Doubletone was a manipulative tiger/seaweed Nighlok who served as the main antagonist of the episode "Deal With a Nighlok."
History[]
Doubletone is one of the most devious and cruel Nighlok; being a skilled liar who offers to help people fulfill their dreams in exchange for their most valuable things.
Just like all other Nighloks, he serves his master, Master Xandred, who spots him bathing in the Sanzu River one day and sends him to gather human fear using his manipulative abilities. Octoroo mentions that that Doubletone has a bad reputation and he can break the hearts of people.
Doubletone went to the human world to Panorama City and makes a false deal with a young boy named Ryan with a false promise of seeing his father again who has been fighting in a war for a long time in exchange for leaving his favorite baseball.
Later, he returns to Xandred's Junk and is abused by Dayu, who considered him useless.
He soon returns to the surface world to finish his deal with Ryan. However, Kevin and Mia have found out his plan and stop him so Doubletone summons a powerful tsunami of water and air and arms himself with a bamboo spear. Before he can finish them off however, the other Samurai Rangers arrive and overwhelm him, prompting him to summon Moogers but they are swiftly destroyed and the combined Hydro Bow and Sky Fan attack does him in despite unleashing his strongest attack.
Doubletone grows into a Mega Monster so Kevin and Mia deploy in the Dragon and Turtle FoldingZords and knock him out before they form the Samurai Megazord. They fight but Doubletone disarms the Megazord quickly until Kevin takes it to the air, where they disarm him with the Aerial Turtle Strike, which allows them to reclaim the Samurai Megazord's katana. They then destroy Doubletone with the Samurai Strike despite the monster trying to object, making him fall onto his back and explode. TV STORY-Deal With a Nighlok
Doubletone later appears at a Halloween party at the Nighlok Heaven to recount his battles with the Samurai Rangers. He compliments the Mooger trick or treaters' costumes. Later, he proposes that the Nighloks haunt the Rangers, making a spooky noise. After the night is over, Doubletone bids the other dead Nighlok goodbye until the next year and fades away.

Personality[]
Doubletone was a nasty, spiteful, and unsympathetic Nighlok but was also laid back and disturbing in personality. He was a cunning, skilled, and deceptive liar and manipulator as he promised to help people fulfill their dreams in exchange for their most valuable possessions. He made a deal with Ryan and promised the boy a chance to see his father, but actually lied and wanted to take away his favorite thing - baseball. However he is also cowardly and feared the Power Rangers as an example when they ruined his plan and he tried to reason with the heroes but they refused to listen and destroyed him because they knew he could not be trusted.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Tiger Tidal Wave: Doubletone's signature attack where he launches a tidal wave from the tiger part on the right side of his body and a wave of Sanzu River from the left side of his body, both at the same time.
- Super Tsunami: Doubletone's strongest move which is essentially a stronger version of the Tiger Tidal Wave where he would fire Sanzu River and the Tiger Tidal Wave attack simultaneously to slam into and wipe out his enemies. However, the amount of damage this would do is unclear because the combined attack from Mia and Kevin took down Doubletone and destroyed this attack.
- Tiger Fog Breath: From the tiger part on the right side of his body, Doubletone could release a fog from the tiger head.
- Reviving: Just like all other Nighlok, Doubletone could revive himself after his death.
- Enlarging: Just like all other Nighlok, Doubletone was also able to make himself grow after his death, turning into a Mega Monster.
