Recap / Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S3E9 Passing the Lantern

Go To

After attending a family reunion, Adam is given an ancient paper lantern in an effort to reconnect with his heritage. Zedd and Rita have it stolen in an effort to turn it into a monster, but thanks to Baboo, Squatt, and Rito's ineptness, Lanterra is accidentally created from a different one altogether. But under the impression that it's his lantern, can the Black Ranger bring himself to destroy the monster? Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull try to put their new police skills to use and find Adam's lantern.

Tropes:

  • Dramatic Irony: Adam spends most of the battle with Lanterra being hesitate to fight, unaware that it's not actually his lantern.
  • No Ontological Inertia: A rare aversion, as it's implied that defeating Lanterra would not restore the lantern it was created from.
  • Your Mind Makes It Real: Referenced with one of Ko's many lanterns.
