There is power in those costumes! Some employees were dressed up as Power Rangers at the restaurant where they worked. Their superpowers became needed when a woman came into their business and needed help.
A Twitter user posted the scene on October 14th saying it was the “craziest” encounter that she witnessed while dining at NōKA Ramen in Oakland, Calif.
“The craziest thing just happened at dinner. I’m at a ramen shop owned by Thai people in Oakland dressed as power rangers, when a woman comes rushing in saying she wasn’t safe—and a man came running in after her and puts her in a chokehold,” the user posted on Twitter.
She went on to explain that the workers were wearing the costumes from the action series because the main cocktail served at NōKA Ramen is a drink called “The Noka Rangers.”
“Once the woman had expressed she wasn’t safe, and she didn’t want to go home with this man who was choke holding her, the black power ranger (the manager with a kicka— bob) and the yellow ranger, told the man to leave,” the social media user continued. “He swung at them. This is when all rangers yelled, ‘Huey!’”
The employee dressed as the Yellow Ranger blocked the punch from the violent man. The other employees told the woman to run to the ditch and hide from the danger.
The men let loose some racial slurs and tried to follow the woman into the kitchen. The Yellow Ranger stepped in again, grabbing the man by his collar and removing him from the restaurant.
Another tweet described the intense scene. “We’re trying to call the cops. Patrons are shaking & crying. The pink power ranger (hostess) tells us our food is free. The man goes outside, starts picking up chairs, baby seats & salt + pepper shakers to throw at the windows. I, for some reason, start wolfing down my ramen.”
The man tried to return to the restaurant with another person, but the Power Rangers locked them out. Eventually, the police arrived and the woman was able to leave after thanking her superheroes.
The restaurant shared this information, “Our NōKA Rangers were real life heroes last night when an incident occurred,” the caption read. “Like our heroic namesakes, it’s not just the powers and costumes that give us strength. It’s who and what we are inside that empowers us.”
