HURRI #22.

Green Samurai Ranger inserts his Samurai Saber into the cockpit control, sits down, then talks with a raising of a fist. He grips the control stick and Samurai Star Chopper's boosters ignite. The Chopper flies faster across the CGI landscape, then Green Samurai nod-talks and presses a button, firing bolts of energy at Madtropolis, bursting around him. He steps out of the smoke and fires handbolts into the air, missing the Chopper, which flies away effortlessly.

Green energy effects added to shots 8 to 10 to make the bolts less missiley and more lasery, I guess.

HURRI #22.

Green Samurai points and talks, as he flies straight at Madtropolis, who fires again, missing as the Samurai Star Chopper tilts to the left, its propeller cutting into the ground sparkily and dustily. It flies toward the monster, causing the ground around him to fracture and for him to sink into the Earth.

HURRI #22.

Gripping a Power Disc, Green Samurai puts it into the slot and turns the lever. Samurai Star Megazord materializes Power Sphere 10 between its arms, then releases it, as the Bee Spinner pops out from within. Samurai Star Megazord yanks the cord, spinning Bee Spinner sparkily at Madtropolis, who crackles then explodes from within.

Cuts prior cockpit shot; final shot is censored, the bloodish bits and guts colored out.

HURRI #22.

Samurai Star Megazord lands on the ground, then Green Samurai Ranger leaps out from the top.
