Appreciating the MORPH from Power Rangers Ninja Storm

From discussing the morph, intricate details, the changes in Sentai poses when brought to the states, as well as how the group morph was handled differently from previous seasons, Power Rangers Ninja Storm has a morph that should be appreciated. Let's talk about it!

And we have the very first blue female ranger, too. Also, another male yellow ranger. What a history from Power Rangers

[@GG1Productions]

Something cool about Blake and Hunter's morph is that originally, the morph sequence had power plants in the background that they drew electricity from but this was scrapped before the season aired. Video of it does exist though!

Morphing sequence and roll call in ninja storm: short, sweet, and to the point
Morphing sequence and roll call in hurricanger: HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE!?

[@deathlish4639]

The Thunder Ranger Morph is one of the most BEST morphs I think I've ever witnessed it my life, Adam and Jorgito absolutely nailed it everytime.

[@tyrantfox7801]

Their theme actually slaps.
And I love their suits

[@GodoMatrix]

I will forever cherish the memories of me and my brother thinking we were the ThunderStorm Ninjas, their morpher sequence was so cool.

[@jesserivera2043]

I absolutely loved this season. You can tell they really drew from the energy from '90s cartoons, especially TMNT. And I love how this is the first season to consistently allow all of the Rangers to share in the comic relief, and not have it fall on a side character. Wild Force tried to do that, but it was perfected here.
Almost all of the characters on the team have an analogy for a prominent TMNT character and shares some of those dynamics. Sensei being a talking rodent. Tori and Blake mirroring April and Casey. Shane and Dustin having that Leonardo and Michelangelo brotherly dynamic. Tori and Cam having that April and Donatello mutual respect for their intelligence. Shane and Hunter having the Leo and Rafael butting heads. Lother dealing with a comedy relief duo who seem to be tied at the hip like Bebop and Rocksteady. Lother and guinea pig sensei having a feud prior to the start of the series. Dustin and Blake bonding over their love of a sport, like Michelangelo and Casey. Tori having a van like April. Each Ranger having a signature sport that mirrors The turtles having their own turtle themed vehicles and transportation. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

I finally found someone who appreciates this morph as much as me. It hits so hard.

[@carlorielmendez6505]

The stock animation of the guys wearing their ninja school garb just fits, because ninjas are supposed to quickly disguise themselves and vice versa. They're seen stripping off casual clothes only to reveal the uniform underneath multiple times in the show.

[@brickinterviewertv]

and your breakdown is why ninja storm is the greatest of all time

[@HedgeOnStage]

ayyyyy!!!

[@theringleader5596]

If I'm asked what's the most iconic morph sequence in Power Rangers, it's GOTTA be Ninja Storm, but a lot of the Disney era morphing sequences were amazing. Ninja Storm just holds that special nostalgic place with me, I always loved it, and what gets me the most for enjoyment is seeing the mouth piece and visor slide into place. Something about it just makes me feel nestolgic, I can't describe it, but I love it.

[@abdaf8706]

Honestly, it stuck to me that Ninja Storm is the most mature and the most cool Power Rangers among the Power Rangers I've watched as a kid (which was not alot). But, nonetheless it was one of my favorite. The song was EMo enough, the concept was cool, the morph and the zord was amazing. Plenty of armors also. Not so boring. It was the most cool Power Rangers IMO 😂

[@by_chris]

I was born 2002 so I just missed ninja storm, I remember seeing some reruns as a kid but I never fully got to watch it up until now and it is by far one of my favorites

[@GODSPEEDV9]

“Storm is growing” 🔥🔥🔥 best music for the intro

[@Collectingmythoughts]

One of the things that I like about the Disney era morphing sequences was that they made you feel like you were in another world and they were all unique in their own kind of way.

[@davinh.]

Great breakdown, Man! I feel pumped whenever I see the Ninja Storm-Dino Thunder morph call. Now, I know why.

[@HedgeOnStage]

They’re super stimulating!

[@777redhood]

Had a huge smile on my face for the entire video..brings back fond memories when life was simpler.. also me and my friend will dress up as thunder rangers for comic con so our kid past selves can feel happy

[@M0T0283]

i remember a s a kid watching this series seeing the lm morph every episode was like the coolest thing ever

[@willdrob80]

Good to finally see someone appreciate something about Ninja Storm, the most underrated season and the best morph sequence of all time.

[@chakkmon]

Another banger video AND you're talking about my favorite season??? It's literally hit after hit with you! One of my favorite chanells to help support fr

[@HedgeOnStage]

You're the best!! 🌈

[@notrisandays]

Never even thought of it but it makes sense that they weren't actually meant to be a full team together, and they just found themselves in this way. They are in fact 3 different factions in the world. Really great video

[@AudyAzfar]

Really love the breakdown. As a longlife PR fan, this really opened my eyes. Hope you cover more PR stuff. Instant sub

[@HedgeOnStage]

Thank you for stopping by!!
Check the Rainbow Line playlist here, there’s a lot more Power Rangers/Kamen Rider content here on the channel, hopefully something catches your eye! They’re similar to videos like this.
Thank you again!

[@TheOneMillionthNerd]

Unrelated fun fact actually about Turbo's morphing call. According to a draft I read of the movie they almost kept It's Morphing Time. Upgrading it to "It's Turbo Morphing Time!"
I'm very very glad they changed that 😅

[@HedgeOnStage]

oh my god yea that would’ve been kinda cringey LOL like just let it goooo

[@davionwilliams4011]

My favorite morph by far. And the dino thunder team up is top 2 team up morphs along with to the 10th power

[@ayakoholic]

Hurricanger did something similar with their combined henshin call, but I've always been disappointed that we never got all three factions doing a "Ninpuu!""Jinrai!""Tenkuu!""SHINOBI CHANGE!" like we did in Ninja Storm a few times.

[@echoesactiii3740]

Green Samurai Ranger's morph is top tier

[@michaelleary9233]

Always thought Tommy should've been the Sensei and Green Ranger like his original form. Loved DT, but he wasn't meant to be a doctor of paleontology, that should've been Billy.

[@cmiller1300]

Wild force, ninja storm & dino thunder was a legendary run

[@jessiepiquette]

I’ve managed to make it all the way up to SPD, my personal favorite, but on the count of Kat Maux

[@mvshaddymanaig8682]

r.i.p. Pua Magasiva

[@DrakunaiTsB]

Bro is him for that transition at the start 💀

[@maxmeidl4909]

This random fact has nothing to do with ninja storm, but rather its sentai counterpart; hurricanger was the first sentai to utilize the -ger at the end of its name instead of -ranger. Which would become something pretty excessive with many other sentais such as boukenger, go-onger, shinkenger, goesiger, gokiager, kroryuger, toqger, ninninger, zyyohger, etc.
It’s gotten to the point where I am now convinced that the writers of super sentai are naming their shows by just randomly drawing syllables out of a hat, and then adding -ger to the end of their made-up word.

[@StephMetz]

Whewww the crush I had on the red ranger from this season as a kid 😅

[@ritikk1120]

Disney's era of Power Rangers was the best

[@johnnyTimothyRokket]

Ninja storm was great ranger work

[@trezvg1601]

i hate that the recent seasons replaced ready with it’s morphin time

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

Cool

[@fraoct1065]

My favorite season after MMPR

[@ryanjones6827]

I like ninpuu sentai hurricaneger better than ninja storm bro
