Thunder Rangers

This article is about a set of Rangers in Power Rangers Ninja Storm.

The Thunder Rangers are a duo (Crimson and Navy) of Ninja Power Rangers originating from the Thunder Ninja Academy. They were, at first, convinced by Lothor that the Wind Rangers were the enemy. Thus, they served as the central antagonists of the three-parter "Thunder Strangers" and the four-parter "Return of Thunder". However, when they learned the truth, they joined with the Wind Rangers and Green Samurai Ranger as the Ninja Rangers.

Team History

Hunter and Blake were trained and raised by Sensei Omino at the Thunder Ninja Academy. They were young boys whose adoptive parents were murdered. They were captured by Lothor and Lothor lied to Blake and Hunter about their parents' deaths in order to gain their allegiance. The Thunder Ninjas soon believed the Wind Ninjas are responsible for their adoptive parents' death. The brothers worked in conjunction with Lothor in order to destroy the Wind Rangers and their Sensei whom they believed to be their parents' murderer. Before they were about to destroy Sensei Watanabe, their parents appeared in the Cavern of Lost Ninjas and told the brothers the truth about their deaths and who was truly responsible. After realizing the truth, the brothers departed in order to clear their heads and seek revenge on Lothor. Unfortunately, the feat proved to be too much for the two Thunder Ninjas alone and after falling into a trap set up by Choobo. The Thunder Ninjas believed the Wind Rangers were their enemies once again. Tori, Dustin, and Shane manage to help break the grip Choobo has on the Thunder Rangers and finally, the brothers realize that they must team up with the Wind Rangers in order to form a stronger team to defeat Lothor's forces.
