* DeusExMachina: Zordon explains to Andros that rupturing his tube would end the battle, but also that [[ICannotSelfTerminate he cannot do it himself and needs Andros to effectively kill him]]. As it turns out, doing so kills all monstrous villains and footsoldiers, purifys RubberForeheadAliens and HumanAliens of the taint of evil magic, and does so while all existing heroes (Aquitarian Rangers, Gold Ranger of Triforia, Phantom Ranger, Blue Senturian) are on the ropes if not actually captured, neatly tying up all the loose ends of the series. As evidence that TropesAreNotBad, the sheer weight of what happened tends to overshadow the fact it is a Deus ex Machina.
