Summary
Almost everyPower Rangersepisode ends with the Rangers summoning their Zords and get the better of the monster , leading to the democratic question of why they do n’t just bring in the Megazord justly forth . FromMighty Morphin ’s pilot burner toCosmic Fury ’s end , watching onePower Rangersepisode is enough to witness most of the show ’s tropes . human foot soldiers , at least two morphing sequence , and Megazord battles are some of the things that happen in everyPower Rangersepisode . While most of these are part of the show ’s formula , it can be fun to look for in - universe account for them .
For representative , whether the Power Rangers morph in substantial - timeis a decades - old question that neither the show nor the comics have settled . However , the way the Rangers use their Megazords might be the most popularPower Rangersmystery . If the Zords and their combined configuration are so brawny , it would make sense for the heroes to lend them to the battlefield as soon as the devil of the week testify up . Still , there is one dewy-eyed reason why they do n’t do that .
From Mighty Morphin to Cosmic Fury , here is how to watch every Power Rangers TV show in order , both chronologically and by going date .
Zordon Has A Non-Escalation Rule In Power Rangers
Zordon Laid Out Three Rules For The Power Rangers
InMighty Morphin Power Rangersepisode 1 , Zordon establish three rules that Jason , Kimberly , Billy , Zack , and Trini would have to adopt no matter what . One of those rules wasto never escalate a struggle unless Rita Repulsa forced them to . In other parole , thePower Rangersshould always purpose at control a situation with minimum collateral damage . This is why the Power Rangers do n’t bring in the Zords or the Megazord straightaway , only if Rita makes her monster grow first . This also explain why the Power Rangers never attack Rita first .
harmonize to Zordon , a Power Ranger should never :
apply their power for personal gain ;
Escalate a battle with an opponent unless they are squeeze to do so ;
bring out their identities .
Zordon ’s non - escalation rule is respectable enough of an in - universe of discourse reason to warrant why thePower Rangersonly practice the Megazord at the close of the episode . While this does not reply the interrogative as a whole – plenty of otherPower Rangersteamsalso keep their Zords as a last - hour resourcefulness despite not having been mentored by Zordon – it can be adopt that mostPower Rangersmentors thought of something interchangeable . TheZords and the Megazords are the Rangers ’ ultimate weapons and can cause a great deal of end , which is why they ca n’t be used too frequently .
Why Power Rangers’ Megazord Plot Hole Is Not Really A Problem
Using The Megazord Immediately Would Only Escalate Things
The fact that thePower Rangerscould , in possibility , easily win all of their fights using the Megazord right from the start is often pointed out as a game gob . However , even thoughPower Rangershas countless plot hole and repugnance , the Megazord issue was never really a problem . The chief ground why the Power Rangers have to use Zords is so that they can struggle the demon in their giant versions . If , for example , Jason called for"Megazord power"at the beginning of a combat , Rita could just make her behemoth develop straightaway in response .
Be it with actors in suit and miniature poser or CGI , Megazord battle are usually the most expensive part of a Sentai episode .
The resultant role would be the same – a kaiju fight in the midsection of the street . Of of course , the genuine reason why Megazords usually only come along at the end of each installment is thatthis is one of the most traditionalSuper Sentaitropes . Be it with actors in suit and miniature simulation or CGI , Megazord battles are usually the most expensive part of aSentaiepisode . BothSentaiandPower Rangershave a very clear structure in which the heroes can only really win at the conclusion of the episode , hence the formulaic Megazord battles .

Future Power Rangers Shows Can Easily Avoid The Megazord Plot Hole With 1 Change
A More Grounded Power Rangers Show Could Save Megazord Battles For Key Episodes
While the non - escalation regulation explains the Megazord problem just very well , Power Rangerswould indeed profit from using jumbo monsters and mechas in more creative ways . The kaiju battles are part of the dealership ’s identity , to the head I still prefer worker in suits over CG battles inSentaiandPower Rangers . That say , I would love to see a more groundedPower Rangersshow or picture show in which the Megazord unfeignedly feels like a last resourcethat will do a mickle of collateral wrong . Pacific Rim ’s jaeger are a great example of how to do this .

Of naturally , this would not work inPower Rangers ’ data format . However , in a potentialPower Rangersreboot for idiot box , it could be interesting for Megazord battles to be salve for specific gamy - stakes episode . This would allow the kaiju fights to feel like massive event instead of just another fight that destroys the metropolis once every week . Power Rangers(2017 ) achieved that with its third - enactment Megazord scenes , but regrettably , a sequel never pass off . world power Rangerswould not be the same show without Megazord battles , but doing different thing with them could be exciting .
