Snip It, Snip It Good is the ninth episode of Power Rangers Ninja Storm.

Synopsis[]

Having proven herself worthy after a training test, Tori goes on a quest to retrieve the Turtle Mace Power Sphere solo. Shane & Dustin guard a local Environmental Conference, which becomes Lothor's latest target when he sends down the Snipster monster to ensure nobody agrees on anything.

Plot[]

Tori is sent on a quest to retrieve the Turtle Mace Power Sphere.

Dustin and Shane are attacked by Kelzaks as they watch over an environmental conference. Snipster attacks the conference and uses his powers to make everyone fight each other. When Shane and Dustin attack him, he uses his powers again to make the Rangers fight each other.

After finding the turtle, Tori is attacked by Marah and Kapri.

After being freed by Sensei's telepathy, Dustin and Shane destroy Snipster.

When Tori, Marah, and Kapri fight to a standstill, Tori cuts a deal - the turtle for some designer duds, much to Lothor's anger.

Snipster is revived by Lothor and turned into a giant. The Rangers defeat Snipster with the Storm Megazord and their new weapon, the Turtle Mace.

Lothor punishes his nieces for giving up the turtle to Tori by having them wash the Kelzaks' outfits, and when Marah points that it didn't really matter as the Kelzaks will be destroyed by the Rangers anyway, Lothor makes them to clean the Ship's walls as well, much to their dismay.

Errors[]

When Marah attacks with two stings that come out of their hands, it can be seen that the gloves they wear change color from dark brown to light brown. This is because they use the Japanese footage of the character Frabeejo.
When Kapri has the stone turtle in her hands after defeating Tori, she also has a cloth bag that throws it but in the next scene the viewers can see that she has the bag in her hands next to the turtle.
At roughly 15:47, Katrina Browne's (Kapri) stunt double is briefly visible.
When Tori uses the slashes at Kapri, The viewers can briefly see Wendine's face.

Notes[]

Jorgito Vargas, Jr (Blake) and Adam Tuominen (Hunter) do not appear in this episode.
- This is also the third and final Ninja Storm episode where Blake and Hunter do not appear.
This episode was delayed from its original air date due to then-recent outbreak of the Iraq War as it was felt that the original plot concerning a peace conference to try and avert a war was inappropriate. The show did finally air later with the peace conference substituted for an environmental conference.
- Despite the later airdate, this episode maintained its place in continuity as it showed Tori attempting to gain control of the already-seen Turtle Mace and Blake and Hunter have yet to return to Blue Bay Harbor.
- At the beginning when Shane is saying that Tori will be great for the job his voice sounds dubbed in during ADR (possibly not by Pua Magasvia).
Footage of the conference in this episode would be reused in the Power Rangers RPM premiere, "The Road to Corinth", as part of the story of the Venjix Virus.
The episode's title is a pun based on a lyric from the song "Whip It" by Devo.
Power Sphere 03: Turtle Mace is introduced.
