Power Rangers Ninja Storm recap
Power Rangers Ninja Storm (2003) follows three slacking ninja students who become Rangers when the banished ninja Lothor captures everyone else. The eleventh season aired 38 episodes on ABC Kids from February to November 2003, adapting Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger; it was the first season filmed in New Zealand and stands on its own. Shane Clarke (Pua Magasiva), Tori Hanson (Sally Martin) and Dustin Brooks (Glenn McMillan) train under Sensei Kanoi Watanabe (Grant McFarland), whom Lothor, his identical twin, has turned into a guinea pig, while Sensei's son Cam (Jason Chan) runs their hidden base, Ninja Ops. Lothor first sends the Thunder Rangers, brothers Hunter (Adam Tuominen) and Blake Bradley (Jorgito Vargas Jr.), who blame Sensei for their parents' deaths until their parents' spirits reveal Lothor killed them; the brothers switch sides. Cam travels back in time for his late mother's Samurai Amulet and becomes the Green Samurai Ranger. Lothor's nieces Marah and Kapri provide comic relief.
