Comments:
Lothor manages to escape the Abyss of Evil. He
must have been so powerful that it couldn't
contain him forever.
Lothor uses his identical looks to Sensei to
trick the Wind Rangers. This is probably how he
fooled Hunter and Blake during Ninja Storm.
Lothor's bodyguards must have been famous in
Japan, because they were in the Japanese TV Show
that was based on the adventures of the Power
Rangers. Either that or a Japanese producer has
access to the Morphing Grid.
Tommy, Trent, Cam, Hunter, and Blake do not
appear morphed in this episode.
The attack of Lothor and his henchman and the
Wind Rangers on the Wind Ninja Academy was one of
the best scenes I've seen on Power Rangers.
