History Awesome / NinjaSentaiKakuranger

* Episode #9 has Jiraiya performing a plan that involves luring Dorotabo, the fame-hungry monster of the week, by showing up on a popular quiz show. It works. Then he challenges the yokai to a cage fight and wins in martial arts, swordfighting and boxing matches--''completely unmorphed''. Oh, and the quiz show was also to help a young boy and his father (whome he was filling in for) go on a vacation, and together the two of them got every answer right.

* Episode 27: Nue turns Saizo and Seikai into Kappa, claiming if one kills the other the victor will return to human. They decide to stay Kappa forever and go to attack Nue as lowly Kappa. They put up such a fight despite the overwhelming odds that the Dorodoro mooks start rooting for them. Even going as far as getting water to revive the two when they are knocked out. Saizo and Seikai hit Nue hard enough to break their Kappa spell. In revenge, Nue destroys the Dorodoros that helped the duo, angering the two Kakurangers. Doubles as a HeartwarmingMoment for the enemy mooks to be moved by the underdog Kappa-Rangers.

* Crossing over with HeartwarmingMoment: If Jiraiya is what Japan thinks Americans are like, then it's obvious they have a pretty high opinion of us.

** From #15, we see that Saizou actually DEFEATED the Shuten Douji brothers by himself, but didn't finish them off because they had Tsuruhime as a hostage.

* Episode 17. Saizo gets humiliated by a Youkai who lost her arm to his ancestor in a duel. She's carried a grunge so she slices up his just-bought car and shreds his clothing. With the help of a kid photographer he analyzes her weakness and defeats her on foot. Bonus points for doing this with a setting sun backdrop.

* Episode 27: Nue turns Saizo and Seikao into Kappa, claiming if one kills the other the victor will return to human. They decide to stay Kappa forever and go to attack Nue as lowly Kappa. They put up a fight despite the over whelming odds that the Dorodoro mooks start rooting for them. Even going to get water to revive the two when they are knocked out. Saizo and Seikao hit Nue hard enough to break their Kappa spell. For revenge Nue destroys the Dorodoros that helped the duo, angering the two Kakurangers. Doubles as heart warming for the enemy mooks to be moved by the underdog Kappa-Rangers.

* Episode 44 has Sakuke charging villains hideout unmorphed as if Mooks and Hanarangers weren't there, striking Daimaō, which breaks Daradara parasite power. Rest of the episode is a mecha fight, really cathartic after all the suffering Ninjaman and Rangers endured during the 3-parts episode.

** Sasuke survives falling from a bridge while exploding and manages to rescue his teammates with an great display of stealth and ninja skills.

* Episode 29: The Kakurangers take out Nue with their new robots...''without combining them.'' In SuperSentai, being beaten by uncombined robots is something that usually only happens to the very first MonsterOfTheWeek, and here it's done to a KnightOfCerebus ArcVillain!

* Episode 35: Tsuruhime singlehandedly slays Kamaitachi. Not only is it a non-Red solo-kill in a time when this was still rare, it's the only time in the entire series (not counting TheMovie) that a Yokai is destroyed at human size. Every single other monster survives whatever the kakurangers throw at them long enough to call down the growth lightning, but not this one. And it's ''done by a girl''. Who's supposed to be based on [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Xuanzang]], DistressedDude extraordinary. You wonder why Tsuruhime [[EnsembleDarkhorse tends to be the most popular female rangers ever?]] This is one of the reasons right here.

** From #15, ww see that Saizou actually DEFEATED the Shuten Douji brothers by himself, but didn't finish then off because they had Tsuruhime as a hostage.
** Jiraiya stays behind to hold off the enemies to give Sasuke a chance of escaping. Pretty ballzy considering the odds.
** Sasuke survives falling from a bridge while exploding and manages to rescue his teamates with an great display of stealth and ninja skills.
** For the enemies, also. The Hanarangers outsmarted the main characters and splited them so that the Shuten Douji could fight them. Their teamwork was very cool.
