* How are there not one, but two, ancient ninja academies in Southern California?

* How are there not one, but two, ancient ninja academies in Southern California?California?
** Better yet, while there's some evidence of ninja clans in the schools (Cam, Hunter, and Blake, for example, have at least one (Cam) or both of their parents (Hunter and Blake as far as their adopted parents go) who are from ninja families) what are the criteria for folks like Shane, Tori, and Dustin who don't seem to have parents from verifiable ninja families to be recruited to be ninjas?
* While I get that Power Rangers, at its core, is very much a kid's show, why are we never told what trained ninja teams do when they're not training as ninjas? It's indicated that some stay back and help teach (Shane, Dustin, Tori, and Hunter) while others, like Blake, very much have '''real-world''' jobs when they're not on ninja missions, but it's never explicitly stated what fully trained ninjas do for missions. FanficFuel, anyone?

** There's a fic that explores this very premise!!! It's called ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/1119747/ Samurai Quest]]'' by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/IndigoMay/ IndigoMay]] on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn AO3]]. It connects PRNS and Power Rangers Samurai via Cam's mom. It's not been updated in almost 10 years, though, so it's very much dead, which is a shame because it's got a really good premise.

* Why would Cam's mother Miko, raised in the samurai tradition, go to a ninja school? Samurai in Japanese tradition were often from noble families, relying on face-to-face combat, while ninjas were generally mercenaries from lower classes, fighting from the shadows. It's like the difference between paladins and rogues in TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons.

** (Copied from [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm/Fridge Fridge Brilliance]]) Well, you have to keep in mind that Lothor is actually Sensei Kanoi's [[spoiler:identical twin brother]]. Not only would this fact alone make it somewhat easier for the Thunder Rangers to trust him, but as revealed in the ''Dino Thunder'' team-up, Lothor is able to flawlessly disguise himself as Kanoi to convince the Wind Rangers to put on corrupted morphers. This makes it a strong possibility that he used this ability to convince Blake and Hunter he was telling the truth (e.g. Lothor could have posed as [[spoiler:his brother]] when he killed Blake and Hunter's parents, and had one of his minions record it to provide false evidence, etc.).

** Firstly, it had been twenty years with a lot happening in between; considering the brevity of their meeting, it's not that surprising that Lothor didn't recognise Cam. Secondly, considering Lothor's warped mental state, he may have 'enjoyed' what he had become on some level.

* Between "Prelude to a Storm" and "Samurai's Journey", did Lothor recognize Cam, and if so why didn't he try to make sure Cam wouldn't go back in time (again)?
