Lothor purposely losing every week to fill a literal hell hole with his monsters, just so he can re-release them is pretty dark. He more or less could've won if not for Deus Ex-Powers of the Wind Rangers

I still think that Javi getting his arm blown off was one of the darkest moments of the show.

Trini's death in once and always will always be one of the most dreadful scenes throughout the power rangers franchise 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

Losing the ThunderZords at #30 just shows how far this series has come. I saw that show live as a kid and boy was it terrifying.

The Magna Defender's back story still tears me apart 😢. The visual of a son who sees his heroic father beaten, only then to have that father see his son be killed infront of him 😭. Definitely one of the darkest scenes in Power Rangers.

Deker's Japanese counterpart has it slightly worse... the red ranger DOES finish him off by splitting him down the middle 👀

Meanwhile, super sentai is like..... hold my beer

I’m still impressed that Power Rangers RPM was geared towards kids despite the messed up plot line of the post apocalyptic world

Zordon's death, The Thunder Zords destruction, the Wild Zords' destruction, Magna Defender's backstory, Lord Drakkon's backstory, and the RPM World and Trini's death all shocked me.

Had the transition to Disney not been made and Cole's parents needed to not be dead, it would have been revealed that Jindrax and Toxica were Cole's parents transformed into Orgs.

There is a moment on Time Force when Eric, a power ranger of all people, attempted to murder a defenseless and harmless mutant simply because he wasn’t human. If that wasn’t dark, then I don’t know what to call it.

That time Kimberly broke Tommy’s heart via letter was hard and dark.

This is officially the longest watchmojo list/video I've watched and i watched the top 10 and 20 for this and damn this video was long but worth it keep up the power rangers content watchmojo may the power protect you all!

for Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Trakeena was combined with Deviot so some part of that was Deviot in her mind. & also in the 1st mmpr movie when Ivan Ooze missed up the inside of the commandon center & almost killed Zordon

To me, the more dark parts of the show involve antagonists preying on the insecurities of protagonists. Examples that come to mind include Scorpina praying on Adam's confidence issues by pretending to be his prom date, Kat resorting to disordered eating in Turbo, the mixed messaging of Justin handling his bullies in Turbo, and the bad optics of writers keeping their only black main character in Africa prior to Zeo. Power Rangers RPM has the craziest implications for each of their backstories. Dr K being gaslighted into being a recluse and working on military science; medical supplies being smuggled and resold instead of readily accessible; coercing your daughter into marrying in order to maintain financial stability; being walled by your father following the death of your sibling; being captured and having your body violated; fighting a war outside of the only survivable atmosphere at the cost of your development, and as a result becoming children stuck in adult bodies willing to blow up a prison full of people without thinking it through; I'm sure there are more examples, but these are just the ones that come to mind.

Never underestimate anyone's actions no matter how they appear on the surface. Divatox is the perfect example of that, doing what Rita, Zedd, even the Machine Empire, took months and years to do. Say what you will about Turbo but that ending was not only sad and gripping, it was a great watch. Kendrix's demise was also extremely hard to watch, even to this day.

I don't care what anyone says. But the 2017 Power Rangers was absolutely awesome. I loved every minute of it! only wish they made a sequel!!

And still no Super Sentai or Kamen Rider List. Great job Watchmojo~

What's really wild is that in space, lost galaxy, lightspeed rescue, time force and wild force address some real adult issues....some of it is ridiculously dark for a kids show........

The alien attack in Lost Galaxy was really creepy

This should be expanded into a Top 50 list or more so that the darkest moments from the comics can be included. I mean Darkest Hour and Shattered Grid have some of the darkest moments in the entire Power Rangers franchise.

So many heartbreaking moments. Thunderzords destroyed.Karone is kidnapped,Billy drowns, Deker's defeat,Ransik's hatred,end of Green Rangers,Power Ranger loose their base,Magna Defenders past,really sad and tragic,Kendrix sacrifice,Trini's death,so sad.Zordon's death so sad. Tragic,sad. I remember. Doctor K unintentionally starts the Apocalypse. Shame what she did. But she has good intentions. Happens sometime. Tragic. Great video!

Honorable Mention: The entire earth swallowed up into a black hole (Power Rangers Super Dino Charge) In their attempt to finally destroy the Dark Energem, the rangers recruit everyone on earth to reflect sunlight onto the dark energem up in space destroying it. Unfortunately the power from within the Dark Energem unleashed a black hole that not only sucked up Sledge's ship, but the entire planet earth with it. Though the Rangers use the power of their combined energems to time travel back to not only stop Sledge back during the prehistoric times, resulting in the planet earth never being destroyed but created an alternate timeline where the dinosaurs never went extinct. Though everyone on earth was restored thanks to time travel, they still pretty much sacrificed their entire planet and the entire population of humans.

There is a plot hole. How was Diabolaco able to save Ryan when he was supposedly imprisoned in the coffin with the other demons?

It was super dark when Ollie was brainwashed to fight against his fellow rangers the entire season of Cosmic Fury!

Every time Kendrix’s death is brought up, the last line of the Evil Rangers list always rings in my ears. “Psycho Pink managed to do what no other villain on this list managed to do. She destroyed a Power Ranger.”

Power Ranger Mystic Force Dark Wish Parts 1, 2 & 3 were really dark episodes

The way Vrak left Metal Alice to die was pretty dark

Divatox being the only one to ever defeat the Power rangers and stil getting fired from the job

Well Zordon's spirit never died. He came out on Power Rangers Cosmic Fury!

I think Ivan Ooze attacking the Command Center and almost successfully killing Zordon from MMPR the Movie should've been on the list as well as Lord Zedd taking advantage of Jason's guilt for not saving Tommy's powers in Season 2 of MMPR.

Power Rangers RPM (2009) Dr. K's Sad backstory Alphabet Soup dumb villain name evil as Fuck !!!!

What about bansheera intentionally getting Loki and diabolico killed to get her body back,lord zedd killing the morphing masters and heckyl being a menace

That is the most darkest moments in Power Ranger I ever seen. And that moment in Power Ranger Samurai too.

I haven't watched this show in a long time, but I'll start watching after hearing this list. Thanks, Watchmojo. 💖🎉

Doctor K ... nuff said.

Doggy Cruger losing his entire planet and his people was a dark moment in any of the Ranger Seasons!

Top 10 Darkest moments in the Transformers franchise

Dark wish is one of the best 3-part episodes in the franchise (series finales not included).

The Dear John Letter From Kimberly to Tommy. That broke my heart. The kids on playground were devastated

JDF's passing should've definitely been no. 1!!! RIP TOMMY OLIVER!!!😢😢😢

IRL: David Yost treatment on set

We never found out why Frax the Android wasn't brought back. Frax was redeemed and should have been revived from his dust that contains his DNA.

I've wondered for a while now if kendrix actually died, or, like Dane Romero in ninja steel, had her severely damaged bodies absorbed into her saber until the energy release when her friends returned their sabers to the alter at the end of the series. her comments of "I'm ok" and "i will always be with you", though obviously not intended to do so at the time, can be viewed as further proof of this, as can kendrix's spectral appearenses in the next episode..

I can't believe they got away with a child murder on a children's show.

Time Force best dark action drama of the Franchise

I think the darkest moment for me is when karone turned back to the evil side altho its only bc by mind control. She just reunited with her brother and became the good hero she so strived to be. Just like that shes taken away. Luckily she reformed and became the first villain to ever became a ranger

I say the moment where the Dark Energem is destroyed and creates a black hole that sucks the entire Earth from Dino Super Charge is pretty grim due to the fact that it was all the Rangers fault. Although the Rangers would rewrite history, they are left with the memory of their greatest success and failure. And while Sledge would be revealed to survive the black hole and enter the Main Dimension a couple seasons later, it it still unknown what happened to the Earth.

#1: _EVERYTHING_ behind the scenes.

Do the Super Sentai version, it's a lot harder to to get over the lose of them

Ninja Storm Shane Clarkes Worst fears is so Dark n uintentionally foreshadows what would’ve happend to Pua Magasiva His brother Rob wanted to help him get counseling n therapy but Pua wanted nothing to do with tht💔😭😓

12:44 HOLLUP! I didn't knew Starship Troopers sharing the same universe as the Power Rangers!

The time Dayu made the deal, it was with Master Xandred who did so, however Serrator took his place.

Zayto's Death in the Power Rangers Dino Fury Season 2 Finale was so tragic instead of the word "Destroyed". He almost "Died" as well. Because I'm so getting tired of the word "destroy" in the Power Rangers Universe series was so annoying for me as well for sure.

RPM was the best.

Fun fact: at 23:20, that's the car that was used as the Knight Industries Four Thousand from Knight Rider 2000.

green no more was dark because tommy was getting his ass kicked by goldar bad and goldar was rubbing it in by showing him old memories of him being the green ranger

The scene from time force were the kids all most died by an explosion scared me thank god trip saved those kids

Its good that they are making more videos of Power Rangers Thanks watch mojo

The fact that Zach raised Minh was due to the fact that Zach and Trini were in a relationship in the MMPR:Pink graphic novel. Also, SPD was originally comprised of Rangers from other teams when it first came to Earth. One of these members was Tommy and Kat’s son JJ who inherited Tommy’s Master Morpher and used Tommy’s final Morph which was Tommy’s Green Ranger powers. JJ was able to continue to use Tommy’s Green Ranger Powers after only morphing one time with Tommy’s Master Morpher.

R.I.P: Power Rangers. 1992 to 2025.

Javí loosing his arm when he unlocked the Cosmic Fury Zords

Amazing video watch mojo of the most darkest moments in the power rangers franchise ever,fantastic job.

What about the death of Kite in Wild Force? I know Kite can be annoying, but we do see a human child death on Power Rangers. I mean how seeing a child die on Power Rangers isn't dark?

Top 10 Super Sentai series before Zyuranger

Here's 1 in my school vr game that was sort of connected. Is the reveal of the Super Demon (Goalius super demon voice actor did Lord Zed in cosmic Fury and the biggest point was his introduction during a raid on a military grade base with him just walking through the bases defence like nothing and absolutely devastating the base is grim as hell)

We need a video highlighting the happiest, most heartwarming Power Rangers moments.

I hope we get a sequel for 2017's Power Rangers movie down the road.

I love the Power Rangers

My childhood with my brothers and cousins

In all honesty, I'm so fucking glad that y'all only included the TV shows. P.S: This is my first time being here this early!

I recently rewatched Samurai, and I agree that Dekar and Deiu definitely belong on this list. I will add, upon rewatching, that Sir Raider said he spent 200 years planning to split the Earth. That's about the same time Dekar was cursed. I think Sir Raider set that cabin on fire intentionally in order to trick Deiu into helping him create the half human half Nilock. Either way, I think its the most tragic villain story in Power Rangers.

Uh Lost Galaxy when they were attacking the ship knowing 911 was around corner, Magana Defender death and his son, the Scary and best ranger episode based on DOOM 12:31, pink ranger death, Trakeena goin beserk, The brother death in first episode i mean Lost Galaxy is the best series for a reason

Can you do top 10 Power rangers battlizers and a top 30 Black Rangers in Power rangers

Super Mega force: The full on invasion of the Armada at the end

Power Rangers Jungle Fury is the best power rangers adaptation to ever touch a live screen. Iykyk.

Were those starship trooper outfits in 19?

12:26 RIP Jason David Frank

Um... Javi losing his freaking ARM doesn't even rate an honorable mention?!

Wes Collins' father almost dying was a pretty dark moment in Time Force, and it led to possibly one of the best character developments in the show in Mr. Collins.

Jason David Frank is still alive when I'm watching this. RIP, Green Ranger.

If, Power Rangers, Can Be Dark Again, They Need To Adapt Every Sentai Season, With No Filler.

It really says a lot when rpm was able to take the dumb talking car motif from its cringe-inducing senati and turned it into a fucked-up post apocalyptic future, where 95% was originally footage, and not part of the mainline continuity due being in another dimension.

Oliie Turning Evil once in Dino Fury & Almost the entire Season of Cosmic Fury, When Javi Loses his Arm after Unlocking a Portal for the Zords from Zordina in Which Its the 1st ever time when a Power Ranger Lost his Arm but solon mentions that someone also went through with that, and When Ameila Had a Scary Flashback to when she & her parents Landed on Earth from Rafkon and she was Taken away from Pop pop for Safety and She never saw her parents again until she realizes that her parents were Void Knight & Queen.

How is someone losing there power a darker moment then someone dying regardless if they were resurrected?

Technically zordon does not die his energy is dispersed through the universe to either eliminate evil or cleanse evil from physical bodies. Thus ending one universes story in the power rangers multiverse.

I NEED MORE POWER RANGERS CONTENT!

That episode of Lost Galaxy that parodies Alien is one of my favorites!

When the lightspeed aqua base was destroyed and the Megazords were taken over

Forget about PR Dark Moments, Forget about Sentai Dark Moments....what we need is a Top-whatever-number Kamen Rider Dark Moments 😂

Ransik is not a sympathetic villain.

Now do sentai

Some of these are not dark in the slightest. You wanna talk dark? Transformers 1986 Movie. First Jazz and Braun Then Ratchet. Then "such heroic nonsense" blast to kill Ironhide. Seeing Arcee drag in the dead bodies of Wheeljack and I think Cliffjumper was grim. But of course the scene that can still make this almost 42 year old man cry, seeing Optimus heroically going out but his body for some reason turned black. As a 4 YEAR OLD, do you know how traumatic that was? My mum said I cried for days. And i know for a fact I was not the only one!!

the theme for power rangers is hate...the same theme is hate for anime..coinsidence?

One of the darkest moments in Power Rangers history overall is a real-world story in which Ricardo Medina, who played Cole Evans/Wild Force Red Ranger and also Deker in PR Samurai, did prison time for killing his roommate by running him through with a Conan replica sword after an argument between the two and his girlfriend.

Let me tell yall something, the loss of the thunder zords should never be at the bottom of any list, that ish was crazy watching them fall apart

carnisoar altering jarrods memories was crazy

Interesting to know about the Sentai Counterparts 29. Frax Counterpart Gien also had a tragic backstory of being if I remember correctly retarded good person who couldn't even count. Main antagonist was actually treating him well and Gien once got beat up to almost death by foes of the main antagonist who then turned him into a robot to save his life, but with time Gien would unfortunately become insane completely. 26. Well, Trent's Counterpart was not so lucky with his fate. 22. Jared's Counterpart Rio's family was killed in front of his eyes by the actual main antagonist because he was bored and wanted to create evil within Rio. 20. In Zyuranger, the candle was the Counterpart's actual life force and when after the candle, he died. Even more sad is that Green was Red's older brother. 10. Alex Counterpart also died. 9. The background story is very similar with Mirloc murdering the ranger's family member and using that against him to get free from the tear reflection, but it was not Sky's Counterpart as the ranger in focus in the story but Sam's Counterpart. 4. Almost same backstory and present story, but in Sentai it was not his son but his little brother. One more, just like Zordon and Trini and in comparison to PR Rangers like Kendrix who get resurrected or such, most of the Sentai Rangers die permanently.

It's been 25 years since Zordon sacrificed hs life for the good of evil
