Shell Shocked is the fourth episode of Power Rangers In Space. It is a crossover with Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation.

Synopsis

In order to destroy the Space Rangers, Astronema uses her powers to brainwash another similar team of teen heroes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. With them under her power, the Turtles con the Rangers into letting them on the Astro Megaship, so they can take it over for her.

All goes according to plan, until the Rangers escape and the Megaship hits an electric storm. The shock causes the Turtles to break free of Astronema's spell and expel her from the ship. The Rangers return to assist, and plan to return the Turtles back to New York. However, they have one tiny little request - Galaxy Gliding in space!

Notes

  • This is the second crossover with another series, the first being in the third season of Mighty Morphin' with Masked Rider, both made by Saban.
  • The Ninja Turtles costumes are the costumes used in Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. They also include Venus de Milo who is in that series.
  • This episode marks the rest of the Rangers' Black, Blue, Yellow & Pink Galaxy Gliders.
  • Due to The Next Mutation being filmed in Canada while Power Rangers is filmed in California, the Turtles are portrayed by different suit and voice actors in this episode to those from their own show.
  • The Turtles exhibit the ability to reflect and bounce around an energy ball thrown by an enemy. This ability is usually for Venus de Milo, but not seen by the other male turtles in Next Mutation. Splinter displays such an ability in the anime OVA of Ninja Turtles, so this appearance implies that the male turtles were taught how to do this.
  • This makes for the first time that the Power Rangers were referred to as comic book characters with it happening again in Ninja Storm's "Prelude to a Storm" by Tori Hanson.
  • This episode picked up where "Save our Ship" left off.
  • Fans have considered this episode (and, by extension, the final scene of the previous episode) to be non-canon, particularly due to the negative attitude towards The Next Mutation.
  • This marks the last time to date that a team of Power Rangers has allied with someone from a different television show.

Errors

  • When Astronema tries to cover Leonardo's mouth to make him stop talking, she covers his beak instead.
  • Some how Ecliptor wasn't with Astronema.
