Our heroes spearhead a drive to find homes for stray animals, including an old lady's pig named Norman. But Norman is no ordinary pig. At Rita's command, he transforms into the infamous Pudgy Pig.
Tropes
- Hopeless Suitor: Pudgy Pig tries to win over a normal female pig and is naturally unsuccesful. That's until the Rangers manage to turn him back into Norman.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Zack implies that Pudgy Pig would settle for Bulk if he doesn't fork over his sandwich to the monster.
- Knight Templar: It's brief, but Zordon considers killing Norman after his transformation. Trini and Kimberly quickly talk him out of it.
- Messy Pig: Norman, at least Kimberly thinks so, though she comes around to find him cute at the end. Played straight with Pudgy Pig, however.
- Pet the Dog: Bulk and Skull's better nature begins to become apparent when they genuinely seem to be nice and want to take care of Norman the pig after adopting him. They show him off to the Angel Grove student body with pride and Skull looks through a book on how to properly raise a pig. This quickly dissipates after Norman's transformation.
- Stock Footage: They reused the same Zyuranger footage of the Rangers battle with Dora Circe (Pudgy Pig).
- Took a Level in Badass: Zack is able to fight off an entire group of Putties by himself while all prior Putty fights were done with the whole team present. The only exception is when Tommy fought off the Putties all by himself at the start of the "Green With Evil" saga, and even after that, he'd tend to get captured or occupied by them whenever he was needed by the others.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Pudgy Pig is no less ferocious than before, but far less evil, seeing as he's a normal pig that has been cursed via Rita's magic.
- Bulk and Skull for the above mentioned with Norman.
- Villainous Glutton: This incarnation of Pudgy Pig is as ravenous as the last, though at least he isn't risking the world's food supply like in "Food Fight". He even manages to avoid eating the Power Weapons this time.
- We Need a Distraction: Pudgy Pig is used to distract the heroes from Goldar's actual goal.
- You Can See That, Right?:Kimberly: "An old lady walking a pig? Right..."
