Plot
All the Rangers are out enjoying a day at the shops, but Kevin feels wiped out. He believes his reactions at training are slow and weak. Mia suggests it might just be a cold. The Rangers all break into groups to visit different shops, Kevin goes to a shop alone looking for something to make him feel better, inside he asks the old man who gives him some tea. The next few days at practice Kevin is stronger and wins every battle. But soon he runs out of tea. The Gap Sensor rings so the Rangers morph then head to the park, Moogers are waiting and the battle is on. One problem the Blue Ranger is so weak he cannot fight, the Red Ranger protects him by defeating the Moogers. Just then the old man from the shop appears and congratulates the Red Ranger on working out why Kevin got so strong, then he vanishes. But then a Nighlok appears, his name is Power Drainer who says the tea Kevin was drinking is actually water from the Sanzu River. It makes you strong but if you stop drinking it you become as weak as a kitten. The Power Drainer knocks the Rangers to the ground, the Red Ranger spots that the Power Drainer is holding a bottle of water from the Sanzu River which is boosting his strength. Using his Spin Sword, the Red Ranger knocks it out of his hand and as the other Rangers attack the Power Drainer gives up and sinks back into the ground. Not for long though as he returns as a Mega Monster. Using the last of his energy, the Blue Ranger helps the others to combine the Samurai Megazord, same plan as before destroy the big bottle of Sanzu water that is now on the Power Drainer's back. He might be strong but the Megazord is fast, and with a few quick moves the Rangers smash the bottle with the Megazord's sword, as the Power Drainer runs out of power he is easily defeated. Back at the Shiba House, Kevin asks Mentor Ji "even though I was weak how did I find more strength?" Mentor Ji explains "Friendship, Family, Friends - People give us strength."
