Power Rangers Operation Overdrive is the fifteenth season of Power Rangers, based upon the Super Sentai series, GoGo Sentai Boukenger. The series commemorated the 15th anniversary of Power Rangers, while Boukenger celebrated the 30th anniversary of Super Sentai. It aired on ABC Kids starting on March 3, 2007 after starting on Jetix a week earlier.
Once a Ranger are the twentieth and twenty-first episodes of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive. They are a two-part special team-up involving Power Rangers from five different generations, the Retro Rangers, including Xander the Power Rangers Mystic Force Green Ranger, Bridge the Power Rangers S.P.D. Red Ranger, Kira the Power Rangers Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger, Tori the Power Rangers Ninja Storm Blue Ranger, and Adam the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Black Ranger. The title of the episode is a reference to the long-standing phrase "Once a Ranger, always a Ranger" which is directly quoted by the Retro Rangers in Part I and Mack in Part II. The episode commemorates the 15th season of the Power Rangers franchise.

@@beccacroce7380 For real, that's what I thought while watching. He was a lot more driven than he was back in the 90's. This and his more no-nonsense approach showed his veteran status perfectly. He was the most experienced ranger on this new team. He took the role of a leader like Jason or Tommy did before him. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger. But this time it was on his own terms in a way.

I think it was conflicting work schedules. The actor who played Sky was in the movie "Diary of the Dead" which premiered later in the year that the Once a Ranger crossover happened.

[@Thefanclub563]

If this episode was on any other season, I think it would of been bigger. I don't remember this even being promoted. It was fantastic imo. I know people hated that the OD Rangers Quit because they didn't have powers any more. I think it added a layer to the storyline that it was missing. Overdrive was a meh season but this crossover is one of the best for sure! Great video Este Boss Goat!

[@LoyalmoonieProductions]

THANK YOU!!! That's exactly what I was thinking, too! Sure, it was probably executed poorly (especially since, according to Jackie Marchand, there was supposed to be an extra scene explaining why the rangers quit briefly, but Disney cut it for no reason), but this did create an opportunity to show the viewers how the rangers came to a resolve to commit to the mission. It kinda reminded me a little of Neon Genesis Evangelion... ...Or to slightly paraphrase Tommy Oliver, it took awhile for the Overdrive team to learn that the greatest virtue of being a Power Ranger is not about the power, but the gift of helping mankind.

[@mayank6693]

Actually, we need a separate season in which Rangers from different seasons make a team like super sentai strongest battle.

[@matthewrosenthal753]

Calling the sword “Excelsior “ is a call back to the first man to try to bring this type of show to the US. Stan Lee, who was exposed to through the Sentai connected Spider-Man show. Once A Ranger is a good team-up but certainly not flawless, with the Plot holes in the existence of Thrax and the lack of interaction between the returning Rangers and the Overdrive team. Also the Sentinal Knight was voiced by Nic Sampson aka Chip from Mystic Force

[@IamDoomCrow]

Excelsior isn't a call back, it was meant to be 'Excaliber' the sword of myths and in the OG script for it, it was 'Excaliber' hence the 'worthy' aspect of the sword being given to Mack, however one of the members of the cast said 'Excelsior' when doing a script reading, and they opted to use that instead. That's all it is, it's not a call back, merely a happy accident

[@matthewrosenthal753]

@@IamDoomCrow That maybe how in got into the script but they chose to use it. Because someone involved new the history involved and thought that it would be something for the people that knew and ones that would go and find out.

so true !

[@sherodmccoy1942]

@Este say do u have Snapchat my friend? U seem real chill like to talk with ya some time about PR 🙂

[@firefliesowlcity12]

I feel like them giving up and disbanding was too much. Power Rangers lose their powers a lot, sometimes they don't even have civilian powers to make up for it, but they don't give up. The Mystic Force Rangers in the season before this lost their powers twice, Udonna specifically lost her powers 3-4 separate times in the season to accommodate limited Sentai Footage. The Mighty Morphin Rangers lost their powers several different times, The Turbo Rangers, Ryan in Lightspeed, Wes in Timeforce, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, Mystic Force, Lauren in Samurai, the Legendary Rangers in Megaforce, all either lost their powers and fought on anyways, or found a way to help without their powers. (Full explanation at the bottom) Additionally, in RPM the Rangers went on a mission that had a high probability of death and purposely didn't use their powers just because it would have caused a kill squad to find them. Futhermore, there is a difference between being replaced and having backup. If you get injured and have somebody stand in for you, it doesn't mean you don't have a job, it means that somebody is giving you the time you need to recover so that you can do your job again. The Rangers weren't replaced, they were given the time to solve the problem they had been presented with so that they could save the world, then they decided saving the world was too hard as it was, gave up, and disbanded. Explanations: Mighty Morphin loses their powers and then presses on to get new ones three different times. Also there are several episodes where a ranger can't morph for whatever reason and then fights and civilian form. The Turbo Rangers lose their powers and continue on to fight Divatox in space with no knowledge they would gain new powers while there. They were just going to try to fight off the entire Dark Alliance with no civilian or ranger powers. Ryan has limited use of his powers in Lightspeed and instead helps out by identifying enemy weaknesses while traveling as a civilian. Wes loses his powers temporarily when Alex returns during Timeforce and still tries to help others. The Ninja Storm Rangers in a change of pace get their end of season power loss before they defeat the main villian and then still fight the final battle with only their civilian powers. (The solution the Overdrive rangers eventually figure out) The Dino Thunder rangers, despite being out of practice for a year and not having powers, when thrown to the future in SPD are willing to fight. Furthermore, when It seems like they're not going to be able to have powers, they get ready to leave and go fight an army and the main villain without them. (They of course do get their powers so there can be a team up morph but the point is that they were going to fight without them, not give up) Udonna loses her powers against Korag, then regains and loses them in episode 12, then gives up her civilian powers in what I believe was episode 22, regains her ranger powers in episode 29 and maybe loses them again in the finale. No matter the circumstance she is always trying to help the rangers regardless of how much power she can give to help them. Also in Mystic Force, Vida and Nick lose their powers during episode 26 and fight on using their civilian powers. The main five rangers also lose their powers in episode 29 and do give up, but only for an hour. Lauran gets taken out of the fight in Samurai and uses her civilian powers to help the main team. Jason and Casey both help the current rangers by giving advice or training them. All the returning rangers in the legendary battle simply help civilians without any use of powers. In RPM episode 7, Scott leaves on a secret mission and isn't allowed to morph. In episode 14 all of the rangers leave on a mission in which they only have enough power to form megazord once, and are advised not to morph at all because it will allow main villian to find and kill them. So, as you can see in almost 20 examples the Power Rangers fight on, at most taking a small break because they're scared of how to continue on like this. Never, do they disband the team like in Overdrive.

[@sherodmccoy1942]

@firefliesowlcity12 thrax took out their entire team’s acces too the morphing grid, mr Hartford made it seem 99.9% above his pay grade, and with the sentinel knight or how ever you pronounce his name brought in an entire new team of veteran rangers (so they’ve got more experience) now think of it from the overdrive’s perspective, they have no ranger powers. Civilian powers proved to be harmless towards the big bads and an entire set of veterans who have done this way more times than them, and the sentinel knight BLATANTLY SAID and I quote “replace you as the new team of power rangers”. He didn’t say replace you TEMPORARILY he said “replace you”. so they thought to themselves “we’re just here ig” so they just left and did was they thought was more productive with their lives, and they clearly did want to do the ranger task over their past jobs and lives. now they could have actually used those remaining civilian powers of theirs to help regular people but, that’s it’s own topic but ya can’t expect them to handle bigger challenges like the fearcats or moltor etc. but in conclusion I ultimately understood their decision to move on. it’s like a job ur no good at, why be there if ur gonna clearly not gonna deliver on the tuff task’s.🤷🏽‍♂️

[@firefliesowlcity12]

@@sherodmccoy1942 The points you have made are valid, and I understand the perspective. I simply feel frustrated with the thematic failing. The Power Rangers are these paragons of virtue who will save the day/world. When I see them give up, it just feels like my childhood heroes let me down. Are they justified in giving up in that situation? Yeah, but it breaks their archetypes doing so.

[@anxietymunguia7297]

I always thought that Bridge being the Red SPD ranger was a way to continue the story and in my headcanon, Sky took over for Kruger which left the Red ranger spot open.

[@jonathancraddock1810]

Which is ironic because the Soul of The Dragon comic expanded upon it to some degree. Sky becoming the Dekaranger for example.

According to the internet. Matt was not originally going to be in Once A Ranger, as Brandon Jay McLaren, who plays Jack Landors, was offered to reprise his role. However, due to a break-up with Dino Thunder's Emma Lahana (who he had dated in real life), McLaren turned down the offer when told she would also be reprising her role, plus Chris Violette who plays Sky Tate was unavailable at the time, and the storyline was altered to have Bridge become the new S.P.D.

Also, I really wish they would’ve used the triple transforming megazord.

I haven't watched the show since Time Force but I do my best to catch the crossover episodes with the non disney teams. Forever Red was cool, never understood why they didnt bring Rocky back as the Red Ninja ranger or even try to explain how Jason could used the Tyrannosaurus dino coin.

I definitely think this is slept on. I saw this years after it aired and was in love

[@chefedegaru]

@Este So, this theory/video idea revolves around Thrax and how he was a grown man by the time he appeared in Power Rangers-OverDrive. So, in the 2007 Power Ranger Super Legends videogame, a purified, human Zedd is living and working as an archeologist. He finds magic “time crystals” that let him view past and future events. He cannot help but be curious about his past, so he uses the crystals to take a look. Upon looking at his past, the power of evil Lord Zedd corrupts him again, and he regains all his powers. He becomes Galatic Overlord Zedd and he then uses the time crystals and his powers to target ranger teams through time. I think Zedd used the crystals to travel to a point in the past before Rita was sealed in the dumpster by Zordon and they conceived Thrax. Thrax then grew up in the past and was defeated and sealed away by the Sentinel Knight. The Sentinel Knight, by his own accounts, was inactive for a few hundred years after hiding the Corona Aurora on Earth, so Thrax must have been sealed away before that. If there weren't any time travel shenanigans then at most Thrax should have been 12 by the time he appeared in OverDrive, meaning he would have been imprisoned as an innocent infant.

[@JeremyWS]

I liked this crossover too. It was a good one. Bridge's powers didn't cuz he never lost them. Also he was promoted to red, cuz in SPD the colors were treated like ranks. Keep up the good work.

[@Uzumakipavel]

Good point actually. You hear that, Linkara?

[@noy8940]

I was like 12 when this came out so I was sooo excited to see all these cool ass Rangers from the past. And i stan Adam/JYB. Like you said, it crossed off all the checkmarks for a team up. The ONLY thing I would want to change about it is 1 more Ranger. Maybe the Lunar wolf since that was the original transition season, silver ranger team up, and the fact that I just love the suit

[@anakinjmt]

I think the reason nobody talks about this is because it was during one of the most disliked seasons of Power Rangers ever (at least up to that point) and easily the worst of the Disney era of Rangers, which IMO is actually the best era Power Rangers has had quality wise. My issues with it stem from the Overdrive Rangers. All the retro Ranger stuff is great, even with the weirdness of acting like Alpha 6 was Alpha 5. But the Overdrive Rangers quitting does bug me. The Turbo Rangers when they lost their powers decided "Screw it, we'll follow Divatox to space anyway even without our powers." I just feel like the Overdrive Rangers gave up a little too quickly for me

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

I still find the two-parter to just not be enjoyable. The lack of previous rangers until the last 5 minutes of the first part, the fact that they couldn't use the MMPR theme for it, the Overdrive rangers quitting just because their powers aren't currently available to them, Mack running and jumping up to a giant monster and chopping it in half without the need of a megazord, all of that really threw me off. I watched these episodes when they first came out and kept them on DVR for re-watching and every time I'd just see more and more wrong with them. At least the fight scene at the end isn't some motorcycle-filled slugfest like the Ninja Storm/Dino Thunder team up fight was.

[@hiEste]

Personally, I felt like the Overdrive Rangers quitting made 100% sense from a human standpoint, being powerless even with civilian powers is one thing, but to then be replaced with a team of actual legends could really have done something to the ego of the Rangers. I would’ve given up too 😭 I just think that in comparison to other team ups, especially more recent ones, that this episode did most things right and people are just hyper focusing on the negatives.

[@SpectacularSpiderFan]

I mean the OD rangers gave up because they lost their powers, then they still tried to fight and got their asses kicked, and not only that but they are being replaced with litteral legends, that's a lot of damage.

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

I guess I never saw it as being "replaced" because they explicitly say that they're only there until the Overdrive rangers get their powers back, which they should be doing everything they can to assist in doing so before the allied villains get their hands on the Corona Aurora. Maybe I'm still looking at the altruistic nature of the original few sets of rangers who would do anything to help out their fellow ranger and mankind in general, it just makes the Overdrive rangers feel inferior to the others, but I understand that point of view. Though I will give this episode it's fair due. Adam's experience as a voice actor REALLY shined through, especially during the fight scenes. After all, it's literally like dubbing a character from an anime, without the restriction of matching lip flaps. Not to mention that fight scene needs some much-deserved credit, using the theme songs for the fight was a great touch, the weapon swapping between Mack and Bridge, keeping the SPD theme running through Tyzonn's portion of the battle, that was at least a very satisfying end to a team-up I'd still consider less eventful than something like a Forever Red or a To the Tenth Power.

[@aleczavala5010]

After the disappointment that was Legendary Battle, Once a Ranger definitely ranks higher in my book. I just wish the Overdrive Rangers interacted with the retro Rangers more instead of giving up so easily. They still could’ve contributed even without their powers, they could’ve fought the chillers, helped get civilians to safety while the retros fought, or try to find Thrax’s weaknesses or try and find a way to fix their connections to the morphing grid. A season or comic with just the retro’s would also be an interesting idea. In terms of anniversary crossovers, I prefer Forever Red the most. In terms of regular crossovers, Reinforcements From the Future is the best. Yes, I know they’re both from Wild Force, but they both did a great job in terms of character development, foreshadowing future events, story and acting. In both cases, there’s plenty of morphed fights/unmorphed fights, and moments where the newbies and returnees, kick back and get to know each other, that’s what a good crossover does

[@Kenneth2413]

It's my favorite crossover episode. The way that a team was put together for a couple episodes from previous ( and future ) rangers was cool. I would have chosen a different spd ranger and a different mystic force ranger, but overall it was good. I was surprised that no previous (or future) 6th ranger was brought in for the episodes. I also liked how even though Adam is the black ranger, he was basically the leader of the retro rangers.

Off topic though, anyone else but me think it would’ve made more sense to do the Dino crossover with Dino fury instead of beast morphers? Just imagine all the past Dino Rangers teaming up with Dino fury for an all out Dino team.

[@TubeofToons]

THANK YOU! Never really understood why this episode gets all the hate IMO it’s the best crossover. The idea of a legacy team of Rangers was always just so cool to me, like this felt like more than just a team up, they formed a legit team! It was a nice number of returning characters so that they could all get a focus, and yeah like you said the 2 parter definitely helped! All the references to the Zordon era with Alpha and Angel Grove, the villains and especially Adam, who was always my favourite of the Zoe don era, maybe even more so than Tommy dare I say😂 and Adam’s modern Mighty Morphin Morph sequence was amazing to get to see! I loved all the attention to details, with yeah them briefly explaining where everyone was, but they acknowledged previous crossovers by having Kira be familiar with both Tori and Bridge, as well as her knowing that Tommy or Dr O is friends with Adam. I mean I get that the Overdrive Rangers giving up so easily is the weaker part of the episode, but I’d argue it works in the story and like you said it made sense, plus the rest of the episode is so good that I don’t personally mind it that much, the focus here was on the return of the legacy Rangers, as it should be. I’m not a fan of how the more modern crossovers big up a characters return only to have them with their masks off for 5 minutes with a single line from each of them. This episode is how to bring back returning Rangers correctly! 😀 Another great video dude!

If you don't mind I have a Dino Thunder theory for you. If you want to you could possibly make a video on it. So in Power Rangers Dino Thunder in episode "Thunder Storm Pt.2" when Mesogog fought Lothor, Mesogog trapped him in a container, but on the last episode of Dino Thunder, They basically destroyed each other's base. So could Lother escaped the container and possibly left in time of the explosion and just been lurking or spying on the Dino and Ninja Rangers probably planning his next attack.

"As he should. As he should... because of his martial arts ability?!" Noooooo. because he's Rita and Zedd's kid.

[@piyushc.762]

Thank you. It is also my favourite too and most underrated. Support from you can make this crossover more popular.

[@Missing-Ace]

When I hear power rangers crossover I think about that time the ninja turtles were in an episode of in space

[@willamlholla]

did any one else chring in the warehouse fight scene when ALL THE ACTORS needed stunt double, but ADAM got ish done !!

[@jonboys777]

Although I prefer this episode over others, No Hangout with the retro rangers but 5 minutes but what overdrive could of done is take out The Soliders with civilian Powers & if monsters showed up then Retro Rangers would Morph. Warehouse could of been explain (Bridge what are you Doing). & You Should see Jonny Young Bosch Proposal for this episode

[@TheRManProds]

ONCE A RANGER, ALWAYS A RANGER!

[@chrisfugate3503]

Thrax birth or well mention.was only in the 3 parter of Mighry morphin power rangers season 2 the return of the green ranger. Only time lord zedd talks about extending the family with a child.

[@tamas2fechita193]

I grew up with Once a Ranger and to this day this crossover is the best in my opinion.

[@Nightwing037]

And bridge is one of my absolute favorite rangers

[@jonathancraddock1810]

Me too. He's really funny and entertaining to watch.

[@TheRManProds]

THIS WAS SO UNDERRATED!

[@allentrice1703]

That's perfect yet super awesome for Tori the blue Ranger and Kira the perfect yellow Ranger! Thanks for the Power Ranger Girls! 💙💙💙👱⚡💛💛💛👩

[@ChickDeese-]

Part of me hates that my mans wont get a green or blue screen. But if Im honest with myself that blanket just hits different.

[@driftwaysinger4693]

Finally someone else recognizes the greatness of Once A Ranger. It’s the best crosssover/teamup in all of PR. Mega battle or whatever it was called was the worst.

[@just_jjp]

The legendary battle? Yeah, that one was terrible.

[@clintsaines9274]

The ninja storm dino thunder cross over was really good and I dont have either of them in my top 5 seasons

[@slycooper2004]

Who else wished Zhane had appeared, and used his civilian power telekinesis?

[@wargeneralbonez]

I loved Operation Overdrive & Once A Ranger.

[@hiEste]

me2

[@wargeneralbonez]

@@hiEste Then why were you too harsh on Operation Overdrive?! Just like all the rest?!

[@ryanpursel102]

Overdrive is actually fun to watch.

[@MikeAwesome-OneofakindX]

This was much better than tommydimension This teamup it was about everyone everybody had role

[@chaserseven2886]

I watched it this month and enjoyed it and I also learned that Adams actor also voiced lelouch in the code geass dub

[@Floppyfish296]

can someone help i have seen like almost all power rangers but one entil 2017 is there anyway i can re watch any of my favorite ones maybe like power rangers mystic force i remember watching a bit of that and want to re visit it if there is can someone maybe give me a few links

[@racheljackson4428]

the story sounds interesting. the action scenes look awesome. the villain thrax needs a lightning collection figure because his villain look is outstanding.

[@lemon.7]

Thrax low key looks like an AI generated image

[@hyperdrivepics]

Pretty sure Excelsior is just a reference to the legendary sword of King Arthur, from the old Knights of the Round Table tales. Being a season all about historical artifacts, it makes sense. Also, I never got the vibe that the Overdrive Rangers "gave up" in this episode. They kept trying to fight with their civilian powers, but it was clear it wasn't enough. They only left after it was clear they'd been replaced and there was nothing expected of them anymore.

[@idoshanintendo]

I remember erally loving this episode and operation overdrive as a kid, so hearing that people didn't like this episode and operation overdrove was shocking to me.

[@hajerabegum7406]

I think the disney era was really good

[@yashmitnigam8184]

20th ep and 21st season and uploaded on 2021 coincidence? I think not

[@splitzyentertainment7995]

One of the best power ranger youtubers

[@thelegoninja3632]

Xander: it's time for plan xander 😂

[@Steven_20031]

Sorry for mentioning another content creator but does anyone know what's happened to the 6th ranger channel? It seems to have disappeared

[@graymatter8946]

6:30 they can still fight along side with the veteran rangers. In fact they can pretty much deal with the footsoldiers with their civilian powers while the veteran rangers are dealing with Thrax and the other factions of villains.
