Blade Ranger/Relationships

== Friends and Allies ==
===Dusty Crophopper===
Blade was not impressed with Dusty at first, but was especially unhappy when Dusty kept pulling back while being trained to climb up the waterfall and pick up water, since Dusty didn't tell him about his damaged gearbox. However, he sarcastically congratulates Dusty for putting out a campfire, saying that he saved the campers from a "nice vacation". While getting ready to fight a couple of spot fires made by a thunderstorm, Blade, at first refused to let Dusty help, because that he was not certified. However, after Dipper and Windlifter pointed out that they would need everyone available, Blade reluctantly agreed to let Dusty help, although he was not pleased with Dusty after the work was done, as he noted out that Dusty broke formation in a crowded airspace.
The next day, Blade took Dusty with him to help fight another wildfire which was heading toward the Grand Fusel Lodge. He gave an order of splitting the load of retardant, but Dusty, too distracted by the news his friends gave him, released all of his retardant, making Blade scowl. He ordered Dusty to head back to the base, but Dusty instead went to the lake to reload, which Blade tried to point out that it was a bad idea due to the strong crosswinds. With Dusty being swept through the rapids, Blade attempted to get him out with his hoist, but it got caught around a fallen tree. Struggling to get it off, Blade ordered Dusty to get to max torque before reaching the waterfall. However, just as he was to get into the red, Dusty slowed down, which Blade was still unaware that it was due to Dusty trying not to cause maximum damage to his gearbox. Just as Dusty was about to hit the ground, Blade grabbed him with his hoist, feeling cross that he did not redline it. Soon, Blade gets into an argument with Dusty for not following orders, and suggested to him to go back to racing, which causes Dusty to lose his temper and finally confess that his gearbox is damaged, which was why he pulled power. Finally realizing why Dusty kept disobeying orders and that he pushed him too hard, Blade quietly understands this and tells him not to give up becoming a firefighter. They both immediately took shelter inside an old mine, just as the fire was closing in. While inside, Blade protected Dusty from the heat of some burning tree trunks, resulting in his paintwork being blistered, and damage to his interior parts.
Soon, he was fixed by Maru, and went to help Dusty rescue Harvey and Winnie from the fire. After the rescue, Blade was amazed by Dusty's work, and finally referred to him by his real name, as he had previously been calling him "Champ". As a result, Blade gave Dusty his certification, now becoming friends with him.
===Mayday===
As stated in the quote above, Blade is a good friend to Mayday. Before Dusty arrived, Mayday radioed him about a "S.E.A.T" coming to the airfield, which turned out to be Dusty needing some training in order to become Propwash Junction's second firefighter.
===Nick Loopin' Lopez===
Blade took Nick Loopin' Lopez as his best friend when they worked together on the TV show, CHoPs. During the show, they worked to arrest a criminal named Chuck Shocks, and rescued Pinta from a structural fire. After doing such a good job, Blade congratulated Nick, telling him, "Good move, partner." However, one day, Nick was killed when a sudden crosswind affected his stunt scene, leaving Blade saddened, because he could not figure out how to save him. He even thought that his life would be over as well, but he made the decision to quit his show and save lives for real.
