kevin: I can't believe you changed bodies with Switchbeast. I never would have thought of that.

Mike: It wasn't like I wanted to and it was way creepy. But it was the only way I could think of.

Mia: And you did it by yourselves. Just the two of you.

Emily: It was mostly Mike.

Mike: No way, we were a team.

Jayden: Well if it weren't for you, I'd still be a gnome. Thanks.

Kevin: Yeah, thanks guys!

Mike: So, you're not even mad about this!

Kevin: You took pictures. Give me that! Mike, give me that. Mike!

Mike: Never going to catch me!

Kevin: Mike!
