Recap / Power Rangers Super Megaforce S2E20 Legendary Battle

Go To

With the Rangers' Zords destroyed and the Rangers defeated, the Armada, led by Emperor Mavro, gives Earth's people one more day to wallow in despair. Now, the Rangers must make one last stand against Mavro and his legions, but they may need a little help from the Ranger teams before them if they intend to defeat the Armada once and for all...


Tropes

  • Adapted Out: The final battle against Emperor Mavro omits several Legendary Ranger Modes from Gokaiger, mostly of Sentai that were not adapted as "New Powers" earlier, including Goranger, J.A.K.Q., Battle Fever J, Denziman, Sun Vulcan, Goggle V, Dynaman, Bioman, Liveman, Turboranger and Jetman.
  • Ambiguous Situation:
    • As we see the Zeo team, it can be presumed that the MMPR team is either the original five, or Aisha subbing for Trini.
    • Since it's impossible for the Zeo, Turbo and Space Rangers to all be active at once, the simplest explanation is that the Turbo Rangers depicted here are the Robo Rangers.
  • Big Badass Battle Sequence: It's the Final Battle of the show, adapted from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger's Legend War.
  • Big Damn Heroes: All the past Ranger teams show up to help destroy the Armada once and for all.
  • Compressed Adaptation: The final episode of Super Megaforce adapts the last two episodes of Gokaiger as well as incorporating the Big Badass Battle Sequence which, in Gokaiger, opened rather than concluded the series.
  • Continuity Nod: With Tommy wielding the Dragon and presumably Tiger coins, the Zeo & Dino Thunder teams stand at four Rangers.
  • Continuity Snarl: We see Cassie and TJ in their Space uniforms, but we also see the complete Turbo team. Popular theory is that the Turbo Rangers are new Robot Rangers designed to fill in the ranks, with the Space and Zeo teams back to their original numbers.
  • Decapitated Army: A rare subversion. Killing Emperor Mavro is the beginning of the end for the Armada, but their army makes a Last Villain Stand and must be destroyed by every Power Rangers team ever. This is averted for the television cut, which simply ends at Mavro's death on his flagship.
  • Intra-Franchise Crossover: The third in the franchise and probably the biggest crossover ever made in Power Rangers history.
  • Last Villain Stand: After their fleet is destroyed and Emperor Marvro has been killed, the Armada's army makes one last attempt to kill the Rangers, and have to be wiped out by every Ranger team ever.
  • Re-Cut: Combined with the previous episode into The Legendary Battle: Extended Edition, with the addition of 43% new footage.
