The Casey/Jarrod fight in the lair is one the franchise's best fights.
*the* best, fight me!

I still can't stop watching it
Best out of all season. I still watch that scene regularly. Still looks cool and badass
Fr
It seems that Jungle Fury relied less on the Sentai footage and created a lot more original content. I don’t know the reason but I think this made a huge difference. I loved how short the Zord fights were. As someone who grew up with the original MMPR, this series is exceptional.
That could mean RPM was using Jungle Fury as a test run for using non-Sentai footage
matthew koschade possibly I don’t know much about gekiranger so i can’t say how much it impacted jungle fury but I think it’s still awesome
Wishful thinking but I would like a original PR season. No Sendai . Idk if they can do that but I just wonder..
@@wtroupe64wt one of my favorite things about pr is how they adapt sentai so idk bout a pr original season
@@wtroupe64wt Yes and no.
A fully original series would require a large amount of additional spending for the Zords; There is little practical chance of Hasbro being willing to make a season without them as those are toys to sell. Unless they were willing to increase spending to create their own Zord footage and fights from scratch it is unlikely that they would consider such a move.
On the other hand such objections would apply to the series as it stands. If they opted to branch out and create other Ranger based series outside the main show then this might be a possibility. Especially if, say, that series was not live action.
Imagine, for example, a Power Ranger Animated Mini-Series in an Anime style. You automatically remove the need for expensive special effects such as Zords. Heck, an Animated Mini-Series like that could be made for a somewhat older audience, testing the waters and maybe getting those parents who watched Mighty Morphin back in the day back into the PR franchise - and hence maybe their kids. This would be especially well suited for an Animated series; They could bring the remaining cast of Mighty Morphin Back to voice their characters. But show them as being older, and have far more character building and 'adult/mature' tones. (Not sex, nudity etc. Rather more serious, with the old Rangers now understanding how dangerous things were and possibly having somewhat mixed feelings towards Zordan as a result.)
Yes, I've thought of such things far too much on occasion.
Jungle Fury is easily one of the best seasons. The rangers were awesome, the villains were convincing, and the storytelling was appealing and interesting.
Paul Verner exactly. The Rangers actually struggled. Not the, one fight then megazord. I can't remember how many times the Five Fingers Of Poison beat the Rangers which made the Rangers' win so much better
Gekiranger is a great Sentai the sentai for jungle fury
It was one of the easily relatable ones :)
This show had some of the best ranger designs
@@youtubeistryingtocensormegood show, terrible ranger designs
I completely agree that this is an under rated season. I've always enjoyed this season as one of my top seasons
The comments are actually somewhat surprising because I always saw Jungle Fury as underrated but half the responses to my videos are about how good everyone thought it was. Maybe it's because the people who hated it or never watched it didn't comment, but it strikes me now as way less underrated than I originally thought, lol.
hi Bryan Falk
@@TheDisneyBrain This was my first season, so it's no wonder I'm so obsessed now!
I completely agree. I remember watching this season multiple times.
@@TheDisneyBrain that's true but this season doesn't dissapoint whatsoever by far one of the best power rangers seasons by far
when Mao asked Casey "are you trying to save Jarod or redeem yourself!?" he should have replied "Where's the difference?"
I'd like an episode of Power Rangers where the villain they're fighting surrenders and they then have to enter a possible moral dilemma where they're not sure whether they should just execute the enemy like they usually do. It would probably have to be in a new season where the enemies always appear to silent emotionless creatures bent on destruction so it's more shocking when an enemy cries out begs for their life.
They've kind of done variations of the specific idea you're suggesting, and for the most part, I think it's a well executed concept. I'm not sure the more recent seasons would enjoy operating with moral ambiguity. I think Megaforce sort of tried that with an episode about a robot, but ehh, it was a little cringe, honestly.
You mean with the thief mutant in Time Force? Where the green ranger legit had to come and stop Erik Meyers from executing him?
@@MrPort
There was also the samurai that was tricked in lost galaxy.
@@drmayeda1930 actually that was SPD.
KamenSentaiMetalHero 2000 unless they mean Loyax, the guy maya has that fight with then help each out of a cave etc....
"People change people"
So that's where Cory Matthews got it from
LOL, I actually was thinking of him while writing it.
The Disney Brain and thus it comes back full circle.
Which makes sense, since Lion King states that life is a circle, and people changing people is the secret of life #staywoke
I remember watching this back when I was ten years younger with my mom. Even she said that this season in particular was probably the best she's ever seen. That just shows how great this season of Power Rangers was.
Even my mom appreciated the intensity of unmorphed fight scene between Casey and Dai Shee
That was for first time she got involved
One of my favorite parts in this season was how Casey and Jarrod are complete parallels of each other and they basically go through the same development but in opposite.
I absolutely loved Jungle Fury, probably one of my favorite seasons. I think part of the reason why it is less talked about compared to others is due to people still being angry at Overdrive. I remember watching it and going to forums and most people were still angry over that. There were so few comments about Jungle Fury other than a few "oh so it is a rehash of Wild Force."
Yeah, sounds about right, lol. Which I find ironic since I consider Jungle Fury more of an improvement on the animal motif than a rehash.
It's always been a fan wish of mine to see Cole and Casey interact. Both having feline zords and being inexperienced Red Rangers, And RJ and Merrick obviously due to both having wolf vibes going for them. I just love when PR has animal motifs. It's always the coolest
That would be awesome. I'd love it if Rangers could do things like that where they combine not just season adjacent teams, but similar teams. Would have been pretty cool if Cam could have swung by a Samurai episode and taught the team from his experience as a Ranger Samurai, among other ideas.
The Disney Brain That's an amazing idea! Maybe have it in the style of "Always a chance" but have it be a major story thread. As I never believed Cam would just leave the Ninja powers drained. Let's say he has the Samurai powers to the point he can morph into the form but its unstable. And visits Shiba house due to the Wind Academy having ancient ties with them, training the Samurai rangers for awhile(maybe even have him be the one who helps them unlock super Samurai) build up a big threat and have him finally morph to save one the Rangers,
I swear if I ever find the money to produce a Power Rangers season I'm bringing the Disney brain on his my head writer!!
Too bad that can't happen.
Easily one of the best seasons. Would be lying if I said Purple ranger and Dai Shi's suits weren't two of my absolute favorite designs
Dino Thunder, and Jungle Fury were my favourite mainline power rangers series, but RPM, and Lost Galaxy are very closely behind them.
Are these writers still around? If they are, we need them back!
I think most of them aren't working on the more recent seasons, unfortunately. Jackie Marchand wrote a ton of amazing episodes, including the utterly perfect "Redemption Day" for Lost Galaxy. And John Tellegen was brought in during Ninja Storm and wrote the really good "Shane's Karma" episode. But both have not penned anything Ranger related since their work on RPM.
I agree, we need these writers back, that our to get writers of the same caliber
The Disney Brain It's too bad that both of them haven't work on Ranger related since RPM. I could of imagine what's the Neo Saban Era be like if those two keep writing in Power Rangers Seasons
This has always been my favorite season. When I was younger and Netflix had every season of power rangers it was my favorite. Even after watching The original,Zeo,Dino Thunder, and In Space
i watched Jungle fury on youtube and everything about it is outstanding. i can even hum the theme song! it's that catchy. the story and details go over the edge for me as the best storytelling. my favourite episode is One Master Too Many. the writing for that episode is so complex when i realize what a great mentor and character RJ is.
I just rewatched Jungle Fury the other day. I never liked the show as a kid but now that I'm older, I really enjoy it
I remember I enjoyed this season a lot as a kid it's nice seeing it appreciated
I really wish that Casey would’ve have gotten a Battlizer they even had the chance, like “here have back the tiger spirit, actually I am gonna die soon so have my white tiger spirit as well”
Then during a later episode Casey would had to learn how to control the stronger white tiger spirit resulting in him actualizing his Battlizer as his ultimate form.
Atelier God isn't the stripe rider a battleizer?
Ghost Rider no it’s not a Battlizer just a vehicle that comes with protection and if anybody says otherwise they don’t know what a Battlizer is.
Atelier God a battleizer is a form even more powerful than the super forms that only the red ranger gets to use, and that is exactly what the stripe rider is. And besides, it's not like we haven't had any vehicle based battleizers before.
Ghost Rider true there have been vehicle based Battlizer before but this not one of them especially since the wiki doesn’t refer to it as a Battlizer or are you saying that this one bike is on par with a dragon or a legendary sword? Probably not since that bikes been there since really early in the series or are you saying he is the most powerful red ranger of all because he had his strongest form from the beginning probably not but if he had that much power why would he need to get jungle master mode it sounds useless if he already had a Battlizer so no it’s not the same
I agree it would have been cool, but I think it might have conflicted with Casey's character and role in the story. A Battlizer symbolizes that the Ranger who received it has in some way or other reached a "new level" beyond the others on their team, and I feel that would directly conflict with how Casey spends the series trying to reach his full potential, something he only reaches in the series finale. I think the real clincher against it is that he needed to fail his masters trial, something that would seem less plausible if he had already gone through the journey of getting a Battlizer, which generally involves the character learning about and/or accepting some part of their self.
This is probably my favourite season of power rangers. The story is interesting, the characters are relatable and I love Kung fu.
I really liked it when Casey came back in super megaforce
paddy murphy Pretty much summarizes one of the only things that were good about Super Megaforce. That and the returning actors from past seasons of Power Rangers, besides Jason David Frank. But other than that...Super Megaforce was just an example of how not to do an anniversary season in Power Rangers, period. The idea that we get to see a team of Power Rangers morph into past ranger teams that came before them was supposed to be an amazing moment in the history of Power Rangers. But no, thanks to Super Megaforce...I just don't want to see it happen ever again in later seasons because of all the things that season did in the past which made it so much worse in its' execution and just downright direspectful to not just the fans, but to the actors and stunt actors who were those suits.
Neo-Xgray87 yea megaforce and the other anniversary season's are cursed and for what its worth I taught that Orion and roboknight where descent characters
What about Dino Thunder? It was a great anniversary season.
Lord Galvatron was it I dont think it came out in a special year for power rangers did it
paddy murphy it was definitely
Fran was my favorite non ranger character from jungle fury.
Diana Weiner I think she was the only non ranger character
I mean, that's not hard to do, there were a lot of Rangers. :P
mine is Jared
Mine's Flit
I think the thing that makes Dom interesting is that he didn't change. I prefer him how he is. Frankly speaking, I'm kinda like him
Jungle Fury is brutally underrated.
wait, nothing on our little fly battle commentator? oh come on he was just so fun.
Dalton Hall His commentary could be annoying, but his interactions with Camille, and his friendship with RJ made me love him.
I'd put Flit the battle commentator as one of the series' weaknesses, personally.
I honestly didn't have too much to say about Flit character wise. He has a very specific role, except for that one episode where we learn more about him, and I suppose that could have been discussed. But for me, he's like Circuit from Time Force but working for the other side in the sense that I'm not really sure what to say about them other than what they do.
Casey is a good character in the same way Luke Skywalker is a good character. Both embody the same themes and struggles in a manner of speaking.
I remember when this season was on TV and I always liked it, but in the years following it seemed like there was nothing but horrible opinions on this season. I'm glad it's finally getting respect.
can i just say that jungle fury was a season that snuck onto my radar and surprised me, especially during the fight between casey and dai shi!!!
overdrive was the reason why a lot of people didnt give a chance to jungle fury and rpm
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE JUNGLE MASTER MODE cause bruhh I love it
I think something that helps Jungle fury is the main cast is actually smaller than most. there is 8 regular cast members? And that Counting Rhino guy that shows up pretty late for a ranger. That gives a lot of time to develop things.
Jungle Furry is a wonderful example of when Power Rangers does well tbh. I remember having doubts when it first aired alongside after with Rpm but both proved to be what Power Rangers can do if the team works together to make a good season.. With OO I feel that it's like Mystic Force hit and miss. Some episodes are really good others are just a miss, I can see the acting not being the best but it's a miss for sure.
Honestly this season was one that I had a lot of fun watching and am sad it isn't getting the recognition I feel it deserves.
I actually stumbled onto y our page just two days ago and i gotta say this review def made me give jungle fury another chance i'm on episode 8 but i'm enjoying it a little more than i did when i 1st watched it. thanks for the review!
You're very welcome! Glad you're enjoying it more this time around :)
I love the way you jump into these series in a positive light. I wrote off most of the disney era as crud(Barring Dino Thunder, and SPD) thanks to Linkara's History of Power rangers series.
crud?
Power Rangers Jungle Fury was a perfect season the cast just jelled with each other then the suits are amazing I love the mega zords so much for that season and I love the theme song happy 10th anniversary to Power Rangers Jungle Fury
I think one of the strengths of this season is the acting with perhaps Jarrod being the biggest example of this. The reason for Jarrod's existence, besides filling in for a Sentai hero, is because the main villain in Gekiranger was a Japanese guy called Long. It isn't a rubber suit (ie The Master) or an elaborate prop (Scorpius), there is a physical person there and emoting. The problem is that physical actors tend to be worse than voice actors in this franchise (Vypra anyone?) If Bede Skinner had been God awful, this would probably be worse than Lightspeed Rescue since at least Vypra was a secondary antagonist but Jarrod is the main villain for most of the season.
Long was one hell of a main antagonist, if you watched Gekiranger you know what I mean.His defeat made a great satisfaction
Dude honestly I've come at such a good time for your content, jungle fury was my childhood power rangers and I honestly love it and I've fallen back in love with it again, so I feel that it is very understated
I'm always happy to remind people why they loved our colorful spandex wearing superheroes :) Except RPM because they don't wear spandex and Doc K gets touchy about the topic, lol
To me this is easily one of the top 5 best written seasons; in terms of personal favourite it's one of my top 2
It's one of the greatest season, even more if you think that the focus was on actual martial arts. At start I tought it was to be like wild force but resulted on a great season.
The spirit rangers were so awesome
Any one else thinks the power protected this season
Hell to the yes!
Wat
Donting24 it a thing zordon said to the rangers and I said this because thought the problem jungle fury was going through it is a great season
The Jungle Fury theme for me stands out as one of the best in Power Rangers
Agreed!
Dadi Shi, go away! They're here to save the day!
When I jumped back into power rangers after years of not watching it. This is the series that I saw. And it is my favourite overall. I was more mature by this point and I felt that they could do really well with characters. They do falter sometimes with characters but they still have good ones now and again.
Jungle Fury is definitely in my top 5 favorites. Lost Galaxy is my favorite, btw.
one of the best seasons with the catchiest theme song to with it
Overdrive IS better than we all thought...at least in comparison to the dumpster fire that is the Neo-Saban era :/
People found Overdrive the worst when RPM came out, so it's gotten ingrained as the worst season. Since then we've gotten seasons actively trying to be worse than it.
I think part of the issue is that Overdrive had a lot of potential, and so much of it is wasted…Having one of the worst themes in the series doesn't help, either. Overdrive had plenty of good aspects, but they never get the proper focus and respect that would've helped the series overall.
@@meko750 worst themes? Let me guess because of the rap element.
To me is more of a wasted potencial
Overdrive is annoying and incoherent, but at least it’s not boring (cough megaforce cough)
Casey was my favorite character in this show! This was by far my favorite season, and I was so sad when it finished. But RPM was awesome too.
Should I make a Naruto-related video next or dive deeper into Yu Yu Hakusho?? Comment your choice here!
The Disney Brain I think a Naruto related video would be interesting
Naruto, please
Have you considered doing a Digimon related video? I'd like to hear your thoughts on the different seasons of that show. Oh, and the dubs have been done by Saban (Except for Savers/Data Squad, which was done by Disney during the same time when Power Rangers was under their wing).
Naruto please
The Disney Brain pls do lightspeed rescue
I still love Time Force more but you gave new light to Jungle Fury. I wish that the relationships (romantic) were better done but otherwise the rangers were great. You are right that no ranger felt superfluous. There was balance and I like that.
I watched this on Netflix long after it debuted, and I thought it was pretty good. The character side was excellent. I felt that it suffered on the ranger side though: the powers, the zords, etc. You can't have a series focus entirely on that (those that have, sucked), but you can't really ignore that side, either.
Such precious characters, all of them ❤️ I love this season so damn much.
I recently rewatched Jungle Fury and concluded it was waaaaaaay better than when I was a kid since I understand more about story, narrative and characters. It stood out the most because it had a obvious, recurring theme and more story and drama with and between the villains than any season I can remember. Plus the most stylistic fight choreography ever am I right?!?!
I went back and watched some of your other videos while waiting for this video. This is my favorite season of PR and I hope you do a SPD review.
Finally watching it now. From the first episode, I kept saying this is one of the greatest all time seasons! Sure it's got some cheesiness, but it's 400000000000000000000x better than the preceding Operation Overdrive, which I rewatched recently as well. Overdrive wasn't bad, imo, but it wasn't good either. Jungle Fury took that lack of momentum coming in and did things right... for the most part. Still not sure why Flit exists or why they wrote Fran as a ditsy character.
I liked Dom but it would've been dope if the white Rhino ranger was a yoked black dude. We would've had the first black white ranger and we would've ended racism.
Thanks for this video my friend. I'll now begin watching Jungle Fury for the first time right now!!
I was really surprised when I watched Jungle Fury with how excellent it was, mostly because, yeah, I hated Operation Overdrive. I’m glad to see I’m not alone!
Literally after watching this, I went and bought the dvd. Wow, definately underrated and very solid. JF is now one of my top 5 seasons.
I haven't watched Jungle Fury. Guess I'll check it out now! Watching Power Rangers with my son brought me back into the franchise just as Dino Supercharge was finishing. Since then we've seen most of Dino (Super) Charge, SPD, RPM, and Turbo, of which I'de only seen the latter.
I just recently finished Jungle Fury. You are spot on with your analysis!
Casey is so underrated as a red ranger and as a character. So is Dai Shi. I love this season so much!! I'm so glad to see others can tell how brilliant it really is. I absolutely love your take on it. The game show is the clip show. I absolutely admit the fear episodes were poorly thought out and I also agree we needed more Dom, especially because Nikolai is such an amazing actor and I feel they wasted him.
I never paid attention to the themes and characterization and literary elements and stuff when I first watched power rangers. Heck, that stuff wasn’t even mentioned to me before the school year started! By your explanation, Jungle Fury does seem better than how I originally thought it was (cause the only thing I got out of this stuff was excitement).
I have to agree, when I first came across jungle fury I still had that operation overdrive taste in my mouth that was hard to wash out for the moment. Although given that the characters of jungle fury were well written, its a mystery why this series was hardly on everyones "talk about" list of power rangers shows. Casey was a very inspiring red ranger character especially with the believing in himself arc. Yes that can come off as corny or chessy especially in these days. But that almost reminds me of billy from mmpr he had troubles on believing in himself because he was surrounded with people who were good at defending themselves. But you were able to see him grow throughout the show. Me personally still have trouble believing in myself even at the age I am now. But each of these characters are worth learning from. As of right now Im having the hardest time with being myself because on how Ive been as a friend to people I've cared about for years. Now im just trying to find my hidden ranger if you will and hopefully I'll be able to overcome my own "evil spell" that I have to break.
I grew up with Jungle Fury and RPM, but I can say I always loved this one and only rediscovered the theme again recently. As a hid, I actually had the huge Megazord set, which means the only zords I was missing were the Gorilla, Penguin, Antelope (that's what it is, right?), Claw Cannon, and Rihno zords. I also had a figure of Master Swoop with the armor gimmick. I do want to go rent some episodes or something someday and relive my childhood.
funny enough jungle fury has been my favorite season since it first aired.
I was so glad to see this video since jungle fury is my personal favorite season of power rangers
I agree it took a second watching of Jungle Fury for me to appreciate as much as I did. In fact it is in my own personal top 3 seasons alongside Wild Force and Dino Thunder. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Operation Overdive as I have a soft spot for it personally.
i enjoyed over drive as well
I would have really liked the idea of their romances starting earlier, for me I really wish we had present day Tommy & Kimberly couples like we used to get, & I've always liked the whole Jarrod and Casey dynamic, especially on Casey's part given your idea of, "People who weren't supposed to be here, making the most of being here", I think, it's been a while since I heard the first time you said that, but you get the point
Also I never took message as don't judge people based on those surface traits, but that said surface traits doesn't mean people can't change.
My fav season and with the best theme song, some parts looked like it was movie quality
Idk how this show was underrated! This is by far my most favorite PR show!
This season turned out a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I never understood all the hate about the morphers. I always thought the sunglasses were a cool and unique twist. Definitely a lot better than what we've seen in neo saban, with all the large and clunky looking morpher designs.
Jungle fury is my #1 favorite season of power rangers so far
I guess you can say that RJ was the very first purple ranger
You know I wanted Casey and Lily to be together
I wasn't the only one? Thank you!!!!
I cannot wait until you review RPM
I've never watched jungle fury, but I have to give kudos for making a season that is it's own thing even while having a lot of the i hereby aesthetics from gekiranger... a sentai show I love by the way.
I kind of skipped over Power Ranger: Jungle Fury series not knowing that it was going to be good or not but you totally convinced me. I need to go back and watch this Thank You....I liked how the actress Holly Shanahan who played Camille still was a villain that was reformed on Mystic Force playing Leelee Pimvare Necrolai's daughter.
Btw Kendall the Purple Ranger from Dino Charge I really didn't like at first because she was shading and mean girly Shelby the Pink Ranger who was one of my favorite on the series.
Daichi's scream always reminded of the the original Super Saiyan Transformation!! 😊❤️
Wonder WhyZ It’s only a matter of time before Dai Shi yells “Kamehameha!”.
In some ways, it's a bit like the new Star Wars trilogy in that the bad guy is training at the same time as the good guy
That's true! Hella excited for that new movie :)
This was actually the second Power Ranger season I ever saw, and even without the rockin' theme, I loved every moment of learning it
I just realized that that Casey's arc in this season honestly would have been perfect for Keith in 2016 voltron. Such wasted potential. If I had to give one major complaint it's the world building. Despite their being an entire academy we never see to many help, dai ahi said he learned enough from Jared destroy humanity but we never learn what that is, the already mentioned lack luster spirt world.
Honestly I liked Casey in this, he is the ultimate sigma. He does not simp, for he understands that the magic tattoo is more important than emotions, and human addiction. This is why he is the leader, RJ is skilled but he's a beta furry, Casey may also be a furry, but unlike RJ he knows what he wants and he will accept no distractions.
Be like Casey, reject human connection, pursue your goals.
Jungle fury has always been my favorite power rangers szn for literally everything you mentioned, plus I love the fact that they are trained to be able to fight even unmorphed and I’ve always enjoyed that
it's also worth noting that jungle fury is one of the seasons that was actually better then it's sentai counterpart. (atleast in my opinion.) that's rare in power rangers. VERY rare.
Yeah RJ isn't the only purple ranger but he's the only purple ranger in prime dimension
The Disney Brain you should do Ninja Storm.
This season was my all time favorite, and largely what got me into power rangers/super sentai.
Wildforce also had villians whod jump on grenades for each other.
Love ur pr reviews to death
Thank you!! :)
As a huge fan of Yu Yu Hakusho, more of that please.
And if you’re looking at the next series to tackle, I wouldn’t sneeze at a Ninja Storm Video.
I agree with you about the theme song. It might just be my favorite power rangers theme song.
The jungle pride megazord reminds me of Hero 108.
My lord. A one in a million person who remembers Hero 108 as I do
I love this season so much
I absolutely love Jungle Fury
Jungle Fury and Time Force have things in common
Wow! What a good Video Essay! You earn my subscription!!
Thank you! Glad to have you aboard :)
I enjoyed it as a kid and I researched it recently and it is in my top 5 power ranger seasons
I am surprised that Jungle Fury is so underrated because it is one of the only power ranger seasons I have ever watched. Also please do NARUTO!!!!!!
I loved the jarrod storyline it was great omg because dai shi was getting more powerful but at the same time jarrod was fighting to be a human again
Is fair to say that I only watch your Chanel for the Power Rangers content? But by lord is it good content
Haha, perfectly fair! Thanks for the support :)
