Power Rangers Wild Force: Unity Of The Animals

This is the first special for the season of Power Rangers Animal Universe.

## Story

The Wild Force Rangers are being called back to the Animarium by Princess Shayla as a new threat of Org has rebirthed after 25 years since Master Org was destroyed. The new Org has awaken from his hibernation and then fights with the now-reunited rangers. He is nothing like what the Wild Force Rangers have ever fought before, as he's stronger and deadly than the other monsters they have fought before.

Upon retreating the rangers seem to have lost hope before they spend time bickering and arguing over who was to blame for their defeat against the new org. Eventually after a plea from Princess Shayla to stop the arguing, all of the team decide to go their own ways.

Upon being back in their own natural backgrounds, they each encounter a mysterious monk who tells them about the Rangers that have fought before them and how the fight is never over. Each member discovers that each mysterious monk is a past ranger from its history which leads to each of these rangers teaching the Wild Force rangers about what it takes to be a Ranger once more. Will these ex-rangers be able to help the Wild Force Rangers defeat Master Mufuhasa by reuniting for once and for all?

## Behind The Scenes

This episode would see footage being used from **Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai** with the footage enhanced for 21st century audience whilst also introducing two new characters and their respective teams to the Power Rangers Universe.

This would ultimately serve as a prequel to the Wild Force Rangers inevitable return for Power Rangers Animal Universe where they would return in Episode 14 & 15 "Wild At Heart / Battle Of The Animals".

When asked about the potential return of Ricardo Medina Jr to the show following the time spent in prison over five years earlier over a manslaughter charge, new showrunner Andy Wilkins stated "Everyone has made mistakes in their life and Ricardo is no different to that. He has shown remorse to what he has done alongside a willingness to change and learn from the error of his ways and for that, Ricardo wanted to come in and play Cole again so we gave him that opportunity. Unless he does something wrong under my eye, I have no issue to work with him in any productions.

Actress Jessica Carey spoke about how fun it was to be filming once again in an interview done at the start of 2026. She hinted they weren't done just yet with filming entirely which led some to believe more could be happening to remember one of the most memorable seasons in PR history.

The addition of Johnny Yong Bosch was one that came out of Wilkins wanting a cast member from the MMPR days to return and play a part in the proceedings of this special. It would be revealed that Adam has been given a Master Morpher which is similar to that of what Tommy Oliver has.

Luke Youngblood and Navin Chowdhry were cast as the two new rangers to feature in the special with both Brits taking on the roles of Jordan Kloves and Anwar McKenna. Wilkins stated he wanted to bring in a new type of diversity to the show to showcase that literally anyone can be a Power Ranger.
