Go To

As Vrak’s plans reach their final stage, Troy must face Robo Knight to free his friend from evil.


Tropes

  • Hero Killer: Vrak kills Robo Knight by badly wounding him and leaving him to die in his exploding base. While Robo Knight manages to save Orion, he himself doesn't make it. This makes the first time in the franchise a villain actually succeeded in intentionally killing a Ranger for any significant length of time, as opposed to the Ranger performing a Heroic Sacrifice for reasons the villain never intended, making him even more this trope.
  • "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Subverted. Troy tries to invoke this trope when he is forced to fight a brainwashed Robo Knight but brings the latter back to their senses by doing an unexplained Super-Saiyan-esque powered up punch ripped straight from the source material.
  • Wham Episode: Robo Knight performs a Heroic Sacrifice to save Orion, making him the third main Ranger to truly die (as opposed to a Disney Death) in the franchise after Kendrix and the Magna Defender. As well as the first time a villain has actually succeeded in killing the Ranger they intended to kill.
