Bloom of Doom was a multi-eyed flower monster who served as the titular main antagonist of the episode "Bloom Of Doom". 

History

Lord Zedd saw that Kimberly had become bitter over the fact that Trini had more members of her club than her and decided to take advantage of this. He had Goldar create a jealousy potion and used a Putty to switch one of her cacti with a potion laced cactus which turned her into bitter rivals with Trini. Seeing Kimberly angrily sitting in a flower patch, he decided to use them against her and created Bloom of Doom from a bunch of flowers to fight the Power Rangers. Bloom of Doom encountered the Power Rangers at the city side of Angel Grove Park only to be openly surprised when all six of them arrived to confront her despite Tommy's limited powers. Bloom of Doom had long vine arms that she could use to entangle her victim in her clutches, and she could also spray incendiary pollen at her victims, which caused a severe burning sensation on their skin. After some Putties that she summoned were defeated, she tried to run into the city from the Park but the Power Rangers cut her off and forced her to fight. Now cornered, Bloom of Doom sprayed them with her pollen and, although Kimberly and Trini got clear, the boys were completely disabled by the irritating pollen and the girls had to fight alone.

Kimberly then used a specially designed ribbon to restrain Bloom of Doom and electrocuted her. However, Bloom of Doom was accidentally freed when Trini tried to hit the monster with her Blade Blaster but cut the ribbon instead. Trying to rectify the situation, Trini attempted to stab the monster but she just teleported away from the battle. Kimberly then appears to try to use another ribbon on the monster only for her to be ready this time and throw her to the ground with it. Bloom of Doom then used her abilities on Kimberly and teleported her to another dimension, by simply staring in her eyes. Bloom of Doom gloated about her eminent victory since Kimberly had driven all of her friends away and Kimberly remained steadfast but Bloom of Doom trapped her with her tentacles and sent an electric shock through them which knocked her down. Luckily, Trini freed her friend from Bloom of Doom by throwing her Power Daggers at a 90-degree trajectory course which knocked the monster and Kimberly out of the dimension. Additionally, Kimberly was now freed from the spell because being broken out of the dimension somehow made the effects of Zedd's potion wear off. After reconciling with Trini, they teamed up to pummel the monster with Trini jump kicking the monster back before Kimberly used the Power Bow on the monster by shooting three arrows. When the boys showed up, Bloom of Doom recovered and decided to use her pollen to finish them all off. However, the Rangers could not afford give her a chance to do this so they combined their Power Weapons and finished her with the Power Blaster.

Personality

Bloom of Doom was spiteful, as she tormented Kimberly in her dimension. Bloom of Doom is also psychopathic since she will go from speaking calmly to screaming at her foes. However, she underestimated the power of Kimberly's friendship with Trini and the other Rangers as they took her down.

Notes

  • Bloom of Doom comes from what is commonly referred to as Zyu2 footage, and was not seen in the original Zyuranger.
  • For many years, there was rumored to be missing footage of a Zord battle that included Lokar, but recently released footage uploaded by Jeff Pruitt revealed this to be a myth. The cut Zord battle consisted solely of Bloom of Doom facing off against the original Megazord and Dragonzord, before being destroyed by the Power Sword.
  • A recolored and de-petaled version of Bloom of Doom was later seen in "Fire in Your Tank" as one of the monsters in Divatox's boot camp/monster tryouts. It was nicknamed "Debloom" by fans.
  • Back in early 2003, shortly after the series changed hands from Saban Entertainment to Disney, some of the monster costumes, including Bloom of Doom's depetaled appearance, were auctioned off by ABC Auctions. It sold for $214.50.
