Power Rangers Jungle Fury/Awesome
- Casey's first morph taking out Mooks just doing the morphing pose.
- R.J.'s unique method of driving home the importance of teamwork... By breaking the stool Theo was sitting on, sending him sprawling to the floor. "The team is a stool. What happens when all the legs aren't equal?"
- Or maybe it's beating up Casey and Lily while blindfolded. Either way, he's got the "badass" part of Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass down to a science.
- In "Friends Don't Fade Away", Fran (a ditzy but sweet bookworm who was the team's comic relief for the year) is attacked by RJ in his wild, werewolf form. Despite the fact she has no powers, and RJ was this year's resident badass who could've easily killed her, Fran stands her ground, doesn't run away, and talks RJ down.
"You wouldn't hurt a fly, RJ. And you will not hurt me."
- What makes this even more awesome is that when RJ does attack her, Fran cures him of his lycanthropy through the sheer power of her friendship. Fran was absolutely this year's Ensemble Darkhorse, and this was the reason why. She was just a wonderful character.
- In the episode "One Master Too Many", R.J.'s father Master Finn takes on the Big Bad (a fellow called Dai Shi, who has stomped all over everyone for the last ten episodes without slowing down), and is quickly defeated. Dai Shi moves in to finish the fight, when R.J. -- kooky, unusual and offbeat R.J. -- steps between them. Finn warns his son, "He's strong R.J." R.J. stands up, turns to Dai Shi, narrows his eyes and mutters, "So am I." Cue epic beatdown as R.J. beats the so-far-unstoppable supervillain in unmorphed hand-to-hand combat, and kicks Dai Shi's ass into next week. It wasn't R.J.'s only moment of pure unstoppable badass, but lord almighty it was fun to watch.
- And then there Master Finn's intro, coming out of nowhere Dual-Wielding swords and making his way past a lot of Mooks, and to top it off using the power of his animal spirit to destroy the twister the Monster of the Week was creating. Major awesomeness.
- The way Camille took out Naja.
- The entire fight scene in "One Last Second Chance".
- Master Phant: Get away from my student!
- Jarrod breaking free of Dai Shi temporarily and fighting three monsters to save Camille. Casey sees this...
- ...which leads to his Crowning Moment of Awesome in the next-to-last episode of the series ("Path of the Righteous"), when he does an Unflinching Walk through a herd of Mooks up to the front doors of Dai Shi's temple and trashes the entire lot of them in a textbook version of Tranquil Fury. Oh, yes... he does this unmorphed. No Power Ranger -- not even Tommy Oliver -- has ever done anything that Badass.
- Then, after fighting Jarrod/Dai Shi to a stalemate, Casey demorphs, turns his back, and dares Jarrod/Dai Shi to kill him -- and that is when Jarrod breaks free of Dai Shi.
- Another beautiful moment from that episode -- to redeem Jarrod, Casey plans to simply talk to him, recognizing that Jarrod was just lonely, and that the Rangers should've tried harder to reach him rather than act surprised when his feelings of isolation caused him to snap. Master Mao tells Casey that he's wasting his time, and Casey basically tells him, "Screw you, you're wrong, now get out of my way while I go and do what we all should've done in the first place."
- The best part is that this is how Casey earns his master's stripe, by telling every master that came before him that they can go f**k themselves.
