** James Napier (Conner) seems to consider his time on the show as this. After returning for the ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' teamup, he has never even vaguely mentioned his connection with the franchise, and it's been said that he only took the role to [[IWasYoungAndNeededTheMoney use the money towards a career in filmmaking]], which he followed through with, even becoming a success in his home country with his 2015 film ''The Dark Horse''. He is also one of the few ''Power Rangers'' actors to not attend a single FanConvention; as of now, he seems to be the most blatant case of old shame in the entire series (beating out [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Danny Slavin]], who seemed to have warmed up in later years), unless he himself speaks on the matter.
** Emma Lahana (Kira) was open about her time on the show for a while and often engaged with fans, but has become ''significantly'' more sour regarding it over the past several years, expressing genuine annoyance at constantly being called "Kira" instead of her real name to the point of directly asking people to stop doing it, as well as more or less regarding her tenure as a stepping stone to bigger things. Nowadays, she keeps her distance and it's likely to stay that way.

** Zigzagged. Creator/JasonDavidFrank made some negative comments about the Disney Era as a whole in an interview in 2013. Then in [[https://www.tvinsider.com/710538/jason-david-frank-interview-power-rangers-super-ninja-steel-25th-anniversary a later interview]] in 2018, JDF seemed more lenient towards the series and acknowledged that it was a good series for some viewers to be introduced to.

** The ''Zeo'' ChristmasEpisode showed Tommy and Katherine would be married in the future, but her not appearing in this season prompted fans to question that outcome (not that there hadn't been questioning for years prior to that, of course). When asked about this, though, Doug Sloan stated that Tommy and Kat getting married was still in-continuity. The canon comic "Soul of the Dragon", set during the S.P.D. era, eventually showed them married, and confirmed Kat as the mother of Tommy's son J.J. (who's still a kid during the events of the ''Ninja Super Steel'' season). Tommy and Kat being married is confirmed in-show during the 30th anniversary special ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersOnceAndAlways'', when Kat NameDrop JJ (away at a karate camp) and gives other indications that she and Tommy are married.
