The fourth season of ''[[Power Rangers]]''; a follow up to ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', adapted from ''[[Chouriki Sentai Ohranger]]''. Rita and Zedd have been reduced to homeless rovers on what was once their moon kingdom due to the invading Machine Empire, who want to gut Earth of its natural resources. The Rangers are briefly left powerless after the destruction of their command center. But thankfully, Zordon reveals that he and Alpha have tapped into the mighty Zeo Crystal and they have produced brand new ranger powers, including for the first time brand spankin' new uniforms for the ''entire'' team.

 

----

* [[Big Bad]]: King Mondo

* [[Chest Insignia]]: Personal geometric shapes on the helmet visors, team emblems on the belts.

* [[Word Power]]:

** [[By the Power of Grayskull]] and/or [[Invocation]]: "It's Morphin' Time!"

'''Jason:''' {{color|goldenrod|"Gold Ranger Power!"}} }}

 

 

* [[The Ace]]: Kat. She dives, dances, sings, surfs, skis, trains dogs, trains ''monkeys''... it's finally tossed a [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] when her friends tease her for moping because the purse she made was so ugly. "C'mon, there had to be ''something'' you're not good at."

* [[Arc Welding]]: The Red Battlezord is said to derive technology from the Alien Rangers' Battle Borgs.

* [[Badass Boast]]: At the end of "King for a Day, Part 2", Jason delivers one to Gasket:

* [[Badass Native]]: Tommy. David too.

* [[Bifurcated Weapon]]: The Super Zeo Megazord has twin swords that can be combined into a [[BFS|large saber]] for destroying monsters.

* [[Conservation of Ninjitsu]]: In one episode the Rangers went up against several hundred Cogs and just tore through them. A few episodes later, a half-dozen were able to hold them back.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: In "Good as Gold", Rita says this to Jason:

* [[Criminal Amnesiac]]: Tommy in "King For A Day".

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Of all characters, Prince Sprocket. He became well aware of the scenario of "monster grows, rangers fight it, monster is destroyed". He even used it in attempt to get rid of his brother by getting him to grow. Unfortunately, his plan didn't work as his brother managed to survive the fight.

* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]]: Averted in "Another Song and Dance" with Tommy, who is just a genuinely bad singer.

* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: Rocky, when he's turning into a plant in "A Few Bad Seeds", which also involves some [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] when he makes some fairly suggestive comments towards Kat.

** [[Cooldown Hug]]: from [[Ship Tease|Kat]].

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Kat has been in love with Tommy since her first appearance way back in season three of ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'', but when Kimberly breaks up with him, she does everything she can to cheer him up including setting him up on a date with another woman.

* [[Incredible Shrinking Man]]: Tommy and Kat in "A Small Problem".

* [[Interim Villain]]: Prince Gasket

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Billy and one of the Aquitians.

* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: also a [[Continuity Nod]]:

'''Sprocket:''' A purse monster? That's so [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|last season]]. }}

* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: The aforementioned purse monster, Impursenator. As stated before, she was a monster made out of Kat's fugly purse, and managed to almost defeat the Rangers without even really trying. They used almost every possible strategy of zords, upgrades, combinations and formations (BOTH SETUPS for the Zeo Ultrazord) and only managed to escape when a) the Machines teleported Impursenator away [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|out of jealousy]] and b) she merged with the Machines' monster and somehow [[Anticlimax Boss|this made them both sucky.]]

* [[Official Couple]]: Tommy/Kim was a carryover from [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Mighty Morphin]] until she dropped a Dear John Letter midseason. Tommy/Kat begun shortly afterwards.

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: By the end of the season, both Rita and Mondo display this attitude towards the Rangers.

'''Rita:''' That tub of rebuilt parts isn't grabbing my glory! }}

** Notably, Zedd of all people is a subversion. He'd gladly destroy the Rangers himself, but as he asks, "Who cares ''who'' destroys those Ranger brats?"
