What Ranger moment caught you off-guard? Let us know in the comments. For more Power Rangers content, click here: th-cam.com/video/Nsd7lehSG94/w-d-xo.html
The very first time I was caught off guard was during the Evil Green Ranger six part episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Watching Tommy viscously ripping open the panels and pulling out handful after handful of wires to the Command Center's control consoles and later witnessing the destruction of Megazord falling into molten lava was pretty traumatic to watch back then.
Kendrix's sacrifice made my younger self sob buckets. I didn't realise that Valerie Vernon was battling leukemia in real life, though thankfully she recovered, returning for the season finale.
Kinda pointless to return for like 10 seconds and 2 lines. They couldve thot they defeated trakeena then return the sword to the stone to revive kendrix. Then they knew they celebrate too soon and go into battle one last time. Karone is severely injured by trakeena so kendrix takes back the mantle as pink ranger and fight one last time before they hang up their sword for good. Postpone the final episode so that kendrix can have her last battle after Valerie's full recovery
Divatox was a prime example of never underestimating your enemies. She may have not been one of the strongest but give her credit, she did what Rita and the Machine Empire took YEARS to do.
The most heartbreaking moment for me was Jason, Zack, and Trini leaving. I felt like my big brother left. Little did I know, they became the omega rangers and were being universal bad asses. And when Jason came back to be the gold ranger, I was so happy. Like beyond happy.
As a child I felt Sympathy for Frax upon learning his backstory. Also, the fact that Venjix survived through to the Beast Morphers series makes its existence even more terrifying.
Meanwhile in Sentai, Frax/Gien, was an innocent boy who Saved Donero’s life and became on the verge of death. To save Frax/Gien’s life, he turns Gien into a cyborg but it ends up making Gien become crazy, violent, and genocidal
The Power Rangers Space & Lost Galaxy endings were brutal, absolutely amazing acting. Time Force gets to me as well, with his father asking him what now son.
@@cooper3814 That was actually supposed to happen, Cassie was going to stay on Terra Ventura as the Galaxy Pink Ranger, but I guess ther were some issues with the creators and Patricia Ja Lee, so they went with Melody Perkins (Karone) instead.
@@omarcogle1965 ya I read about that, she could’ve gotten a master morpher for that Cassie; Go Galactic *lost galaxy morph* Robo-Cassie; You’ve barely ever used Galaxy pink powers out of guilt, you’re emotions cloud your judgement, but I’m a robot I have no emotion Cassie; there’s a lot my emotions have given me, that you don’t have.

@@cooper3814 That would've been cool to see Cassie in Dimensions in Danger, but I hope that Christopher Khayman Lee (Andros) brings her aboard his Power Rangers Fan Series Bloodline of the Grid.
Most shocking moment for me was watching Jason serve as one the best true leaders of the rangers. Then Zordon give Tommy a whole new suit with gold shoulder pads. And just nonchalantly tell Jason, “so yeah. You’re demoted. He’s leader now.”
A result of Austin St. John leaving the show over the pay. By the time that episode went to air he was already gone. Had he not left and was already known to be soon replaced by Steve Cardenas as Rocky in a near future episode that promotion line of Tommy to team leader likely never would of been inserted into the episode.
I always had a headcanon that Jason already knew he was going to be demoted because he, Zack, and Trini were already planning on leaving; and had talked to Zordon beforehand. His "this is great" line was him acknowledging that the team was being left in good hands. Otherwise it would have been quite out of character for him.
What's more disturbing and inconsistent is that just two or so episodes prior Jason had one of his greatest moments ever, saving the other Rangers from their power-stealing candles and imprisonment, redeeming himself for his failure with the Green Candle, and he was heavily praised by Zordon for being such a fantastic and able leader at the end of the episode. The "Surprise! Demotion!" moment just retroactively made the whole episode seem so hollow and insincere, and worst still, called into question the character and integrity of Zordon. They really should have just waited till the Power Transfer to make Tommy the leader, it would have felt so much more natural and respectful. Honestly the way the episode Jason returns in Zeo is written, it feels like this is actually what they retconned it too anyway. Why would Jason and Tommy need a heart-to-heart about Jason not returning to the leadership position, if Jason had already functioned as number one to Tommy's Captain?
@@KotCR exactly. Also Jason as Gold Ranger. One the coolest and best looking ranger suits ever! Yet also too short lived. I think the little things like that made me like Jason more. Minority but I like him more than even Tommy 🤷🏽♂️
The actress who played Kendrix Morgan in Lost Galaxy, left the show because she had leukemia. Luckily she was cured and she came back In the last episode. 😀
The destruction of the thunderzords left my mouth wide open. The way all the wires were showing and the different parts as they were exploding was very traumatizing.
The most traumatising moments for me was Zen-Aku stealing Wild Zords from the Rangers after defeating them multiple times. First the Elephant zord, then the Giraffe lord, and then the Bear zords (also meaning no more Kongazord). He even used them for his Dark Predazord.
FUN FACT: After Vernon left Lost Galaxy, the show still listed her as her as part of the cast so they could pay her for her treatment. It was TOTALLY worth it since she returned for the final episode.
I'm so happy that you guys choose that episode as the thumbnail. 👍🏻 That episode titled Ryan's Destiny from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue was my 1st ever episode to the entire Power Rangers series. I have it on VHS to this day since I was 3 years old.
Dino Fury Moment when Zatyo sacrifice himself to Save his Friends and the World. Also in Cosmic Fury, when Javi Unleashed the Cosmic Fury Zords from the Alter only to end up Losing his Arm.
I remembered Power Rangers in Space was the most traumatizing one. The villains were powerful & terrifying , zords getting butchered, psycho rangers, Andros losing Astronema and Zordon's sacrifice.
That was the most epic season they ever did. Starts with Astronema and ends with the battle for the whole universe. Fighting the psycho rangers, watching as Astronema goes all Borg, the dramatic way the Zords were destroyed fighting her monsters as well as the psycho rangers, and culminating in a climax that power rangers has never been able to outdo. The drama as well as the acting is amazing for a power rangers series. I can’t say enough good things about Power Rangers in Space.
5:58 In the Power Rangers comics, Karone willingly submitted herself to be judged by the intergalactic community for her crimes as Astronema even though she was brainwashed. Andros and his friends stop it by trying to speak up in her defense and later unleashed an Android in likeness of Astronema, who claims she separated from Karone by the Z-Wave that purified most evil in the universe, to destroyed by the intergalactic community's security forces. Karone wasn't happy when she found out.
for something written into the show to hand wave not having Titanium Ranger around, the whole cobra tattoo curse was brilliantly done. ( seriously, Titanium Ranger is an entirely Power Rangers original creation and since they still mostly prioritized using the Sentai footage they needed an in-universe excuse for him to not be there ) and as a fan of the Sentai counterparts of many Power Rangers seasons, the entirety of MegaForce merely existing is traumatizing for me.....especially the "Super" half that just flips off Gokaiger while being so lazily handled they'd need a space elevator to even see the level of half-assed as a dot above them ( even the cast knows Gokaiger deserved a true, epic adaptation )
One for me was how Ecliptor becomes a good guy before getting brainwashed, only to be disintegrated by Zordon’s energy wave. It also kind of hurt when Elgar got disintegrated.
Back when Power Rangers aired on Disney, parents complained the show was too violent and not educational enough. The death of Magna defender's son, which as you said was very cruel, is a perfect example of that. This is why Disney canceled power rangers after RPM in 2009
Lost Galaxy wasn’t a part of the Disney era of Power Rangers though. Wild Force was the first on Disney, 4 years later. But I do remember the complaints about it being too violent.
The moment that traumatized me and my life the most was when Jason David Frank passed away on November 19, 2022. He was my idol, role model and childhood hero. Once A Ranger... Always A Ranger. IT'S MORPHIN TIME. RIP Tommy Oliver.
I think the destruction of the classic Command Center at the end of MMPR was more heart breaking than the destruction at the end of Turbo. It was one of the best cliff hangers in children's television and it left millions of children wondering what was going to happen next.
I was like what the hell just happened. Is Alpha and Zordon still alive? Did Rita and Zedd win? How are the Power Rangers going to stop them? MMPR did it way better than Turbo.
That's a fair point, because even though both MMPR and Turbo's endings were cliffhangers, MMPR was the first season and audiences didn't know for sure whether the show would continue on. But by Turbo, people already knew that it would continue with another season.
@@ShadowMikeXXWhat made no sense to me about the Power Chamber blowing up was this. After the Command Center was destroyed, the Power Chamber was discovered in the tunnels below where the Command Center had been. It was the same place where Alpha 5 & Zordon gave Tommy his White Ranger powers.
In Wild Force, there's a scene when Animalia starts shaking. I don't remember well, but I think it was the King Ogre invading the flying island. That made me shiver in my childhood and did it once again on the rewatch
Zordon's death had the biggest impact. He sacrificed his life to big down what could be the greatest evil alliance ever. It was fitting yet unbelievable.
I was born in 2000. So it turns I was those people who thought Most of the time Villans only have the potential of enslaving the world but never the ability to destroy Rangers. 😭💀
Carlos and Cassy's mutations still make me scared. When I saw it for the first time, I screamed and ran into my room crying rivers. Kendrix's sacrifice was also a real hitter. I still tear up over it.
For a moment I thought this would include mainly scary moments, like when Darkonda forcefully operated on Ecliptor, or seeing Anton Mercer turn into Mesogog.
@@madisonvanessaroccoa-teller Right, sorry. Speaking of Time Force, another good Time Force moment for this list would be Mr. Collins' death because of how realistically it's done.
Who else agrees with me that Frax was the most tragic villain in all of Power Rangers? Also I think one of the scariest moments in Power Rangers was the finale for Lightspeed Rescue, basically Bansheera opened the gates of Hell to unleash an army of the dead into the world, it's especially creepy when Carter & the queen are dangling over the pit of deranged monsters
Agreed! I felt for Frax when Ransik found and brainwashed him towards the end of the season. For Queen Bansheera, I was really having images of what if the Rangers failed to stop her tsunami. For a demon powerful enough to control forces of nature, that really got into me.
If we are talking about moments that left me with nightmares, power rangers light speed rescue takes the cake. I’d have so many nightmares as a kid of an asteroid hitting my hometown and magnavore rising up from it. The villains were freaky as hell
Even though I was just a few years old when I saw the season finale of In Space, I knew well enough that it sort of felt like an end of era and that things would never be the same again.
6:36: There's one thing that you haven't mentioned. The events leading up to it are EQUALLY traumatizing. Karone is brought to the Megaship, but Dark Specter, now furious at her switching sides, LOBS A FREAKING APOCALYPSE-CAUSING ASTEROID AT EARTH. (Yes, just like "Armageddon" in 1998) The rangers try plan after plan, but nothing will scratch it or destroy it! Karone tries to sneak onto the Dark Fortress and reprogram the asteroid's path, but is captured by an already-brainwashed Ecliptor. (as you see in the video) Things go from bad to worse, as the Rangers try the last-ditch effort of using the Megazords to push the asteroid off-course, but they just don't have enough power with the Astro, Delta, *AND* Mega Voyager Megazords...
In Space and Lost Galaxy had quite a few shocking or at least heartbreaking moments, and some have not been discussed here at all. Not only Zordon's death was hard to swallow, but the scene shortly before that, when Andros seemingly kills Karone, and the scene shortly after it, when first everyone looks up in ultimate despair because they think Astronema has won and then Andros walks out of the Dark Fortress, being sad because of Karone's death. As far Lost Galaxy, you might almost feel sorry for Trakeena when she has to say goodbye to Scorpius and see him die. I wasn't really traumatized by Loyax's end, but since he turned honorable and friendly to Maya, it felt sad that he fell. And a similar thing could be said about Villamax, who was about to turn good.

I don't think there is one episode i can think of in the PR series that scared me for life but the only saddest moment for me was doggy cruger's back story in spd
Bro... I remember watching the episode about the destruction of the Thunderzords the morning of the first day of school. I was 10 years old. I will never forget that day... I mean... I was excited to see Power Rangers on TV before going to school. But when I saw the episode... I was traumatized at school all day.😂😂😂
I used to be scared of this time force moment when some kids dressed as power rangers almost died in an explosion but thank god trip saved them and they in a way of saying thank you dressed up as the green rsnger
Prince Gasket brainwashing Tommy in Power Rangers Zeo scared me. It was a 2 parter and the end of Part 1 showed Tommy being held captive and that music playing scared me as a kid

The one scene that shook me and almost made stopped watching power rangers, was when zen aku rises from the tomb for the first time. It was the night scene, and those yellow eyes were creepy. What made it worse was that he didn't talk for the first few minutes as he took down ranger after ranger.
The power rangers moments were from: Power Rangers Zeo: Tommy & Kimberly's break-up--Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Magna Defender's Traumatic Past--Power Rangers In Space: Zordon's sacrifice and death, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Kendrix's death, Power Rangers Once And Always: Trini Kwan's death and many more. I also include Ryan's cobra tattoo from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Carlos bug transformation in Power Rangers in Space, Astronema's brainwashing Power Rangers in Space.
The most devastating thing was when space ended and we didn't have internet like today to say another season was coming so evryone thoght power rangers was over forever. It felt like someone you loved died.
countdown to destruction was one of the most heartbreaking moments on the show, watching the one person that so many felt like a father figure sacrifice himself which at that moment we all thought that ment the end period... only after the credits roll and then the teaser for the next season... suprised that the end of mmpr start of zeo wasnt on this list, watching the command center get destoryed and there chance to become power rangers again was so heartbreaking, then forced to wait for several months with extremely tiny like 15 second clips to say yea things are coming and new things... back when tv wasnt super crystal clear unless you had satalite or cable, one couldnt tell the zeo crystal was what the shapes they all were doing to start season 4 or even to know if alpha and zordon were even alive... some very good episodes
The Power Chambers destruction stuck with me forever. Not only was thus the second time it was destroyed, but the base if operations the last five years at the time was gone forever.
The one person that scared the living hell out of me was Bansheera, she was a sadistic and cruel woman that made Rita and Trakeena look like angels. Sure they were ruthless and evil, but that demon queen was a mad woman.
What about when you see a disembodied Mack in PR Operation Overdrive? When we (and he himself) learn he is an android and his head literally has wires poking out of it, and the disembodied Red Ranger head begins talking. "Hey dad did something happen to me?"
another traumatizing moment was when dark konda strapped ecliptor to a chair and said "Your'e gonna have an attitude adjustment open wide." and starts spinning a drill is scary
Trakeena using suicide bombing in Lost Galaxy to destroy two of the Galaxy Rangers' zords and Leo firing at point blank range to destroy Trakeena almost dying in the process.
The destruction of the thundezords omg as a kid I was shocked that rito and his crew were able to take down the tiger zord and thunder megazord in succession omg I thought they would be able to defeat rito as usual... Nope instead we got one the most craziest and dope ( as an adult now, as a kid I cried my ass off and couldn't believe what I was seeing) destruction scenes in power rangers History and I really thought that was gonna be the end of mmpr this time
What if Zordon is also "EVIL" , he has connection with Lord Zedd Like mentor and student and in a fact that we know a few with zordon. We don't know his whole backstory .
Jungle fury ( Jarrod's childhood backstory and why he became a bully in phi Zhang) I felt so bad for him and it was hard to see how he grew up and it added to the story because I knew jarrod wasn't gonna stay evil forever and needed to be saved
@@gilbertotorres3269 Indeed I watched the whole season and it was fantastic they used real martial and Chinese weapons like the Tonfa and Nunchucks Casey and Theo use⚔️⚔️.
Suprised you used Frax's death (which was really watered down compared to the sentai) instead of Venomark's pandemic. He still gives me nightmares, especially in recent years.
In Space, Lost Galaxy Time Force, S.P.D., and RPM was one of the darkest Power Rangers series ever. RPM and in Space are both tide as they were both as the same storyline and the series that it was supposed to be the end of Power Rangers.
It’s scenes like the one at number seven that make me like Megazord destruction sequences. Out with the old, in with the new I guess. Speaking of which, I wonder if there will be any in cosmic fury.
Speaking of that Zayto's death during the start of Dino Fury S2' final Arc forcing Ameila to step up and become the new Dino Fury/Cosmic Fury Red Ranger and leader of the team that was a definitely a tear-jerker despite the fact he did come back as the new White Dino Fury Ghost Ranger, and will stay with the team as the White Cosmic Fury Zenith Ranger. Speaking of Dino Fury S2 we also get trauma in the form Amelia's past and "Spoiler Alert" despite not knowing her origins and parents throughout all of Dino Fury S1, the revelations concerning Amelia's past in S2 were dark.
I kinda feel bad that, due to having so 4-5 siblings throughout the years Power Rangers Mighty Morphin-Jungle Fury were on the air, I didn't get to watch every episode, so missed a lot of the trauma of this list. The only one I genuinely experienced was Venjix in RPM, as I had my own room and TV in my family home by then, so didn't have too many distractions. Sure, I got the Power Rangers Ultimate Rangers DVD, which includes the In Space episodes of the finale where Zordon goes out, long before RPM, but, most likely because of how speratic my viewing of those seasons were, I didn't feel the impact like I think I should have
Thunder zords being destroyed was crazy but countdown to destruction had me shocked zordon want to make sure that the universe was protected from the alliance of evil
In my school vr game there's something the most traumatizing thing is the megazord graveyard in the game there's a area called the undread mechs and boy is it horrific
When Tommy lost his Green Ranger powers for good during the time travel episode, when Zane the silver ranger had to recharge his morphed with a bolt of lighting episode, when Tommy got brainwashed by King Mondo's son in Zeo and Kat and Jason had to demorph to save him.

I was like what the hell just happened. Is Alpha and Zordon still alive? Did Rita and Zedd win? How are the Power Rangers going to stop them? MMPR did it way better than Turbo.
That's a fair point, because even though both MMPR and Turbo's endings were cliffhangers, MMPR was the first season and audiences didn't know for sure whether the show would continue on. But by Turbo, people already knew that it would continue with another season.
Yeah I agree the way they did MMPR their cliffhanger made it even more dramatic and yet interesting then in Turbo
@@ShadowMikeXXWhat made no sense to me about the Power Chamber blowing up was this. After the Command Center was destroyed, the Power Chamber was discovered in the tunnels below where the Command Center had been. It was the same place where Alpha 5 & Zordon gave Tommy his White Ranger powers.
In Wild Force, there's a scene when Animalia starts shaking. I don't remember well, but I think it was the King Ogre invading the flying island. That made me shiver in my childhood and did it once again on the rewatch
I would’ve put Lord Zedd entering the Command Center as one of the moments. That scene STILL gives me chills.
Zordon's death had the biggest impact. He sacrificed his life to big down what could be the greatest evil alliance ever. It was fitting yet unbelievable.
I was born in 2000.
So it turns I was those people who thought Most of the time Villans only have the potential of enslaving the world but never the ability to destroy Rangers.
😭💀
Carlos and Cassy's mutations still make me scared. When I saw it for the first time, I screamed and ran into my room crying rivers.
Kendrix's sacrifice was also a real hitter. I still tear up over it.
For a moment I thought this would include mainly scary moments, like when Darkonda forcefully operated on Ecliptor, or seeing Anton Mercer turn into Mesogog.
Anton Alex is the time force red ranger
@@madisonvanessaroccoa-teller Right, sorry. Speaking of Time Force, another good Time Force moment for this list would be Mr. Collins' death because of how realistically it's done.
Anton mercers transformation was nightmare fuel lol
YES!!! A NEW POWER RANGERS LIST!
Who else agrees with me that Frax was the most tragic villain in all of Power Rangers?
Also I think one of the scariest moments in Power Rangers was the finale for Lightspeed Rescue, basically Bansheera opened the gates of Hell to unleash an army of the dead into the world, it's especially creepy when Carter & the queen are dangling over the pit of deranged monsters
Agreed.
@@hissignaturestudios6869 agreed 👍
Agreed
Agreed! I felt for Frax when Ransik found and brainwashed him towards the end of the season. For Queen Bansheera, I was really having images of what if the Rangers failed to stop her tsunami. For a demon powerful enough to control forces of nature, that really got into me.
Agreed
To this day it's still hard for me to get over the passing of JDF.
If we are talking about moments that left me with nightmares, power rangers light speed rescue takes the cake. I’d have so many nightmares as a kid of an asteroid hitting my hometown and magnavore rising up from it. The villains were freaky as hell
Even though I was just a few years old when I saw the season finale of In Space, I knew well enough that it sort of felt like an end of era and that things would never be the same again.
Kendrix's death is easily more traumatizing than Zordon's.
I can't believe Jason David Frank had to end his own life. He was a great guy.
Still breaks my heart. 😞
Most heartbreaking moment for me was when hunter org hypnotized wild zords and megazords fought with each other in wild force series.
6:36: There's one thing that you haven't mentioned. The events leading up to it are EQUALLY traumatizing. Karone is brought to the Megaship, but Dark Specter, now furious at her switching sides, LOBS A FREAKING APOCALYPSE-CAUSING ASTEROID AT EARTH. (Yes, just like "Armageddon" in 1998) The rangers try plan after plan, but nothing will scratch it or destroy it! Karone tries to sneak onto the Dark Fortress and reprogram the asteroid's path, but is captured by an already-brainwashed Ecliptor. (as you see in the video) Things go from bad to worse, as the Rangers try the last-ditch effort of using the Megazords to push the asteroid off-course, but they just don't have enough power with the Astro, Delta, *AND* Mega Voyager Megazords...
Green with evil Part 4 still haunts me to this day....that final 3 on 1 battle left me speechless.....
Venjix returning in Beast Morphers was insane! I was worried that he would do the same thing he did in RPM
He did he deleted Steele then Steele came back as a human and danced Happy in the end
@@robinleedy7828 I meant the fact that Venjix had essentially taken over the world and decimated the population, leaving it a wasteland
@@yamigekusu I didn’t see that part I was at Kindergarten and my tutor didn’t allow me to watch RPM
ALL THESE MOMENTS ARE DRAMATIC!
In Space and Lost Galaxy had quite a few shocking or at least heartbreaking moments, and some have not been discussed here at all. Not only Zordon's death was hard to swallow, but the scene shortly before that, when Andros seemingly kills Karone, and the scene shortly after it, when first everyone looks up in ultimate despair because they think Astronema has won and then Andros walks out of the Dark Fortress, being sad because of Karone's death.
As far Lost Galaxy, you might almost feel sorry for Trakeena when she has to say goodbye to Scorpius and see him die. I wasn't really traumatized by Loyax's end, but since he turned honorable and friendly to Maya, it felt sad that he fell. And a similar thing could be said about Villamax, who was about to turn good.

HOLY ****!
I used to watch Power Rangers with my son. It was the 1st season and forward. He's 33 now.
According to TV Tropes this list will fall in the categories of "Nightmare Fuel" and "Tearjerker."
Hai, fellow troper.
Funny thing is I've never been traumatized by any episode of the Power Rangers, I was more shocked but never traumatized.
Same.
Disturbing or not the art for the cobra tattoo is honestly really good. I could see fans getting it as a fan tribute
I don't think there is one episode i can think of in the PR series that scared me for life but the only saddest moment for me was doggy cruger's back story in spd
Bro... I remember watching the episode about the destruction of the Thunderzords the morning of the first day of school. I was 10 years old. I will never forget that day... I mean... I was excited to see Power Rangers on TV before going to school. But when I saw the episode... I was traumatized at school all day.😂😂😂
Keep up the Great Work 👍
Thanks, will do!
I used to be scared of this time force moment when some kids dressed as power rangers almost died in an explosion but thank god trip saved them and they in a way of saying thank you dressed up as the green rsnger
Prince Gasket brainwashing Tommy in Power Rangers Zeo scared me. It was a 2 parter and the end of Part 1 showed Tommy being held captive and that music playing scared me as a kid

I don’t know about anyone else but when I was younger darkonda was terrifying and probably still would send shivers down my spine
FINALLY recognition of Ryan and the Captain’s trauma. You guys have paid that moment dust for far too long
What traumatized me is the cobra tattoo on Ryan's back and It always haunts me 😔😔😱😱😰
Yeah 😮
Top 10 Black, White and Gold Power Rangers!
Do you mean the best 6th (extra) Rangers? In that case, we know Tommy will be number one.
@@WCLCooke Sure
Yo, I’m sorry, but the most traumatic moment in rangers history was definitely the Turbo Rangers being baked into a pizza 😳
I stopped watching mid way of in space. But now im glad I can watch every season on TH-cam 😊
The one scene that shook me and almost made stopped watching power rangers, was when zen aku rises from the tomb for the first time. It was the night scene, and those yellow eyes were creepy. What made it worse was that he didn't talk for the first few minutes as he took down ranger after ranger.
I stoppped Watching PR after Samurai and Megaforce
@robin lee dy make sense, but for me, it was being sacred. I think I around 7 or 8 when I saw Zen AKU in wild force.
@@oscaraburto3341 Yeah Zen Aku was scary looking but he saved Alyssa’s leg
The power rangers moments were from: Power Rangers Zeo: Tommy & Kimberly's break-up--Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Magna Defender's Traumatic Past--Power Rangers In Space: Zordon's sacrifice and death, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Kendrix's death, Power Rangers Once And Always: Trini Kwan's death and many more. I also include Ryan's cobra tattoo from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Carlos bug transformation in Power Rangers in Space, Astronema's brainwashing Power Rangers in Space.
The most devastating thing was when space ended and we didn't have internet like today to say another season was coming so evryone thoght power rangers was over forever. It felt like someone you loved died.
When I was a kid, after I first watched those episodes about that tattoo I couldn’t stop thinking about that cobra tattoo all night.
I remember Ecliptor dying and turning into dust was messed up. He seemed like a villain that deserved to live
30 years of Power Rangers without Tommy 😢
countdown to destruction was one of the most heartbreaking moments on the show, watching the one person that so many felt like a father figure sacrifice himself which at that moment we all thought that ment the end period... only after the credits roll and then the teaser for the next season... suprised that the end of mmpr start of zeo wasnt on this list, watching the command center get destoryed and there chance to become power rangers again was so heartbreaking, then forced to wait for several months with extremely tiny like 15 second clips to say yea things are coming and new things... back when tv wasnt super crystal clear unless you had satalite or cable, one couldnt tell the zeo crystal was what the shapes they all were doing to start season 4 or even to know if alpha and zordon were even alive... some very good episodes
Honorable mention to the Terror Toad episode of Mighty Morphin. I was traumatized for ages after I first watched it.
Treacheron death was the second saddest death in Lost Galaxy
The Power Chambers destruction stuck with me forever. Not only was thus the second time it was destroyed, but the base if operations the last five years at the time was gone forever.
The one person that scared the living hell out of me was Bansheera, she was a sadistic and cruel woman that made Rita and Trakeena look like angels. Sure they were ruthless and evil, but that demon queen was a mad woman.
I would also add a moment when Magna Defender sacrificed himself to save Rangers and Terra Venture
What about when you see a disembodied Mack in PR Operation Overdrive? When we (and he himself) learn he is an android and his head literally has wires poking out of it, and the disembodied Red Ranger head begins talking. "Hey dad did something happen to me?"
Was too young to really understand Kendrix’s death but as an adult it makes me cry
another traumatizing moment was when dark konda strapped ecliptor to a chair and said "Your'e gonna have an attitude adjustment open wide." and starts spinning a drill is scary
2 episodes that traumatized me was when the MMPR got eaten by a frog monster and when a caterpillar monster forced two ZEO Megazords to speed dance.
I’m gonna need to binge Power rangers now! 😂
Trakeena using suicide bombing in Lost Galaxy to destroy two of the Galaxy Rangers' zords and Leo firing at point blank range to destroy Trakeena almost dying in the process.
The destruction of the thundezords omg as a kid I was shocked that rito and his crew were able to take down the tiger zord and thunder megazord in succession omg I thought they would be able to defeat rito as usual... Nope instead we got one the most craziest and dope ( as an adult now, as a kid I cried my ass off and couldn't believe what I was seeing) destruction scenes in power rangers History and I really thought that was gonna be the end of mmpr this time
What if Zordon is also "EVIL" , he has connection with Lord Zedd Like mentor and student and in a fact that we know a few with zordon. We don't know his whole backstory .
Jungle fury ( Jarrod's childhood backstory and why he became a bully in phi Zhang) I felt so bad for him and it was hard to see how he grew up and it added to the story because I knew jarrod wasn't gonna stay evil forever and needed to be saved
True Jungle fury is so underrated compared to other Power ranger shows, Jungle fury is gotta get popular somehow with Dai shi🦁🦹♂️.
Jarrods n Zs backstory is a real life tht many children who grew up kike tht can definetly relate Junglefury had some real life Tragic Backstoryd
@@gilbertotorres3269 Right and he's badass character too able to take on Rj the Wolf ranger and the whole Jungle fury rangers team by himself🦾🦁.
@@haroldalan7080 Z n Jarrod had similar childhoods although one became a ranger the other Bad but became good n redemmed himself in the end
@@gilbertotorres3269 Indeed I watched the whole season and it was fantastic they used real martial and Chinese weapons like the Tonfa and Nunchucks Casey and Theo use⚔️⚔️.
Epic video ❤️👍
ALL OF THESE MOMENTS WERE SHOCKING!
The events in the Shattered Grid storyline were even more traumatizing.
The red ranger costume is cursed, 3 are no longer with us one was in prison, while another is in prison for murder
Suprised you used Frax's death (which was really watered down compared to the sentai) instead of Venomark's pandemic. He still gives me nightmares, especially in recent years.
Love the titanium ranger suit 👍🏼
Yeah that suit looks cool
In Space, Lost Galaxy Time Force, S.P.D., and RPM was one of the darkest Power Rangers series ever. RPM and in Space are both tide as they were both as the same storyline and the series that it was supposed to be the end of Power Rangers.
For me the darkest was The Dino Thunder And Ninjastorm Crossover
It’s scenes like the one at number seven that make me like Megazord destruction sequences. Out with the old, in with the new I guess. Speaking of which, I wonder if there will be any in cosmic fury.
Speaking of that Zayto's death during the start of Dino Fury S2' final Arc forcing Ameila to step up and become the new Dino Fury/Cosmic Fury Red Ranger and leader of the team that was a definitely a tear-jerker despite the fact he did come back as the new White Dino Fury Ghost Ranger, and will stay with the team as the White Cosmic Fury Zenith Ranger.
Speaking of Dino Fury S2 we also get trauma in the form Amelia's past and "Spoiler Alert" despite not knowing her origins and parents throughout all of Dino Fury S1, the revelations concerning Amelia's past in S2 were dark.
The Post-Zordon era was the best for all the franchise series. Space to Wild Force never forgets.
I kinda feel bad that, due to having so 4-5 siblings throughout the years Power Rangers Mighty Morphin-Jungle Fury were on the air, I didn't get to watch every episode, so missed a lot of the trauma of this list.
The only one I genuinely experienced was Venjix in RPM, as I had my own room and TV in my family home by then, so didn't have too many distractions.
Sure, I got the Power Rangers Ultimate Rangers DVD, which includes the In Space episodes of the finale where Zordon goes out, long before RPM, but, most likely because of how speratic my viewing of those seasons were, I didn't feel the impact like I think I should have
Thunder zords being destroyed was crazy but countdown to destruction had me shocked zordon want to make sure that the universe was protected from the alliance of evil
For me the trauamtizing thing was Lothor Laughing in Thunderstorm Crossover
#5? Nah i Cried at that moment, thats his son, thats my #1. never forgot that moment.
In my school vr game there's something the most traumatizing thing is the megazord graveyard in the game there's a area called the undread mechs and boy is it horrific
Mike Corbett\Magna Defender II Sacrificing His powers to help Terra Venture escape the lost galaxy saw it the day it aired I miss Fox Kids the best
Can you do a Top 10 Power Rangers References in Super Sentai
When Tommy lost his Green Ranger powers for good during the time travel episode, when Zane the silver ranger had to recharge his morphed with a bolt of lighting episode, when Tommy got brainwashed by King Mondo's son in Zeo and Kat and Jason had to demorph to save him.
When Master Org destroys the Wild Zords and the rangers lose their powers I was so sad as a kid, Animal crystals exploding were too much to handle
Right Master Org Final Form was the Most Traumatic Form Ever even more Powerful than Fury from Dino Charge
