Icon-mightymorphinThis article is about a two-part episode in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

"I almost gave up on myself, Goldar. But your little picture show reminded me how good I’ve done. Not only as the Green Ranger but as me, plain ol’ Tommy."
Tommy Oliver summing up his time as the Green Ranger to Goldar.

Green No More is a two-parter episode and the twelfth & thirteenth episodes of the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

It served the titular conclusion of the seven-episode Green No More arc and featured the ultimate fate of Tommy Oliver's Green Ranger powers.

Synopsis[]

Tommy learns his powers are at their very end and that he may only have one fight left. Meanwhile, Lord Zedd is using a Green Crystal to siphon off Tommy's powers to claim them for himself. He creates TurbanShell to force Tommy into action, so he can claim the last of his powers for his new Dark Rangers.

Plot[]

Part I[]

Tommy is dejectedly playing basketball. Kimberly walks up, and tells him that Jason told her he would be there. Kimberly asks Tommy how he is feeling. Tommy tells Kimberly that Alpha 5 ran a bio scan on him and he will know the results tomorrow. Kimberly suggests that maybe something else can be done for Tommy's powers, but Tommy doesn't want to get his hopes up. A strange illusion of Tommy appears. Tommy and Kimberly are stunned but approach it. The image of Tommy tells him he’s from the future, and to remember his communicator. The illusion of Tommy fades. Tommy realizes that he has received a warning from the future.

Meanwhile Lord Zedd is ready to implement his final plans in destroying the Green Ranger. Once the Green Ranger is no more the destruction of the other Power Rangers will follow.

Inside Angel Grove High School, Billy and Zack are walking together. Zack is worried about his cousin, Curtis, who was supposed to arrive that day. Zack and Billy soon find Curtis surrounded by several students. Curtis is dancing and enjoying all the attention. When Curtis is done dancing, Zack introduces him to Billy and Richie. Richie and Curtis become friends and walk off together. Tommy joins Billy and Zack; they talk about what Tommy had seen earlier. Two trash barrels come rolling down the hall, almost hitting Tommy, Billy, and Zack. Bulk & Skull emerge from the barrels. The guys ask Bulk & Skull what happened. Bulk & Skull are too terrified to talk much, and simply point down the hall. Billy, Zack, and Tommy turn around and see five new students walking down the hall. Bulk & Skull leave, claiming they need to find the Rangers' identities. The five new teens then terrorize another student, Stewart and take his stuff. Tommy takes it back and he, Zack, and Billy confront the new teens, who issue a threat and then leave. Tommy, Billy, and Zack help Stewart and give him back his stuff.

Lord Zedd who has been watching as things transpired finds the five new teenagers perfect to become his Dark Rangers. Goldar asks about the purpose of the crystal. Zedd tells him that it is slowly taking away the Green Rangers powers. Once he is no more the powers will be used for the destruction of the Command Center, and the Rangers.

The following day, in the Command Center, Tommy awaits the news about his powers with Alpha 5. Unfortunately, their latest attempt to recharge Tommy's powers has failed and Zordon tells him he only has enough power for one more fight. Tommy asks Zordon about the image he had seen the previous day. Zordon tells Tommy they are investigating it, but it is worth noting that the image of Tommy was not morphed. This puzzles Tommy who can’t think how he can win without his powers. Meanwhile, Kimberly, Billy, Jason, and Zack are enjoying some time at the beach. Trini isn't there because she is apparently staying with her grandmother, but according to Kimberly she is concerned about Tommy’s powers also. Kimberly is down on the sand with Billy searching for seashells, and she finds a funky looking shell. Her shell hunt is interrupted when the five new teens arrive, and start threatening the Rangers. The new teens claim they will be ruling Angel Grove from now on. Zedd who is watching decides that it is the perfect time to summon his Dark Rangers. He uses his staff to send an electric charge to surround the new teens and they disappear. The Power Rangers wonder what happened to the new teens. Billy suggests that they go to the Command Center for some answers. The four teleport to the Command Center.

In the Otherworld, the five new teens are greeted by Lord Zedd. He tells them he has selected them to be his Dark Rangers. Goldar protests reminding him the Green Ranger still has strength. Zedd says he doesn’t have long because the Green Crystal is still draining his powers. He is confident that once he creates his latest monster, the Rangers battle it, Tommy will join in and thereby taking the rest of his strength with him. Lord Zedd then creates his latest monster TurbanShell from Kimberly’s seashells.

The Rangers except Trini gather at the Command Center. Kimberly asks Tommy about his powers and he tells her he only has one good fight left. The Viewing Globe shows TurbanShell attacking Angel Grove. Zack and Jason are ready to go into battle. Tommy tells them he is ready as well. Trini teleports into the Command Center and Billy fills her in. Kimberly and Zack try to talk Tommy out of going, but when Zordon states that TurbanShell's power levels are exceptionally high and Tommy insists. Zordon tells them the decision is up to Tommy. The Power Rangers morph and head into the city. TurbanShell is already giant and laying waste to Angel Grove, and the Rangers waste no time in summoning the Thunder Megazord as Green Ranger summons Dragonzord. The Zords put up a hard fight against TurbanShell, however the monster is too powerful and easily keeps them at bay. He then summons his staff and blasts the Thunder Megazord and Dragonzord, defeating them both. The main five Rangers are ejected from the Thunder Megazord as Tommy meets them on the ground, as TurbanShell leaves triumphant.

Lord Zedd is explaining to Goldar his plans for when Green Ranger is powerless but TurbanShell interrupts him. Zedd is not happy to see him. TurbanShell apparently needed to recharge his powers, but he tells them he had the Rangers on the ropes. This doesn’t make things any better because he let them go when he had a chance to finish them. Zedd orders him back to Earth to keep fighting the Rangers until the Green Ranger’s powers are completely gone.

The Rangers are running through the park to the Green Ranger’s aid apparently he is getting even weaker. Suddenly, the Green Ranger disappears right before their eyes leaving them stunned. Green Ranger lands in a vast field and TurbanShell is there as well. The Green Ranger tries to fight but TurbanShell drains the last of the Green Ranger's powers. Powerless, Tommy hides.

The Green Ranger’s powers are now all trapped within Zedd’s Crystal. Now the final phase of Zedd’s plan has begun the elimination of the Power Rangers and the rise of his army the Dark Rangers.

The Rangers try to contact Zordon, but they are unable to. Moments later, they are teleported to the entrance of a cave. Jason, Zack, Billy, Kimberly, and Trini are encased in a force field. Lord Zedd and Goldar confront the teens and introduce the Dark Rangers to them. Jason tries to convince the Dark Rangers not to listen to Lord Zedd, that Lord Zedd only cares about himself. The Dark Rangers refuse to listen. Lord Zedd holds up a crystal that contains the Green Ranger's powers. He used it to cut off their connection with Zordon, and tells them Tommy will soon be defeated. Kimberly asks where Tommy is, but Lord Zedd tells her that he is somewhere in this dimension but powerless now just like them. Meanwhile, TurbanShell is stalking Tommy, and Tommy tries to gather his wits as he hides behind a large rock not far from the monster.

Part II[]

Tommy comes out of his hiding place and faces TurbanShell. Tommy and TurbanShell battle. Tommy finds himself time and time again knocked to the ground by TurbanShell.

The Command Center is surrounded by an energy shield. Zordon and Alpha 5 cannot contact the Rangers. Alpha 5 receives more distressing news from the computer print, the energy shield is gradually becoming tighter and eventually the Command Center will implode.

Meanwhile, Zack, Jason, Billy, Kimberly, and Trini are still trapped in Lord Zedd's energy shield. Because they no longer have their Morphers, Lord Zedd decides to return them, so they can helplessly watch Angel Grove get destroyed. The Rangers are returned to Angel Grove Park. Jason tries to contact Zordon, but is unable to. Billy feels sure he can find a way to communicate with the Command Center and wants to go to his lab.

Elsewhere, Tommy is surprised when Goldar appears. Goldar tells TurbanShell he has been given the duty of destroying the Green Ranger and TurbanShell reluctantly leaves. Goldar then shows the dejected Tommy footage of when he was the powerful Green Ranger. Tommy finds it difficult to watch the footage of himself. Goldar Briefly returns to Zedd's Palace as Zedd revels in the Rangers' situation. He Also tells Goldar about Phase 2 of his plan: the Thunderzords will be reprogrammed for the Dark Rangers to use once they make their debut. In Angel Grove, Billy works on the device as Zack and Trini anxiously watch. The TV is on and soon shows footage of TurbanShell attacking the business district. The newscaster asks where the Power Rangers are. Jason and Kimberly enter and they watch the news in uneasy silence.

Goldar returns to the Otherworld and wants Tommy to admit that he is his superior. Tommy hesitates and then stumbles with the words. Goldar waits excitedly, encouraging Tommy to admit he is his superior. Tommy, very suddenly, tells Goldar he is out of his mind and battles Goldar once more. During the battle, Tommy manages to get hold of the time device, he admits he was ready to give up. But the video reminded him of all the good things he’d done as not only the Green Ranger, but of that as plain old Tommy Oliver as well. Tommy uses the device to send Goldar away. Standing alone, Tommy wonders what he should do next. He then realizes that he can use the time device to contact himself in the past. As Tommy does so, lightning strikes the sky and an illusion of him appears. The image of past Tommy tells him it is a time warp and gives Tommy his communicator. Tommy uses it to teleport out of the Otherworld and back to Angel Grove.

Meanwhile, Billy works frantically, trying to re-establish communications between the Rangers and the Command Center. Tommy teleports to Billy's lab and everyone is happy to see him. Alpha 5 appears on the computer screen. In the background, Zordon tells them the Green Crystal must be destroyed and only a Non-Ranger can do it. Tommy volunteers to go, stating he has some payback. Tommy teleports to the Otherworld. Lord Zedd is telling the Dark Rangers that the Thunderzords have been reprogrammed and they and Goldar do not see Tommy until it is too late. Tommy smashes the Green Crystal which causes the Dark Rangers to turn back to normal, and vanish. Tommy teleports back to Billy's lab in triumph, and the Morphers are returned to the Rangers. Tommy tells them after touching the Green Crystal, he feels he has enough power for one more battle.

The Rangers morph and summon the Thunder Megazord, back under their control, to battle TurbanShell. However the fight goes even worse than before as TurbanShell unleashes a full assault on the Megazord causing massive damage. TurbanShell then withdraws into his shell and uses it to ram the Thunder Megazord directly, which causes the Rangers except for Jason to eject and the Zords to forcibly separate leaving just the Red Dragon Thunderzord. It attempts to battle itself, but is defeated just as quickly and forced back into its Dragon Mode. Just as Tommy is about to summon Dragonzord, Zordon contacts him and explains that TurbanShell needs to be attacked from within with heat, then cold from the outside. Tommy hides in a crate of watermelons which TurbanShell spots and, becoming hungry, eats. Tommy then begins firing a laser provided by Billy within TurbanShell's stomach. With Tommy doing his part, Zack picks up a fire hose and starts firing cold water at TurbanShell chilling the monster from outside. TurbanShell is severely weakened and ejects Tommy and the girls and Billy rush over to make sure he is ok. Once he confirms he is, the Zords come back online and the Rangers reform the Thunder Megazord. Now with TurbanShell weak, the Rangers make quick work of the monster and destroy it.

Later in the Youth Center, the Rangers are all sitting at tables together. Trini tells them that Zordon told them that the Dark Rangers have returned to normal and have no memories of what had happened. The Former Dark Ranger teens then walk into the Youth Center, although rather quietly, and Justin orders five sodas. The others watch them and Kimberly tells the others that maybe they just need some friends. The others agree and they all walk up to them at the counter. Richie brings the sodas and says "That'll be $4.50". Justin is about to hand him the money, when Jason touches his hand and tells him he will cover the tab. Jason asked that if they would like to start over again. Everyone agrees and Justin and his friends start being nice.

Later, in the Command Center, Zordon congratulates Tommy on a job well done. The Rangers thank Tommy and tell him he is a true hero. Tommy explains to them he was about give up but then he realized it was not just the suit and powers that gave him strength but who he was inside was what really empowered him. Tommy tells the Rangers how he is going to miss them while he's away on school break, and they will always be in his heart. The teens place their hands in the center, for one last time, and then leap into the air, shouting Power Rangers.

Shared Errors[]

Lord Zedd staff error
  • Two of the Dark Rangers did not appear to be the right color. Zane (the Black Ranger) appeared to be gray and Kristen (the Pink Ranger) appeared to be orange.
  • Throughout both parts, both the middle and bottom of Zedd's staff can be seen covered in both masking and sellotape.
  • In both Part I and the recap of Part II, Zack says “we’re gonna need major Zord power to stop him.” He clearly says two words after this yet no sound is produced.

  • The establishing shot for the first scene with Zedd has an empty balcony but Goldar is standing on it two shots later.

    • Between those shots, a person in blue and a person in yellow vanish.
  • Goldar does not have the Green Crystal when Zedd chooses his Dark Rangers but has it in the follow-up shot.
  • After Goldar asks about the Crystal, there is a close-up of Zedd on the balcony and Goldar has vanished at the very start of the shot.
  • During the close up of Justin as he says the Rangers will start to consider him and his entourage the heads of Angel Grove, Kristen and Bobby vanish despite standing right next to him.
  • After TurbanShell smashed that building, Zack states "we need help" and then continued gesturing as if he was still talking despite the fact he had already stopped.
  • When the Rangers summon the Thunderzords, Jason says, "We need Dinozord power, now!"
  • Several shots of the Thunder Megazord place it in a mountainous setting instead of the city.
  • When the Thunder Megazord is hit by TurbanShell's spiral blast, day suddenly turns to night.

Part II[]

GNMII019

Tor's cameo

  • TurbanShell's voice is of a noticeably higher pitch in Part II than it is in Part I.
  • When Tommy falls into the trench near the start, he starts off falling to the side but the follow-up has him falling on his back.
  • After taking back his staff from Tommy, TurbanShell throws Tommy legs first but the follow-up shows him going headfirst and a subsequent shot has him going feet first again.
  • When TurbanShell teleports after being ordered to leave by Goldar, the types of shells used in his teleportation effect are different from the ones in Part I.
  • Goldar is seen with Zedd at the Moon Palace despite the fact that he is busy taunting Tommy in the Otherworld. Meanwhile, Zedd himself is also in the Otherworld preparing the Dark Rangers.
  • Tommy knocked Goldar's sword away in the Otherworld, then teleported him away before he could retrieve it, but Goldar is still carrying the sword when he and Zedd review the Dark Rangers.
  • The Red Dragon Thunderzord summons its staff before attempting to take on TurbanShell, but it disappears when the Zord is hit by the eye beams.
  • After the Red Dragon Thunderzord is defeated, Jason disappears from the battle until the Thunder Megazord is reformed.
  • When TurbanShell blasts the Red Dragon Thunderzord with its eye beams, the head of the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord can be seen in the middle of the explosion.
  • When TurbanShell hunches up into a ball and hurls itself at the Thunder Megazord, the original Megazord can be seen in the middle of the explosion when the monster makes contact with it.
  • The yet-to-be-introduced Tor the Shuttlezord can be seen in the left corner of the screen when the Red Dragon Thunderzord sparks after the Thunder Megazord disassembles after TurbanShell's attack.

Notes[]

Tyrannosaurus Dinozord in Green No More
  • There were several deleted sequences from Zyu2 footage:

  • Paul Schrier (Bulk) and Jason Narvy (Skull) do not appear in Part II, marking their first absence in Power Rangers.
  • This is the last episode to play the song Go Green Ranger Go.
  • The hose Zack uses on TurbanShell was originally the Mastodon Zord shooting ice from its trunk, but had to be replaced with a hose because the Dinozords were not being used anymore.

    • The Putty fight from the episode "Bloom of Doom".
