Consumed By

 * Terror Toad
 * Invenusable Flytrap

General
Jason is the bold and courageous leader of the Power Rangers and an avid martial artist. Though he is initially uncertain about his position as a Ranger, just like the others, he quickly proves to be an effective, motivational leader whom his teammates can depend on.

Regarding Scenario
During the Terror Toad battle, Jason courageously and desperately continues to fight the monster alone even after seeing his teammates Trini and Zack be converted into spheres of energy and eaten whole in that state, and witnessing their helmets materialise on the toad's belly as a symbol of their fate. He tries to maintain control of the situation, restraining an infuriated Zack, but is guilty of making rash decisions in the heat of battle that result in his fellow Rangers being eaten by the monster. He is able to fend the monster off long enough for Billy and Kimberly to arrive, but he too is soon devoured afterwards, caught off guard by the toad having a secondary consumption method. He is clearly distressed while being devoured by the Terror Toad, crying out and flailing his legs as he descends down the monster's gullet. He appears confused but alert as he comes to his senses after his release, and is quickly ready to do battle again in spite of his recent experience of seeing fellow Rangers be overpowered and dispatched by the Terror Toad and then suffering the same fate.

During the battle against Invenusable Flytrap, he is apparently distressed as he and his fellow Rangers are captured and consumed by the monster. However, he remains composed while trapped inside the monster and ultimately leads his team in breaking free of it.

Background
Prior to becoming a Ranger, Jason was a relatively average, albeit physically adept, high school student who attended Angel Grove High School. When the wicked Rita Repulsa was freed and began to terrorize Earth, Jason was selected by Zordon to become the Red Ranger, the leader of the team, and help defend the Earth. After this, Jason worked dutifully alongside his fellow Rangers and routinely defended the Earth from Rita's monsters, always emerging victorious.

Scenario
In the episode Power Ranger Punks, Jason, as well as Zack and Trini, do battle with the monster Terror Toad. The trio prove to have little success in their attacks against the monster, and they are easily fended off. Jason leads the Rangers to attack the toad individually after one combined attack fails, and they are easily picked off, as Zack, Jason, and finally Trini are struck down in turn. Trini is caught in a tendril of energy launched from the monster's horn and is transformed into an energy sphere which is swallowed by the Terror Toad, leaving only Zack and Jason to fight him. Jason orders Zack to join him in retaliating with Blade Blaster fire, but the projectiles are reflected back at them, knocking them to the ground. Jason tries to restrain Zack and proposes they re-group, but following another failed combined attack and some taunts from the toad, Jason leads the remaining Rangers in recklessly to engage, but Zack is struck down heavily and he too is transformed and swallowed, leaving Jason to fight the monster alone. Jason is soon joined by fellow Rangers Billy and Kimberly who manage to cut off the Terror Toad's horn, making him unable to turn them into energy spheres. This angers the toad and, in retaliation, he shoots his physical tongue at Jason, wrapping it around him. Jason is then pulled into the Terror Toad's mouth and he is swallowed whole. An image of Jason's helmet appears on the Terror Toad's belly, signifying his capture.

Fate
Jason remains trapped in the Terror Toad's stomach for a good part of the battle and his fellow Ranger Billy is soon swallowed as well. Jason and the others are later freed by fellow Ranger Kimberly who ultimately destroys the Terror Toad.

Scenario
In the episode Welcome to Venus Island, Jason and the rest of the Power Rangers battle the Invenusable Flytrap. During the battle, Jason, along with Zack, Billy, and Kimberly are struck by a beam fired from the Invenusable Flytraps chest, and they are sucked into the monster's stomach.

Fate
While inside its stomach, he and the other consumed Rangers learn from fellow Power Rangers Trini and Tommy that the monster is weak to heat. Jason and the others then use their Power Coins to generate heat to weaken the monster and then fight their way out.
