Comments:
  • The legendary Tommy Oliver has returned in a battle against his former forms, the Green Ranger, the White Ranger, and Red Zeo Ranger 5, but the Red Turbo Ranger is nowhere to be seen. Although, I don't suppose Tommy carries the burdens of those powers since he passed them on to TJ.
  • The Black Dino Gem is shattered, and causes Tommy to be free from its power of invisibility. Given the connection however, this leaves him in a coma. Once Tommy faces his former selves, the Dino Gem fragments are reunited, allowing Tommy to reawaken. There suggests that the returning Ranger powers were more than just a dream.
  • There were some modifications to the Green Ranger costume, as well as some subtle changes to the White Ranger costume.
