In General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gekiranger.jpg

The Jungle Fury Rangers

Animal-Motif Team: All of the Jungle Fury Rangers, plus the Spirit Rangers, are an animal themed team.
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Whereas the Overdrive Rangers were young adults with different job backgrounds hired by a millionaire to hunt for treasure and defend the world from different factions, the Jungle Fury Rangers were martial arts students chosen to defeat an evil spirit. The Overdrive Rangers used technology-based powers, while the Jungle Fury Rangers' powers were spirit-based. The Overdrive team started with five Rangers; the Jungle Fury team started with three.
Super Mode: At the midway point, the core trio gain Jungle Master Mode: In addition to the Claw Boosters as weapons, the trio have increased strength and jet boosters attached to their suits. This form also allows them to summon new Animal Spirits that they could not do from their base forms.
Three Plus Two: Another Ranger team that starts with three Rangers. The main trio would later have R.J. and Dominic join them at the second half of the season.
Transformation Trinket:
- The main trio use the Solar Morphers to morph. They are sunglass based Morphers that R.J. deems slick to wear.^note
- The Wolf Ranger uses the wrist mounted Wolf Morpher, which can also create energy blasts.
- The Rhino Ranger uses the Rhino Morpher to morph, which doubles as his weapon. When not in use, Dominic hides it in a wooden clasp bracelet.

Casey Rhodes / Jungle Fury Red Ranger

Casey Rhodes / Jungle Fury Red Ranger | (Actor: Jason Smith)

My spirit doesn't make me stronger. I make my spirit stronger.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prjf_rg_casey.jpg

Casey was a cub at the Pai Zhua Academy, but after defending a peer from Jared's bullying, Master Mao named him one of the three chosen warriors to protect the world against Dai Shi. Despite his inexperience compared to Theo and Lily, he was named the Red Jungle Fury Ranger due to his tiger spirit.

Adaptational Intelligence: Jan is a Wild Child with grammar problems and was Raised by Tigers in Gekiranger.
Badass Boast: See the above quote.
Character Development: At the beginning of the series, he's the least experienced ranger who often questions why he's in the position that he's in. While he is skilled physically and has a lot of potential, mentally he's held back by his lack of confidence and feelings of inadequacy. It's only when he believes in himself, become confident in his own conviction, and showing that even he can save someone that has gone too deep that he becomes the master that Master Mao always believed he would be.
Classical Anti-Hero: While outgoing and friendly, Casey struggles with a lack of confidence and constantly judging himself due to being the least experienced of the team.
Cool Sword: Shark Sabers, which he dual wields, or can combine to a single sword.
It's All My Fault: Deep down, he blames himself for Jarrod's fall and all the Ranger battles due to the fight they had in the first episode kickstarting a chain of events that led to Dai Shi being released.
Law of Chromatic Superiority: Averted - despite getting a Cool Bike only for himself, he's the first Red Ranger in since In Space (which was ten seasons prior) to not get a Super Mode (Unless you count the armor he wears whilst riding said bike). He gains a second master last and earns his Master stripes later than Lily and Theo.
Lightning Bruiser: It comes with being Jan's counterpart.
The McCoy: Being the least experienced of the team, he's constantly worrying about not being able to catch up. This makes him very impulsive and worries when something goes wrong.
One-Man Army: Although it usually varies between episodes, at his best he is able to fight individually at the same level as Grizzaka, Dai Shi or a Phantom Beast General, who are usually capable of defeating the rest of the group.
Panthera Awesome: Possesses the Tiger spirit.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: Not much at the start, where despite being nominally the leader of the group, he was still very inexperienced. Played straight after he trained, to the point of being the only Ranger who can consistently fight Dai Shi without being stomped.
Rookie Red Ranger: Possibly a deconstruction, as he constantly worries about not being able to catch up to Theo and Lily. This, not lack of ability, is what holds him back until he learns to let go of it.
Strong Asthey Need To Be: His power can vary, in normal cases he needs teamwork to defeat a Monster of the Week, but at his best he is capable of fighting or even winning individual battles against Overlords, Phantom beasts, generals or even Dai Shi himself.
Surpassed the Teacher: By the end of the series, he's able to have an even fight with a general Phantom Beast or Jarrod/Dai-Shi, so he's definitely more powerful than R.J and the masters.
Took a Level in Badass: In the finale, he takes down a crowd of Mooks. While unmorphed. And proceeds to go one-on-one with the Big Bad without dying horribly. Throughout the season in general, Casey becomes surer of himself and, as a result, more powerful.
Warrior Therapist: How he breaks Jarrod free of Dai Shi in the finale. It works.
Wide-Eyed Idealist: He comes to believe that Dai Shi hasn't completely overwhelmed Jarrod and that there's still some goodness in there. He and Jarrod never once got along, but he still believes in trying to save someone who wasn't always bad. The others think he's deluding himself; Master Mao even suggests that Casey's own guilt is driving this belief, and that he'll get himself hurt trying. In the penultimate episode, Casey is ultimately proven right, if getting some bruises along the way.

Lily Chilman / Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger

Lily Chilman / Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger | (Actress: Anna Hutchison)

I'm the Ranger you're gonna wish you'd never met!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prjf_rg_lily.jpg

Lily was a student at the Pai Zhua Academy and was named one of the three chosen warriors to protect the world against Dai Shi by Master Mao. She was named the Yellow Jungle Fury Ranger due to her cheetah spirit.

Action Girl: Per standard for female Power Rangers, she kicks all kinds of ass.
Adaptational Modesty: She has Stocking Filler compared to Ran who flaunts her legs.^note
Big Sister Instinct: Very protective of Casey, especially notable when she goes off to battle Rantipede on her own when he calls Casey out after he had been poisoned.
Blade Below the Shoulder: One of Lily's occasional weapons is a claw-like gauntlet she wears on her wrist.
The Heart: The kindest and most forgiving of all the rangers.
Hell-Bent for Leather: In the episode where Lily's personality is magically changed for a while, she retains her fighting skills but develops a grittier attitude and wears a black leather jacket.
The Kirk: Whereas Theo is logical and disciplined, and Casey is more impulsive, Lily is the mediator between them, helping to reign them both in and stay on task.
Nice Girl: She’s the sweetest of the team to the point at which the rest of them make fun of her for being too nice in one episode.
No Indoor Voice: Like Jason before her, once she morphs, she screams every single word. Rangerboard has affectionately dubbed it her "Rape voice."
Official Couple: With Theo.
Panthera Awesome: Possesses the Cheetah spirit. Subverted as the cheetah is not in the panthera family.
Pom-Pom Girl: Lily is a sweet-natured young woman who used to be the head cheerleader at her high school and incorporated street dancing moves into the squad's cheer routine.
Primary-Color Champion: When Dai Shi is released from his prison and kills Master Mao. She is given instructions to go to Ocean Bluff with Casey Rhodes & Theo Martin to search for a new master there and when she does, she is given a Solar Morpher that gives her the ability to transform into the Yellow Jungle Fury Ranger.
Promoted to Love Interest: Lily and Theo eventually get together, whereas Retsu and Ran didn't become a couple in Gekiranger.
Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Her "Cheetah Jabs" technique.
She Is All Grown Up: Theo certainly thinks so since he's known her for years.
The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female member of the Jungle Fury Rangers.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Like Zack, she's afraid of spiders.

Theo Martin / Jungle Fury Blue Ranger

Theo Martin / Jungle Fury Blue Ranger | (Actor: Aljin Abella)

My mind is a well-oiled machine. It can juggle two jobs, read a book, and save the world - all before the lunch rush.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prjf_rg_theo.jpg

Theo was a student at the Pai Zhua Academy and was named one of the three chosen warriors to protect the world against Dai Shi by Master Mao. He was named the Blue Jungle Fury Ranger due to his jaguar spirit.

Ascended Fanboy: "No way! Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to be a — if that's what it takes."
Blue Is Heroic: when Dai Shi is released from his prison and kills Master Mao. He is given instructions to go to Ocean Bluff with Casey Rhodes & Lily Chilman to search for a new master there and when he does, he is given a Solar Morpher that gives him the ability to transform into the Blue Jungle Fury Ranger.
Character Development: His experience and discipline are often the highlights of his character often coming off as a bit egotist and somewhat blunt. However, he doesn't like to look like a fool and thus loses face when coming across obstacles he believes are insurmountable. His expectations to perform clutters his mind, thus he must learn two things to absolve it, focus and patience. Once he overcomes this, he becomes much more relaxed and in control.
Extracurricular Enthusiast: While becoming a power ranger did limit his activity much more, in his youth, he did many, many different things, with extreme discipline.
Freudian Excuse: Thanks to his twin's more adventurous lifestyle, which inspired Theo to be more of an overachiever to get some attention. Of course, then once he got in that way, it got to him thinking he had to stay on top always to keep it going.
Jerkass: Though a heart of gold tended to show up when it counted.
The Lancer: For Casey.
The Napoleon: Shorter even than his own love interest and anyone else in the series, with a massive ego and pushing himself as the best of the bunch. In fact, it kind of screws around the show a bit, because when he morphs, he's around the same height as the other Rangers. Not that that hasn't happened with shorter Rangers before.
Neat Freak: Upon arriving in R.J's loft one of the first things he points out is that it needs cleaning.
Official Couple: With Lily.
Panthera Awesome: Jaguar.
Polar Opposite Twins: Has a twin brother named Lewin, who is fun-loving, adventurous, and nowhere near as egotistical as Theo. They're even played by the same actor.
Promoted to Love Interest: Lily and Theo eventually get together, whereas Retsu and Ran didn't become a couple in Gekiranger.
The Spock: The most disciplined of the three. He's the most skilled and serious when it comes to Kung Fu and comes off as rather harsh.
Unrelated in the Adaptation: Unlike his Sentai counterpart, he isn’t related to R.J., the purple ranger.

R.J. / Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger

Robert "R.J." James / Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger | (Actor: David de Lautour)

Remember, guys! The enemy is merciless. And just as graceful as - (falls over, springs back up) Me!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prjf_rg_rj.jpg

R.J. was a Pai Zhua Master with the spirit of the wolf and ran his own pizza place called "Jungle Karma Pizza". After Master Mao died, the three Rangers came to him to be their new mentor and he provided the trio with their powers, a place to live, and jobs at his restaurant. Eventually, he joined his students as the Wolf Ranger.

Bare-Fisted Monk: Aside from shooting Ki Manipulation from his morpher, he is the only Jungle Fury Ranger who does not possess a secondary weapon.
Beware the Silly Ones: Constantly underestimated because of his laid-back, hippie behavior, but he is a master on par with any other in the series, including his own father and Master Mao.
Big Eater: Especially when it comes to pizza.
The Big Guy: His fighting style is almost entirely hand-to-hand, and he's one of the most experienced fighters.
Composite Character: of Gekiranger's Gou (Geki Violet) and Sha-Fu, even though the latter's counterpart is Master Mao - but since Mao dies in the first episode many of Sha-Fu's early stuff gets shifted to R.J.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: A pizza-loving hippie who's also a martial arts master and superhero.
Eccentric Mentor: You can't even tell he's a martial arts master until he revealed it in his introduction.
Erudite Stoner
"I always like to leave my enemies with a... confusing thought."
"Theo, I'm ignoring your negative energy."
Friend in the Black Market: Downplayed. It's not explicitly this trope due to being a kid's show, but RJ certainly used some connections he had to acquire Ranger tech.
Genius Bruiser: Being the most experienced in combat and the one who invents most of their tech.
Ice-Cream Koan: Does those on purpose to his enemies to "leave them with a confusing thought".
Dai Shi: Consider this a draw, but hear me Wolf Master, tomorrow is another day.
RJ: And tomorrow, today will be yesterday.
Ki Manipulation: Able to shoot energy blasts out of his morpher.
Lightning Bruiser: He has some hefty attacks, and the speed to pull them off.
Mentor Archetype: For the Jungle Fury Rangers.
- Big Brother Mentor: He's far more social and "one of the guys" with his charges though, possibly because he was probably the youngest Mentor until ... well next season.
Noble Wolf: Possesses the Wolf spirit, becoming the Wolf Ranger after dealing with his Wolf Man troubles.
Purple Is Powerful: After an altercation with Jarrod that caused his Wolf Spirit to transform him into a werewolf for a short time, RJ decides to join the fight against the Dai Shi Clan as the Purple Wolf Ranger.
Smarter Than You Look: Though he may seem very laid-back and silly, he's a wise mentor with effective methods who masks himself with a calm and lazy persona.
Spiritual Antithesis: To Tommy in Dino Thunder. Both juggle day jobs that involve being the rangers' superior, both become rangers after three and both are the most experienced fighters. However, while Tommy was a former ranger and was very direct and serious from years of being a Power Ranger and insisted on training in martial arts, RJ is more casual and laid back and prefers to use the mundane to show how they are effective training methods.
Team Dad: For the Rangers.
Trademark Favorite Food: Pizza. He loves it so much he opened his own shop just to have an endless supply.
Unrelated in the Adaptation: Unlike GekiViolet, he isn’t related to Theo, the team’s blue.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Initially has this relationship with Master Finn, though they reconnect over the course of the season.
Wolf Man: Periodically turns into a werewolf after Dai Shi injures his Wolf spirit until it is healed through Fran's friendship. He reverts to his form while influenced by an evil spirit sent by Grizzaka until, with Flit's help, RJ was able to snap out of it.

Dom Hargan / Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger

Dominic "Dom" Hargan / Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger | (Actor: Nikolai Nikolaeff)

Theo: That's your very, very safe place. Under [a seat cushion] with old French fries and dead cockroaches?

Dom: Genius, huh? No one's gonna put their hands down there.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prjf_rg_dominick.jpg

Dominic was a Pai Zhua student but left after Master Mao's urging to find his way. Making his way to R.J., his prankster attitude made him weary in the Ranger's eyes, but after saving Fran from a monster attack, he joined them as the Rhino Ranger.

Badass Bookworm: He connected with Fran over books.
Bavarian Fire Drill: He arrives at Jungle Karma Pizza disguised as Health Inspector. He drops the act after RJ appears and recognizes him.
Blade Below the Shoulder: His Rhino Morpher is this while unmorphed and morphed.
Brilliant, but Lazy: The reason Master Mao sent him away. Master Mao believes that he will learn more about his destiny if he finds it himself.
Cloud Cuckoolander: Look at that quote above. That's when talking about where he left the McGuffin to keep his powers. Still, despite his odd habits, his thoughts do make a strange amount of sense.
Good Wears White: After learning that Dai Shi was released from his imprisonment, he asks to join in the fight against the Dai Shi Clan. The Jungle Fury Rangers are reluctant at first due to how carefree he seems to be but after proving himself, he is given the Rhino Morpher and becomes the White Rhino Ranger.
Power Fist: Well, it's more like a Power Chop, since it's used for chopping instead of punching.
The Prankster: Remember, he entered the show playing a practical joke on the rangers.
Rhino Rampage: Possesses the Rhino spirit.
Sixth Ranger: Well, fifth, but it's not the first time it's happened (For added humour, both were White Rangers).
- Somewhat averted, as shown in Super Megaforce when his helmet does not appear on Orion's Gold Mode. This confirms that Dominic, like RJ, is an additional Ranger.
Spiky Hair: A spike in the front anyway. His pompadour lick is clearly meant to resemble the Rhino's horn on his helmet.
Walking the Earth: According to RJ. He only stays with the team because of two things: Fran, and the chance to be a Power Ranger. Once Dai Shi is defeated, he decides to travel the world again with Fran joining him.
Will They or Won't They?: With Fran.

Animal Spirits

In General

Animal Mecha: All the Zords are based on animals, but they are formed from the Rangers inner spirit instead of being outside beings (with the exception of the Rhino Steel Zord).
Motion-Capture Mecha: Because the Animal Spirits are a part of the Rangers, they pilot the Megazords not with a control console, but with their own fighting style in an open room like cockpit.

Jungle Pride Megazord

Jungle Pride Megazord/Wolf Pride Megazord

The initial Megazord the main trio used. It was formed from the trio's main Animal Spirits: the Tiger, the Cheetah, and the Jaguar. After R.J. became the Wolf Ranger, he used his own version of the Megazord called the Wolf Pride Megazord.

Adapted Out: GekiRinTohja (a combination of the Jungle Pride Megazord with Jarrod's Lion Spirit and Camille's Chameleon Spirit) is the only formation that did not appear in Power Rangers.
Armed Legs: As the Wolf Pride Megazord, the tail of the Wolf Spirit forms a blade on the right leg.
Bare-Fisted Monk: While the Jungle Pride Megazord wields a three staff section weapon, it mostly fights with its fist.
Combining Mecha: Three Animal Spirits that form a single Megazord. For the Wolf Pride Megazord, the Wolf Spirit replaces the Cheetah Animal Spirit as the right leg.
Demoted to Extra: Once the main trio got access to the Jungle Master Megazord in the second half of the season, the Jungle Pride Megazord is shelved with a different variant of the Megazord used by R.J. for the rest of the season.
Finishing Move:
- Jungle Pride Megazord: Savage Spin: The Megazord energizes its hands with golden energy and spins its body around repeatedly as it advances towards the enemy. Once close enough, the Megazord repeatedly strikes the enemy across the face with its energized fists, turning them to stone and making them explode.
- With Elephant Power: Jungle Mace Spin Attack: The Megazord grabs the end of the Jungle Mace and spins it around at high speed to charge up with green energy. Once it gains enough momentum, the Rangers launch it straight at the enemy to slam into them.
- With Bat Power: Swoop Attack: The Rangers charge yellow energy into the right wing to unleash a devastating horizontal energy slash into the monster.
- With Shark Power: Mega Rotation Launch: The Megazord leaps into the air and charges the shark head up with blue energy, Then, the Megazord launches through the air whilst spinning in full circles to drill straight through the enemy.
- Wolf Pride Megazord: Spin Fury: The Megazord flings the leg blade into the Wolf's mouth before charging up with purple energy. The Megazord then kicks its leg sideways, firing the blade forth to rip through enemies who then turn to stone and explode.
Force and Finesse: The finesse to the Jungle Master Megazord's force as the Jungle Pride Megazord is more nimble than the former.
Panthera Awesome: All of the main three Animal Spirits in the initial Megazord configuration are cat based: Casey's Tiger, Lily's Cheetah, and Theo's Jaguar.

Land, Sea, Sky: The Elephant Spirit represents the land, the Shark Spirit represents the sea, and the Bat Spirit represents the sky.
Mecha Expansion Pack: All three Animal Spirits can combine with the Jungle Pride and the Jungle Master Megazords to form extra armoring and weapons.

Jungle Master Megazord

The second Megazord the main trio used which is accessed through Jungle Master Mode. It is comprised of the three Animal Spirits they acquired from the three deceased Pai Zhua Master: the Gorilla Spirit, the Penguin Spirit, and the Antelope Spirit.

Animal Mecha: The Jungle Master Megazord features the Gorilla Spirit, the Penguin Spirit, and the Antelope Spirit.
Bare-Fisted Monk: More so than the Jungle Pride Megazord as it lacks any stand alone weapons. Instead, the Jungle Master Megazord uses its gigantic fists for fighting.
Cool Board: The Penguin Spirit rides on a hoverboard.
Combining Mecha: The Jungle Master Megazord is the result of the three aforementioned Animal Spirits.
Finishing Move:
- Jungle Master Megazord: Jungle Master Fury Fists: The Megazord charges its fists up with red fire and charges at the monster, swinging them around in the process, It would then smack its hands into the monster, fatally wounding them and turning them into stone before exploding.
- With Shark Power: The Megazord charges up its wrist blades to cut monsters into tiny pieces which explode.
- With Elephant Power: Jungle Mace Spin: The Megazord takes the balled end and swings it in a big circle to charge up with green energy before throwing it forward to drop down onto the enemy with lethal force.
- With Bat Power: The Megazord flies to the monster before finishing them off with a flurry of punches.
Force and Finesse: The force to the Jungle Pride Megazord's finesse as the Jungle Master Megazord uses brute strength compared to the former.

Rhino Steel Zord

- Jungle Pride Charge: Animal Spirits Full Fury Savage Spin: The Tiger, Wolf, Jaguar and Cheetah Animal Spirits spin around at high speed, creating a powerful tornado that knocks the enemy into the sky. Then the Jaguar, Cheetah and Wolf Animal Spirits jump up, attacking one after the other as the Rhino slashes at the enemy with its horn blade to finish them off.
- Animal Spirit Stampede: Animal Spirits Stampede Final Strike: All the Animal Spirits spew multi-colored energy beams from their mouths/faces that slam into the monster and obliterate them.
- Jungle Pride Charge with Lion and Chameleon Power: The Lion Spirit fires purple energy orbs as the Chameleon fires its stabbing tongue at the enemy before the Rhino Steel Zord strikes the enemy's armpit and sends them flying.

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The Rhino Warrior Mode wields a shield that goes with its Rhino Steel Blade.

Transforming Mecha: The Rhino Steel Zord can transform from Rhino Mode to Rhino Warrior Mode (sometimes referred to as the Rhino Pride Megazord).

Allies

Fran | (Actor: Sarah Thomson)

A book-loving, clumsy, loyal employee of Jungle Karma Pizza.

Ascended Fangirl: In a sense. She loved the pizza place so much that she was thrilled to be offered a job there.
Badass Boast: She says one to RJ in his werewolf form. And it works
Fran: [as she stares down Werewolf RJ] You wouldn't hurt a fly, RJ. And you will not hurt me.
Badass Normal: Has no powers, and arguably gets some of the best moments in the season regardless.
Butt-Monkey: Though she does stand up for herself at times.

Motor Mouth:
Everyone: Breathe, Fran.

Take Up My Sword: A variant. In an episode where Lily is acting like a Jerkass thanks to the Monster of The Week, Fran snaps her out of it by threatening to take her morpher and help the Rangers. She only doesn't do it because the resulting brawl between her and Lily causes said snap-out.
Will They or Won't They?: With Dominic.

Master Mao

Master Mao | (Actor: Nathaniel Lees)

The grandmaster of the Pai Zhua Academy.

Decomposite Character: Master Mao has the spirit of the wildcat like Sha Fu. However, that role would be shared by R.J. after Mao dies in the season premiere.

- To be exact, the Chinese character "喵" is "Miāo" as in "a cat's meow" whereas "猫" is "Māo" which means Cat.

Panthera Awesome: His spirit is the wildcat.

A Pai Zhua Master with the spirit of the bat.

Spirit Rangers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/24_04.png

The Spirit Rangers

After the Phantom Beast Generals were unleashed, Dai Shi had them capture the Rangers' masters, and with the Crystal Eyes, he created the Spirit Rangers. While they initially fought against the Rangers, they fought with them after R.J. rescued the masters.

Ambiguously Human: In a sense. The Pai Zhua masters do not morph, but instead, it's the animal spirits that turn into the Rangers.
Bat Out of Hell: Bat Ranger.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Like many before them, they're not fighting the Rangers of their own accord.
Canon Foreigners: Like the Titanium Ranger in Lightspeed Rescue, the Spirit Rangers were original Power Rangers as '"Gekiranger'' did not have a Sixth Ranger.
Psycho Rangers: They were originally this when Dai Shi captured the masters and forced them to do his bidding. But after being free, they subvert this trope.
Sixth Ranger: Each of them holds this position, even though they were used only a few times.
Threatening Shark: Shark Ranger.
War Elephants: Elephant Ranger.

Flit

Flit | (Voice actor: Kelson Henderson)

A former enemy of Camille whom she cursed, turning him into an anthropomorphic fly. He must stay inside her stomach or die from being outside for too long but he does exit to provide commentary for the Megazord fights.

Combat Commentator: For various Megazord fights.
Expy: Of Norg. Both are actually good beings forced to work with the side of evil and both act as comic reliefs for their respective seasons. It helps that both are played by the same actor.
- Only difference is that whilst Norg has occasionally tried to help Flurious with his plans (albeit without realizing how dangerous they are), Flit hasn't attempted any evil schemes and has helped the rangers on occasion, especially RJ.
Fly Crazy: Being swallowed and swatted by Camille.
Good All Along: Flit's not a bad guy, just forced to stick with her due to unfortunate circumstances. He hasn't committed any evil acts at all and has helped RJ on more than one occasion, whom he befriends after the latter saved his life beforehand.
Laughably Evil: He's not evil at all, really. He's just forced to be with Camille due to a curse.
Small Role, Big Impact: Flit can't do very much as a fly and as a prisoner. But he has his moments. In his focus episode, he helps RJ rescue the others. He brings Master Finn's crystal eye to RJ so he can free him and start working to stop the spirit rangers. And he tells Camille and Jerrod about Dai Shi regaining his final form and that the Rangers need their help, thus bringing them into the Final Battle.
Swallowed Whole: Camille had done it in an attempt to kill him shortly after being transformed, it doesn't work. She still occasionally swallows him when he annoys her.
Was Once a Man: He was turned into a fly by Camille. He is later turned back into a human towards the finale.

Dai Shi Clan

Jarrod / Dai Shi

Jarrod / Dai Shi | (Actor: Bede Skinner; Geoff Dolan voices Dai Shi in his spirit and true form)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/45e9e68d1decc6085711659e83c9db81.jpg

An ancient and evil eight-headed Chinese dragon who initiated the "Beast War", believing that humans should be destroyed and that animals should rule the planet. However, the Order of the Claw has him locked away in their temple. After generations of being trapped, Dai Shi was released after Jarrod, a recently expelled Pai Zhua student, accidentally released him. Dai Shi possessed Jarrod and resumed his goal of destroying all humans.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Jarrod's villainy is due to possession from Dai Shi, whereas Rio did his freely until Long reveals he was using him. Dai Shi himself, while still void of redeeming traits, wants to rule the planet with animals dominant over humans rather than make humanity extinct out of nothing but boredom.
Ambiguous Situation: Whether Dai Shi possessing Jarrod is straight up possession, a corruptive influence, or a composite of their personalities is up in the air. Moments where Dai Shi expresses clear favoritism towards Camille and his dream segments with Carnisoar (as well as his training segments with the Overlords) clearly lean toward Jarrod's personality whereas the ruthlessness and harsh moments typically come from Dai Shi. The waters are just muddy enough to make it difficult to tell who's in the driver seat for most of the series.
Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: As Jarrod.
The Atoner. Near the end of the series.
Bad Boss: If Dai Shi wasn't one before he was sealed, he's one upon his release.
Casey: (to Jarrod) I saw you protect Camille, Dai Shi wouldn't have done that.
[Camille listens as she observes Casey and Jarrod/Dai Shi's fight.]
Big Bad: The main villain of the series and primary foe of the Rangers. He gets some competition here and there (mostly due to his possession of Jarrod), but Dai Shi always claws his way back to the role of top villain, and is the Final Boss by the series' end.
Character Development: A strong contender for one of the most developed villains in the franchise. Like the Rangers, Dai Shi is forced to undergo his own training arc under various masters to become more powerful as the heroes gain more abilities. He even loses the Big Bad mantle to the more powerful Grizzaka for a time and has to work his way back up. We also see Jarrod change from a conceited, short-tempered bully to a more noble figure by his genuine attachment for Camille. As the heroes change and develop, so too does the villain, but it's notable that only Jarrod undergoes this development. Dai Shi himself, while training to become more powerful, remains the evil spirit he always was and it's thematically fitting that he's brought down by the redeemed Jarrod alongside the Rangers.
Composite Character: Of Rio and Long. Specifically, Jarrod is Rio and Dai Shi is Long.
Decomposite Character: Long's humanoid monster form is used as Scorch.
Death by Adaptation/Spared By Adaptation: Dai Shi is the former, Jarrod is the latter. Dai Shi's Gekiranger counterpart Long had Complete Immortality and couldn't die while Dai Shi is ultimately killed off and Jarrod's Gekiranger counterpart Rio died while Jarrod lives.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: In the finale, Jarrod, Dai Shi's former vessel, does this with his true form.
Demonic Possession: Dai Shi possesses Jarrod in the first episode and throughout the series until the finale.
Demoted to Dragon: Temporarily at the hands of Grizzaka, though once Jarrod/Dai Shi masters Zocato power, he reclaims his throne.
Dragons Are Demonic: Dai Shi's true form is that of a giant, eight-headed dragon.
Eldritch Abomination: Probably has the most qualities of one out of any Power Rangers villain besides Dark Specter. He's less an entity and more a demonic spirit for most of the series with immense power, even being able to rip open a portal to the afterlife to revive his minions once he regained enough of his true strength, and his true form is a gigantic eight-headed dragon that's not even close to humanoid. In addition, we never find out exactly what he is or where he came from.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He cares very deeply about the family that took him in his time of needs, the Fishers and does not want to erase the good deed he's done for them as a child.
Even Evil Has Standards: Jarrod tells Dai Shi he never intended to hurt innocent people.
Evil Former Friend: Jarrod was once Dominic's roommate at the academy. Jarrod struggled to fit in, but Dominic never thought he was a bad guy and admits it's funny how things can work out.
Evil Sounds Deep: When Dai Shi is possessing Jarrod, his voice is much deeper. It's restored to normal when the two separate or when Jarrod isn't under Dai Shi's control.
Evil vs. Evil: In addition to antagonizing the Rangers, Dai Shi is often embroiled in conflict with other villains, and occasionally has to fight to retain his role as Big Bad. Initially, he deals with a rebellious Naja and later contends with the Overlords halfway through the season. By the time the Phantom Beast Generals come along, Dai Shi has eliminated all other contenders and is crowned their king.
Expy: Johnny, what are you doing in Power Rangers? Also, look at him in the average episode and say he's not channelling teenage Anakin Skywalker, or a redeemed Darth Vader near the end.
Female Gaze: Camille compliments Dai Shi's choice of the host when she sees him again for the first time.
Four Is Death: Lampshaded in that his name is Japanese.
Freudian Excuse: For Jarrod. His parents weren't around that much, and he was bullied when he was younger. On the other hand, his roommate (Dominic) mentioned that he wasn't really a bad guy, just hardened due to bad circumstances.
Generic Doomsday Villain: What Dai Shi really is. He mostly comes across as a gravelly-voiced spirit devoid of personality and most of his screen time involves him scolding Jarrod and Camille for trying to defect or absorbing power from other characters.
Hate Sink: Jarrod may have been a jerk, but even by usual PR villain standards, Dai Shi just has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Heel Realization: Realizes how far he's gone near the end of the series when Dai Shi states he choose Jarrod specifically because he lacked a heart. When he's finally freed, he goes into self-imposed exile, believing that going from being a mean-spirited bully to attempting human genocide means he doesn't deserve redemption. Fortunately, he's convinced he can turn good.
Honor Before Reason: Dai Shi / Jarrod will defer to those superior to him in skill and battle despite his hopes for genocidal conquest, and is often considered by his supposed allies to be too lenient in their work to destroy the Rangers. Part of it is Dai Shi's sense of honor as a warrior, and part of it is Jarrod's humanity lingering in his possession and holding Dai Shi back from doing his worst. The former is subverted when we see Dai Shi in his spirit form, however.
Karmic Death: Dai Shi's possession of Jarrod comes back to bite him in the finale when Jarrod goes inside of Dai Shi to weaken him using his Zocato power, similarly to how Dai Shi initially went inside of Jarrod to possess him, which then leads up to the core three Jungle Fury Rangers finally destroying him for good.
Ki Manipulation: His Zocato power can be used like this.
King of Beasts: Thanks to Jarrod's Animal Spirit, Dai Shi was able to control the Lion and form an armor of the animal's sake. Once Jarrod is freed of Dai Shi's control, he can willingly use the armor himself.
Lack of Empathy: Dai Shi displays this several times throughout the series, but his response to Jarrod's Villainous Breakdown takes the cake:
Jarrod: But I never wanted to hurt anyone, and I won't hurt anyone else!
Dai Shi: You will do as I say! Now that I have lived as a human, I know all I need to defeat them. But when the final beast war is over, all humans, including you will be erased!
Love Redeems (Minion Shipping): With Camille.
One-Winged Angel: Dai Shi assumes his true form, which is that of an eight-headed dragon, in the finale.
Our Dragons Are Different: Dai Shi's true form is an eight-headed dragon, reminiscent of Orochi.
Our Gryphons Are Different: His Phantom Beast King form.
Meaningful Echo: In the finale, he's told that it's never too late to start over to redeem himself when other characters attempted to convince him to join them and fight Dai Shi. Later after Dai Shi is destroyed, Jarrod and Camille become martial arts students again under Casey's teaching, a young boy asks them whether they're already too old to become a student. Jarrod calmly answer: "It's never too late to start over."
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Dai Shi can be translated as 'Great Death'.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Dai Shi deciding to have Camille executed only manages to bring Jarrod out and eventually leads to both of them siding with the Rangers.
Panthera Awesome: Jarrod's animal spirit. "Spirit of the mighty Lion!"
Parental Abandonment: During his childhood, his parents weren't around much, and he had to stay with a neighbour most of the time.
Sealed Evil in a Can: Dai Shi has been stuck in an (unlocked!) box for 10,000 years. The box was kept by a secret order, but opened when a disgruntled student (Jarrod) barged in and attacked the order's master, accidentally knocking the box out of his hands. Unusually, however, Dai Shi is significantly weaker than he was, and has to struggle to regain his powers before the Rangers become strong enough to destroy him.
Spared by the Adaptation: Jarrod survives the series. His Gekiranger counterpart Rio sacrificed himself during the Final Battle.
Surpassed the Teacher: Eventually he becomes much more powerful than Canisoar and Jellica.
Took a Level in Badass:
- After training from the three overlords, Dai Shi/Jarrod becomes far more powerful.
- When he gains the power of Zocato, he becomes much stronger than Grizzaka, who previously treated him like a rag doll.
- With Rinzin's power, he unlocks a new form, having Scorch as his only rival (and eventually Casey).
Ungrateful Bastard: Dai Shi doesn't care for his minions' loyalties, only their successes.
- He also doesn't appreciate the Phantom Beast Generals going behind his back, even if for Dai Shi's benefit.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: He wasn't always the bully he was shown to be in the first episode. Dominic attested he wasn't always a bad guy, just hardened. When he was even younger, Jarrod also refused to cheat on tests or get into fights at school and helped raise money to save his neighbors' home from foreclosure. Carnisoar goes back in time (whether literally or just in Jarrod's mind is a bit unclear) and erases those moments of kindness and integrity to harden Jarrod/Dai Shi in the present.
Villainous Breakdown: Jarrod suffers a pretty major one at the beginning of "To Earn Your Stripes" in an attempt to free himself from Dai Shi.
Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Subverted. Reawakening in a far weaker state than his full power, Dai Shi has no choice but to follow his own path of power to try to match up, and a good amount of the series is his conflicts and struggles in achieving that strength between conflicts with the Rangers and his own Overlord generals. Which, in turn, ends up being Jarrod's own training arc the entire time under Dai Shi's nose.
You Have Failed Me: He strips Whiger of his Rinzin, title, and rank and banishes him from his temple as punishment for his defeat by the hands of the Jungle Master Stampede Formation.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: He allows the Rangers to destroy Carnisoar and Grizzaka and the Phantom Beast Generals to destroy Jellica because they are no longer needed by him now that he has learned to harness his hatred and deceit thanks to Carnisoar and Jellica and has learned Zocato on his own.
The Worf Effect: Dai Shi/ Jarrod is a powerful warrior, so he is serious when someone appears who can beat him.
- Every time Jarrod tries to fight an Overlord he gets his ass kicked, so he needs to get the Zocato in order to outpower them.
- When the rangers get an upgrade they are able to take him and his bodyguards down with relative ease, for extra humiliation it doesn't even take the entire group with Dai Shi, as Casey is able to take him down in a one on one battle.

Camille

Camille | (Actor: Holly Shanahan)

Dai Shi's loyal servant with the spirit of the chameleon. She can use her spirit to create a suit of armor for combat uses.

Adaptation Personality Change: Mele was Genki, while Camille is more serious.
Adaptational Modesty: Her Sentai counterpart is dressed like a sexy Anime Chinese Girl. Her transformed form is also Bowdlerised by removing the chameleon eyes chest plate design due to it being placed Exactly What It Says on the Tin that would've been too distracting (if not downright inappropriate) on a children's show.
Animal Motifs: The Chameleon.
Position of Literal Power: Played with. That is avoided at first, being that despite being Dai Shi's right hand she is only at the level of a Poison of Finger, but eventually played straight when Dai Shi decides to reward her by giving her Phantom General powers.
The Baroness: In a complete departure from Genki Girl Mele.
Dark Action Girl: Why do you think Dai Shi employs her as his trusted henchwoman if she couldn't fight by herself anyway?
The Dragon: To Dai Shi. Of all the generals in the series, Camille is his most loyal and consistent lieutenant.
Entitled Bitch: Being Dai Shi's dragon gives her a sense of superiority towards the rest of Dai Shi's henchmen and potential traitors.
Evil Virtues: Love, Loyalty, Humility, Honor (somewhat).
Heel Realization: In "Path of the Righteous", she realized she has feelings for Jarrod, not Dai Shi.
Hollywood Chameleon: Like Trent in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, she can perfectly blend in the shadows without casting any shadow whatsoever.
Love Redeems (Minion Shipping): With Jarrod.
Master of Disguise: Once turned herself into an attractive blonde to divert attention from the Rangers. But most of the time, she goes for the Paper-Thin Disguise route.
Overly-Long Tongue: Only natural considering her motif.
The Phoenix: Her motif after gaining Rinzin Power.
Punny Name: A woman with a chameleon Animal Motif named Camille.
Really 700 Years Old: She's 10,000 years old and doesn't look a day over 30 despite it.
Spared by the Adaptation: Mele died in the final battle with Long. Camille is more fortunate in that regard.
Super Mode: Late into the series, Camille is grated Rinzen Power by Dai Shi and gains the spirit of the Phoenix, getting a new form called Camille Phoenix. She loses this form after Dai Shi removes her Rinzen Power when she tried to protect Jarrod.
Undying Loyalty: Stays loyal to Dai Shi even after he abuses her, and even gets deposed. That is until Dai Shi tried to destroy Jarrod after being free from his body.
- And before that, she realize Dai Shi considers her expendable.
Ur-Example: Camille is technically the first female green ranger in Power Rangers history. Though she isn't officially recognized as such ^note, many fans still consider her to be.
Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Played With. In the first episodes, Camille was stronger than an average Monster of the Week, she begins to be overshadowed when The Overlords and more powerful monsters of the week appear.. This ends up being subverted after the defeat of the Overlords, with her receiving an upgrade to be on a level with the Phantom Beast Generals.
Villainous Crush: She has feelings for Dai Shi. It's unclear if she ever had before he was sealed, but seeing him in Jarrod's body certainly helped. Most of her actions involve trying to win his affections. However, by the end of the series, she's come to realize it's Jarrod she's in love with.
Villains Out Shopping:
- Once she went to visit Jungle Karma Pizza when Dai Shi was giving her a hard time. She didn't find out the Rangers' identities at the time, but they did help plant the seeds of her redemption.
- Camille finds a clue to the MacGuffin in one episode while doing a newspaper crossword puzzle.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Invoked in "To Earn Your Stripes", when she overheard that Dai Shi will personally destroy her when he sees fit.

The Five Fingers of Poison

In General

Five elite Rinshi Beasts that have mastery of poison.

Arc Villain: They stick around for a handful of episodes as the members each have a turn at the Rangers.
Conservation of Ninjutsu:
- Totally averted, when fighting as a group, the rangers don't stand a chance, and only start to get defeated when they split up.
- Donwplayed and probably subverted with Toady and Stingerella in the final battle, even though the yellow ranger is able to fight both at the same time, she ends up overwhelmed due to superior numbers.
Dwindling Party: They're progressively taken out over the course of four episodes, starting with Rantipede, then Gakko, then Toady and Stingerella, and finally Naja; Rantipede and Gakko were briefly resurrected by Naja when he defected but were dead again by the end of the episode.
Psycho Rangers: While not Power Rangers, they filled the same niche of being a powerful, multi-colored fighting team of elite warriors that could match the Rangers in combat, but lacked their unity, which played a factor in their downfall.
Quirky Miniboss Squad: Five Rinshi Beasts that have their own fighting styles to keep the Rangers on their toes. It takes four episodes for the Rangers to dispatch them all.
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Being the first group to appear, they are the weakest, and are quickly overwhelmed by the Overlords and the Phantom Beast generals.
Villainous Friendship: Between certain members, at least. All, sans Gakko, mourned Rantipede after the Rangers destroyed him, Toady and Stingerella became a Battle Couple, and Naja sacrificed two life talons to bring back Gakko and Rantipede for his coup.

Naja

Voiced by: Richard Simpson

A cobra themed Rinshi Beast and the leader of the Five Fingers of Poison.

All for Nothing: Even if his betrayal had been successful, lacking the same potential as Jarrod, the Rangers would have soon outpowered and defeated him, so his betrayal would only have served to hasten the Rangers' victory.
Ambition Is Evil: Disillusioned with Dai Shi's failure to defeat the Rangers, Naja decides a change in management is in order, with him at the helm. He's notably the first Monster of the Week to be this bold.
Big Bad Wannabe: At the end of the day, he's a Monster of the Week trying to overthrow the Big Bad. While a formidable warrior, his rebellion is quelled in a single episode, with Camille thwarting his assassination attempt, and Dai Shi easily defeating Rantipede and Gakko. Naja himself ends up killed by Camille without ever facing Dai Shi. And with the eventual arrival of the Overlords and the Phantom beasts, it becomes even more clear how far down the chain he is.
Death Is Cheap: His life talons allow him to resurrect deceased Rinshi beasts, including himself, however this ability is finite as he only possesses six talons. When Camille bests him in their initial scuffle by afflicting him with a lethal dose of venom, he uses a talon on himself to resume the fight and defeat her in turn, then later uses two more to bring back Rantipede and Gakko for his coup.
Even Evil Has Standards: He doesn't tolerate mocking fallen comrades, as he was quick to scold Gakko for speaking ill of Rantipede's death at the hands of the Rangers.
Necromancer: A variant. His life talons allow him to resurrect fallen Rinshi beasts.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: Easily the most powerful of the Five Fingers of Poison, formidable enough to even best Camille in combat. When she gains a power-up for their rematch, he still gives her a fight.
Sinister Scythe: Wields two scythes.
Small Role, Big Impact: Despite dying early on, his remaining life talons were used by Dai-Shi to revive the three Overlords later in the season.
Smug Snake: As competent and formidable as he was, Naja underestimated Camille's loyalty to Dai Shi and severely overestimated his ability to bring down Dai Shi himself. Double points for actually being modelled after a snake.
The Starscream: As the Five Fingers of Poison dwindled, Naja believed Dai-Shi was not suited for leadership and attempted a coup. He's notable for being the first Monster of the Week in Power Rangers to be this.
Villain Has a Point: Treacherous though he may be, Naja was completely right in pointing out that Dai-Shi doesn't appreciate Camille's Undying Loyalty. Even after she protected him from his assassination attempt, Dai-Shi callously remarks that loyalty is expected. That being said, however, it still doesn't prevent him from participating in the final beast war after being revived by Dai Shi in the finale.
We Can Rule Together: He offers this to Camille, appealing to her desire for recognition and appreciation. It appears to work... but Camille decides to remain loyal to Dai-Shi and kills him.
Worthy Opponent: He develops this opinion of Camille as they battle in "Pizza Slice of Life". She gives him more of a fight than he anticipated and later offers to treat her as an equal if she helps him bring down Dai Shi.

Rantipede

Voiced by: Gerald Urquhart

A centipede themed Rinshi Beast and the first member of the Five Fingers of Poison to fight the Rangers.

Big Creepy-Crawlies: A centipede themed monster.
Big "NO!": His final words before his first death.
Brown Bag Mask: Initially wore a bag over his head. Upon removing it, he revealed his status as The Grotesque.
The Bus Came Back: Was briefly revived by Naja in Pizza Slice of Life.
Co-Dragons: When Naja defected, Rantipede and Gakko were brought back to aid him in taking out Dai Shi.
Curb-Stomp Battle: His attempt to take Dai-Shi one on one doesn't end well for him, as he's effortlessly taken out mere seconds into the exchange.
Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: What his Hundred Chop attack is.
Use Your Head: Can use his centipede-shaped head like a whip.

Gakko

Voiced by: Bruce Hopkins

A gecko themed Rinshi Beast and the second member of the Five Fingers of Poison to fight the Rangers.

The Bus Came Back: Was briefly revived by Naga in Pizza Slice of Life.
Co-Dragons: He and Rantipede became Naja's co-conspirators when he decided to defect.
Crippling Overspecialization: While not a terrible fighter, Gakko prefers to leverage his ability to stick to walls and let his opponents come to him where he has a homefield advantage. When his opponent finds a way around this and he's forced to fight on even terrain, however, he soundly gets his tail kicked.
Dragon Their Feet: His decision to cut and run allows him to outlast Naja, but he's easily taken out by the Rangers soon after.
Evil Counterpart: To Theo. Both are the confident fighters of their respective teams, but Gakko's ego teeters into arrogance. When Theo loses, he momentarily loses his groove but regains his confidence and bounces back, whereas Gakko completely pitches a fit when he starts losing their rematch.
The Fighting Narcissist: Gakko constantly brags about his superb fighting skills and how he's certain to defeat the Power Rangers. While he trounces them the first time, he doesn't fair nearly as well when Theo regains his confidence and starts beating him on his own turf, at which point he throws a tantrum.
Lizard Folk: A gecko themed monster.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Dai-Shi takes out Rantipede in mere seconds, Gakko decides to book it and spread fear to gain more power. Unfortunately, he runs afoul of the Rangers and is promptly destroyed for the second time.
Sore Loser: He spends his entire episode mocking the Rangers and proclaiming his superiority, but once Theo beats him at his own game, he pitches a fit.
Stock Ninja Weaponry: Wields shurikens as his main weapon.
Wall Crawl: Thanks to his gecko theme, Gakko can stick to any surface.

Toady

Voiced by: Bruce Hopkins

A toad themed Rinshi Beast and the third member of the Five Fingers of Poison (along with Stingerella) to fight the Rangers.

Abhorrent Admirer: Towards his teammate Stingerella, but she eventually fell for him after he helped her in against the Rangers.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed, but his Gekiranger counterpart became a Jerkass after winning over Stingerella's heart.
Amphibian at Large: A human-sized toad monster.
Barrier Warrior: Can create a forcefield to protect himself from all attacks... except for the Claw Cannon.
Battle Couple: Toady and Stingerella are remarkably well-coordinated when fighting together and give the Rangers the toughest fight out of any other member in the Five Fingers of Poison.
The Brute: Plenty strong, but not very bright.
Together in Death: With Stingerella.
Villainous Virtues: Chivalry and love. His feelings toward Stingerella are genuine and he's willing to risk life and limb to protect her. These traits eventually win over Stingerella.
Wolverine Claws: Has these for combat.

Stingerella

Voiced by: Sarah Somerville

A scorpion themed Rinshi Beast and the third member of the Five Fingers of Poison (along with Toady) to fight the Rangers.

Adaptational Heroism: A minor example, but she actually gets angry at the Rangers for destroying Toady, while her Gekiranger counterpart just dismissed him as a weakling.
Battle Couple: Once she reciprocates his feelings for her, Stingerella and Toady are a force to be reckoned with in battle as they arguably give the Rangers a tougher fight than any of the other Five Fingers of Poison.
Big "NO!": Her final words before her destruction.
Dance Battler: Her main fighting style.
Kick Chick: To go along with her dancing theme, her primary form of combat almost exclusively uses her legs.
Scary Scorpions: A scorpion-themed monster. During her battle with the Jungle Pride Megazord, she unleashes a swarm of scorpions against her foes.
The Smurfette Principle: The only member of the Five Fingers of Poison that's a female.
Together in Death: With Toady.
Xenafication: Downplayed, but she maintained her vicious attitude after falling for Toady, whereas her Gekiranger counterpart became subserveant to Toady's.

The Overlords

In General

Arc Villain: They serve as the main antagonists in the second part of the series.
Obsolete Mentor: When Jarrod gains the power of the Zocato, he wastes no time disposing of them all.
The Starscream: Played With. Initially, Carnisoar and Jellica have no plans to overthrow Dai Shi even though they are stronger than him at that point, but when Grizzaka betrays Dai Shi and becomes the new boss, they have no problem switching sides.
Sorting Algorithm of Evil:
- They appear after the Five Fingers of Poison are defeated, and are much more powerful than them, to the point that Jarrod himself needs to unlock the power of the Zocato, in order to eclipse them.
- Grizzaka is the most powerful of the three, and is the last to appear.
Villain Forgot to Level Grind: They are much stronger than Jarrod when they first appear (with the possible exception of Jellica, whom Dai Shi fought on more or less equal footing), but by the time Jarrod unlocks the Zocato, their advantage is lost and they're all destroyed in short order.

Carnisoar

Carnisoar | (Voice actor: Cameron Rhodes)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b59da4d951761837c730830a74afc304.jpg

The Sky Overlord, the holder of the Hawk spirit, and a master of aerial martial arts. Dai Shi revived him in order to grow stronger.

Blue Blood: More in mannerism than anything.
Doppelgänger Spin: One of his primary methods of combat.
The Evil Genius: Figures himself as such.
Evil Mentor: To Dai Shi until Grizzaka's arrival.
Even Evil Has Standards: Downplayed, but both he and Jellica are extremely reluctant initially to revive their fellow Overlord Grizzaka, even going so far as to warn Camille when dealing with him. And given how poorly they've treated both Dai Shi and Camille, for him to give a warning at all is testament to just how unpleasant Grizzaka had to be compared to them. It doesn't last long once Grizzaka decides to take over, and they change sides along with their fellow overlord.
Feathered Fiend: His animal motif is Hawk.
The Juggernaut: When fighting the rangers, he tanked a Claw Cannon, A wolf beam and Jungle Master Mode all in a row.
Make My Monster Grow: Grew in his final battle against the Rangers.
Portmanteau: His name is a combination of carnivore and soar.
Sink or Swim Mentor: His training style is in unrelenting combat. In fact, it got so bad, that the concerned Camille was pushed to find another teacher for Dai Shi to ensure Carnisoar didn't burn him out.
Temporal Paradox: Has Jarrod go back in time to destroy any good deed he ever did (though, they were most likely restored upon his destruction).
The War Has Just Begun: His last words after being destroyed by the Rhino Pride Megazord.

Jellica

Jellica | (Voice actress: Elizabeth Easther)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/81e2bd6a7adf2e56509fb2325636147d.jpg

The Sea Overlord and the holder of the Jellyfish spirit. Camille revived her in order to train Dai Shi any further.

Adaptational Jerkass: Her Gekiranger counterpart was much kinder to Rio than she was to Jarrod.
Animal Motifs: As the name would imply, her animal spirit is the jellyfish.
Big Bad Wannabe: After Grizzaka and Carnisoar are killed, Jellica makes her own bid for power by resurrecting the Phantom Beast Generals to dispose of Dai Shi. Her attempt backfires spectacularly when the Generals opt to serve Dai Shi and kill her instead.
Can't Catch Up: Jellica at the beginning was stronger than Jarrod/Dai-shi (although Jarrod was able to put up a fight, unlike with Carnisoar), by the end of that arc Jarrod/Dai-shi only considers her a minor threat.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: In Gekiranger, Rageku was killed by Long. In Power Rangers, Jellica was killed by the Phantom Beast Generals.
Evil Mentor: First to Camille, then to Dai Shi.
Hoist by Her Own Petard: Freed the Phantom Beast Generals to defeat Dai Shi and take over, only for them to turn on her.
Hypocrite: Calls Dai Shi a traitor for going to the Rhino Nexus to gain the power to destroy Grizzaka, despite she and Carnisoar betraying him out of fear of Grizzaka, as well as the fact that all three planned to betray Dai Shi first. She also calls the Phantom Beast Generals traitors for turning against her, when she was anything but loyal herself.
Make My Monster Grow: Capable of growing at will.
Noblewoman's Laugh: Complete with the hand gesture.
Not Bad: When Jellica dismissively makes it clear in her first episode that she has no intention of training Camille, she still compliments the amount of strength and determination Camille showed prior to that point.
Oh, Crap!: She gets one when the Phantom Beast Generals turn against her, just before destroying her.

Grizzaka

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/22_07.PNG

The Earth Overlord, holder of the Grizzly Bear Animal Spirit, and master of the power of Zocato. He was the final Overlord to be revived, but he took over the leadership from Dai Shi as he felt the latter was to blame for losing the Beast Wars and for inhabiting Jarrod.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Compared with his Sentai counterpart Maku. Grizzaka is arrogant, but Maku was an egotist who threw a fit any perceived insult, which short of the Kensei challenging him was just about everything.
Arc Villain: He wastes no time dethroning Dai Shi as the Big Bad and remains in power for about seven episodes before Dai Shi reclaims the mantle, and Grizzaka is disposed of by the Rangers.
Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Believes in might makes right, and he demonstrates this by handily kicking Dai Shi's ass the instant he sees him inhabiting a human body. His enormous power allows him to retain the role of Big Bad for a time until Dai Shi grows strong enough to dethrone him.
Bears Are Bad News: As one might infer from his name, he's represented by the grizzly bear.
The Brute: He prefers brute force and overwhelming power over anything else. Unfortunately for the heroes and villains alike, he's very good at both.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Thanks to his incredible strength and mastery over Zocato, he consistently dishes these out to everyone.
- Grizzaka curb-stomps Jarrod/Dai Shi not once, not twice, but thrice. It's not until Jarrod/Dai Shi masters Zocato himself that the tables finally turn.
- The rangers attempt to fight Grizzaka with the Jungle Master Megazord when they first see him, but can't scratch him.
- Prior to Casey joining the fight, Grizzaka is easily beating the rangers in his last battle.
The Dilbert Principle: Grizzaka is a powerful warrior, but he's not that good of an Evil Overlord and displays less strategic cunning and people skills (or manipulation, anyway) than Carnisoar and Jellica, who act as his subordinates out of loyalty and fear, respectively.
The Dreaded: Dai Shi, due to his weakened state, is very nervous about reviving Grizzaka, not trusting him. Camille was likewise afraid, when she revived him she simply throw his bracelet and the life talon into the cave where he was defeated because she did not want to be near him when he came back to life.
Informed Attribute: According to Jellica, Grizzaka blames Dai Shi for losing the ancient Beast War. Never does this plot point get acknowledged afterwards nor was it ever mentioned by Grizzaka himself.
No Indoor Voice: Grizzaka screams all the time.
Make My Monster Grow: Using his Zocato powers, Grizzaka can grow himself into a giant or, in two separate cases, grow his monsters.
So Last Season: The Zocato's power that he mastered allowed him to be a huge threat, dethroning Dai-shi, taking control of the overlords, and easily defeating the rangers before Casey arrived. When the Ghost Generals appear, the Zocato is basically overshadowed by the Rinzin.
Smug Super: His arrogance about his immense power and his claims to be completely invincible are good reasons why he counts as one. And given that he's considered one of the most ridiculously overpowered villains in the Power Rangers franchise (and yes, the same can be said of his Super Sentai counterpart Maku), he has every right to be smug about it.
The Starscream: Grizzaka blames Dai Shi for losing the war 10,000 years ago and hates humans even more. This makes perfect sense as, after being revived by Camille, he, upon arriving at Dai Shi's temple, is surprised to see that Dai Shi is now using the human Jarrod as a vessel. Jarrod wants Grizzaka to teach him Zocato, but, naturally, Grizzaka isn't too thrilled about that and simply refuses to take orders from any human. Guess what he does next?
- Interestingly, out of all the Starscreams in the Power Rangers series, he is one of the few to actually succeed in overthrowing the Big Bad for a time, until Dai Shi reclaims the throne later on. Although, his reign as the main villain is rather short, compared to his Gekiranger counterpart.
- He's apparently no longer this upon his revival, due to Dai Shi becoming stronger and no longer in a human's body.
- So, by definition, Grizzaka was disloyal to Jarrod, rather than to Dai Shi himself.
This Cannot Be!: He screams this after the Rangers destroy him with the Jungle Master Stampede Formation.
This Is Unforgivable!: Before his huge battle with the Rangers, he declares to them, "You destroyed all my warriors, my royal guards, and the great Overlord Carnisoar. Finally, I shall destroy you!"
Ungrateful Bastard: Zig-zagged. He is initially grateful to Dai Shi for having him revived. But when he realizes Dai Shi is now inhabiting a human body, all that goes out the window, and he takes command for himself.
Unstoppable Rage: Even Jarrod and the other villains are wary of pissing him off.
We Meet Again: He says this verbatim to the Rangers before their huge fight in his last episode appearance before the finale.
Wolverine Claws: His bare claws.

Phantom Beast Generals

In General

Arc Villain: The last major villains of the series, following the demise of the Overlords, though unlike the latter, they're completely loyal and subservient to Dai Shi.
Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: A case where they do the dirty work for both the heroes and the Big Bad. They dispose of the rogue Jellica as soon as she tries siccing them on Dai Shi.
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: They are the final major villains of the series, and are much stronger than the Overlords, including Grizzaka. They possess Rinzin, which is much stronger than Zocato, and Whiger proves his worth by fighting on the same level as Jarrod/Dai-Shi, who at this point was much stronger than Grizzaka.

Scorch

Scorch | (Voice actor: Mark Wright)

The leader of the Phantom Beasts and possesses the Avalon Dragon Animal Spirit. His main goal was to make Dai Shi the Phantom Beast King. Later attempts to overthrow him.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed. Scorch is still evil, but he's not much of a Manipulative Bastard and The Chessmaster like Long was. Those traits fit more with Dai Shi. Instead, he's given the personality of Sanyo, Snapper's Gekiranger counterpart.
Adaptational Wimp: Long is unkillable and has a final form in Gekiranger. Scorch doesn't have any of these.
Co-Dragons: With Snapper and Whiger for Dai Shi after being revived.
Decomposite Character: He and Dai Shi are the same people and the Big Bad of Gekiranger.
The Dragon: By the final episode, he's the last general at Dai Shi's side, so he only gains this through process of elimination, but is nevertheless the penultimate opponent before the Rangers face the revived Rinshi Beast army and Dai Shi himself.
If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: How he feels about his non-pure animal teammates. He believes that Jarrod has "too much human in him" and tries to destroy that side of him. He similarly thinks very little of Camille, seeing her as unworthy of general-hood at best, and an obstruction to Dai Shi's plans at worst.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: His outburst eventually becomes part of the reason why Jarrod is able to separate himself from Dai Shi.
Our Dragons Are Different: His spirit is identified as "Avalon Dragon".
The Starscream: He was this to Dai Shi in the past, though subverts in the present as he's realized infighting led to their defeat. While he does conspire against him due to Jarrod resisting Dai Shi's control, once the two are separated he's content to loyally serve Dai Shi once more.
Undying Loyalty: To Dai Shi, not Jarrod.
Villain Decay: In the final battle, although this applied to all the villains due to the Conservation of Ninjutsu, Scorch is the biggest example, since he suffered the Decay in the same episode, being that before dying for the first time, he was able to defeat the old masters, and the rangers needed a combo attack to beat him, when he revived after a few minutes, Casey alone is capable of fighting at his level.

Snapper

Snapper | (Voice actor: Richard Simpson)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2817624446_7b7692461c_z.jpg

A Phantom Beast General that has the Snapping Turtle animal spirit.

Adaptational Wimp: Like Scorch's counterpart, he was essentially immortal in Gekiranger.
Co-Dragons: With Scorch and Whiger for Dai Shi.
Death by Woman Scorned: He really shouldn't have told Camille she wasn't worthy of being a Master. Or tried to have her killed.
The Hedonist: Compared to the other generals, he partakes in more earthly pleasures, like eating.
No-Sell: With his turtle shell on his back.
Villainous Glutton: Loves to eat. Despite his weight, is still very nimble in a fight.

Whiger

Whiger | (Voice actor: Jared Turner)

A Phantom Beast General that has the White Tiger animal spirit.

Avenging the Villain: Casey avenges him by killing Dai Shi in the last episode.
The Brute: Takes this role following the death of Grizzaka. He's the enforcer of the Phantom Beasts and the first Phantom Beast General killed. That said, the rangers aren't his killers. He's (indirectly) killed by Dai Shi.
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He's the only ally of the Rangers not to show up in the finale.
Fire-Forged Friends: With Casey.
Guest-Star Party Member: Acts as a major villain for only nine episodes. Whiger also joins the rangers for one fight, before passing away.
Heel–Face Turn: After being stripped of his Rinzin, title, and rank by Dai Shi and banished from his temple for being defeated by the Jungle Master Stampede Formation, he does this when Casey shows him his own kindness to his surprise, and the two even team up for a while. Shortly after their team-up, he fades away from existence, but not from Casey's memory.
Panthera Awesome: His spirit is the White Tiger.
Unrelated in the Adaptation: Whiger's Gekiranger counterpart was actually Jan's father. There is no relationship like that here.

Lesser Dai Shi Clan members

Rinshi Warriors

Jiang Shi-like warriors that serve as Dai Shi's foot soldiers. A select few of them can be given animal totems and become Rinshi Beasts.

Ascended Extra: Kind of odd to explain this, but in Gekiranger all the remaining Rinshi that did not become Monster of the Week were taken out near the end of the second arc and did not return until the finale. Here, the Rinshi are still active even when the Phantom Beasts are used.
Chinese Vampire: Their clearly inspired by this, most evident in their hopping movements.
Dub Name Change: Averted. They share their Sentai counterpart names.
Martial Arts Staff: A couple of them wield staffs as weapons. They can even fire energy blasts from them.
Master of Disguise: Several Rinshi can disguise themselves as humans to trap the Rangers.
Mooks: For Dai Shi's army.

Rinshi & Phantom Beasts

In General:

Adapted Out: Averted; this is one of two seasons of Power Rangers to include all of its corresponding Sentai's monsters, the other being the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
Back for the Finale: Almost all of them came back for Now the Final Fury.
Make My Monster Grow: Both Rinshi and Phantom Beasts are capable of growing on their own, but under certain conditions.
- As long as a Rinshi Beast collects enough human fear, they can grow at will anytime they want.
- For the Phantom Beasts, its an inherent ability as they can grow on their own without needing to collect fear.
Mook Promotion: What the Rinshi Beasts are. They're Rinshi Warriors that Dai Shi grants an animal totem.
So Last Season: During the first two arcs, a monster in order to become giant needed to either accumulate enough fear or be empowered by Grizzaka with the power of the Zocato, the Phantom Beasts can do so without any external factors beyond their own power.
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Similar to the generals, each group of monsters are stronger than the last, the first to appear are Camille's Rinshi Beasts which are the weakest, then the Overlords' Rinshi Beasts appear which are more powerful, and eventually the Phantom Beasts appear, which are the strongest.

Buffalord

Voiced by: Scott Alexander Young

Big "NO!": His final words before his destruction.
The Bus Came Back: Returned in Don't Blow That Dough.
Super-Strength: He strong enough to break through buildings and, assuming the presentation is accurate, blow up a car by smashing into it.
So Last Season: Despite being very strong, his feats are overshadowed by other villains throughout the season, such as Jarrod destroying huge rocks, or the first Phantom beast Sonimax causing a mini-earthquake.
The Worf Effect: He's very strong, so Casey beating him is a good way to show how effective R.J.'s training was.

Pangolin

Voiced by: Charlie McDermott

A pangolin themed Rinshi Beast.

A Dog Named "Dog": Pangolin is based on, well, a pangolin, an armored armadillo that is mostly indigenous to Asia.
The Bus Came Back: Returned in Don't Blow That Dough.
Earthquake Machine: Can create earthquakes by manipulating the fault lines.

An eel themed Rinshi Beast sent by Camille to keep the Rangers busy while Dai-Shi trained with Carnisor.

The Bus Came Back: Returned in Don't Blow That Dough.

Dual Wielding: Wields two swords.

Shock and Awe: Can fire lightning-based attacks.
Those Two Guys: With Bai Lai.
True Companions: Based on his reaction to Bai Lai's destruction, Carden considered him his best friend. This is more kid-friendly than the relationship between their Sentai counterparts.

Mister Seahorse: Was able to lay an egg before his death, releasing his son Whiricane.

Bare-Fisted Monk: Uses his fists rather than using a weapon.
