The Jungle Fury Power Rangers Red, Yellow, Blue, Wolf, Rhino, Elephant, Bat, and Shark
The Jungle Fury Power Rangers are the eponymous protagonists of the 2008 Power Rangers television series Power Rangers Jungle Fury. After becoming members of the Pai Zhua (Template:Zh, Pài Zhuǎ) and learning martial arts under the guidance of Master Mao, Casey, Lily, and Theo fight Dai Shi and his disciples the Rinshi Beasts.[1]
Casey Rhodes[]
Casey Rhodes (portrayed by Jason Smith) Casey was a fairly new member to the Pai Zhua Academy and hence known as a cub. He has the power to stand up for what he believes in and for others. He doesn't like him or any other people to get picked on. When Casey stood up one day for a fellow cub who is being verbally abused by Jarrod, Master Mao, leader of the Pai Zhua Academy, dismissed Jarrod. Master Mao saw the potential that Casey had in him and chose him instead of Jarrod, to guard Dai Shi's imprisonment box. After Master Mao was destroyed and Dai Shi escaped, the trio went to Ocean Bluff where they met their new master - [R.J.] - and give him the powers of the Jungle Fury Red Ranger. Casey still has doubts about himself because his teammates are much more experience than them and he felt like he had to train twice as hard. Casey is a nice, laid back guy who is very easy to get along with. At the pizza pallor Jungle Karma Pizza, he is a pro when it comes to making pizza. Casey now needs to find out what it takes to become a leader and lead his team. Sometimes Casey can be over confident especially when he tried to go up against Dai Shi alone, but he got himself hurt. After Lily and Theo had received new masters, Casey was eager to meet his new master, but R.J. was not because it is his father Master Finn. When Master Finn saved Casey from Rinshi, Casey became good friends with the master and mastered the shark technique. Casey eventually made up with R.J. that he will always be his master. When Dai Shi beat up the Rangers profusely in a big showdown and sequestered R.J., the Rangers were left Master-less. R.J. told them they knew what to do, which was to go back to basics, which led them back to the Pai Zhuq Academy room where Dai Shi was kept. The Rangers noticed the masters' animal spirits etched in the wall and wondered where the gorilla, penguin, and antelope masters. They were greeted once more by their fallen teacher Master Mao. He sent them to the Spirit World at Casey's urging to be trained by three fallen masters. They put them through tests, Master Rilla sent Casey to a dimension that resembled his old bedroom and had to face his childhood fear of a monster in his closet. Once he got it over it, he opened the door to find he had passed the test and granted the Claw Boosters, Jungle Master mode, and Gorilla animal spirit zord.
He was later able to summon the Shark Spirit Ranger whenever needed. Casey's tiger spirit was stolen by Whiger and he was unable to morph, because if he did, his life would be in danger. Casey was teaching a class of young students at the time and one of his students that was always being picked on, helped in giving more power against a foe. Whiger's Rinzin was taken by Dai Shi and banished for not defeating Casey. Casey help and befriended the weakened Whiger and Whiger assisted him in saving his friends. Whiger then faded away because his power was running out, but he didn't leave Casey's mind. When Casey battled Master Finn in a test for his Master Stripes, he didn't know what to do and followed what the others did and failed. He then saw Jarrod save Camille from danger and was convinced that Jarrod was still in Dai Shi, but no one else believed him. He fought Dai Shi in his palace and came back with Jarrod and Camille to join in battle, for this he earned his stripes. After the finale battle against Dai Shi, Casey was teaching a class in Phi Zhuq with Jarrod and Camille as students. . Casey's "Tiger Technique" is based on Hu Quan with an emphasis on strength and balance.
