At first when I came across this I expected a handful of interviews at some convention with a little back and forth before some arbitrary decision. I was pleased to find out what we actually got was a real deal battle starring the real deal Green Ranger.

Ryu starts the video finishing off some scrub wondering if he will ever find a worthy opponent. Look to the sky and here comes the Green Ranger to answer the challenge.

Ryu pulls out the big guns early going to Hadouken, knocking the Green Ranger off his feet…

…but would only anger the civilian dragon and send him into morphing time.

“It was at that moment Ryu knew he fucked up”

You’re more than willing to continue reading but right here you know as well as I do that this one is game over. The Morphing – Draggon Dagger Flute – Dragon Zord combo easily trumps whatever button mashing combo the little street fighter is going to throw Green Rangers way.

We got a taste of the Dragon Dagger but the directors took an interesting turn when they chose to have Green Ranger use his “Darkness Dagger” to finish the weird looking fire throwing/zombie/vampire Ryu.

When it came down to the fan vote, with half a million votes tallied, the Green Ranger edged out Ryu 53-47.

The voters knew what was up and were likely aware at how awesome this guy is. The simple fact that Jason David Frank believe he IS THE GREEN RANGER is so perfect. Honestly it would not surprise me to find out he only has green articles of clothing and openly shames gift’s that are not a tone of green.

The guy eat, sleeps, and repeats as the Green Ranger. He has a website where you can train like the Green Ranger and makes it a point to hit up Wizard World so you too can “meet the legendary ranger.”

The Power Rangers are heating up as of late. There was the epic short film that came out a few months back as well as a new movie due out in 2017. Lets hope Hollywood doesn’t screw this up and cut the real Green Ranger out.

PS Happy Belated Cinco de Mayo.
