They've got it all wrong.

Hello - secret identities. How are they

Conner, wait.

So this isn't exactly the most accurate
version of our jobs as Power Rangers.

- It is kinda fun.
- You haven't even given it a chance.

- Don't you want to see how it ends?
- It ends with me heading out that door,

going to the library and finishing

(Red Ranger) Mo cIue.

(Yellow Ranger) Who are you?

fBlue Ranger) It's Whacker Wilson.
The greedy American baseball player.

Hey!

You guys are good fighters.
See you again.

(Blue Ranger) Wait_
What are you doing here?

- Oh, my back is k*lling me.
- (all) _uh?

l heard the world's best chiropractor
lives here.

- You're right, he does.
- You're not here to play baseball?

How can l play baseball
when l can hardly move?

l have to find this chiropractor.
His name is Kenny Yukito.

Huh? That's him!

Hey!

fEthan) Come on, Conner, take a seat.

ls it really that good?

You'll never know
if you don't watch for yourself.

Shh.

(Blue Ranger) OK, iust reIax.

(chuckling) Ooh! Ooh!
That tickles.

l read that Whacker Wilson
makes five million a year!

Really? Five million?

Yup.

That's it. Hold still.
We're almost done.

fWhacker) Oh... careful, careful.

Do you think Kenny's right?
That Whacker only plays for the money?

l don't know.
He seems to really love baseball.

Just one last push and we're done.

- Ahh...
- All better.

Are you sure?

The magic is all in the wrist.

Man, are you cra y? What have you
gone and done to my back?

Before you speak another word,
test your back.

Oh... yeah.

Wow! You're a genius.

Oh, yeah!

Forget baseball. l'm gonna become
a ballroom dance champion!

Man. you're the bestt

You should be all set now.

Hey, you saved me.
Now l can play baseball again.

And l'm going to tell everyone
what a great chiropractor you are.

lmagine the incredible career
you can have.

You could be rich!

- Mm... l don't have time for that.
- You don't?

- No, l have a more important job.
- Like what?

l'm a Power Ranger!

- Is there good money in that?
- It doesn't pay a thing.

Huh?

Whoa. l don't get it.

Good to meet you, Whacker Wilson.
Enjoy your stay in Japan.

Don't get it.
Why would he do it for nothing?

l'm starting to see the moral here.

What? That Power Rangers
are doofuses?

No. That money isn't everything?
Have you not been paying attention?

- Hey!
- Come on, share.

l feel so much better now.
l can really enjoy my time here in Japan.

lt's beautiful!

- Excuse me!
- Yeah?

- Huh?
- No, no, don't be scared.

l just want your autograph,
Mr. Famous Baseball Star.

OK. No problem.

Have a mushroom!

American sports heroes are so gullible.

That's what you get
for having such a huge ego!

Time to get wiggy with it!
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

OK, it's bad enough
that they've made us look like fools,

but to make fun of our sports heroes?

Where is your pride?

l will not sit here
and let them get away with this!

Don't you think
you're overreacting just a little?

l mean, it's a TV show.

Yeah, but don't you see
what this represents?

This is what people think of us in Japan!

How can you say that?
This is one episode of one TV show.

And not even the whole episode.

Look, my suggestion is
you sit down and watch the rest of it.

lf you still don't like what you saw,
you can write the TV station,

the congressman,
the President, whatever.

Right now, l just want to see
if the Power Rangers

can help Whacker Wilson
Iearn the error of his ways.

- Now move.
- Move.

- fEthan) Finally.
- Thank you.

OK, l'll give it another chance.
Move over.

l was right about Whacker.
He'll never change.

Hey, back cr*cker!
Looky what l got!

- What?
- Big bulging bags of bucks.

l'm richer than ever! See?

- (laughs)
- l told you, that doesn't impress me.

But l wanna pay you for fixing my back.
How much do you want?

No, please.

How about $ O,OOO?

- Where'd you get that?
- Here!

ln the Home Run Derby.
l cheated like cra y.

Now l'm loaded!

t bribed the oµµosing µitcher. and he
tossed me big. fat marshmallows.

t hit them right out of the µark
and collected the big cash µri_e.

Oh. man!

Yiµµeet t'm richt

Keep your money.
You're worse than l thought.

No, take it. l insist.

Money is the only thing
that makes you happy. Take it!

Take it all!

- l don't want it!
- fgasµs) Ooh, my money!

Money, money!

Whacker...

Give my your milk money, little girl!
Give me your milk money!

- Drop the purse, or l'll sit on you!
- Get away!

- (bird squawking)
- What?

This is cra y. Even the birds
are obsessed with money.

Must be those bad wigs.

My money... my money...

- Whacker, you've gotta snap out of it!
- My money...

- Whacker! Stop!
- Excuse me!

fKa-Ching) Hey, butt out!

lt's time for change! Ha!

Aah! No!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
There's nothing you can do to stop me!

Soon the whole world
will be controlled by greed!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

fboth) Back off!

Are you OK? Hey, what are
you doing in a pile of coins?

l think l got it.

Yeah!
Whacker Wilson must have done it!

- fboth) And he's right there.
- Money...

lt wasn't Whacker, genius.
It was the monster.

We've gotta stop him!

Cool.

Listen, Rangers! l've had enough of
all your screaming and morphing hooey!

Once and for all
l'm going to destroy 'you!

- Whoa!
- Whoa!

Fight with me, Rangers,
and l'll make you rich, rich, rich!

(Blue Ranger)
Can you believe this guy?

He thinks he can buy us off.

How much money are we talking about?

- Huh?
- l mean... never!

- Hey...
- You had us worried.

Well, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Had you going, though, didn't l?
(taughs)

There you are.
l've been looking all over for you.

Whoa, boy!

Hey, guys, l think l have something
that might help. Grab one!

- It's the Black Ranger.
- fYellow Ranger) He's done ralphing!

fRed Ranger) Let's get this loser!

So you brought
some money banks, huh?

Well, let me help you fill them. Ha!

fRed Ranger) Try to catch the money!

Oh...

That's it!

lt's working!

Yeah!

Uh-oh. Mine's full.

Mine too.

(Red Ranger) And mine.

Ha-ha! Jackpot!

You lose!

(Red Ranger)
Now what are we gonna do?

Hey! Look at the money
Ka-Ching got me.

Huh?

- Join him and be rich!
- Whacker!

lf he really does love baseball more
than money, maybe we can save him.

Now batting, number one,
Whacker Wilson!

What?

Play ball!

Come on, Whacker!

Yes!

Oh, no! Aah!

(Blue Ranger) Grand sIam!

(yawns) I need a nap.

(snoring)

Huh?

Sweet dreams.

(clock chimes/cuckoos)

Wait a minute! Where am l?

You rotten little punks!

Aah!

The world is mine!
No one can stop me!

l think it's time we trash
the cash monster.

OK, it's on.

fPower Rangers) Z-Rex Blaster!

- (Kira) Oh...
- Yeah!

(Blue Ranger) Ready!

What?

- Aim!
- Fire!

Aah!

- (Yellow Ranger) We _oc_!
- fRed Ranger) We did it!

Yes! Whoo!

- l mean, it was kinda cool.
- See? We're not so different after all.

- Just a slightly different interpretation.
- Now aren't glad you stayed?

Yeah. l guess l am.

Hey, Hayley, l'm just gonna
be using a terminal.

Sure, help yourself.

This'll be perfect.

This is one ama_ing country.

Thank you so much
for everything you've taught me.

t was wrong.
You do love baseball more than money.

Goodbye and thank you.

You liked it so much
you had to catch the rerun?

Sorta.

''Japanese versus American culture:
Closer than we think.''

Yeah, that show gave me an idea
for my social studies assignment.

l compared how they see us
as to how we see ourselves.

Without getting too specific, l hope?

Please.

l admit, l was a little bit skeptical at first,
but then l really got into it.

See, their show was different,
but it was still cool.

Apart for one thing...
not enough Red Ranger.

You're just jealous
Blue Ranger saved the day.

What? Without Yellow Ranger, that
furry-faced freak never stood a chance.

Oh, come on.

Come on, it's on!
