i've done all i can
i've lost him
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
times characters actually died in power
rangers
[Music]
for this list we'll be looking at the
most notable instances where sentient
beings within the franchise died or at
least looked like they met their ends
although we won't look at comics this
time around we will consider any and all
official live-action power rangers
projects did you ever expect power
rangers to off its characters or were
you as shocked as we were let us know in
the comments below
number 10
most of humanity power rangers rpm
instead of foiling a new villain's plan
to conquer earth at the beginning of the
story the rangers had already lost by
the time the first episode even began
the opening narration of rpm brings us
up to speed about an evil computer virus
that infected the world's technology
vendix took control of the world's
communication power and defense systems
they built armies of advanced robotic
soldiers that laid waste to everything
in their path there was no stopping them
it was so destructive that the remnants
of humanity retreated into the domed
city of corinth while the season doesn't
graphically depict the countless lives
lost it constantly hints at the
devastation
between the desolate landscape corman's
small population and the rangers talking
about people they lost the audience can
make their own unfortunate conclusion
am i right yeah sure i mean the
radiation uh makes the compass gold
screwy yeah it messes with the radio
frequencies too
very hard to find your way we never
expected the multi-colored heroes to run
around a world that was this bleak
number 9 mack hartford power ranger
operation overdrive
even androids aren't immune to the
ranger style of self-sacrifice
i think it's time you told him the truth
mack
you're an android after red ranger matt
came to terms with the fact that he was
a cybernetic being he charged into
battle with the dangerous furious
unfortunately the hero's fully charged
final blow against the big bad had
severe consequences
what are you doing
using all the power i have
the fact that mac was an android didn't
change that his friends couldn't just
fix him up mac's sacrifice appeared to
be a somber yet memorable conclusion to
his character's story however some
magical shenanigans brought him back
pinocchio style as a real boy
we're glad the main problem he'll have
now is figuring out when his birthday
actually is
number eight leonbow power rangers
mystic force
once the leader of the mystic wizards
leonbo went to extreme lengths to seal
dark foes away in the underworld but the
hero's courageous decision appeared to
be his final act on earth leonbo and
niela gave their lives to save us all
[Music]
their sacrifice will not be in vain
they will be remembered however it
turned out that lambo was actually
brainwashed and transformed into the
enemy known as korak although the hero
wasn't truly gone that time there is no
arguing leonbo's supposed death informs
much of the lore and emotional resonance
for this season no it can't be
[Music]
oh
who's that
[Music]
and he would later go on to sacrifice
his life again doom himself to the
underworld and fall in a climactic
battle
power rangers
carry on my legacy
fortunately
leonbow's long journey ended with him
fully alive again
number seven astronomer slash coron
power rangers in space
during the in space season red ranger
andros was forced to face a new kind of
adversary when he was pitted against his
sister caron a.k.a astronomer caron
please listen
[Music]
wait you don't know what you're doing
their dynamic was incredibly captivating
because the hero didn't simply want to
destroy the big bad after astronomer is
fully brainwashed andros accidentally
deflects one of her attacks back at her
goodbye brother
unfortunately she was unable to recover
from the blow it appeared like the
season would end on a truly depressing
note until the red ranger's tears
miraculously revived the former villain
and turned her back into corone chrome
[Music]
andrus
[Music]
how did i
get here
that's a long story thankfully the
conclusion of the sibling story wasn't
as tragic as the many battles they had
to fight beforehand
number six
billy cranston sabon's power rangers
since the 2017 power rangers movie
opened with the deaths of several
rangers we were prepared for the story
to get pretty dark
the film eventually lived up to the grim
tone of its opening when rita repulsa
sneaked up on the rangers during an
intense interrogation she personally
takes the life of blue ranger billy
zordon would lose all respect for me if
i don't kill you
at least one of you what
the shocking sight is followed by a
harrowing scene where the rangers work
together to carry their lost friend into
the command center after we and the
heroes grieve billy's loss zordon
sacrifices everything to bring the
fallen hero back
while the 2017 movie didn't fire on all
cylinders it got the tone and gravity of
this death scene down perfectly
number five officer tate power rangers
spd not every character can be brought
back with a magical resurrection one of
the reasons blue spd ranger sky was
driven to become a hero was because his
father was a red power ranger my dad was
a power ranger too
he was the red ranger
he was a great father
but he made a vow to protect the
innocent
when people were in danger
he was always ready to fight however
their time together was cut short during
an intense battle skye's father was
slain by a monster named murloc i can
only imagine how hard that was for you
i'll never forget it the blue rangers
spent a lot of time trying to live up to
his dad's legacy while processing this
grief in the end skye is able to finally
get justice by capturing murloc while
wearing the red ranger uniform
[Music]
this triumphant moment can't bring his
father back but it was a great way to
cap a sobering power rangers storyline
about loss and moving forward
number four
alex drake power rangers time force
before rpm kickstarted its season in
dramatically grim fashion rancic gave
fans a literal strike to the heart by
slaying the futuristic red ranger alex
drake in the very first episode
[Music]
this gut punch made it clear how high
the stakes were from the start and set
up a great twist when the rangers travel
to the past they find the red rangers
ancestor wes
jen
who are you
[Music]
this man from the past soon becomes the
team's new red ranger and a force for
good by working together underneath west
the rangers are able to alter the
timeline and bring alex back to life
again
unbelievable
[Music]
you look just like me
you're alive his revival admittedly
throws off the team dynamic however his
awkwardness with his teammates doesn't
change how impactful his original demise
was
number 3
magna defender power rangers lost galaxy
there aren't many characters in the
entire morphing grid who have a
backstory as depressing as the magna
defenders after losing his son the
warrior began a hate-fueled quest for
revenge
scorpius
i will have
my revenge
even spending thousands of years in a
crevice couldn't diminish his aggressive
feelings it was only after he possessed
mike corbett's body that he started down
a path of growth beyond grief
but it's not too late
[Music]
brother that warrior's still inside your
heart
i know it is if you fight for what's
right you'll wanna remember memory and
will always be together the magna
defender's journey from determined
adversary to morally complex anti-hero
builds towards a fantastic finale where
he sacrifices himself to save countless
lives
this is for you zika
[Music]
this warrior's last act also has the
bonus of reuniting mike with his brother
while the magna defender didn't fully
embrace vengeance he got to be with his
son again in the end
number 2 kendricks morgan power rangers
lost galaxy most fans remember the time
that real events led to a tearful
goodbye to pink ranger kendricks
actress valerie vernon who portrayed the
heroine was battling leukemia during the
show's run while she tended to her
health in real life the show's writers
decided to write a landmark scene where
pink ranger kendricks gives up her own
life to save her friends
i'm okay
i'll always be here the story fully
committed to this heartbreaking turn by
having the newly good corone take over
as the pink ranger even though this was
great development for a previous villain
the weight of kendricks's absence was
felt by fans fortunately actress valerie
vernon made a full recovery and saw her
character revived in the finale
kendricks i knew you'd make it here

number one
zordon power rangers in space
zordon served as an iconic mentor figure
to multiple more phenomenal teams
throughout the early years of power
rangers the five of you have come
together to form as fine a group of
superheroes as there has ever been he
felt as integral to the series as the
suits action scenes and zords but when
in space was slated as the final outing
for the rangers they decided the best
way to end zordon's journey was to give
him a permanent send-off there's got to
be another way there is no other way
during the season finale the mystical
mentor realized there was only one way
to stop evil forces from overwhelming
the universe the energy tube sustaining
him must be destroyed it's fitting and
heartbreaking to see zordon asked to be
destroyed by a red ranger to save the
galaxy it is your duty as a power ranger
to save the universe
now is the time
[Music]
tragic scene made for an unforgettable
end to one of the franchise's greatest
