The Rangers' Blade Blasters and individual weapons were left unused for much of the season until the Power Weapons were outright dropped after the episode "Rangers Back in Time-part II" except the Power Axe which last appeared several episodes later in " Storybook Rangers-part II"). Due to this rescheduling, the actual 100th episode became " Rangers Back in Time-part II" by air-date order. This is why footage from the then un-aired episode "Forever Friends" (right down to featuring the Jaws of Destruction) could be seen during the montage prior to the Rangers' introduction in that episode. Due to the Power Transfer fiasco, FOX Kids butchered the airing order of episode so it ended up becoming the 93rd episode instead. Originally, the episode " Lights, Camera, Action" was originally meant to be the 100th episode of Power Rangers which is why it was almost entirely a clip-show showing off the past adventures of the Rangers. This season marked the 100th episode of Power Rangers at episode 40. This was somewhat mitigated after introducing Tommy as the White Ranger, adopted from the Kibaranger Dairanger costume, in the later half of season 2, although the Kibaranger costume is notable differentiated from the Zyuranger suits thematically enough to stand out. This also meant new cockpit footage for Zord battles could not be adapted from Dairanger, with new footage shot to use for the Thunder Megazord, but not the individual Zords.
Due to this, the Rangers would rarely engage the monsters adapted from Dairanger in hand-to-hand combat as they had previous monsters due to the lack of available footage, except whenever spliced footage could compensate. Saban also decided to continue to use the Zyuranger costumes instead of replacing them with the Dairanger costumes, despite the second season being adapted from Dairanger. It did not always work, and occasionally the monsters could actually be seen making physical contact with the old Megazord. The new scenes would show only the monster attacking, followed by a shot of just the Thunderzords taking the damage. To compensate for this, Saban attempted to splice the Zyu2 and Dairanger footage to ensure that the Zyu2 monsters were fighting the Thunder Megazord instead of the Dino Megazord. Saban used more than half of the Zyu2 footage in the remainder of Season 1 of Power Rangers, but when it decided to replace the Dinozords with the mecha from Dairanger in Season Two termed Thunderzords in Power Rangers, the Zord footage of the remaining Zyu2 monsters became obsolete.

This footage is collectively known in the Power Rangers fan community as " Zyu2".Īround this time, Saban was also negotiating a deal with Toei to acquire footage from Gosei Sentai Dairanger, the Sentai series which followed Zyuranger. They also incorporated elements from MMPR into the footage, including a relationship between the Green and Pink Rangers, and the Blue Ranger's portrayal as the brains of the group. The two Japanese companies agreed, creating around 25 brand-new monsters and filming both human- and zord-sized battle footage for each. Saban contacted Toei, the Japanese company which produces the Sentai series, along with Rainbow Productions which designed and produced the monster suits, requesting another half-season's worth of Zyuranger footage to be made specifically for Power Rangers. However, due to the unforeseen popularity of the series, Saban, the company that produced Power Rangers, was faced with the possibility of exhausting all of its Zyuranger footage with no more to fall back upon in order to continue producing the show. After Cyclopsis' defeat at the hands of the Rangers, Rita would be sealed away in an urn (mimicking the ending of Zyuranger), and the teenagers would give up their powers. As the episode was originally written, he piloted Cyclopsis, and was based on the character of Kai from Zyuranger.
Another character was to make an appearance, named Bubba. Saban was originally going to produce only 40 episodes in the series, ending with the two-parter Doomsday. 4.5 Individual Weapons and Team Blaster.
