In series[]
Power Rangers S.P.D.[]
Baskin, keeper of the stone known as The Evil, announces his intention to relocate with it and his pet turtle to New Zealand after the B-Squad Rangers return the stone to him following their defeat of Drakel, who had previously stolen it from him.
Power Rangers Operation Overdrive[]
Dax Lo worked on a movie in New Zealand after 'leaving' Operation Overdrive, but got left out.
Power Rangers Dino Charge/Power Rangers Dino Super Charge[]
Black Ranger Chase Randall and his family, including sister Chloe Randall, are from New Zealand's south island, and Chase's immediate family still live there while he works with the other Rangers. The original Dino Charge Purple Ranger, Albert Smith, lived on the north island, where his presence was detected by Sledge's monsters. The six core Rangers traveled there to determine why Sledge's forces were investigating, and thus met Albert. After battling Meteor, Iceage, and Stingrage, the Rangers called upon Keeper, who broke the link between Albert and the Purple Energem. While still there, they sought help from Dr. Runga, who'd been duped by the villains. They eventually succeeded in finding and saving the Plesiozord.
