* UnintentionallySympathetic: Ecliptor's death in the finale. He was a NobleDemon throughout the series who despite his villainy showed that he would support Astronema even when she chose to turn her back on evil. Then he was turned into a cyborg with most of the good in him purged. Many fans felt that he deserved to be purified along with the other villains in the finale rather than killed, especially since past villains like Zedd and Rita got to live despite also being unrepentant villains and having much longer rapsheets of villainy than him.

Even still, after finding Astronema's fallen body next to Andros, he immediately became mournful towards her, even reaching out to her in his final moments before the Z-Wave killed him, showing that there was still some good in him.

* CreepyAwesome: While Astronema didn't start out as this, she definitely became one after Dark Specter brainwashed her. Not only does she deliver her lines in more ColdHam, but with the exception of the Psycho Rangers being defeated, she never complained about her plans failing, always finding a plan B. Like while she didn't get to trap the rangers and citizens of Angel Grove into data cards, she was able to get the Psycho Rangers back in there.

* DesignatedMonkey: Ecliptor's death in the finale turned him into this. The fact he died in spite his redeeming traits, and his worst act being done after he was converted into a cyborg, while Lord Zedd, Rita and Divatox were purified and got live (the former two having a much longer rap sheet of on screen villainy than Ecliptor) caused fans to see his death as unfair.

** Ecliptor being killed by the Z Wave could count as this. Despite being created solely to be evil, he had shown a loyalty to Astromena, and was only evil in the finale due to being brainwashed by Dark Specter. Meanwhile, Zedd, Rita, and Divatox were purified by the Wave, [[spoiler: with Rita going on to become, of all things, the [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Mother]]]], despite them all having been shown as unrepentant in their villainy in previous seasons. Not only that, but what about Squatt, Baboo, Finster, Klank, Orbus and Porto- all of whom were not really villainous, so did they get turned human too or were they turned into sand as well? (Kinda justified, because that whole bit was imposed by the Fox Kids censors.)
