"Fish Out of Water"
Mike comments on Kevin being too high-strung. A new monster (Yamiror) is out there that with his stink, it makes people sick. Jayden sends Kevin on a mission to find the Swordfish zord. The four fight the monster and end up getting sick. Kevin uses a fishing pole to fish it out but with little success. Kevin thinks back when he was at a pool and his dad gave him his Dragon Folding Zord and told him he had to be a Power Ranger. The flashback is brief. He is knocked out and wakes up in a little tent with an old man. The old man helps Kevin to fish the fish out. When they get the fish out, he asks what kind of fish that was. Jayden fights the monster even though sick and the others quickly join him. Kevin arrives and they finish him off with their cannon. They then use the Swordfish with the Megazord and finish off the monster. Meanwhile, a mysterious villain (Decker) watched them. The Bulk and Spike subplot has them at the beach and Bulk buried in sand.
Review:
First time I notice the credit during the first act saying "Japanese episode written by." At least they give credit to the original writer, since essentially they are copying shot by shot with some tweaks. Like the man who helped Blue in Shinkenger was a former Kuroko, their black clothed helpers. I like the tone of this episode, I think it is the tone they want. It has been hard to figure out if they wanted to be serious or campy. With the puns, it seems they want a light complicated mood. Even though it doesn't have some underlying themes the original episode had and the fisherman seems sort of useless, it is still a solid dramatic and entertaining episode.
