The sixth season of ''PowerRangers'', adapted from ''DenjiSentaiMegaranger''. Managing to save the series from cancellation, this is frequently cited as one of the best, if not ''the'' best, seasons of the franchise. For the first time, the series introduced a heavily serialized plot that built from episode to episode, featuring strong themes, characterizations and coming to an epic climax that gives a degree of finality to the previous six seasons. It also eschewed the BlackAndWhiteMorality that was prominent in previous seasons by featuring morally conflicted heroes and sympathetic villains, also including three reunion episodes and plenty of cameos that kept the continuity extremely tight.
[[PowerRangersTurbo The Turbo Rangers]] ([[KousokuSentaiTurboranger Not THOSE Turborangers]]) were beaten by Divatox, only surviving when she was called away to a meeting of the [[PowerRangersZeo United Alliance of Evil.]] Even though defeated, once the Rangers and Alpha Six learned of Zordon's capture by the ruler Dark Specter they decided to chase after them. By what seems to be an accident, they meet up with Andros, a lone Red Ranger determined to stop the Alliance and rescue his missing sister. The former Turbo Rangers convince him of their worth and he shares his morphers and join their group, becoming the Space Rangers. Alpha reveals that Zordon had prepared many contingency plans in case this should happen, and now the Rangers are the best chance the galaxy has.

!!Recurring ''Power Rangers'' tropes include:
* BigBad: Astronema
** BiggerBad: Dark Specter
* ChestInsignia: Team logos - three triangles arranged as a rectangle - on the belts. There were also personal symbols on the helmet forehead, but they were only visible when they lit up.
** The helmet insignias tended not to be shown, as they were pieces of technology like computers or phones, an [[TheArtifact Artifact]] left over from the tech-based ''Megaranger''.
* CityOfAdventure: Angel Grove, though the Rangers also traveled all over the galaxy.
* TheDragon: CoDragons Ecliptor and Darkonda
* FiveTokenBand: Caucasian Red and Yellow Rangers, a Latino Black Ranger, an African-American Blue Ranger, and an Asian Pink Ranger.
** But Andros is an alien so we have five different races.
* HomeBase: the Astro Megaship
* HumongousMecha
** CombiningMecha
** TransformingMecha: the Astro and Delta Megaships, the Mega Winger
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Aside from the usual "Red Ranger gets everything" factor, this was the show that introduced the Battlizer and all other subsequent powered-up Red Rangers.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Accomplished through "Satellasers".
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Vaguely defined "aliens" that don't seem to share any singular origin. In fact, it's rarely even mentioned where they come from, simply appearing when the plot calls for it, and only occasionally being interviewed by Astronema before being sent. This is especially jarring, given how many of said monsters are based on Earth animals.
* {{Mooks}}: Quantrons
* NeverSayDie: Subverted a couple of times. Specifically, see InfantImmortality. And while the word was never stated, there is ''no'' question what happened to [[spoiler: Zordon.]]
** Actually, in the InfantImmortality subversion, the doctor Carlos and Ashely meet explicitly says that Silvy's brother "died a couple months ago". So it's actually averted in this particular case.
* {{Recycled IN SPACE}}!: Subverted quite a bit despite the title; as the move to outer space brought a number of format changes.
* SuperMode: This season was the first to introduce the "Battlizer" Red Ranger upgrade, which has continued to almost all following seasons (surprisingly this is an American creation, ''Megaranger'' had the Battlizer gadget, but it didn't have a SuperMode function). Interestingly, Megaranger actually had a team SuperMode in the NonSerialMovie, where the core five donned golden torso armor, but this was not brought over to Power Rangers.
* WeaponOfChoice:
** BifurcatedWeapon: Astro Blasters (can be split into two laser guns)
** HeroesPreferSwords: Andros' Spiral Saber, though you could be forgiven for thinking that ThisIsADrill.
** SimpleStaff: Carlos' Lunar Lance
** AnAxeToGrind: T.J.'s Astro Axe
** BratsWithSlingshots: Ashley's Star Slinger
** HandCannon: Cassie's Satellite Stunner
** SwissArmyWeapon: Zhane's Super Silverizer
* WordPower:
** {{Invocation}}: "Let's Rocket!"
!!This subseries contains examples of:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The Rangers' weapons: Lunar Lance, Spiral Saber, Astro Axe, Satellite Stunner, Star Slinger and Super Silverizer.
** Also the Galaxy Gliders.
* AntiVillain: Ecliptor is quite possibly the most likeable villain in the history of PowerRangers. As it turns out he's noble and only does what he does because he's incredibly loyal to Astronema (almost like a father to her). When Astronema breaks out of her initial brainwashing and tries to become good, Ecliptor tries to join her, but they're both put under heavier brainwashing afterwards, but he remains as loyal as ever to her.
* ArentYouForgettingSomeone?: The Turbo Rangers get ready to return to Earth, but fail to realize that they left Alpha on the Astro Megaship.
* AsteroidsMonster
* BabyCarriage: in "Silence Is Golden"
* BadassBookworm: T.J. While a former Red Ranger and leader of the team, he was the only one who figured out a way to combat the PsychoRangers.
* BadGuyBar: There's one present on the planet Onyx, full of {{Mooks}} and [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] from the various seasons.
* BarBrawl
* BastardUnderstudy: Astronema. AFTER Dark Specter brainwashed her.
* TheBeard: "Grandma Matchmaker" in which Ashley asks Carlos to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to get her granny to stop smothering her.
* BigDamnHeroes: Justin and Storm Blaster ''drive through the door of a warehouse'' to free the Rangers, who are seconds from eating the business end of the {{Monster Of The Week}}'s cannon.
** Bulk and Skull of all people do this in the finale.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: They fail. The Power Rangers fail. They survive, yes, and the galaxy is free, but it wasn't the Rangers' doing. The BigBad only died because TheStarscream stabbed him in the back with a planetbuster missile, and the battle was only won because Zordon, the father figure to them all, [[HeroicSacrifice paid the ultimate price]].]]

* HesBack: Adam Park, briefly, in the episode "Always A Chance." He becomes the Black Power Ranger one last time, using his original Power Morpher (the one damaged when Rito destroyed the Thunderzords) in spite of Alpha 6's warning that morphing could kill him. To fans' delight, he first declares that it's Morphing Time, morpher in hand, and then calls out "MASTODON!"

* HourOfPower: Right after getting unfrozen, Zhane had a limit of two and a half minutes.

* InTheHood: Andros at times
* IneffectualLoner: Andros
* InfantImmortality: Believe it or not, subverted. True, it happens offscreen, to a character whom we never meet, but that doesn't change the fact that a girl who appears in ''Carlos on Call'' is stated to have had a twelve year old brother who died just recently. Hell, we even see the girl kneeling in front of his ''grave'' at one point! Of course, the episode was a straight adaptation from Megaranger.
* IntercontinuityCrossover: With ''[[Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation]]'', also owned by Saban Entertainment. While the episode is considered very out of place and most people [[{{Discontinuity}} disown its existence]] (not to mention that Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird [[CanonDiscontinuity officially disown]] ''Next Mutation''), it is a bit of a GuiltyPleasure just from the inherent coolness of a crossover.
** It's the Power Rangers teaming up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, how could that not be awesome? (Next Mutation and [[{{The Scrappy}} Venus]] aside)
*** Plus it has a scene where Elgar gets kicked. Possibly one of the best scenes in the entire series.
* ItGotWorse: In the lead-up to the GrandFinale they lost two of their Megazords, effectively reducing their MidSeasonUpgrade and working only with what they started with.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Implied in the GrandFinale, as Bulk and Skull shake hands before [[spoiler: they lead the civilian mob to aid the Rangers.]]
* LargeHam: Melody Perkins, depending on the wig. Until she's [[spoiler: {{brainwashed}}]], anyway...
** She does a fairly impressive job of suppressing it during her [[spoiler: brief]] HeelFaceTurn, though.
* LegionOfDoom: the United Alliance of Evil
* LetsGetDangerous: Alpha 6 and D.E.C.A, the RobotBuddy and the CoolStarship, utterly humiliate Ecliptor in "The Impenetrable Web".
** Ahem, "Countdown to Destruction Part 2" anyone? There's a reason the IAmSpartacus scene is not only the CrowningMomentofAwesome for Bulk and Skull, but for the entire series in general.
* LightningCanDoAnything: Zhane recharges his morpher by having it struck by lightning.
* LosingYourHead: Ecliptor
* LoveTriangle: Zhane becomes fairly friendly with Ashley, which causes some jealousy from Andros.
* LuckyTranslation: The use of "Megazord" as the name for the franchise's HumongousMecha really pays off here, thanks to the source series being called ''Megaranger''. This meant that most of the mecha weren't renamed at all for ''In Space'', because there was no need.
** Renaming Mega Voyager would've actually caused problems, as the name was written in the cockpit in plain sight. Likewise, Mega Winger's cockpit had "Mega W" written on it. Delta Mega simply had Zord added to the end of the name, while Galaxy Mega was renamed Astro Megazord, but the name Galaxy Megazord was used [[PowerRangersLostGalaxy next season]] instead.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Astronema is really Andros' sister, Karone.]]
* MagicCountdown: Draining Zordon of energy, the visual effect is visibly moving in every episode he is in, yet it should overtake him before the end of the next commercial break.
* MaximumFunChamber: "playing with Scrudley"
* MistakenForDying: Zhane, when the other Rangers hear his time is limited, but don't catch it only applies to his HourOfPower.
* MoralityDial: Used on the Delta Megazord in "The Great Evilizer".
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Inverted between Ecliptor and Karone. She was his boss but when she did a HeelFaceTurn, he couldn't find it in him to fight against her.]]
* MulticoloredHair: Andros: black and blond stripes
* {{My Name Is Not|Durwood}} [[strike:Durwood]] [[MyNameIsNotDurwood Frieda]]: ''It's Rita!''
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Andros to Zhane, only realized after the fact.
* NighInvulnerable: Dark Specter. In the finale [[spoiler: [[TheStarscream Darkonda]] steals two planet-destroying weapons. One he plans to use on Dark Specter and the other on the Dark Fortress (where Astronema and Ecliptor are). He fires one at Dark Specter who goes down... and then promptly ''gets back up''. It takes wasting the one intended for the Dark Fortress, fired directly down Specter's throat, to put him down for good, and he still manages to hang on long enough to eat the aforementioned Darkonda alive.]]
* NobleDemon: Ecliptor
* NoOntologicalInertia: A shape-shifting monster makes Astronema look like Ashley, after which the real Ashley is kidnapped. To escape, she tricks the monster into giving her Astronema's body, and then returns to help the other Rangers destroy it. Luckily, when she takes her helmet off she's back to normal, the monster's spells having been broken by its death.
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: The Interstellar Scanner.
* OfficialCouple: Ashley and Andros
* OpponentSwitch: Against the PsychoRangers. Surprisingly, it doesn't work. The Psycho Rangers merely defeat the Ranger they're currently fighting, and then go and wipe the floor with their actual opponent. The Rangers only pull this off after making their uniforms all the same color, and even then, it barely works.
* OrphansPlotTrinket: Andros' locket
* ParentalAbandonment: The Rangers, despite still being high school students (early episodes of this season even go by showing the five, except Andros, still attending Angel Grove High), apparently lived on board the Megaship. One would have to wonder about their parents and/or guardians thinking where EXACTLY they were the whole time.
** Which leads nicely into making you wonder just how much of space could they explore looking for Zordon if they had to be within reach of Earth for school 5 days a week?
* PhlebotinumBomb: Zordon's energy wave
* PragmaticAdaptation: The themes of the source footage, DenjiSentaiMegaranger, revolved around high ([[TechnologyMarchesOn at the time]]) technology and gadgets. The story was more akin to ''TheLastStarfighter'' with regards to the plot, and while there were space vehicles there wasn't much actual space travel involved. Liberties were taken, to say the least.
** A case of DidNotDoTheResearch or similar for that one: WordOfGod says that the space theme was chosen because the early footage they had of Megaranger had them think it was a space based season, when they got the truth and the filming had already begun all the space surfing scenes had to be added in to make it work.
* PsychicPowers, specifically MindOverMatter: Andros
** PstandardPsychicPstance: He uses the "gesture at what you're affecting" variant.
* ThePsychoRangers: TropeNamer.
* RocketPunch: The [[HumongousMecha [=AstroDelta=] Megazord]]'s finishing move.
* SassyBlackWoman: Adelle
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Andros and Zhane.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Bulk and Skull get a massive reduction in screen time, but make up for it with a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
* ShoutOut: A few to StarTrek and StarWars, including a holodeck and numerous random lines, such as T.J. saying that they're going down to a planet on the Dagobah system to search for Zordon.
** The Quantrons are armed with Bat'leths.
* SkySurfing: "Galaxy Glider, hang ten!"
* SpoilerOpening: Averted in the first episode. In order to hide their identities, the first episode's opening omits Andros and includes Divatox instead of Astronema, implying that she would be returning as the season's villain.
* TheStarscream: Two of 'em. First, Darkonda establishes the oft-repeated "one loyal henchman, one treacherous henchman" dynamic between himself and Ecliptor. Then, ''Astronema'' plots to overthrow Dark Specter (an ambition she'd never had before reforming and then being reprogrammed. Apparently, you can brainwash someone ''[[GoneHorriblyRight too well]].'') [[spoiler: That's actually what the Psycho Rangers were ''really'' for.]]
** Though in the end, Darkonda was the successful one. After all, he's the one who [[spoiler: destroys Dark Specter]].
* StormingTheCastle
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Alpha Six was retooled in this season to be Alpha Five [[{{Expy}} in all but name]]. VocalEvolution played a big role, trading in the annoying [[BigApplesauce Noo]] [[AmericanAccents Yawk]] accent of Catherine Battistone to [[CuteShotaroBoy cute little brother]][[CrossDressingVoices -ish]] vocals of WendeeLee.
* SwissArmyTears: Used in the finale to [[spoiler: bring Karone back to life, and revert her cyborg modifications.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Dark Specter to Darkonda.]]
* TheBusCameBack[=/=]TenMinuteRetirement: Justin and Adam
* ToTheBatpole
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Cassie and Ashley, again.
* TrojanPrisoner
* TronLines: Ecliptor
* TropesInSpace: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Well, obviously.]]
** BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: At least they've been consistent with this throughout.
** FrictionlessReentry: Averted for RuleOfCool: The Megaship transforms in space and then drops out of orbit to fight the MonsterOfTheWeek, so it's able to enter the battlefield with a ''flaming shield''!
** HolodeckMalfunction: in an early episode
** HumanAliens: Andros, Zhane, and [[spoiler: Karone]], though pretty much every non-RubberForeheadAlien from the last five seasons who occasionally show up count too.
*** Lampshaded by the Earth Rangers when they first meet Andros, who handwaves it with "Humans live more places than just Earth, you know."
** NumberedHomeworld: KO-35.
** TelepathicSpacemen[=/=]HumansArePsychicInTheFuture: Andros, though he's telekinetic instead of telepathic. And he's not from the future, either.
* TheUnmasking: in the finale
* WhamEpisode: "The Secret of the Locket."
* WordSaladLyrics: The onscreen text in the morphing sequence. Something about the puppy canoe of hope.
* {{World-Healing Wave}}: [[spoiler: The point of Zordon's HeroicSacrifice.]]
* XanatosRoulette: Technically Zordon didn't plan for every possible event, he was just CrazyPrepared enough and hoped the Rangers used it to their advantage.
* YouLookFamiliar: A costume version. Dark Specter was a reuse of the elaborate Maligore costume from ''Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie''. Acknowledged by Divatox in the season premiere.
** All the stranger when you consider Maligore was a demon the size of a Megazord at his biggest and Dark Specter is the size of an entire PLANET. He's also seen to shapeshift, which makes you wonder why he picked someone so many magnitudes of power weaker than himself to impersonate.
*** Because Maligore [[RuleOfScary looks scary]]. Besides, maybe they're related.
*** Maligore is probably Dark Specter's long lost sister. This hasn't been done, right?
*** Well, that'd make the marriage between Divatox and Maligore [[LesYay much more interesting]].

->''"Let's Rocket!"''
The sixth season of ''PowerRangers'', adapted from ''DenjiSentaiMegaranger''. Managing to save the series from cancellation, this is frequently cited as one of the best, if not ''the'' best, seasons of the franchise. For the first time, the series introduced a heavily serialized plot that built from episode to episode, featuring strong themes, characterizations and coming to an epic climax that gives a degree of finality to the previous six seasons. It also eschewed the BlackAndWhiteMorality that was prominent in previous seasons by featuring morally conflicted heroes and sympathetic villains, also including three reunion episodes and plenty of cameos that kept the continuity extremely tight.
[[PowerRangersTurbo The Turbo Rangers]] ([[KousokuSentaiTurboranger Not THOSE Turborangers]]) were beaten by Divatox, only surviving when she was called away to a meeting of the [[PowerRangersZeo United Alliance of Evil.]] Even though defeated, once the Rangers and Alpha Six learned of Zordon's capture by the ruler Dark Specter they decided to chase after them. By what seems to be an accident, they meet up with Andros, a lone Red Ranger determined to stop the Alliance and rescue his missing sister. The former Turbo Rangers convince him of their worth and he shares his morphers and join their group, becoming the Space Rangers. Alpha reveals that Zordon had prepared many contingency plans in case this should happen, and now the Rangers are the best chance the galaxy has.
Meanwhile Astronema, the Princess of Evil, is sent to Earth to deal with this new set of Rangers by Dark Specter. While technically Dark Specter is the BigBad and Astronema is [[TheDragon second-in-command]], Dark Specter remains in a ManBehindTheMan position for the entire series and against the Rangers Astronema serves as the DragonInChief. Along the way we're introduced to the NobleDemon Ecliptor, the [[TropeNamer titular]] PsychoRangers and CardCarryingVillain Darkonda.
The climax of six years' worth of plot and villains, the series was a phenomenal hit and restored faith in Power Rangers. With the resolution of the ongoing plot, the slate had to be wiped clean for ''PowerRangersLostGalaxy'' as they went on to a new adventure unrelated to the events of the prior series, altough if you consider [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara's]] opinion, it's possible that the events of ''In Space'' had a great impact in the whole "search for a new home" plot.
----
!!Recurring ''Power Rangers'' tropes include:
* BigBad: Astronema
** BiggerBad: Dark Specter
* ChestInsignia: Team logos - three triangles arranged as a rectangle - on the belts. There were also personal symbols on the helmet forehead, but they were only visible when they lit up.
** The helmet insignias tended not to be shown, as they were pieces of technology like computers or phones, an [[TheArtifact Artifact]] left over from the tech-based ''Megaranger''.
* CityOfAdventure: Angel Grove, though the Rangers also traveled all over the galaxy.
* TheDragon: CoDragons Ecliptor and Darkonda
* FiveTokenBand: Caucasian Red and Yellow Rangers, a Latino Black Ranger, an African-American Blue Ranger, and an Asian Pink Ranger.
** But Andros is an alien so we have five different races.
* HomeBase: the Astro Megaship
* HumongousMecha
** CombiningMecha
** TransformingMecha: the Astro and Delta Megaships, the Mega Winger
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Aside from the usual "Red Ranger gets everything" factor, this was the show that introduced the Battlizer and all other subsequent powered-up Red Rangers.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Accomplished through "Satellasers".
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Vaguely defined "aliens" that don't seem to share any singular origin. In fact, it's rarely even mentioned where they come from, simply appearing when the plot calls for it, and only occasionally being interviewed by Astronema before being sent. This is especially jarring, given how many of said monsters are based on Earth animals.
* {{Mooks}}: Quantrons
* NeverSayDie: Subverted a couple of times. Specifically, see InfantImmortality. And while the word was never stated, there is ''no'' question what happened to [[spoiler: Zordon.]]
** Actually, in the InfantImmortality subversion, the doctor Carlos and Ashely meet explicitly says that Silvy's brother "died a couple months ago". So it's actually averted in this particular case.
* {{Recycled IN SPACE}}!: Subverted quite a bit despite the title; as the move to outer space brought a number of format changes.
* SuperMode: This season was the first to introduce the "Battlizer" Red Ranger upgrade, which has continued to almost all following seasons (surprisingly this is an American creation, ''Megaranger'' had the Battlizer gadget, but it didn't have a SuperMode function). Interestingly, Megaranger actually had a team SuperMode in the NonSerialMovie, where the core five donned golden torso armor, but this was not brought over to Power Rangers.
* WeaponOfChoice:
** BifurcatedWeapon: Astro Blasters (can be split into two laser guns)
** HeroesPreferSwords: Andros' Spiral Saber, though you could be forgiven for thinking that ThisIsADrill.
** SimpleStaff: Carlos' Lunar Lance
** AnAxeToGrind: T.J.'s Astro Axe
** BratsWithSlingshots: Ashley's Star Slinger
** HandCannon: Cassie's Satellite Stunner
** SwissArmyWeapon: Zhane's Super Silverizer
* WordPower:
** {{Invocation}}: "Let's Rocket!"
!!This subseries contains examples of:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The Rangers' weapons: Lunar Lance, Spiral Saber, Astro Axe, Satellite Stunner, Star Slinger and Super Silverizer.
** Also the Galaxy Gliders.
* AntiVillain: Ecliptor is quite possibly the most likeable villain in the history of PowerRangers. As it turns out he's noble and only does what he does because he's incredibly loyal to Astronema (almost like a father to her). When Astronema breaks out of her initial brainwashing and tries to become good, Ecliptor tries to join her, but they're both put under heavier brainwashing afterwards, but he remains as loyal as ever to her.
* ArentYouForgettingSomeone?: The Turbo Rangers get ready to return to Earth, but fail to realize that they left Alpha on the Astro Megaship.
* AsteroidsMonster
* BabyCarriage: in "Silence Is Golden"
* BadassBookworm: T.J. While a former Red Ranger and leader of the team, he was the only one who figured out a way to combat the PsychoRangers.
* BadGuyBar: There's one present on the planet Onyx, full of {{Mooks}} and [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] from the various seasons.
* BarBrawl
* BastardUnderstudy: Astronema. AFTER Dark Specter brainwashed her.
* TheBeard: "Grandma Matchmaker" in which Ashley asks Carlos to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to get her granny to stop smothering her.
* BigDamnHeroes: Justin and Storm Blaster ''drive through the door of a warehouse'' to free the Rangers, who are seconds from eating the business end of the {{Monster Of The Week}}'s cannon.
** Bulk and Skull of all people do this in the finale.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: They fail. The Power Rangers fail. They survive, yes, and the galaxy is free, but it wasn't the Rangers' doing. The BigBad only died because TheStarscream stabbed him in the back with a planetbuster missile, and the battle was only won because Zordon, the father figure to them all, [[HeroicSacrifice paid the ultimate price]].]]

* BrainwashedAndCrazy
* CareBearStare: Zordon's energy wave
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Andros' and Astronema's lockets.]]

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Happens to Lt. Stone and the Juice Bar; replaced by Adelle and the Surf Spot
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Defied during the StoryArc with the PsychoRangers, T.J. figured that by homogenizing all their colors and uniforms they could confuse the Psycho Rangers enough to get an advantage (the Psychos had developed themselves to be the {{rival}} to their color counterpart, while individually they are pretty powerful their obsession with their counterpart made the costume/color switch unbearable).
** This specific color combination (red/black/blue/yellow/pink) won't appear again until ''Operation Overdrive''.

* LargeHam: Melody Perkins, depending on the wig. Until she's [[spoiler: {{brainwashed}}]], anyway...
** She does a fairly impressive job of suppressing it during her [[spoiler: brief]] HeelFaceTurn, though.
* LegionOfDoom: the United Alliance of Evil
* LetsGetDangerous: Alpha 6 and D.E.C.A, the RobotBuddy and the CoolStarship, utterly humiliate Ecliptor in "The Impenetrable Web".
** Ahem, "Countdown to Destruction Part 2" anyone? There's a reason the IAmSpartacus scene is not only the CrowningMomentofAwesome for Bulk and Skull, but for the entire series in general.
* LightningCanDoAnything: Zhane recharges his morpher by having it struck by lightning.
* LosingYourHead: Ecliptor
* LoveTriangle: Zhane becomes fairly friendly with Ashley, which causes some jealousy from Andros.
* LuckyTranslation: The use of "Megazord" as the name for the franchise's HumongousMecha really pays off here, thanks to the source series being called ''Megaranger''. This meant that most of the mecha weren't renamed at all for ''In Space'', because there was no need.
** Renaming Mega Voyager would've actually caused problems, as the name was written in the cockpit in plain sight. Likewise, Mega Winger's cockpit had "Mega W" written on it. Delta Mega simply had Zord added to the end of the name, while Galaxy Mega was renamed Astro Megazord, but the name Galaxy Megazord was used [[PowerRangersLostGalaxy next season]] instead.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Astronema is really Andros' sister, Karone.]]
* MagicCountdown: Draining Zordon of energy, the visual effect is visibly moving in every episode he is in, yet it should overtake him before the end of the next commercial break.
* MaximumFunChamber: "playing with Scrudley"
* MistakenForDying: Zhane, when the other Rangers hear his time is limited, but don't catch it only applies to his HourOfPower.
* MoralityDial: Used on the Delta Megazord in "The Great Evilizer".
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Inverted between Ecliptor and Karone. She was his boss but when she did a HeelFaceTurn, he couldn't find it in him to fight against her.]]
* MulticoloredHair: Andros: black and blond stripes
* {{My Name Is Not|Durwood}} [[strike:Durwood]] [[MyNameIsNotDurwood Frieda]]: ''It's Rita!''
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Andros to Zhane, only realized after the fact.
* NighInvulnerable: Dark Specter. In the finale [[spoiler: [[TheStarscream Darkonda]] steals two planet-destroying weapons. One he plans to use on Dark Specter and the other on the Dark Fortress (where Astronema and Ecliptor are). He fires one at Dark Specter who goes down... and then promptly ''gets back up''. It takes wasting the one intended for the Dark Fortress, fired directly down Specter's throat, to put him down for good, and he still manages to hang on long enough to eat the aforementioned Darkonda alive.]]
* NobleDemon: Ecliptor
* NoOntologicalInertia: A shape-shifting monster makes Astronema look like Ashley, after which the real Ashley is kidnapped. To escape, she tricks the monster into giving her Astronema's body, and then returns to help the other Rangers destroy it. Luckily, when she takes her helmet off she's back to normal, the monster's spells having been broken by its death.
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: The Interstellar Scanner.
* OfficialCouple: Ashley and Andros
* OpponentSwitch: Against the PsychoRangers. Surprisingly, it doesn't work. The Psycho Rangers merely defeat the Ranger they're currently fighting, and then go and wipe the floor with their actual opponent. The Rangers only pull this off after making their uniforms all the same color, and even then, it barely works.
* OrphansPlotTrinket: Andros' locket
* ParentalAbandonment: The Rangers, despite still being high school students (early episodes of this season even go by showing the five, except Andros, still attending Angel Grove High), apparently lived on board the Megaship. One would have to wonder about their parents and/or guardians thinking where EXACTLY they were the whole time.
** Which leads nicely into making you wonder just how much of space could they explore looking for Zordon if they had to be within reach of Earth for school 5 days a week?
* PhlebotinumBomb: Zordon's energy wave
* PragmaticAdaptation: The themes of the source footage, DenjiSentaiMegaranger, revolved around high ([[TechnologyMarchesOn at the time]]) technology and gadgets. The story was more akin to ''TheLastStarfighter'' with regards to the plot, and while there were space vehicles there wasn't much actual space travel involved. Liberties were taken, to say the least.
** A case of DidNotDoTheResearch or similar for that one: WordOfGod says that the space theme was chosen because the early footage they had of Megaranger had them think it was a space based season, when they got the truth and the filming had already begun all the space surfing scenes had to be added in to make it work.
* PsychicPowers, specifically MindOverMatter: Andros
** PstandardPsychicPstance: He uses the "gesture at what you're affecting" variant.
* ThePsychoRangers: TropeNamer.
* RocketPunch: The [[HumongousMecha [=AstroDelta=] Megazord]]'s finishing move.
* SassyBlackWoman: Adelle
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Andros and Zhane.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Bulk and Skull get a massive reduction in screen time, but make up for it with a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
* ShoutOut: A few to StarTrek and StarWars, including a holodeck and numerous random lines, such as T.J. saying that they're going down to a planet on the Dagobah system to search for Zordon.
** The Quantrons are armed with Bat'leths.
* SkySurfing: "Galaxy Glider, hang ten!"
* SpoilerOpening: Averted in the first episode. In order to hide their identities, the first episode's opening omits Andros and includes Divatox instead of Astronema, implying that she would be returning as the season's villain.
* TheStarscream: Two of 'em. First, Darkonda establishes the oft-repeated "one loyal henchman, one treacherous henchman" dynamic between himself and Ecliptor. Then, ''Astronema'' plots to overthrow Dark Specter (an ambition she'd never had before reforming and then being reprogrammed. Apparently, you can brainwash someone ''[[GoneHorriblyRight too well]].'') [[spoiler: That's actually what the Psycho Rangers were ''really'' for.]]
** Though in the end, Darkonda was the successful one. After all, he's the one who [[spoiler: destroys Dark Specter]].
* StormingTheCastle
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Alpha Six was retooled in this season to be Alpha Five [[{{Expy}} in all but name]]. VocalEvolution played a big role, trading in the annoying [[BigApplesauce Noo]] [[AmericanAccents Yawk]] accent of Catherine Battistone to [[CuteShotaroBoy cute little brother]][[CrossDressingVoices -ish]] vocals of WendeeLee.
* SwissArmyTears: Used in the finale to [[spoiler: bring Karone back to life, and revert her cyborg modifications.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Dark Specter to Darkonda.]]
* TheBusCameBack[=/=]TenMinuteRetirement: Justin and Adam
* ToTheBatpole
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Cassie and Ashley, again.
* TrojanPrisoner
* TronLines: Ecliptor
* TropesInSpace: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Well, obviously.]]
** BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: At least they've been consistent with this throughout.
** FrictionlessReentry: Averted for RuleOfCool: The Megaship transforms in space and then drops out of orbit to fight the MonsterOfTheWeek, so it's able to enter the battlefield with a ''flaming shield''!
** HolodeckMalfunction: in an early episode
** HumanAliens: Andros, Zhane, and [[spoiler: Karone]], though pretty much every non-RubberForeheadAlien from the last five seasons who occasionally show up count too.
*** Lampshaded by the Earth Rangers when they first meet Andros, who handwaves it with "Humans live more places than just Earth, you know."
** NumberedHomeworld: KO-35.
** TelepathicSpacemen[=/=]HumansArePsychicInTheFuture: Andros, though he's telekinetic instead of telepathic. And he's not from the future, either.
* TheUnmasking: in the finale
* WhamEpisode: "The Secret of the Locket."
* WordSaladLyrics: The onscreen text in the morphing sequence. Something about the puppy canoe of hope.
* {{World-Healing Wave}}: [[spoiler: The point of Zordon's HeroicSacrifice.]]
* XanatosRoulette: Technically Zordon didn't plan for every possible event, he was just CrazyPrepared enough and hoped the Rangers used it to their advantage.
* YouLookFamiliar: A costume version. Dark Specter was a reuse of the elaborate Maligore costume from ''Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie''. Acknowledged by Divatox in the season premiere.
** All the stranger when you consider Maligore was a demon the size of a Megazord at his biggest and Dark Specter is the size of an entire PLANET. He's also seen to shapeshift, which makes you wonder why he picked someone so many magnitudes of power weaker than himself to impersonate.
*** Because Maligore [[RuleOfScary looks scary]]. Besides, maybe they're related.
*** Maligore is probably Dark Specter's long lost sister. This hasn't been done, right?
*** Well, that'd make the marriage between Divatox and Maligore [[LesYay much more interesting]].
