Episodes:
Each sentai episode is briefly summarized in blue. Most usable sentai footage is listed in black bullet points. Some elements, such as the Rangers' cards and cockpit footage, are omitted.
Episode 1
The Rangers debut.
Footage:
- General Mantis blasts apart a spiral tower hanging from the clouds. On the ESAs' ship, General Thorn speaks with Master Moth. On Earth, Red Ranger briefly battles Mantis.
- As grunts rampage downtown, the Black and Yellow Rangers spring up from the ground and fight. Blue soon joins them, followed by Pink. They're surrounded until a red breeze swoops in.
- The ESAs talk, and a monster enters.
- Downtown, the monster turns buildings into rubble boulders. The five Rangers later confront him, summoning Zord heads which attach to their guns. After attacking in pairs (Red/Pink, Black/Yellow, then solo Blue), the Rangers combine their weapons into a Power Blaster and destroy the monster.
Use: The footage in this episode isn't especially noteworthy; a US-original premiere might take its place. How closely will Power Rangers adapt the angel theme? If footage of the Head Morphers' use is retained (they are part of the Rangers' morphed form, after all), will the Morphers' cards be altered in some way? Omitted, even?
Episode 2
A UFO monster captures people. The Zords debut.
Footage:
- The ESAs talk. Another monster enters.
- UFOs capture people in nets and then reassemble into the monster. Black and Yellow attack and fight grunts. Red joins, followed by Pink, who brings news of some sort.
- The four Rangers fare poorly until Blue arrives. He briefly fights the monster underwater and is then distracted before joining the others in firing the Power Blaster.
- General Thorn sends eye-bats, which enlarge the monster. The Rangers use their Head Morphers to summon the Zords, and the monster splits up into UFOs. Most are destroyed, but a single one reconstitutes the monster. The Megazord assembles; after a Zord-Head attack, the Megazord's flaming sword finishes the monster off.
Use: The extensive solo Zord battles here would contribute well to a Zord introduction episode, if such an episode is desired. Will cockpit footage be reshot? (If the ubiquitous cards are to be omitted, the answer here will have to be yes.)
Episode 3
Yellow learns to accept help and in the process forges a closer bond with Black.
Footage:
- An icy monster begins freezing the city. Yellow attacks and is vexed by Black's arrival. The others fight grunts below, but Yellow seems not to want help. Her leg is injured when the monster repels her rock attack, and Black makes the monster retreat.
- The ESAs talk.
- In the snow elsewhere, Yellow fights until her leg falters. The others arrive, to her consternation, but Black convinces her to accept help. They fight together, and Black helps Yellow with a rock attack. The Power Blaster triumphs.
- Following Zord-Head foot attacks, the Megazord finishes the monster with its sword.
Use: Yellow could easily learn a similar lesson in Power Rangers.
Episode 4
Red and Pink come to the rescue against a music monster.
Footage:
- A music monster entertains the ESAs.
- Downtown, the Rangers are pained by the monster's music. Following a grunt fight, Red is unable to aim the Power Blaster due to the music.
- In the city, General Thorn plots with the monster.
- Blue, Black, and Yellow find Thorn, grunts, and the monster preparing for a concert. After a fight, an amplifier sends painful waves to locations worldwide. As the monster rocks out, the three Rangers struggle against Thorn until cherry blossoms interrupt the music. The trio uses the Power Blaster.
- Red and Pink join in and finish with another blast. Growth, and the Megazord wins.
Use: Any secondary plot that complements the horrifically annoying music monster. (Or how about skipping this one?)
Episode 5
Blue proves himself against an infectious monster and gets new Zord Heads.
Footage:
- In a parking garage, Blue confronts a monster with an armored mouth. Black arrives, and the monster eventually retreats.
- The ESAs talk.
- Elsewhere, Blue and Black fight the monster again. Blue uses Black's axe to gouge the monster's armor; he then shoots his crossbow blast through the gouge. The others arrive, and the Power Blaster is used.
- The Megazord struggles until the Fish Heads arrive; the Fish-Head Megazord triumphs.
Use: Some sort of "Blue proves himself" plot; the monster's infectious powers could be dropped.
Episode 6
Red teaches the others to "read the wind" to thwart a super-fast monster.
Footage:
- The Rangers minus Red meet a super-fast monster. Red arrives late and concentrates, managing to slash the monster in the leg. General Mantis arrives; Red tries to fight him alone but fails.
- Later, the five Rangers confront the monster again. Red goes to slash him but meets Mantis again. The other Rangers blast the speeding monster and give chase.
- Red struggles against Mantis but eventually makes him retreat.
- Blue shares his Fish Heads with the others; they win, at which point a tired Red joins them.
- As the Megazord chases the monster on foot, the Ground Heads emerge. The Ground-Head Megazord skates after the monster and finishes him with a power kick.
Use: Obvious Red focus episode which for some reason ends with the Black and Yellow Rangers getting new Zords...?
Episode 7
Black saves the day against a dangerously observant monster.
Footage:
- The ESAs talk. A monster is analyzing Earth.
- On Earth, the Rangers (Black prominent) give the monster a beating, but he leaves with information.
- On the ESA ship, Master Moth observes the monster's data processing. Mantis and Thorn eavesdrop.
- Later, the monster disintegrates a forest. He easily counters the Rangers' weapon attacks, but as he flies off, Black attacks with his Snake-Head gun. He then tickles the monster (?!) and finishes with an axe strike.
- The monster grows and attacks the Snake Zord until the Ground Heads arrive. The Ground-Head Megazord wins.
Use: Surely a Black focus of some sort. Will the tickling be edited out?
Episode 8
A monster scrambles Red's powers. Red ultimately conjures up four new Zords.
Footage:
- Red is zapped by a monster with the power to make machines go haywire. The monster leaves.
- The ESAs talk. Later, they talk some more.
- Thorn defends the monster from the four Rangers (sans Red). The monster later grows, prompting four Dragon Heads to arrive. The Dragon-Head Megazord blasts the monster apart.
Use: A Red focus of some sort, but it remains to be seen what ailment he'll suffer or how the Dragon Heads will originate. (Note that this episode is the only appearance of these particular Zord Heads.)
Episode 9
When a queen bee monster captures the guys, Pink and Yellow have to work together to save the day.
Footage:
- A female monster vexes the generals, but Master Moth appears patient.
- Blue and Black fight the monster but are demorphed by her venom. The others arrive, but Red is demorphed next. Pink and Yellow fall last (after the girls argue about whether their two weapons will combine).
- In the woods, Yellow uses the Land Heads against the monster, and Pink acquires new Bird Heads. Combined tyrannosaurus and pterodactyl blasts destroy the monster.
- The ESAs talk before Thorn sends the eye-bats. The Bird Heads help in battle, and the Bird-Head Megazord wins.
Use: Clearly a Pink/Yellow focus; will they learn to work together?
Episode 10
Blue vows to defeat the monster who killed his comrade some time ago.
Footage:
- Blue fights a monster at the shoreline. The others arrive, but Blue is set on fighting alone. The monster gets away.
- The ESAs speak at length with the monster on their ship.
- The four Rangers (sans Blue) fare poorly against the monster. Blue eventually arrives and counters the monster's fire spin with a water spin maneuver. The monster falls to the Power Blaster.
- The Megazord gets roasted, but the Fish-Head Megazord triumphs.
Use: Some sort of Blue Focus; will Blue be revealed to have lost his partner, the Green Ranger? Note that this episode could be moved earlier, perhaps even serving as the Fish Heads' introduction.
Episode 11
Yellow thwarts an energy-stealing monster with the help of the team's robot assistant.
Footage:
- The ESAs speak with a monster.
- On Earth, the monster absorbs energy from the city. The Rangers arrive and blast the monster, but dark clouds revive him, and he continues the power drain. His attacks then demorph the Rangers.
- The Rangers later fight the monster again. Dark clouds return, and from them Master Moth speaks. He super-charges the monster, granting him an electric bowling attack (!).
- Yellow performs an extensive cheerleading routine as the fight continues, apparently returning some energy to the city. The monster is finished as Black and Yellow lend their Ground Heads to the others.
- The monster absorbs the Megazord's power. Punchbot debuts, punches the monster a lot, and finishes him with a blast.
- Master Moth is furious.
Use: A Yellow focus, but please tell me the cheerleading won't be adapted. Also, Punchbot's original form (Datas) could be omitted.
Episode 12
The Rangers defeat General Mantis.
Footage:
- Master Moth prepares for battle. Later, the generals talk, and Mantis grows annoyed. He then walks alone.
- Moth and Mantis stroll downtown. Mantis generates a flaming perimeter around that portion of the city.
- The Rangers fight Mantis, who singles out Red; Moth wallops the others. The Rangers are then swept up by a tornado apparently not of the villains' doing.
- Per Moth's wishes, Mantis stabs the master's axe into Moth's chest, releasing energy which begins to pull the moon toward the Earth.
- Red returns to fight Mantis, while the others combine beams from their Head Morphers on Moth. As Moth remains sealed in their energy, the five Rangers use powerful elemental attacks on Mantis and then drop him with the Power Blaster. Having broken free, Moth leaves in a huff.
- Mantis grows and pummels the Megazord and Punchbot. The Fish, Ground, and Bird Heads emerge from a rectangle in the sky, and the Earthpunch Megazord is formed. All of its heads fire and destroy Mantis.
Use: Any secondary plot that complements Mantis's defeat. The chest-stabbing will likely be replaced.
Episode 13
Red encourages Pink as she struggles to learn a challenging technique.
Footage:
- Thorn is giving colored seeds to a monster when Master Moth enters and blasts him. He and the monster bow, and Moth gestures assertively.
- At a construction site, the Rangers confront the monster, who eats a different seed to replicate and counter each Ranger's attack. Red uses his Morpher to summon a thunder attack, for which the monster lacks a seed. The others urge Pink to follow up, but she's bashful; the monster gets away.
- Moth viciously blasts Thorn as punishment.
- The Rangers fight the monster again; Red defers to Pink, who uses her Morpher for the thunder attack. Now, however, the monster has a seed to counter it, as Thorn explains. Red and Pink overpower him with dual thunder attacks.
- Thorn pummels the Rangers, but Red summons the Ostrich Zord, which sends Thorn flying and destroys the monster. For their giant battle, the Ostrich grows; as an arm attachment, it destroys the monster with its egg attack.
Use: A Pink/Red focus of some sort. The Ostrich could be omitted from the series with a certain amount of effort, but how likely is that?
Episode 14
General Mustache is Master Moth's trump card, but even he falls to the Rangers.
Footage:
- General Mustache arrives on the ESA ship; Master Moth appears to regard him higher than Thorn.
- Mustache is disappearing a building downtown when Yellow confronts him. Mustache blasts him; Blue arrives and scolds her. When Mustache creates a portal trap beneath them, Blue pushes Yellow aside, but she insists on trying to help; both vanish. The other Rangers arrive but soon retreat.
- Mustache resumes his portals until the Rangers return. They suck, but then Yellow and Blue escape. By standing back-to-back, they counter Mustache's teleportation abilities. The Power Blaster fails to finish him, but assorted Zord-Head gun blasts do the trick.
- The Megazord and Punchbot struggle until the Ostrich arrives; a combined blast destroys Mustache, and the buildings all return.
- Thorn looks on as Moth glows with rage.
Use: Any secondary plot that complements the tough challenge of General Mustache. (Sadly, it's that dumb Ostrich that does him in.)
Episode 15
Master Moth battles the Rangers personally.
Footage:
- In their ship, Thorn finds Master Moth looking at Earth, the ceiling absent from his chamber. Moth briefly assumes a second form before reverting. Thorn pledges allegiance.
- Moth addresses the people of Earth from the sky.
- The Rangers confront Moth on a rooftop. He easily deflects their attacks and then blasts them with little planets.
- The Rangers struggle again. Moth eventually grows, and Thorn directs the ESA ship toward Earth. The Punchcopter flies off as the Megazord remains to fight Moth.
- Moth dissolves the five Zord Heads, and Punchbot falls in normal form (Datas). As the ESA ship looms, the Megazord creates a rectangular portal and summons the 15 Zord Heads. The Earthpunch Megazord projects Moth into the ship and blasts both. Fireball ensues.
Use: Any secondary plot that complements Moth's final battle. Will Punchbot's original form be omitted?
Episode 16
Red has a rematch against General Mantis.
Footage:
- In a factory, Yellow and Black struggle against General Mantis, who now lacks his armor.
- Mantis blasts the city and mountains; in the latter, a landslide reveals a device bearing the EEM insignia.
- Mantis explains the loss of his armor during his prior defeat. Red and Blue struggle. Red then fights him alone at length. Finally, Mantis falls.
- Later, the device has opened, and monstrous footprints lead away from it.
Use: Some sort of Red focus. The debut of the EEMs will probably be foreshadowed here.
Episode 17
The Rangers battle a new villain faction. Knight debuts.
Footage:
- The Rangers confront a monster who introduces himself, as do arrivals Blob and Bigfoot. After some EEM introductions, the Rangers split up to fight the trio, but things go poorly, and the Rangers are covered in sludge.
- A bright light arrives: it's some silver armored guy, Knight! He trounces the monster, and the Rangers clean themselves up and make Blob and Bigfoot retreat.
- The aloof Knight destroys the monster, but it arises in a giant wheeled form. Knight transforms into a Lion Zord Head which then copies a dump truck for its body. The Lion wins.
- Bigfoot and Blob talk in a cave. Someone waltzes in with an eye-bat; it's Thorn in a second form!
Use: The EEMs and Knight debut. What will Knight's origin be?
Episode 18

Footage:
- Knight is hostile toward the Rangers when they try to stop him from attacking a factory. They don't fare well.
- Knight recalls being trapped under ice in his Lion Head form, at which point something below began to glow, awakening the Head. He then apparently took on his Knight form.
- Downtown, the Rangers are surprised to see grunts. Thorn also surprises them. Between grunt fights, the Rangers see a mummy monster who seals himself within a building.
- Lion Head flies down but bounces off the building's barrier. He assumes Zord form, but the Rangers stop him from ramming the building. He reverts to Knight form and waits as the Rangers tunnel inside.
- Soon, Black and Yellow are back outsie. Yellow pleads with Knight, but he duplicates Black's rock attack. As they struggle, the others eject the monster from a TV studio and convince Knight to fight him instead. The Rangers are alarmed as he uses their respective powers.
- In giant size, the Rangers form an alternate Fish-Head Megazord and then an alternate Ground-Head Megazord. Punchbot joins in for the Earthpunch Megazord, which wins.
Use: Knight is a jerkwad for some reason. The mummy's scheme will presumably be changed.
Episode 19
After being used in an evil plot, Knight vows to help humanity.
Footage:
- Thorn speaks with a water monster at a lake. Bigfoot and Blob arrive; Thorn has a plan.
- The Rangers confront a monster at an amusement park. Knight helps, but the Rangers are appalled by his indifference to civilians. The monster captures Knight, and he then retreats with Thorn.

- The Megalionzord fights alone until being overheated; the Punchcopter then fans the robot off, allowing them to finish the monster. Megalionzord and Punchcopter stand victorious.
- The EEMs talk at night; Bigfoot is frustrated, and Thorn notices something. Elsewhere, Knight notices it too.
Use: Anything, perhaps not so wacky. The Punchcopter could actually be omitted from this episode, but will it?

Footage:
- Thorn uncovers a stone monument in the mountains, but it's encased in a force field.
- Downtown, the Rangers are confronted by a giant spider monster. The monster fakes some injuries before conjuring up defeated giant monsters (from eps 17-20). The Megazord's fire sword has no effect; Knight then waltzes in in giant form (not Zord form) and pummels the monsters.
- The spider monster is knocked into a forest in small scale, where Knight continues battling him. The Rangers arrive, but Knight sends them on a mission.
- Thorn is unable to fend off the Rangers at the monument site. Red pulls the monument's dragon-sword, but Thorn then claims it and blasts the crap out of the Rangers. The spider monster leaves.

- The monster blows the Megazords back until the Lion Megazord blocks it. The Rangers form the Fish-Head Megazord and douse the monster's feathers. the Megalionzord triumphs.

- Punchbot joins the Faceship Megazord and Lion Megazord in battle (though Lion does nothing). Fembot leaves.
Use: Will Datas be retained? Note that the word "Death" often seen in the monster's monitor will surely be painted over if this episode is used. The Rangers use their golden angel wing shields a lot in these battles, too.

- Red fights Moogers downtown when suddenly a Nighlok (who bears a resemblence to Doubletone) appears. Red attempts to use his Tornado attack, however the Nighlok simply swallows it and blows Red into a building. Suddenly Samurai Red turns up and fights the Nighlok as the mysterious figure watches. The Nighlok starts to dry out and retreats.
- By the Sanzu River, Octoroo and the Nighlok discuss the situation with the mysterious figure.
- The Nighlok and Moogers attack a sports stadium and are confronted by S-Red and s-S-Blue. Suddenly the Nighlok calls on the Goseiger grunts, which fight the Samurai Rangers as the Nighlok takes on the recently-arrived Goseigers. G-Black and G-Yellow use their Boulder attacks while G-Blue and G-Pink use their Wave and Tornados attacks, but these are returned by the Nighlok.
- Samurai Green suddenly turns up and helps defeat the grunts. However, as they prepare to help the Goseigers, Blue and Green are blasted in the back by the mysterious figure who reveals himself to be Thorn in a Xandred-like form!
- S-Red takes on Thorn while S-Blue and S-Green are held back by grunts. S-Red transforms into Super Mode and impales Thorn with his Spin Sword, however Thorn summons eye-bats which start to cover S-Red. The Nighlok and grunts prevent the others from helping, and soon S-Red is completely covered. Thorn, the Nighlok and Samurai Red then disappear.
- Near some docks, from a strange fire emerges S-Red in Super Mode, however now he is wearing a black coat and gloves instead of white (the Samurai emblem is also gone from the coat). He reveals himself to have been turned evil by Thorn, as he attacks the Goseigers mercilessly. Thorn and the Nighlok later turn up to boast.
- G-Red attempts to withstand a fire attack, however collapses and demorphs.
- As S-Red attempts to attack the Samurai Rangers, Knight turns up and protects them quickly followed by S-Gold who attacks with Lantern.

- Standing before a lake filled with Sanzu River water, Thorn explains his plans to the Nighlok and S-Red as Octoroo turns up and realizes that Thorn has his own ambitions. He attacks Thorn, who is protected by the Nighlok. Octoroo retreats swearing revenge.
- S-Red uses the Fire Smasher and sends fire energy through the water lens, creating a portal.
- The Samurai and Goseiger teams (minus both Reds) rush towards the portal as Gosei Knight travels in his lion form only to be shot down. S-Red then turns up and the teams prepare for battle (Gold sends Lantern on ahead). The Goseigers take on S-Red first, as the Samurai Rangers hesitate before S-Blue leads them into battle only to be defeated by a dash attack from S-Red. The Fire Smasher cannon is then used against all of them.
- G-Blue prepares to lead a suicide attack, however S-Blue holds him back persuading him that G-Red will turn up in time. All nine Rangers then take on S-Red together, however he easily hold them all off with the Spin Sword and Bullzooka.
- As S-Red prepares to finish off G-Pink, G-Red finally turns up and takes on S-Red managing to hold his own at first before falling. As S-Red tries to use a fire attack, the Samurai Rangers use symbol power to protect him.
- G-Red then produces a card filled with fire symbol power. Using it, G-Red is surrounded by fire and uses this to defeat S-Red and remove Thorn's brainwashing.

- Lantern, having gotten lost, spots Octoroo preparing a small army of Moogers and Spitfangs to take on Thorn when he blasted from above... by the Pirate Rangers! The Moogers take on the Pirate Rangers but are destroyed easily. The Pirates then do an all-Red transformation (Red into RPM Red, Blue into Overdrive Red, Yellow into Jungle Fury Red, Green into SPD Red and Pink into Mystic Force Red). Blue, Yellow, Green and Red combine their individual attacks to destroy the Spitfangs. Red then uses a Street Saber Strike on Octoroo before destroying him with the Rail Blaster (Octoroo doesn't become a giant, having given up his mega-monster power in the final episodes of Shinkenger). The Pirates transform back, and spot Lantern watching. They ask him not to tell anyone what he's seen before leaving.
- The Goseiger and Samurai teams (minus both Reds, S-Gold and Knight) confront the Nighlok and combine their symbol power and tensou techniques, allowing them to finally hit him with their attacks (NOTE: This would have to be partially refilmed, due to the Shodophones being replaced with Samuraizers).
- Both Reds battle Thorn, who summons his ESA and EEM forms (!) and sets them on the two before the three combine powers and engulf the two Reds in an explosion. However from the explosions emerges the Shark Sword which hits the three Thorns, after which the fire parts to reveal Shark Attack S-Red and Armored G-Red. They then easily dispatch the two previous forms of Thorn before taking on the main one who they easily defeat.
- The two teams reunite, and the Goseigers reveal cards containing the symbols used by the Samurai Rangers (sans Red). When used, these cars give all the Samurai Ranger their own Super Mode jacket. Both teams then use their finishers on Thorn and the Nighlok, however before they explode Thorn fires a beam towards the Sanzu Water, which causes it to form a cyclone which sends the water towards the portal.
- The Samurai Rangers use the sealing symbol that was previously attempted against Master Xandred while the Goseigers use their defence powers. The Gosei power closes the portal while the sealing symbol gets rid of the Sanzu Water. Suddenly Thorn grows using the eye-bats while the Nighlok becomes a mega-monster.
- The Samurai Rangers summon the Claw Armor Megazord while the Goseigers summon the Megalionzord. Thorn and the Nighlok summon Moogers, only for Punchbot and Lanternzord to arrive on the scene and take them on. Both Megazords then hit Thorn and the Nighlok with their attacks before seemingly destroying them.
- Thorn has survived yet again and creates a big ball of energy which he lowers onto the assorted Zords causing a huge explosion. The Shinkengers are ejected, while Lantern and Knight are shrunk down to normal. Thorn then begins slashing the helpless Headder-Megazord and Punchbot.
- Inside the Megazord cockpit, a new card emerges. Using it, the Punchbot combines with the Megazord while Knight transforms into his Zord form and 'beams up' the Samurai Rangers and Lantern. Megazord then combines with all the other Zords to form the Headder-Ultrazord (while the Samurai Rangers and Lantern join the Goseigers in the cockpit)
- Thorn tries to take on the Ultrazord, but can't make a dent. The Samurai Rangers then give the Goseiger's card symbol power, and this allows the Ultrazord to fire off a massive finisher which combines the Samurai symbols with the Zord Heads which finally destroys Thorn.
- Samurai/Goseiger team-up. Will Jayden be turned evil? Will the Goseigers and Samurai struggle to find a way to combine the Tensou techniques with symbol power? Will Princess Megan play a minor role (in this, she takes G-Red under her wing and is instrumental in helping him to break S-Red's brainwashing however she never morphs)? Will the Pirate Rangers turn up for a cameo? Most importantly, if Goseiger isn't adapted fully could this be used as a mini-movie to introduce the Pirate Rangers?
Note: The dialogue used in the scene with the Pirate Rangers was altered for the Gokaiger episode.
