Mighty Morphing Power Rangers: Once & Always has fans absolutely shocked by a new moment from the trailer online. The presence of Robo Rita, has sent viewers into an absolute frenzy. The villain was last seen during Power Rangers in Space's "Countdown to Destruction" That finale saw Zordon make the ultimate sacrifice as the Z-Wave turned all the villains from that point into good guys. (Rita's actress Machiko Saga would actually appear again in Power Rangers Mystic Force's finale as a reformed Rita!) The latest seasons of Power Rangers have dipped into the lore of the larger franchise quite a bit. So seeing a robot version of the iconic villain is pretty fun to see. Check out some of the best reactions down below!
Here's how Netflix describes the upcoming special: "The Rangers come face to face with a familiar threat from the past. In the midst of a global crisis, they are called on once again to be the heroes the world needs. Inspired by the legendary mantra from the franchise 'Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger,' Once & Always reminds everyone when you become a Ranger, you are always a part of the Ranger family and always welcome."
Once a ranger, always a ranger!
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always premieres April 19!

Putting it all together
prevnextSo @PowerRangers fans. Remember when Rita played the machine empire at the end of zeo and blew them up. I wonder what they say now that 30 years later she’s a bot 🤯
She’s behind the rangers in the last pic. Robo-Rita #onceandalways

So much being addressed
prevnextThe way I had questions seeing the suits that featured the destroyed coins, Tommy and robo/zombie Rita, then THE CANON DEATH OF THE YELLOW RANGER HAPPENED. And honestly...I'm down. It'll be a must watch for my gay ass.

the big franchise anniversary special#SuperSentai35 #PowerRangers30 #PowerRangers #SuperSentai #199HeroGreatBattle #OnceAndAlways #BlackCrossKing #RoboRita
Fun theory!
prevnextSo unless Once& Always says otherwise, I'm gonna run with my Dino Fury theory on Zedd for Robo Rita.
It's a new life for the Evil Essence that Zordon purified and not the physical person
Cause Rita's physical form was last canonically seen as the Mystic Mother in Mystic Force
