Casey Rhodes

Casey Rhodes was a fairly new member to the Pai Zhua Academy and hence known as a cub and possessed the spirit of the tiger. He has the power to stand up for what he believes in and for others. He doesn't like other people to get picked on. When Casey stood up one day for a fellow cub who was being verbally abused by Jarrod, Master Mao (the leader of the Pai Zhua Academy) dismissed Jarrod. Master Mao saw the potential that Casey had in him and chose him instead of Jarrod, to guard Dai Shi's imprisonment box. After Master Mao was destroyed and Dai Shi escaped, the trio went to Ocean Bluff where they met their new master - RJ - and gave him the powers of the Jungle Fury Red Ranger. Casey still had doubts about himself because his teammates were much more experienced than him and he felt like he had to train twice as hard. At the pizza pallor Jungle Karma Pizza, he was a pro when it came to making pizza. Casey now needed to find out what it takes to become a leader and lead his team. Casey can be overconfident, especially when he tried to go up against Dai Shi alone, but he got himself hurt. After Lily and Theo had received new masters, Casey was eager to meet his new master, but R.J. was not because it is his father Master Finn. When Master Finn saved Casey from Rinshi, Casey became good friends with the master and mastered the shark technique. Casey eventually made up with R.J. that he will always be his master.

When Dai Shi beat up the Rangers profusely in a big showdown and sequestered R.J., the Rangers were left Master-less. R.J. told them they knew what to do, which was to go back to basics, which led them back to the Pai Zhua Academy room where Dai Shi was kept. The Rangers noticed the masters' animal spirits etched in the wall and wondered where Master Rilla, Master Guin, and Master Lope are located. They were greeted once more by their fallen teacher Master Mao. He sent them to the Spirit World at Casey's urging to be trained by three fallen masters. They put them through tests, Master Rilla sent Casey to a dimension that resembled his old bedroom and had to face his childhood fear of a monster in his closet. Once he got it over it, he opened the door to find he had passed the test and granted the Claw Boosters, Jungle Master mode, and Gorilla Spirit Zord.

He was later able to summon the Shark Spirit Ranger whenever needed. Casey's tiger spirit was stolen by Whiger and he was unable to morph, because if he did, his life would be in danger. Casey was teaching a class of young students at the time and one of his students that was always being picked on, helped in giving more power against a foe. Whiger's Rinzin was taken by Dai Shi and banished for not defeating Casey. Casey helped and befriended the weakened Whiger and Whiger assisted him in saving his friends. Whiger then faded away because his power was running out, but he didn't leave Casey's mind.

When Casey battled Master Finn in a test for his Master Stripes, he didn't know what to do and followed what the others did and failed. R.J. later commented to Theo and Lily about this stating that a "student follows his master and doesn't ask." He then saw Jarrod save Camille from danger and was convinced that Jarrod was still in Dai Shi, but no one else believed him. He fought Dai Shi in his palace and came back with Jarrod and Camille to join in battle, for this he earned his stripes from R.J. After the final battle against Dai Shi, Casey was teaching a class in Phi Zhua with Jarrod and Camille as students. He even repeated the "student follows his master and doesn't ask" wisdom to his students.

    In Super Megaforce besides teaching children his Kung Fu, Casey works as a part-time zookeeper at the local zoo. He trains Emma and Jake in fighting without using weapons in order to battle the magnetic-powered Pacha Chamak. After the battle when the Rangers visit the zoo to thank Casey, they learn from a zookeeper that no one named Casey works at the zoo. Emma and Jake later see Casey in a gazebo before he disappears into thin air. He would later appear-though without removing his helmet as a part of the Ranger army.
