Icon-shinkengerThis article is about an episode/special in Power Rangers Samurai.

Party Monsters is the twenty-first episode of Power Rangers Samurai, co-written by Amit Bhaumik. The episode is notable for being a "Clip Show" and "Halloween Special". The episode features an original storyline, not based on any episode on Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, focused on the monsters destroyed by the Samurai Rangers. Despite its original story, Yasuko Kobayashi (the head writer of Shinkenger) is still credited among the writers for the episode.

Synopsis[]

In the Nighlok afterlife, the defeated Nighlok Monsters hold a Halloween party and recap their battles with their Rangers to each other.

Plot[]

In the Nighlok Heaven, a Nighlok knocks on the door and gives the password. He is greeted in the Spookeasy Club and their Halloween Party. The Nighloks are having a party and wishing each other Happy Halloween. Negatron is bummed that they are all ghosts. They decide to share each of their stories against the Rangers. Madimot is the first one to reveal his story.

At the Sanzu River, Master Xandred is depressed from his failures.

Back at the Party, the Nighloks continue their party. Dreadhead shows off his Red Ranger pumpkin followed by his story. Antberry shares his story against the Blue and Gold Rangers. Yamiror goes next with his story.

Back at the Sanzu River, Octoroo and Dayu try to cheer up Master Xandred.

The stories continue with Desperaino and Rofer. Negatron gets his chance to share his story. Moogers join the party with their own costumes. One of the Moogers is dressed as the Samurai Megazord. Steeleto and Vulpes share their stories. The Sanzu River punch bowl is now emptied. Splitface shares his story of his Mega fight.

Dreadhead talks about his battle against the Beetle Cannon. Rhinosnorus shares his brief story about exploding behind the Blue Ranger. Tooya shares his story against the Red Ranger. The Nighloks reveal how they were defeated.

The party ends before Master Xandred can pay a visit. Octoroo states that the party was for those in the Nighlok obituary only.

Cast[]

Errors[]

  • Despite "Broken Dreams" including a battle against Spitfangs, none can be seen at the party.
  • Only Splitface recaps his giant battle, making it look like they end up in Nighlok Heaven after being destroyed in their first life. What's more is that Desperaino says that Mike's symbol power sent him all the way to the afterlife even though he grew giant first.
  • Vulpes narrates his death, but he's nowhere to be seen at the afterlife.
  • Octoroo said in "Test of the Leader" that even other Nighlok are afraid of Robtish, yet none of the other Nighlok seem to be afraid of him here.
  • Tooya walks in with his blades but then they disappear.
  • Xandred says that he is wearing a ninja costume, but he's only seen wearing a bandanna
  • During one of Xandred's rage fits, Dayu says "Careful or I’ll lose my candy over the floor." However, there is no candy seen.
  • Madimot stated while narrating his death that he was only destroyed by three Rangers. In "I've Got a Spell on Blue", Kevin attacked him as well, so four Rangers actually destroyed him.
  • Madimot's voice is slightly different in this episode.
  • The sound effect of Master Xandred's bowl smashing, is slightly out of sync with the audio.
  • When Master Xandred grabs a Furry Wart, the bandanna on his head is missing.
  • The audio of Mike teasing Rofer is his backstory, is mysteriously muted.
  • The subtitles in this episode, are either slightly off, or don't include what monsters are fully saying.
  • During Negatron's backstory the audio is severely off.
  • The clip of the Mooger giving Negatron and Splitface the worms is used twice.
  • This episode creates a continuity problem with Dayu, who was shown to leave after Master Xandred damaged her harmonium (which can be seen intact in this episode). Although it could be said this episode takes place before these events, this cannot be either as Rhinosnorus is seen amongst the party's guests (this monster was destroyed after Dayu's departure).
  • Master Xandred says the Sanzu River has not risen an inch when past episodes did indeed reveal that despite the failures of Nighloks their actions were indeed making the river rise.
  • Rhinosnorus is missing his mist blower.

Notes[]

  • None of the Rangers appear in this episode outside of archive footage.
  • Right when the Nighlok comment on every time they were defeated, they comment on a Super Sentai quirk where the heroes defeats the monsters, and the heroes turn and pose when the monsters explode.
  • While there have been many clip shows in the past, this is the first episode where the monsters, in this case the defeated ones, recall the events of the past rather than the rangers themselves.
  • Many of the same actors who originally played the Nighloks in their respective episodes reprise their roles for this episode, a rarity in Power Rangers as usually when monsters reappear in later episodes they are played by different actors.
  • This has no counterpart In Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, but the footage from the Sanzu River scenes come from Shinkenger Act 13.
  • The monster continue to talk about the Rangers after they defeat them, breaking the fourth wall.
