✨Lord Kiya, Leader of Jakanja✨

Purple fabric made by his sister Kairi and since she’s dead he honors her when fusing it with his suit

[kuntykoragg]

it is more than possible and entirely likely that a man (sensei/kanoi) can be a great and respectable mentor to a small group of power rangers consisting of ninjas (the wind and thunder rangers) and a samurai who happens to also be his first son (cam/kazumi) that he has a good father-son relationship with-

while also being a mediocre-at-his-best-but-typically-not-great father to his dangerously creative second/youngest son (rowan/kurumi) that he (sensei) is constantly arguing and butting heads with, that he can never see eye to eye or communicate clearly with, that he can't help but see aspects of both his dead wife (miko) and evil brother (lothor/kiya) in, that he has a hard time looking at because he is always torn between feelings of confused guilt and wary displeasure, that he ends up losing presumably never to be seen again when an argument goes too far because he forgot that his son was not an adult already set on a dangerous path but rather just a curious teenager who would naturally challenge restrictions and authority

If Power Rangers had a reality show, say where the characters each get eliminated after each episode like The Bachelorette or Big Brother which characters would you like to see in it? Putting them all against each other☠️☠️☠️

Can also choose villains and comic characters as well if you want, poisandra is off-limits since she'd be the narrator of the show and host of the reunion episodes😭🩷

....Considering I come from the generation where "reality" shows were proven to be ineffectual and false in every manner, I don't have any kind of fondness for them, like, AT ALL. But--and these is a BIG but--with a certain level of integrity and consideration, I could be inclined to cluster about some Rangers and their collective in an experimental setting. COMIC CENTRIC ONLY, because there is more to work with.

[iit-s-kitty]

As a kid, learning Cam was Lothor's nephew in A Samurai's Journey was a shocker. Now it is fucking obvious they're related— only the Watanabe's would have that sheer amount of saltiness and sass

Ok but Lothor is one of the best Big Bads in all of Power Rangers.

He literally had the most cutthroat plan to make sure all his generals and monsters got murked by the Rangers so they would overload the Abyss of Evil and he was still cracking A+ jokes in every scene

[erniesbrainfreeze]

underrated power rangers meme day eight → an underrated villian

[regaliasonata]

Was lore planning and I think it's official....Lothor is the Xehanort of the Ninja Storm AU, if that even makes sense 😭😭😭😭

Having fun planning is all I'll leave it at✨️✨️✨️

[regaliasonata]

Question

So Kiya gave himself the name Lothor, after an ancient dark warrior and following that he became a powerful force within the universe. Though this makes me wonder…who the hell was the original Lothor and what’s his story? Personally I think he had the treatment of be demon walking on earth, maybe was a terror that got sealed away. My theory is with all the evil that was unleashed during the real Lothor’s reign he became a vengeful spirit or demon after death.

Would’ve been cool to see something like this in Ninja Storm or even Ninja Steel if that season was made properly….Madame Odius and Lothor working together

[regaliasonata]

AU Kiya’s outfit wip. Fusing his Lothor scheme with some ideas

[regaliasonata]

A random thought came into my mind, so some people think Lothor might be like one of the queer coded characters in Ninja Storm and I didn’t see it at first but then I realized something…the Wind Academy did not have any female students when he attend with his brother Sensei Kanoi.

Sooooo….guess we could probably assume some activity was going around, idkkkk possibly. Who’s to say he didn’t date some person here🤷🏾‍♂️

[regaliasonata]

Still wished the show gave more insight on Lothor, like what exactly made him evil and such. Felt like that could've been explored via the samurai episodes but oh well...that's what AUs are for✏️

[regaliasonata]

Ninja Storm AU lore dump

Marah and Kapri's parents, Kairi and Gasharioto

Psst @lordkingsmith @skyland2703 @ninjastormz made more on this 👌🏾

(Temporary images to get some idea before I draw their designs, Gasharioto is based both on Gasha Jr from Kakuranger and Rito from mmpr with a little of Skull mixed in)

Anyways, Kairi was adopted when Kiya and Kanoi were four years old. Their parents were on a retrieval mission stationed in New Zealand due to a hidden town being destroyed mysteriously and in the remnants of a few relics they found an infant no older than two years old, black and pinkish hair.

The parents never were able to have a third child so they decided to adopt the infant and named her Kairi. Both Kiya and Kanoi cared for her very much, Kiya seemed to have a better bond with her considering his negative upbringing and drifting away from his twin brother. Kairi was described as a very adventurous person as she would stay up for many nights looking to the stars and wondering about “other worlds” as she saw something that the others didn’t, her teen years consisted of a little rebel phase and enjoying rock music.

One night when she was twenty three a flash from the sky shot down and a man in spatial clothes with a rebellious style appeared and fled the scene. Without any notice Kairi went on to wonder what happened to that mysterious individual but flash forward a few months later she met the man during a small rock shoe and the two hit it off with a marriage? He went by Gash for short and soon after a few dates the two were obsessed with each other, Gash revealed himself to be a karmanian which from the show are being of energy who pass their powers onto another being when they pass on.

As to why this man from the stars arrived on earth stayed unknown for a while but ignoring his purpose he took Kairi on a honeymoon trip to enjoy music and see the stars, due to going without notice everyone assumed Kairi up and dissapeared for a year causing a grave panic for Kiya and Kanoi. She returned from space with Gash and with her were two twin infants, Marah and Kapri, of course her brothers were skeptical as they were unaware of the marriage nor did they know about the space antics and origin behind Gash, Kiya was quite untrustworthy of Gash but hey what are you going to do?

1989, the twins are now five and Gash is starting to act weird, something or someone has been making the karmanian feel on edge and Kairi can sense this. The couple has been living on their own for a while and also overseeing Marah and Kapri as they went to attend ninja school, on one tragic night another light fell from the sky causing Gash to get Kairi and flee, though it was too late as whatever caught up with Gash from his past managed to not only to torch their house but ended up killing Kairi before going after Gash.

Marah and Kapri were staying other at the Watanabe estate with their cousin and uncles(Miko as well) when the news was shared about their mother’s passing, Gash wasn’t found and presumed dead as well. Outside of the family being heartbroken, it’s also rather tragic as the year after Miko Watanabe would pass way from a sickness. With the loss of their parents Marah and Kapri tended to act out on their own and usually tried keeping to themselves, gaining quite a reputation within school of being semi troublemakers, Kiya seemed to be very attentive to them throughout it as he could relate in being a problem child within the family. Gash’s true form is very human like but the aura he emits with Ki turns into a rockstar like suit as it reflects his own persona, he hid it while on earth due to how strong it was but Marah and Kapri also have this trait with being half karmanian hence why their true forms consists of those serpent and insect related outfits.

The Karmanians and the lore I’ve created for their species will come in later story wise but this is all to explain a bit of the background between the sisters and family stuff. This was a bit sad but I have lots of cool stuff planned for them when I get further into the AU 🩷🧡🩷🧡

[augment-techs]

Wondering what gay rare pairings do you have for PR, wanted to see if there was some I had in common👀?

Might write some one shots of them!

Oh what a lovely jar of worms to open up. As far as I'm concerned ALL of the PR characters are queer, but let's see what I can actually put down that has standing in any capacity.

[regaliasonata]

Finally made a family tree for the full Watanabe Family in the Ninja Storm AU, it's divided into two families with one being shinobi based while the other is samurai based. Also added a few original characters and such

More lore below

All I'd say is that if Thanksgiving happened it'd be utter chaos...

Some who married in kept their names but there are others such as Himeno who took up the Watanabe title or are known only via their married surnames.

Some stuff

-Marah and Kapri are half Karmanian via their father, the show never established their relations really. Karmanians are aliens from the show but I'm elaborating more on them(will make a lore post about them). Their physiology overlaps organic ones so the sisters, while having a mother, are barely related to her. Kairi Watanabe was adopted when Kiya and Kanoi were around four years old.

-Mia and Terry are third cousins once removed via Cam, born around the same time as he was(let's joke around about how some could see him as their nephew). Their mother is Mia's Shinkenger counterpart via this AU.

-While both families exist Cam and the sisters are pretty much unaware of the main one due to specific reasons.

More lore planning coming in the future
