     Saba 

Saba

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_saba.png
"White Tigerzord, Tiger Mode! Battle ready now!"
Voiced by: Tony Oliver
Saba was an enchanted saber created by Zordon and Alpha 5 to act as not only the personal weapon of the White Ranger, but also his advisor. Capable of speaking, flying, and firing lasers from his eyes, Saba was also a key component in commanding the White Tiger Thunderzord, and did everything he could to assist Tommy through his fights against Lord Zedd's evil forces.
  • Absurdly Sharp Blade: Saba's blade was capable of slicing the legendary Zeo Crystal into five sub-crystals.
  • Advertising-Only Continuity: He's referred to as "Saba the Talking Tiger Saber" on the boxes of both the original Bandai toy as well as the more recent Bandai Legacy toy. This full title was never spoken in the show itself, though.
  • And I Must Scream: Potentially; it depends on whether or not the Saba seen in the White Ranger's display case in the Power Chamber was the real deal or just a replica.
  • The Artifact: Saba made the transition into Season 3, even though Tommy's powers at that point no longer came from the White Tiger, but rather the Falcon. Saba spoke much less in Season 3 than he did in Season 2, as well.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Season 2's "Best Man for the Job" is the only time a plot actually centers around Saba as a character.
  • Exclusive Enemy Equipment: The Ranger-half of the plot in "Best Man for the Job" involves Rita stealing Saba from Tommy, allowing her to use not only the saber against the Rangers, but the Tigerzord as well.
  • Eye Beams: He's capable of firing lasers from his eyes. In the show they're white and sparkly, while in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie they're thin and red.
  • Finishing Move: He was capable of charging his blade with electricity, able to kill monsters with only a slash or two.
    • He's used to finish the fight with the Ooze Men in MMPR:TM, using his eye beams to cut a chain which drops a large dumpster onto the remaining mooks, killing them all in one go.
  • Flying Weapon: Saba was perfectly capable of separating from Tommy and hovering about, attacking on his own.
  • Great White Feline: He was created as the weapon of the White Tiger Ranger and the white, feline head on the end of his hilt reflects this.
  • I Am Very British: He speaks with an English accent.
  • I'm Okay!: In "Fourth Down and Long," after the Rangers have been returned to normal after being turned into footballs by Centiback, Tommy asks if everyone's okay. After they all confirm that they are, Saba offers a slightly annoyed "I'm fine, too."
  • Impossibly Cool Weapon: He's a flying, talking tiger-themed sword that shoots lasers and controls a giant, transforming tiger robot.
  • Living Weapon: Whether he's actually alive or it's just really advanced A.I., Saba is very much aware and sentient, capable of bickering with Tommy or calling out for help when captured by Goldar and Rita.
  • Magical Weapon: Alpha refers to him as an enchanted saber when presenting him to Tommy.
  • Magic from Technology: As with a lot of Zordon's creations, it's not entirely apparent if Saba is actually magic, if he's just really advanced technology, or a bit of both.
  • My Greatest Failure: In "A Ranger Catastrophe Part II," just as it looks like Goldar and Rito are about to finish Tommy off once and for all, Saba laments "White Ranger, I'm afraid I've failed you. I can see no way out of our present situation." Depressingly, this would be Saba's final line of dialogue.
  • Odd Couple: He and Tommy have a bit of this dynamic at first, bickering with each other as they have a rocky start off to controlling the White Tigerzord.
  • Retractable Weapon: Saba's blade is capable of extending and retracting.
  • Sole Survivor: He's the only of the Rangers' Power Weapons to survive the destruction of the original Power Coins and be carried over to the Ninja Powers.
  • Summon to Hand: In "A Ranger Catastrophe Part II," when he's cornered by Goldar and Rito and Saba is laying clear on the other side of the cave they're in, Tommy holds his hand out and calls to his weapon, who immediately flies to him.
  • Sword Beam: He can fire beams from his eyes as well as deliver energized slashes with his blade.
  • Talking Weapon: As mentioned before, he speaks in a wise-sounding English accent.
  • Throwing Your Sword Always Works: In a duel to the death against Lord Zedd himself, Tommy wins the fight by hurling Saba at him. Zedd blocks the blow with his Z-Staff, but Saba's blade is enough to destroy the staff and revert it to the python it was originally created out of, causing Zedd to retreat.
  • The Voiceless: Saba doesn't get any dialogue in MMPR:TM, nor in his appearances in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, Power Rangers Super Megaforce, or Power Rangers Ninja Steel.

     Dulcea 

Dulcea

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_dulcea.png
"To those who are Ninjetti, anything is possible."
Portrayed by: Gabrielle Fitzpatrick
The master warrior of planet Phaedos who initially guides the Rangers on their quest to find the Great Power so they can save Zordon and defeat Ivan Ooze. She awakens their animal spirits before leaving the team to go obtain the power themselves.
  • Action Girl: Knocked around the Tengu Warriors when the Rangers proved completely defenseless against them and she was able to drive the birds off by rotating her detachable staff. If that wasn't enough, she pinned Tommy down without blinking an eye.
  • All There in the Script: According to earlier drafts, her race, the Nathadians arrived on Phaedos from another time and dimension and brought the Great Power with them. Dulcea is the only one of her kind remaining and was the only one to truly understand the Great Power's secrets. At some point, she joined with Zordon and other young warriors to form "the Order of the Meledon" where they fought many a foe, including Ivan Ooze. When Ivan was imprisoned and the Order was dissolved, Dulcea returned to Phaedos and hadn't heard from Zordon in centuries until the Rangers came around. This makes her reaction to Zordon's name more understandable.
  • Animorphism: Once she's informed the Rangers of their animal spirits and given them their Ninjetti attire, Dulcea transforms into a barn owl and flies away. We later see her watching them from a distance as they teleport back to Earth.
  • Armor-Piercing Response: Done twice in the same conversation in the same scene. When Dulcea demands that the Rangers vacate the planet immediately, Aisha mentions "Our leader Zordon—" Hearing the name immediately snaps Dulcea out of her anger. When she asks what has become of Zordon, Rocky informs her that he's been attacked by Ivan Ooze. That really lets her know how bad the situation is and she immediately begins helping the Rangers.
  • Bifurcated Weapon: Dulcea not only possesses a staff as her main weapon, she can also seperate it into two smaller staffs, which produce a painful sound attack when spun.
  • Brown Note: The whistling sound generated by Duclea twirling her seperated staff halves clearly cause the Tengu Warriors some serious pain when they hear it.
  • Chainmail Bikini: Her outfit doesn't hide much but just teeters the line between Ms. Fanservice and Stripperiffic.
  • The Dreaded: Upon hearing that Ivan is on the loose again, she lets out a horrified "Ivan Ooze is free?!"
  • Foil: To Ivan Ooze. Whereas Ivan is as evil as they come and acts as a Friend to All Children for the sake of furthering his plans, Dulcea is a benevolent warrior but does not treat outsiders with open arms, usually telling them off for being "unworthy" for their own good.
  • Good Is Not Nice: Her initial deposition towards the Rangers, seeing them as yet more pretenders to the Great Power. She changes her tune after Aisha mentions Zordon.
  • Humans Are Ugly: When describing their assailant to Ivan Ooze, the Tengu Warriors refer to Dulcea as a monster rather than a human-looking woman.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In contrast to Ninjor's Secret Test of Character her initial hostility towards the team seems genuine with her deriding them as foolish children who are unworthy of the Ninjetti powers. Upon hearing Zordon sent them coupled with Ivan being freed, she softens right away and starts treating them like the heroes they are.
  • Last of Her Kind: If the script is anything to go by.
  • Martial Arts Staff: Besides being useful for fighting the Tengu, her staff can be split into two shorter staffs which produce a high-pitched noise when twirled around.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Most remember her fondly for this. Steve Cardenas (Rocky) and Jason Narvy (Skull) both said in their own ways that she was a way to get kids' dads to come back and see the movie again.
  • Mysterious Past: No details about her relationship with Zordon or Ivan Ooze are given in the final cut. See All There in the Script for more.
  • Nails on a Blackboard: How the Tengu Warriors describe the sound of Dulcea's twirling staffs to Ivan Ooze.
  • No Immortal Inertia: She can't accompany the Rangers to the Ninjetti Monolith because it would cause her to "age rapidly." It isn't elaborated on why or if maybe Ivan had something to do with it.
  • Nubile Savage: That outfit was sexy to the point parents complained it was a little too sexy for children's eyes. The skirt was made from thicker-than-normal fabric so that nothing too risque was shown.
  • Oh, Crap!: She stops being confrontational with the Rangers the instant she hears that Ivan Ooze has returned, telling them "If we don't hurry, your planet is doomed."
  • Opening Monologue: She reads aloud the Star Wars-esque prologue at the beginning, detailing the premise of the movie for those who either hadn't seen or kept up with the TV series.
  • Original Generation: She only exists in the movie whereas her role in the TV series was replaced by Ninjor.
  • Pet the Dog: She comforts Adam about being depressed over his spirit animal:
    Dulcea: "Adam? Adam, what's wrong?"
    Adam: "I'm a frog."
    Dulcea: "Yes, a frog. Like the one you kiss—"
    She kisses his forehead.
    Dulcea: "—to get a handsome prince."
  • Rapid Aging: She claims this would happen if she ever stepped foot beyond the plateau overlooking the Monolith containing the Great Power. No reason is ever established.
  • Really 700 Years Old: While nothing new for this franchise, Dulcea is notable as she apparently has some condition that would age her if she ever approached the Monolith that contains the Great Power. It's never made clear if this was due to a curse that Ivan placed on her or if it was the Great Power punishing her for trying to take what she was never destined to possess. The latter would explain why she became so disillusioned with the thought of anyone ever actually obtaining the Ninjetti powers plus her initial distrust of the Rangers.
  • Redhead In Green: She has light auburn hair and her outfit is entirely green.
  • Sexy Mentor: For a brief time, anyway.
  • Statuesque Stunner: Her height combined with that outfit definitely qualifies her.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Can turn into a barn owl seemingly at will. She remains in this form after inducing the Rangers' spirit animals and seeing them off once they obtain the Great Power, wishing them luck. Some theorize that the owl is her spirit animal.

     Ninjor 

Ninjor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_ninjor.png
"Evil makes me so ANGRY!"
Battle Mode
Voiced by: Kim Strauss, José Luis Orozco (Latin American Spanish)
After the Rangers' dinosaur powers were destroyed by Rito Revolto, Zordon directed them to Ninjor, the true creator of the Power Coins. After they discovered him residing in the Lost Temple of Ninja Power, he would go on to give them new Ninja Power Coins, Zords, and abilities while helping them out along the way.
  • Adaptation Personality Change: Whereas Ninjaman took being a Hot-Blooded Idiot Hero to new heights, Ninjor is a capable if somewhat aloof mentor figure. He's still quite silly in his own way, however.
  • Ambiguous Robots: It's never stated whether Ninjor is some type of living robot, or if he's an unseen warrior wearing a suit of armor.
  • Badass in Distress: He really deserves the title badass, as his strength seems to be on par with a Megazord, even single-handedly curb-stomping the much hyped-up lethal Vampirus monster. Unfortunately, he gets abducted by Zedd and Rita for several episodes.
  • Determinator: At first, it looks like Vampirus has Ninjor down and out when he's trapped in the monster's Pocket Dimension. But as he lays seemingly helpless on the ground, Ninjor declares that he cannot let Zedd's forces win, and he proceeds to get up, transform into Battle Mode, and lay a smackdown on Vampirus so hard that they bust out of his pocket dimension and return to the Desert of Despair.
  • Eccentric Mentor: He's a bit more of a goofball than Zordon, and isn't above taunting his foes and using ninja trickery in combat.
  • Everything's Better with Samurai: His Super Mode is a samurai instead of a ninja. It is quite the contrast.
  • Finishing Move: While his default form has none, his Battle Mode has two.
    • Kamehamehadoken: His main finishing attack, he generates a red energy orb in his hands and hurls it at his foe.
    • Laser Blade: Used only once against Centiback, he energizes the blade of his naginata weapon for a lethal double slash.
  • Greater-Scope Paragon: As the creator of the original Power Coins and Dino Zords, Ninjor is responsible for giving our heroes their powers long before he was even introduced. The fact that he also gave the Alien Rangers their Battle Borgs (if not their Power Coins as well) means that he's been a benefactor for the side of good for quite some time.
  • Gretzky Has the Ball: In "Fourth Down and Long," Ninjor says that football is his favorite sport, what with the home runs and baskets... He later attempts to threaten Centiback by telling him it's "fifth and down" for him, only for Rocky to correct him that the term is "fourth and long."
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: A mild example, since his only jerkish moment occurs in his very first appearance. He initially refuses to help the Rangers gain their new powers and appears totally indifferent to the danger the world is in, but upon realizing that they're genuine, he becomes a steadfast ally.
  • Katanas Are Just Better: Ninjor's weapon of choice is a katana he keeps stored on his back. In Battle Mode, Ninjor can combine his katana with its sheathe to form a naginata.
  • Large Ham: Literally - He can grow to fight alongside Megazords and has an outsized personality to match.
  • Long Bus Trip: He stopped appearing after "The Sound of Dischordia" due to the use of the Orb of Doom in "Rangers in Reverse." In "A Zeo Beginning Part II," it was stated he was "back in the temple." He hasn't been seen since.note 
  • Ninja: As his name suggests, he is themed after a ninja. He is also the creator of the Ninja Zords and associated powers.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Ninjor was always more than happy to run head first into a fight with the forces of evil, whether they be an ordinary monster like Vampirus or a massive threat like Master Vile. But in "Changing of the Zords Part I," for some reason, he's clearly nervous at the prospect of taking on Goldar in a fight. While we never find out why Goldar was the one opponent to make Ninjor hesitate, we quickly see he should've trusted his instincts; Goldar ends up beating Ninjor soundly and the ninja master ends up a captive of the villains for a good chunk of the remainder of the season.
  • The Reveal: For the first two seasons of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, it's more or less assumed that Zordon and Alpha created the Power Coins and Dino Zords (the fact that they created the Thunder Zords and the White Ranger in Season 2 helped to further this belief). But come "Ninja Quest Part II," Zordon reveals that the original Power Coins and Zords were in fact created by a legendary being known as Ninjor, and that he and Alpha simply found them after the fact.
  • Samurai: Despite his name, his Battle Mode is based on one of these. note 
  • Sealed Good in a Can: Toyed with, but ultimately averted. When the Rangers first encounter Ninjor in the Temple of Power, he's resting within a large blue vase, but it seems he's fully capable of leaving it whenever he wants.
    • Invoked properly later in the season once he's captured by Zedd and Rita. They keep Ninjor trapped in a jar until he's eventually freed by Rito dropping and breaking it.
  • Secret Test of Character: He puts the Rangers through a brief one of these when he first meets them to make sure they're not seeking the Ninja Powers out of greed.
  • Sixth Ranger: He often shows up to bail out the other Rangers (or sometimes the reverse).
  • Sizeshifter: Ninjor has the ability to change his size at will, able to make himself as large as a Megazord (which he refers to as "Ninjor Expansion Mode"), or small enough to fit within jars.
  • Super Mode: Once he's been sufficiently enraged, Ninjor transforms into a samurai-themed Battle Mode, gaining a new configuration for his armor, switches out his katana for a naginata, and gains two different finishing attacks.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He fills the same role Dulcea did in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie as the mentor who doesn't like the Rangers at first but ultimately grants them their Ninja Powers and Zords. Unlike Dulcea, though, he has his goofy moments and is also able to help the Rangers out beyond their initial encounter.
  • Technicolor Ninjas: He's a wise ninja master, yet he's also bright blue with shiny gold highlights.
  • Theme Music Power-Up: In "The Sound of Dischordia," the titular monster has Ninjor and the two Megazords effectively beaten, barely able to move and smoking. Then "Go Go Power Rangers" starts playing, and they all just... get up, seemingly dismissing the severe damage she'd inflicted on them up until that point.
  • Time Abyss: Ninjor is so old he's considered a myth by Zordon (who himself is well over 10,000 Years old).
  • Unstoppable Rage: It doesn't take much to tick him off when it comes to the forces of evil. Just the mere concept of evil is enough to infuriate him. Once he's angry enough, he puts that rage to good use and transforms into his Battle Mode, and from that point on it's usually bad news for whatever Monster of the Week he's fighting.
  • Vocal Dissonance: If you're not familiar with the character, take a good long look at that picture up there and make your best guess at what he sounds like when he speaks. You probably didn't guess Dudley Do-Right.

     The Alien Rangers of Aquitar 

The Alien Rangers of Aquitar

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_alienrangers.png
"Power of water! Power of light! Powers unite!"
Portrayed by: Raija Baroudi (Delphine), David Bacon (Aurico), Alan Palmer (Corcus), Karim Prince (Cestro), Jim Gray (Tideus)
Voiced by: Rebeca Manríquez (Delphine, Latin American Spanish), Carlos Enrique Bonilla (Aurico, Latin American Spanish), Fernando Manzano (Corcus, Latin American Spanish), Benjamín Rivera (Cestro, Latin American Spanish), Carlos Hugo Hidalgo, (Tideus, Latin American Spanish)
A team of Rangers from the planet Aquitar. They took up the task of defending Angel Grove while the Rangers were temporarily reverted to kids.
  • Adaptation Personality Change: Given that Kakuranger was a more tongue-in-cheek Sentainote , the Aquitians are considerably more restrained than their sometimes wacky counterparts. To list:
    • Sasuke was a slacker eager to show off in battle pre-Character Development whereas Aurico showcases none of that foolhardiness.
    • Tsuruhime was the leader like Delphine but tended to have some holier-than-thou moments towards her teammates in the beginning. Delphine has none of that drama and is patient and wise, though that may be due to the team's overall lack of over-the-top quirks to reign in unlike with Tsuruhime.
    • Saizo vs Cestro is arguably the most notable. The former was a Know-Nothing Know-It-All who was quick to panic whenever the rug was pulled from underneath him. The latter on the other hand is very much Aquitar's version of Billy and is calm and capable.
    • Seikai and Tideus are both the respective strongman of their teams, but Tideus is far less verbose (though not to the extent of Corcus) than his counterpart and lacks most of the vices that Seikai demonstrates outside of battle.
    • Jiraiya and Corcus are more difficult to break down due to Corcus' main lack of characterization. Basically, they're both the less verbose members of their respective teams but while Jiraiya's initial loner attitude stems from his lack of familiarity with the Japanese language and being unable to communicate effectively, Corcus just seems to be a genuine Spock. Alan Palmer theorizes that Corcus is the youngest of the Aliens and that he mainly mimics the others of his team to learn through experience rather than ask questions.
  • Adaptation Species Change: Their Kakuranger counterparts are humans, while the Aquitians are Rubber-Forehead Aliens.
  • Age Lift: Unlike the other Kakurangers, Tsuruhime was a teenager, while Delphine is an adult like the other Aquitar Rangers.
  • Aliens Speaking English: They're aliens who are already able to speak English.
  • The Baby of the Bunch: Corcus. According to his actor's theory, Corcus is simply the youngest and least experienced member who learns by silently following and mimicking the others. He can be a bit of a hothead in battle but rarely if ever takes part in group decisions.
  • Badass Bookworm: Cestro is both a scientific genius and a strong fighter.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Corcus may be the quietest of the group, but he's also often the most furious and hot-tempered fighter.
  • Big Eater: All of them devour an ice cream truck's full supply within hours if not minutes.
  • The Big Guy: Tideus is physically the strongest of the Alien Rangers.
  • Black and Nerdy: Cestro has dark skin and is The Smart Guy.
  • Blue Means Smart One: Like Billy, Cestro is both the Blue Ranger and The Smart Guy.
  • The Bus Came Back: They leave for home at the end of their miniseries but return for a team-up episode in Power Rangers Zeo and later take part in the final battle in Power Rangers in Space. Aurico returns once more and joins the rest of the Red Rangers in "Forever Red".
  • The Cape: They're every bit the heroes as their Earth counterparts, to the point of risking their lives just by being on Earth (due to the environment being extremely inhospitable to them and more or less actively killing them if they don't constantly rehydrate) to help the Rangers, simply because it's the right thing to do.
  • Character Tic: They have a strange habit of turning and cocking their heads in random directions for no apparent reason.
  • Decomposite Character: While their suits are based on the team of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, most of their mechs were given to the Zyuranger and Dairanger-based Power Rangers.
  • Fish out of Water: They have some trouble understanding and adjusting to how things work on Earth. In one episode, when Cestro and Tideus need to rehydrate, they think a car wash is like a restaurant drive-through.
  • Friend to All Living Things: When they see Bulk and Skull trying to catch fish to eat, they refuse to stand by and let the poor defenseless creatures suffer.
  • Gratuitous Ninja: The Alien Rangers are fishy Rubber-Forehead Aliens from a distant water planet called Aquitar, but their battle footage comes from Kakuranger, so it's full of Hand Seals, Flash Step, and other ninja tropes that defy the "Alien" theme.
  • Hero of Another Story: They were already an established Ranger team on Aquitar before being called to help Earth, complete with their own Big Bad in the Hydro Hog.
  • Law of Chromatic Superiority: Delphine may be the leader, but by proxy as the red ranger, Aurico just as often takes the center stage in battle and orders the others when utilizing their Battleborgs.
  • The Lancer: Aurico, Delphine's second in command. While she officially leads, plans, and gives orders, he often takes the front in battle.
  • The Leader: Delphine is the leader of the Alien Rangers, as well as the first female leader of any Ranger team.
  • Logical Weakness: Since they come from a world that is entirely made up of water, they need to stay hydrated constantly while on Earth or risk being severely weakened or even dying.
  • Making a Splash: Cestro's special attack, the "Aquitar Waterfall", is presented as a blast of water at the enemy.
  • Not So Above It All: Tideus takes his duty very seriously and doesn't emote a lot by Earth standards, but he's also a good-humored person who likes using foreign words to taunt his enemies.
  • Not So Stoic: Corcus is usually quiet outside of battle, but tends to get fired up when in the heat of it.
  • Older Than They Look: Implied, as their Eternal Falls has the power to make them look younger.
  • The Quiet One: Tideus and Corcus had few lines.
  • Rubber-Forehead Aliens: They're clearly human actors with prosthetic makeup applied to make them look like aliens. Delphine is the only one to have visible hair.
  • The Smart Guy: Cestro, the team's scientific and technological genius, just like his Earth counterpart Billy. He works with Billy to find a cure after the Rangers are regressed to kids.
  • The Stoic: Most of them tend to not emote much, at least by human standards.
  • The Smurfette Principle: Apart from being the leader, Delphine is the only female Ranger on the team.
  • Sweet Tooth: When they taste ice cream for the first time, they end up liking it so much that they eat the entire stock of a single ice cream truck.
  • Sword and Gun: Each of them carries an Aquitian Saber and an Aquitian Laser.
  • Telepathy: They all have telepathic powers, which they use to control the Battle Borgs, and they can receive messages from Zordon through their minds.

Battle Borgs

The Alien Ranger's Zords, created by Ninjor.
  • Finishing Move: The Red Battle Borg is launched as a fireball/comet through the enemy by all of the other Battle Borgs.
  • Motion-Capture Mecha: The Alien Rangers control them through their telepathy and movements on the ground, which are repeated in the Zord Fights.

Portrayed by: Henry Cannon
Voiced by: Mario Raúl López (Latin American Spanish, original version), Martín Soto (Latin American Spanish, remastered version)

The principal of Angel Grove High. He tends to alternate between Reasonable Authority Figure and Dean Bitterman roles.


  • Catchphrase: "Deeee-tention!" This one is especially uttered against Bulk and Skull.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: After a few scarce appearances in Zeo and Turbo, he up and vanished along with Miss Appleby and Lt. Stone.
  • Dean Bitterman: Sometimes just accidentally bumping into him is enough to warrant "deeee-tention!".
  • Demoted to Extra: Appeared semi-frequently in the first couple of seasons, his appearances were drastically limited from Season Three to his final outing near the end of Turbo.
  • Dodgy Toupee: Which mostly comes off when he is a victim of one of Bulk and Skull's stunts.
  • Not So Above It All: Joins in a food fight in "Return of an Old Friend". At first, he demanded Ms. Appleby to put a stop to it, but when she pushes a pie onto his head, he starts laughing gleefully and joins the food fight.
  • Only One Name: We never find out his first name.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Other times, he actually seems rather caring towards his students.

     Ms. Appleby 

Ms. Appleby

Portrayed by: Royce Herron

The nice and caring teacher of the Rangers' school class.


  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Her appearances were already wearing thin by the time she was dropped from the series during In Space.
  • Demoted to Extra: She had semi-frequent appearances in the first two seasons, but only appeared twice in the third and four times in between Zeo and Turbo.
  • Not So Above It All: Plays along with Bulk and Skulls antics sometimes. Most notably during the food fight in "Return of an Old Friend", where she pushes a pie onto Mr. Caplan's head.
  • Only One Name: Like Mr. Caplan, Miss Appleby's first name is unrevealed.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Shows interest in her students' hobbies and has a tremendous amount of patience regarding Bulk and Skull, even laughing at their antics sometimes. But when things do get out of hand, she is perfectly able to give out detentions, but not to the extent of Mr. Caplan.

Portrayed by: Paul Schrier (Bulk) and Jason Narvy (Skull); Cody Slaton (Bulk as a child) and Ross J. Samya (Skull as a child)
Voiced by: Carlos del Campo (Bulk, Latin American Spanish) and Roberto Carrillo (Skull, eps. 1-24, 26-67, 78, 79 and 82, Latin American Spanish), Jorge Ornelas (Skull, eps. 25, 68-77, 80, 81 and 83-145, Latin American Spanish), Eduardo Garza (Bulk, Latin American Spanish, remastered version), Bruno Coronel (Skull, Latin American Spanish, remastered version)

The comic relief duo of the series. Bulk and Skull start out as selfish bullies, whose schemes always seem to backfire. Later on, they turn to good-natured goofs with a genuine wish to help other people out. Bulk and Skull are notable for staying on the show for six seasons, which is more than even the longest-serving Ranger Tommy has done.

     Angela 

Angela

Portrayed by: Renee Griggs

A girl Zack crushes on in Season One, who usually brushes him off whenever he tries to impress her.


  • The Big Damn Kiss: With Zack at the end of "An Oyster Surprise", notable that it was the second and last time (after Tommy and Kimberly) a couple in this franchise ever did this before cheek-pecks and standard embraces became the order of the day.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Just disappeared after Season One ended. All the more bizarre since Zack was seemingly able to win her over completely by her last outing. It's also unknown if Angela ever found out that Zack eventually went to Switzerland.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: Or rather "Losing a Tug of War Means Romance", as she accepts Zack's invitation to go on a date after losing the Oddball Games.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Tends to give Zack the cold shoulder whenever he tries to flirt, even when he has the best of intentions. Once, she even dumps popcorn over his head after he takes too long coming back due to a monster attack. She seems to mostly grow out of it by her last couple of appearances.
  • Lady in Red: As part of a brick joke, when she refuses Zack's offer to defect to the red team, her own team loses the games. Upon her finally deciding to give Zack a chance, guess what color of the dress she wears?
  • Only One Name: Her family name goes unmentioned.
  • Recurring Character: She doesn't do much, but appears often enough throughout Season One to warrant her own entry.
  • Ship Tease: With Zack.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: By her last two appearances, Angela seems to have gotten over Zack bailing on their first date and returns his advances somewhat or at least behaves nicely around him for the sake of the kids they're chaperoning in "Fowl Play". Also, after Zack sings to her in "An Oyster Surprise" she apologizes for acting materialistic over the fake pearls and they share a kiss.

     Richie 

Richie

Portrayed by: Maurice Mendoza

A new kid who moves to Angel Grove in early Season Two. Trini develops a crush on him.


  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Was last seen giggling at Bulk and Skull's mishap with the magnetic storm in "Opposites Attract" and just disappeared along with Curtis with no explanation. Justified to an extent with Zack and Trini's departures from the series; as the former two-mentioned characters had no reason to remain with their respective links to the narrative gone.
  • Flat Character: He's never shown doing much aside from being a nice guy and hanging out with Curtis.
  • Mr. Fanservice: One occasion has him rollerblading with Curtis through the park with only a vest on.
  • Nice Guy: If only he weren't so bland.
  • Only One Name: We never hear his surname mentioned.
  • Recurring Character: Appeared in twelve episodes in the first half of Season Two but never contributed much.
  • Red Herring: He was introduced early on in Season Two as a possible candidate for the White Ranger, but even casual fans knew that it was going to be Tommy.
  • Satellite Love Interest: If you want to be generous. Trini is shown to pine for him on occasion, but never acts on it by the time she leaves for Switzerland, and Richie himself had already vanished a few episodes prior.
  • Strong as They Need to Be: One episode had him flee from a group of putties when they attacked him and Curtis, but a few episodes later showed him to win first place in a karate tournament.
  • Those Two Guys: Him and Curtis are seen hanging out together for the majority of their appearances.

     Curtis 

Curtis

Portrayed by: Joel Rogers

Zack's cousin from St. Louis, M.O. who moves to Angel Grove near the start of Season Two, not long after Richie does.


  • A Day in the Limelight: "Orchestral Maneuvers in the Park" showcases his trumpet-playing skills and has him being a sort of Victim of the Week with Zedd stealing his uncle's trumpet to make it into a monster.
  • Birds of a Feather: He and the fairly-new Richie instantly hit it off when they meet.
  • Break Out the Museum Piece: Zack gives him their Uncle Ed's trumpet in the above-mentioned episode since Curtis' own trumpet is still on a moving van from St. Louis.
  • Casting Gag: Inverted example; Joel Rogers was already a recording engineer for the show before playing Zack's cousin Curtis, so the staff had him dub Zack's morphed dialogue when Walter Jones stopped showing up for the ADR sessions, even after Rogers' character had stopped appearing.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Was last seen giggling at Bulk and Skull's mishap with the magnetic storm in "Opposites Attract" and just disappeared along with Richie with no explanation. Justified to an extent with Zack and Trini's departures from the series; as the former two-mentioned characters had no reason to remain with their respective links to the narrative gone.
  • Only One Name: No last name for him is mentioned and is likely not Taylor due to him coming from Zack's mother's side of the family.
  • Recurring Character: Appeared in only six episodes, half the tenure that his friend Richie had, but still impacted the plot in a few episodes which is more than Richie could say.
  • Red Herring: Like Richie, Curtis was introduced as a possible candidate for the White Ranger. Nobody in the fandom was fooled.
  • Those Two Guys: Most of his screentime is shared with Richie, but unlike the latter, he's given a bit more to do.
