Legendary Battle is the twentieth and final episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, the second season of Power Rangers Megaforce. It marks the appearance of the Legendary Rangers, as well as the final appearance of the Armada.
Days after, an extended episode which comprised of both The Wrath and Legendary Battle aired, with extra scenes and dialogue.
Synopsis[]
Emperor Mavro and what remains of his fleet fought relentlessly against the Power Rangers, who are weakened and have lost their Zords. In a final burst of heroism, they enter the final battle. Unexpectedly, at this moment every Power Ranger generation in existence arrives to assist them in battle. Through their combined efforts, they are able to destroy the Emperor and his fleet to once again save the Earth.
Plot[]
In the aftermath of the previous episode, the city is in ruins and many civilians question whether or not Mavro's claim to have destroyed the Power Rangers is true. As the Mega Rangers regroup, several Legendary Rangers - including Tommy Oliver, Cassie Chan, T.J. Johnson, Leo Corbett, Carter Grayson, and Dana Mitchell - are seen throughout the city helping citizens out of dangerous situations. As the citizens prepare for the Armada's attack at dawn, other Legendary Rangers - including Damon Henderson, Karone, and Wesley Collins - are seen amongst the crowds as well.
The Rangers contact Gosei, who expresses his confidence in their ability to succeed despite the loss of their Zords. While the Rangers are initially despondent, Troy rallies them with an encouraging speech, and a familiar Armada ship soon descends with a welcome addition to their forces: a returning Orion.
The next day, Redker leads a force of Armada robots to attack the city, only to be challenged by the Rangers. After briefly helping the others fight him, Troy and Orion determine that their only hope of defeating the Armada for good is to infiltrate the Armada flagship and challenge Emperor Mavro head-on. Leaving their four friends to continue the battle, they board Orion's ship and manage to crash it into the flagship and make their way aboard. While their friends defeat Redker, the pair challenge Mavro, but he proves a formidable combatant. However, they manage to turn the flagship's firepower on the rest of the Armada fleet, decimating the entire force in less than a minute.
Using their full power, they then defeat Mavro and send the flagship plummeting towards Earth. Much to the horror of their friends, they apparently perish in the crash as the vessel explodes. However, using the powers of the Red and Silver Space Rangers, the two manage to get out of the ship before it crashes. The group celebrates their victory, only to spot one final menace: a massive army of X Borgs and Bruisers marching towards the city. Despite being vastly outnumbered, the six Rangers are determined to fight, and then receive one final surprise: the Legendary Rangers all appear to aid them in this final confrontation. The Megaforce Rangers gladly welcome their new allies and refrain from going into Super Megaforce mode due to their confidence about the outcome of the battle.
After a furious struggle, all the robots are defeated, and the veteran Rangers-led by Tommy-bid farewell to the Megaforce, assuring them that the older Rangers will always be with them. With that, the Legendary Rangers disperse, and the Megaforce Rangers decide to celebrate their victory, with Troy leaving his sword behind at the site of the final battle and Gia giving Jake a kiss on the cheek.

Legendary Ranger Modes[]
(Additional Legendary Ranger Modes were seen in the Extended Finale)
- Legendary Ranger Modes for Legendary Battle:
- This episode marks the only time Orion transforms into a Ranger that is his base color : Silver. (if one doesn't consider the extended version where he transformed into Robo Knight.) Also, in this version, Orion's last Legendary Ranger Mode is his respective color.
- Also, in this version, Orion's last Legendary Ranger Mode is from the first Silver Ranger of the original Saban Era.
- As of this episode, Troy has transformed into all his Red Ranger counterparts from the Zordon Era at least once.
- Troy and Orion's morph into the Red and Silver Space Rangers in this episode may be a subtle reference to Power Rangers in Space final episode "Countdown to Destruction".
- This is the only time the Super Mega Rangers use the In Space Red and In Space Silver keys.
- This is the only time the Super Mega Rangers use the Female Red Samurai Ranger, Sentinel Knight, Shadow Ranger and White Mystic Ranger keys.
- This is also the only time the Super Mega Rangers use the Extra Ranger Keys for the Super Mega Cannon instead of the core Super Megaforce Keys.
Errors[]
- During the beginning of the episode, when Troy gets up, a crew member is in the back on the phone.
- Mighty Morphin White Ranger, Zeo Ranger V - Red, and the Black Dino Ranger are briefly glimpsed in long shots of Sentai footage. Because these Rangers are all Tommy's Ranger forms, they cannot be on the battlefield at the same time as the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger. However they are glimpsed fighting if one pauses at the right frame, this could be explained as Tommy using his Master Morpher to help his other teams out.
- The Titanium Ranger's mouthpiece is visible when it should be behind his visor.
- It's unknown how Robo Knight returned for the Legendary Battle.
- When the Rangers finish off the remaining X Borgs and Bruisers with the Megaforce Blaster and Super Spear Blaster (in Orion's case) respectively, the beam of the Super Spear Blaster instead hit the X Borgs and Bruisers without waiting for the Dynamic Victory Charge blast of the Megaforce Blaster.
- During the aftermath of the battle, the silver stripe on the Green Ranger's helmet can be briefly seen when Tommy walks up to the Rangers.
- The Red Turbo Ranger does not appear in the wide shot of all the Ranger teams on the cliff but does appear alongside his team in close-ups.
- Likewise, Tommy and Antonio do not appear in their respective team's shot, but do appear in the wide shot on the cliff.
- Also many Rangers who later appear in the battle, including Trey of Triforia, Merrick, the Thunder Rangers, Green Samurai Ranger, Sam, Daggeron, Tyzonn, RJ, Dominic, Gem and Gemma do not appear in either the cliff shot or their team's shots.
- Likewise, Tommy and Antonio do not appear in their respective team's shot, but do appear in the wide shot on the cliff.
- During the scene where the Aquitar Rangers and the Wind, Thunder and Samurai Rangers finish off the X Borgs, Tommy can be heard fighting off-screen.
- Despite being shown to be using the Mighty Morphin Green powers during the Legendary Battle, Tommy is still able to summon Saba.
- During the fight, the Green Samurai Ranger can be heard grunting in Tommy's voice.
- In its initial airing the Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger is seen with a skirted suit on the cliff introduction, it was edited out in subsequent airings.
Notes[]
- Almost every past Ranger appears in this episode. For a full list, see Legendary Rangers.
- However, only 11 of the past Rangers appear unmorphed: Tommy, T.J., Cassie, Leo, Damon, Karone, Carter, Dana, Wes, Mike, and Emily.
- Furthermore, Damon, Mike, and Emily do not have any lines, while Karone only speaks in the extended edition. Although the viewers might be able to hear Emily shouting if the viewers listen closely when all the Rangers charge at the X Borgs
- Just before Karone puts her helmet back on after saying "I love being a Power Ranger", she briefly Legend Shifts to show Astronema, her former villain identity.
- Furthermore, Damon, Mike, and Emily do not have any lines, while Karone only speaks in the extended edition. Although the viewers might be able to hear Emily shouting if the viewers listen closely when all the Rangers charge at the X Borgs
- Non-sixth Rangers (such as the Thunder Rangers and the Wolf Ranger) only appear in Sentai footage. However, Dillon and Ziggy are the only “additional” Rangers to appear in American footage.
- However, only 11 of the past Rangers appear unmorphed: Tommy, T.J., Cassie, Leo, Damon, Karone, Carter, Dana, Wes, Mike, and Emily.
- This is the second time Tommy, Carter, Wesley, T.J, and Leo appeared in an Power Rangers anniversary episode (first time was Forever Red).
- When Noah, Gia, Jake and Emma use the Super Mega Cannon, the viewers can see the Keys of the Shadow Ranger, Female Red Samurai Ranger, Sentinel Knight, and White Mystic Ranger. This is due to using Gokaiger footage, as the Gokaigers used the DekaMaster, Princess Shinken Red, Great Sword Man Zubaan and MagiMother Keys for the GokaiGalleon Buster.
- When the Wind Rangers appear on the ledge, their poses are that similar of their counterparts the Hurricanegers.
- When Leo saves a young boy's dog, he asks what their names are, the boy replies his name is Danny and his dog was Bigsly. Leo says "nice names" and smiles. This is a nod to the actor's name, Danny Slavin.
- This episode marks the only time Orion ever morphs into Super Megaforce Silver using "Go Go Megaforce!".
- Tommy, Cassie, T.J. and Leo are the only returning Rangers to get lines in this episode. The extended version will give lines to every Ranger except for Damon, Emily, and Mike
- During the Legendary Battle, Pink Squadron Ranger, Red Lightning Ranger, Black Lightning Ranger, Pink Lightning Ranger, Red Prism Ranger, Blue Prism Ranger, Yellow Prism Ranger, Pink Supersonic Ranger, Blue Supersonic Ranger, Black Supersonic Ranger, Red Supersonic Ranger can be seen fighting in the Legendary Battle despite not appearing in original footage.
- Although not appearing in the Legendary Battle, Tommy's Zeo Ranger V - Red power is seen in a teaser of Super Megaforce' Legendary Battle in the original footage.
- During a race, the viewers can see Zeo Ranger V - Red, Mighty Morphin White Ranger and Black Dino Ranger at all the same time. Soon after, during the battle itself, Zeo Ranger V - Red is visible behind Zeo Ranger I - Pink. The White Ranger also appeared, closer to the Squadron team.
- Some changes between the teaser and the actual episode:
- The Legendary Rangers are further back than in the aired version where they are much closer, with different positions for Leo, T.J., Cassie, Emily, Tommy, and Mike.
- The teaser has Emily next to Tommy the whole time while Mike is next to Tommy in the episode.
- Emily is seen exchanging a glance with Tommy in the teaser but that was cut from the aired version.
- The Mega Rangers had a scene where they morphed in the Teaser but it was cut.
- During filming, the MMPR Green Ranger helmet carried by Jason David Frank featured a silver trim that were not present on the original suit, and he has the standard, silver-plated Power Morpher used for the core MMPR Rangers instead of the gold-plated one. Those props were reused from the Dino Thunder episode "Fighting Spirit". Both were digitally recolored in almost every shot featuring the MMPR Green Ranger in post-production, in order to resemble the original Dragon-Ranger suit and match with the Gokaiger footage, although a few shots were missed. The only change of the MMPR Green Ranger suit was the Dragon Dagger holster, which was changed to a black one and placed on the correct hip; again, in order to resemble the original suit and match with the footage.
- The Lightspeed jackets worn by Carter and Dana are the same jackets that they wore in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue which had been given to the cast upon the conclusion of the series.
- Tommy was dressed in a similar fashion as during his time in Dino Thunder, but with a white shirt instead of black, a likely reference to the White MMPR power not use in this episode.
- Right after Troy and Orion take down the Armada Mothership and it crashes to the ground, the viewers can see Azim Rizk mouthing a swear word right before a commercial break.
- No explanation was offered for how the Legendary Rangers are all present at the final battle. Additionally, no explanation was offered for the return of various powers that had been previously lost. This was later explained in the episode Morphin Master of Power Rangers Dino Fury, where the appearance of the Rangers as well as their sudden disappearance in a ball of light were attributed to the Green Morphin Master, an ancient being that had a hand in creating various power sources of multiple Ranger teams in the first place.
- Gia Moran, along with Tommy Oliver, T.J. Johnson and Wes Collins would later return to team up with the Ninja Steel Rangers in "Dimensions in Danger" four years later.
- This is Justin Stewart's first battle as an adult Power Ranger.
- This is Mack Hartford's first battle as a human Power Ranger.
- Dan Ewing was approached to reprise his role as Dillon, but was unavailable.[1]
- The Legendary Battle taking place in the last episode of Super Megaforce is a reverse for how the Great Legend War took place before the events of Gokaiger.
