The Last Super Sentai I Watched: The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

After Bioman and Maskman, there is another super sentai show that made me glued to our television. It was first shown every Friday at 7:30 P.M. I'm referring to "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

The story started when two unwitting astronauts discover a dumpster and released Rita Repulsa and her evil space army. Their main goal is to conquer the Earth. When the wise sage Zordon becomes aware of the release of the evil witch he was responsible for capturing so long ago, he orders his robotic assistant Alpha 5 to find five "teenagers with attitude" to defend the Earth from Rita's attacks. The five socially diverse teens chosen are Jason Lee Scott, Kimberly Hart, Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan and Billy Cranston. Zordon gives the five teens the ability to morph into Power Rangers, including an arsenal of weapons at their disposal as well as large robotic machines called Zords, which can combine into the mighty Megazord.

The members of the original Power Rangers are:



Jason Lee Scott
The original Red Power Ranger and the first leader of the team. Jason was a martial arts master and even had a karate class for teenagers, which Billy was a part of. He was armed with the Power Sword. He controls the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord.



Zachary "Zack" Taylor
The original Black Power Ranger and second-in-command. A practical joker, he used dance moves and martial arts to fight. He wielded the Power Axe which could convert to an energy cannon. He runs the Mastodon Dinozord.



Billy Cranston
The Blue Power Ranger and later the Blue Ninja Ranger. He held his position for the longest, and was the smartest member of the team as well as the inventor. He possessed the Power Lance. He is the pilot of the Triceratops Dinozord.



Trini Kwan
The original Yellow Power Ranger. She tried to set a good example and was able to translate Billy's technobabble. She was afraid of heights as seen in the episode "High Five" of season one, however she had conquered this fear by the end of the episode. She was armed with the Power Daggers. She is in-charge of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Dinozord.





Kimberly Ann Hart
The original Pink Power Ranger and later the Pink Ninja Ranger. She was a gymnast with a valley girl attitude, as well as Tommy's girlfriend. Her weapon was the Power Bow. She manages the Pterodactyl Dinozord.




In the course of the show, Rita used a ranger which has of same level of martial arts skills as of Jason and he is Tommy Oliver, "The Green Ranger". After episodes of being a villain, eventually the Green Ranger joined the group and he was also given his own Dinozord which is the Dragonzord.


There may be a lot of Power Ranger Seasons but this will always be the personal favorite!

  3. This was based on Zyuranger. Just check my blog out.

    Interesting note: Pink Five in Bioman was named Kimberly in the dub, in Power Rangers the Pink Ranger was also Kimberly. Also the death of the original Yellow 4 in Bioman somewhat predicted Thuy Trang's death later.
