** Trini, Jason, and Zack gradually began having less and less screentime as soon as their eventual replacements Adam, Aisha, and Rocky joined the cast. The episodes leading up to the three of them leaving also focused more on Tommy, Kimberly and Billy, while Trini, Jason, and Zack rarely appeared out of costume, and even when they did, they had very few lines. Sadly, while Jason eventually returned to have a large role in ''Zeo'', Trini and Zack left the franchise for good in Season 2.

* LuckyTranslation:
** The switch to ''Dairanger'' mechs for Season 2 could have been a problem because the Dairangers didn't have a Black Ranger but rather a Green Ranger. The green Shishiranger's lion mech's coloring just happened to be about fifty percent black with a couple of gold and green highlights, making it plausible as a Black Ranger's Zord as well.
** There's also the fact that the ''Dairanger'' mecha were a '''lot''' like the ''Zyuranger'' mechs in many ways. They were similar in design (red was a solo combatant, black was a slow-moving tank, blue and yellow were similar-looking speedrunners, pink was a flyer) and layout (red forms the center, black is arms, blue and yellow were legs, and pink was an accessory.) Additionally, both had the ability for the auxiliary Zords to combine with the Sixth Ranger mecha. This made the idea of the Thunder Zords being suped-up Dino Zords a much easier sell. The Sentai version of the animals were also based on Chinese mythology where some had no easy western counterpart (like the Kirin), but the zords were generic enough to give more recognizable names.
** Similarly, the White Ranger's suit design was close enough stylistically to match the ''Zyuranger'' costumes, with an animal themed helmet and especially the gold vest to look similar to the previous Green Ranger; any other suit would have made too big of a contrast.
** ''Kakuranger'' had a female White Ranger in place of a Pink Ranger, but her Zord was white with red highlights (and both the Pterodactyl and Firebird Zords were red instead of pink, so a red Zord wouldn't be unusual for the Pink Ranger). In a switch-up, the white Kakuranger was also the team leader unlike the normal red ranger, which ended up reflecting the changes made in Power Rangers at the time. Finally, while ''Kakuranger'' lacked a proper sixth Ranger, it did have an additional white mech capable of fighting independently or combining with the Megazords, which was given to the White Power Ranger.

10,000 years ago, a great war raged across the cosmos, pitting a wizard named Zordon against a sorceress named Rita Repulsa. The war ended with a stalemate; Zordon's essence was trapped in a time warp, while Rita and her forces were entombed in a sarcophagus wandering the vastness of space. The sarcophagus landed on a passing asteroid, with astronauts unleashing Rita and her forces, who decided to renew the war from the moon of an InsignificantLittleBluePlanet. Zordon had long since set up a Command Center on Earth to be a sentry against her return, and with the help of his robot ward, Alpha 5, Zordon assembles his own team of warriors to combat Rita. Utilizing talismans called the "Power Coins" he selected five "[[RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude teenagers with attitude]]"; [[TheStoic Jason]] [[{{Determinator}} Lee]] [[TheLeader Scott]] (Austin St John), [[FunPersonified Zack]] [[DanceBattler Taylor]] (Creator/WalterEmanuelJones), [[ValleyGirl Kimberly]] [[DeadpanSnarker Ann]] [[TheChick Hart]] (Creator/AmyJoJohnson), [[TheSmartGuy Billy]] [[NonActionGuy Cranston]] (Creator/DavidYost) and [[JackOfAllStats Trini]] [[SoapboxSadie Kwan]] (Thuy Trang). Each teenager was given a coin and TransformationTrinket called a "Power Morpher" to become enhanced fighters in armored suits and access to an arsenal of weaponry, along with HumongousMecha based on dinosaurs called "Zords". Rita's came with her own forces; [[TheDragon top lieutenant Goldar]], the resident ThoseTwoGuys Squatt and Baboo, and her scientist Finster, who would turn his clay sculptures into Rita's foot soldiers, the Putty Patrol, and various [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]].

When the series was renewed for a second season, to escalate the story a new BigBad, Lord Zedd, displaced Rita and Zordon upgraded the Dino Zords into Thunder Zords, which was using the mecha footage from ''Zyuranger'' successor ''[[Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger Dairanger]]'' instead of paying for more ''[=Zyu2=]'' footage, with Ranger suit footage personally filmed in California. Midway through the season, there were contract disputes with Austin St. John, Walter Jones, and Thuy Trang, which led to them walking out on the series.

The third season had Rita's brother, Rito Revolto, successfully destroy the Rangers' powers and the Thunder Zords, and the Rangers find the legendary creator of the coins Ninjor, who forges them new Power Coins based on modern creatures and [[GratuitousNinja the art of ninjetti]]. Retaining Zyuranger costumes still, ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger'' served as the basis for the new Ninja Zords, and they introduced a partial morph where [[HighlyVisibleNinja they fought in brightly colored ninja-themed outfits]]. In this season Creator/AmyJoJohnson requested to leave and, unlike before, the production team had time to craft an exit story, with replacement character Katherine Hillard (Catherine Sutherland) brought in for a better PassingTheTorch. In an escalation of villains, Rita and Rito's father Master Vile arrives and neutralizes the Rangers using TimeTravel to reduce them back to preteens. Unable to use their own powers, Zordon sends out a request for help from [[RubberForeheadAlien aquatic humanoids]] from the planet Aquitar with their own Ranger team and led to a ten-episode miniseries called ''Mighty Morphin' Alien Rangers''. The first appearance of new Ranger teams and costumes, the Alien Rangers used the Kakuranger costumes and unused mecha battles to that point. The ''Alien Ranger'' miniseries is seen as an extension of MMPR rather than its own thing, as concurrently the young Rangers went on quests through time and space to find the pieces of the powerful Zeo Crystal (a MacGuffin introduced [[ChekhovsGun earlier in the season]]) to resolve the problem. Their return with the completed Zeo Crystal was the jumping-off point for ''Series/PowerRangersZeo''.

While the following three seasons, ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'', ''[[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Turbo]]'' and ''[[Series/PowerRangersInSpace In Space]]'' featured rotating {{Big Bad}}s and Rangers themselves, ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' provides a finale for what people call "The Zordon Era" and afterwards ''Power Rangers'' followed the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' standalone season/standalone team format, but unlike ''Super Sentai'' ([[BroadStrokes mostly]]), it's all in one continuity.

** The original Megazord's transformation is accompanied by a voice-over "Megazord sequence has been initiated" and "Megazord - Activated". No other zords in the franchise (even in MMPR itself) would do that, with the exceptions of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' "X Charger - ENGAGE", which in this case is used by zords and gadgets and ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'' which would sometime include a voice saying magical gobbledygook over the megazord combination sequence.
** In early episodes Jason uses various calls to summon the zords. The classic "We need Dinozord power!" only begins in episode 7.
** Early episode also seems to not yet have settled on the names of some things. The Megazord's power sword is called Mega Sword in a handful of episodes. The zords themselves are sometimes called "Megazords" when that's supposed to be the name of their transformation.
** Again, in a franchise early installment, the term "Megazord" originally specifically refers to the combination with the 5 core zords. The other combinations have all different names: Mega Dragonzord, Dragonzord Battlemode (or Fighting Mode), Ultrazord. Even when the Megazord is remade into the Thunder Megazord, the term remains tied to that one specific robot - the Tigerzord's combined mode is the Mega Tigerzord. It's only come season 3 that "Megazord" ceases being a term for one specific combiner in the Rangers' arsenal and instead becomes the term for any robot made of smaller zords and from there on almost all such robots all have "Megazord" in their name.
