"Yesss. (...) Rinshi, let's go."
―Mantor's first words as a Rinshi Beast after being transformed and when deploying with the Rinshi.[src]

"Now for some real destruction!"
―Mantor's first words in his monster form.[src]

"You think you have destroyed me? (...) I'll show you what real power is. I'm gathering people's fear and it makes me stronger. It makes me grow!"
―Mantor to the Rangers after he survived and gather enough fear to grow giant for the first time.[src]

Mantor is the first Rinshi chosen by Dai Shi to fight the Jungle Fury Rangers. As his name applies, he has the spirit of the mantis. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Welcome to the Jungle".

History[]

Mantor was the first Rinshi chosen by Dai Shi to fight the Rangers. Dai Shi gave him the power of the mantis and sent him with an army of Rinshi soldiers to destroy Ocean Bluff.

In the first battle with the Rangers, Mantor easily used his explosive ground slam to knock down Theo and Casey. Lily then showed up but was just as easily overpowered. But RJ appeared who defeated all of the Rinshi and forced Mantor back to his Rinshi Beast form who then retreated.

Then Mantor returned, and now he fought with Casey. The Red Ranger used his power and defeated the monster. But Mantor used the fear he absorbed to enlarge himself. He wanted to destroy the Rangers, but Master Mao defeated him and threw him out of the city.

Dai Shi gave Mantor one last chance to destroy the Rangers and the city and Camille gave him a new power boost.

Mantor returned to the city and enlarged himself. Now he destroyed the dam of the city and went to smash the city. In the final battle with the Rangers, Mantor was finally destroyed by the Jungle Pride Megazord Spin Attack. Tvicon TV STORY-Welcome to the Jungle

Personality[]

Mantor is a cold and cunning Rinshi. He is very nasty, destructive, mean, hypocritical, sinister, villainous and power hungry. He is also arrogant, stubborn, treacherous, confident and will never stop at his goals. Mantor is a coward who fights only when he knows he'll win. When he knows the opponent is stronger, he runs away. Despite his arrogant and confident personality, Mantor has shown to be very evil as he wants to finish his evil goals. But he is also very loyal to Dai Shi and Camille.

  • Monster Transformation: Mantor can transform into his monster form at will.

Abilities[]

  • Strength: Whilst his strength was not shown outside of his monster forms, Mantor is presumably much stronger than he was as a normal Rinshi.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Enlarging: Mantor can enlarge himself using the fear he absorbed.

Abilities[]

  • Superhuman Strength: Mantor has great physical strength and is powerful enough to easily fight off the unmorphed Jungle Fury Rangers. Whilst fighting an unmorphed Lily, he was easily able to toss her from quite a distance to land with her downed friends.
  • Durability: Despite just being the first monster of Jungle Fury, Mantor has extremely thick skin that allows him to take powerful hits from the Rangers and mentors without being harmed. Using his explosive slam on the Rangers caused a massive explosion in front of and around him without making him react at all. Being made to explode by some kind of energy pulse from RJ merely made him explode and revert back to his Rinshi Beast form.
  • Martial Arts: Mantor is very good at martial arts as he was easily able to overpower Lily during their battle.

Weaknesses[]

Arsenal[]

  • Mantis Scythe Arms: Being a mantis-like beast, Mantor possesses scythe-like arms for combat.
    • Explosive Slam: Mantor can slam his scythe arm into the ground with enough force to make the area explode in front of him. This is probably his strongest attack due to both the nature of his move and also because it sent Theo and Casey flying across the area.
    • Energy Slashes: Mantor can also launch white energy slashes from his scythe arms.

Notes[]

  • A flashback of Mantor's defeat at the hands of Casey in "Welcome to the Jungle: Part 2" would appear when Casey returned in the Super Megaforce episode "Spirit of the Tiger", when he revealed that he was the Jungle Fury Red Ranger to Super Mega Rangers Jake and Emma.
  • Mantor is very similar to Blue Face, a monster from Power Rangers Ninja Storm:
    • Both monsters are mantis-themed.
    • Both are the first monsters to be fought by the Rangers.
  • Mantor's design bears a strong resemblance to Imperious' Ancient Mystic Mode, and the Super Zeo Megazord in Power Rangers Zeo.
  • Unlike almost every other monster in the franchise, Mantor is unable to teleport as a monster or Rinshi Beast. He escaped on foot after being defeated by RJ and fought to the death during the 2nd battle.
  • Mantor is the first monster that single handily fought Casey.

Appearances[]
