Opening Credits

Source Description Edit Note
BOUKEN #31.

Pan left across the forrested mountains of the horizon onto Mig, arms raised and talking. As he continues talking, he observes Benglo in the valley below, marking a circle in the dirt with his sword. Upon completing it, Benglo raises his weapon up, nods to Mig on the left, then gestures his hand, causing where he drew in the dirt to glow purple into a large energy seal.

Cropped; transitions in.

BOUKEN #31.

Zoom out from Benglo's device as the indicator screen shows heat signatures.

Cropped; shortened.

BOUKEN #31.

In the woods near a stone altar, the Fearcats slowly walk forth, Mig doing much of the talking, raising arms, then gesturing his right arm forth as he progresses onward.

Cropped; cuts prior shots of each Fearcat turning heads sharply.

Excalibur morphs into Sentinel Knight's robotic Super Mode.

Pink assists Mercury in getting up and in dramatic slow motion, the pair begin to leap to our right as a laser bolt causes a dirt burst beside them. Both Rangers soon fall downward into the wooded unknown.

Cropped; prior sequence of two Rangers fighting Mig US/NZ replaced for whatever reasons; cuts follow-up of Mig talking to himself; final shot ends with an unremarkable wipe cut.

BOUKEN #31.

Benglo lowers his scanning device, then crouches down and wipes off the dirt from a metal plate, which he then talks over, before motioning his hand and while standing up, the dirt clears off the metal lid, which then flies off and brownish liquid sprays skyward (Divorced of the plot, it appears to me he found the sewer.)

Cropped; trims start

Spark bursting briefly, Pink is flung by the blasts off the side of a cliff, falling harshly onto the ground below. She quickly recovers, smoking but alert, looking upward at Mig.

Cropped; prior sequence of Pink vs Mig US/NZ replaced for whatever overly-sensitive Disney censor reason; US/NZ replaces follow-ups for similar reasons (such as changing Mig from aiming right at the camera, for aiming slightly away, etc).

Pink flies straight up and fires her Drive Defender at Mig, who spark bursts while a massive fireball erupts behind him.

Cropped; cuts additional flying up shot between shots 1 & 2; cuts final shot before an additional explosion erupts in front of Mig.

BOUKEN #31.

Pink flips over the camera, and lands, as Mig rolls defeatedly across the field. Pink prepares to finish him, when suddenly she sees the Fearcats' Third Robot rise up! Inside, Benglo, with the Centurion Torch blazing in the cockpit, talks and pilots the Robot. Pink gawks, Mig talks and glances forth. Benglo responds, causing the Robot to land on the same plateau as Mig and Pink Ranger. There, the Fearcats' Robot III raises its right leg, begins to step down upon Pink, only for Red to step into frame and block the giant robot's sole with Excalibur! As a golden light shimmers, Red keeps the giant foot at bay while Mig watches from the background.

BOUKEN #31.

The control display shows a Warning over the DriveMax Ultrazord, Blue looks to Pink, Yellow talks before so does Black, and finally Red gets a quick focus. Pink stays in command, focused straight forward, gripping the gear, she shouts something as the shot zooms out to show the Ultrazord amid the flames, almost vibrating in midair.
