What Happened To The Original RED RANGER Jason After He Left The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? 

As a kid I was so distraught when Jason left. He was my hero

Jason set the standard for Red Rangers. He is my favorite ranger

It's so sad the whole "peace conference" was just an excuse to write them out of the show because they were trying to unionize as a result of the long hours and dismal pay.

Austin St. John aka Jason will always be my favorite Power Ranger of all time!! 🙌🏾

As a kid, Jason was always the one that got me hyped up for battle. The way he led the MMPR team made me feel like I was there with them. Definitely a leader I’d follow into battle with any time. When Tommy took the mantle, it was kind of hard because it was always Jason as the leader to me. Then when they replaced Jason with Rocky, I just felt like the creators made a BIG mistake by putting Rocky as the red Ranger. The guy just tried too hard to be Jason tough. In all honesty, I saw Adam as the 2nd in command after Jason left. The guy was stowick, but he was a natural leader himself no less. Jason to me will always be the GOAT Red Ranger. He only needed one version of Red to show he’s the greatest.

Jason is and always will be the most respected leader in power rangers and second is power rangers in space red.

Also when Tommy left the show due to the death of his Super Sentai counterpart, Jason was the one that held onto the Dragon power coin and the Dragonzord until Tommy's return. Also the reason why Jason was the best leader was that he could defeat a monster with just his zord, most of the other rangers usually can't do that unless team up or combined. In MMPR season 1 Jason was able to defeat the gladiator monster with just the Tyrannosaurus whereas in MMPR season 2, he was able to defeat the trophy monster with just Red Dragon. An accomplishment not many leader ranger could had done.

Jason was the best leader he knew how to always bring the fight to Lord Zedd and King Mondo

As a kid Jason was my favorite ranger and actually didn't like Tommy as the evil green ranger (as an adult I love it now hahaha) . My world was crushed when Jason left but 7 year old me didn't understand a tight production budget 😆

Jason, trini and zack did retain their powers after the transfer. Zordon said the power will always protect you.

Jason is always the true leader.

When Jason returned as Gold Ranger in Zeo, he remarked to Tommy that he didn't intend to try to retake leadership of the team. I always took this as a retcon of the are-you-happy-with-the-new-leader-of-the-power-team line. The showrunners perhaps realized it was a bad idea to declare Tommy leader back then and chose to ignore it.

It took me until the Gold Ranger arc to fully appreciate what Jason brought to the table. He had this natural charisma that was the bedrock of the original team. Tommy and Rocky just couldn’t hold a candle to him.

Jason and Zack were always my favorites. They were the best!

I thought this was going to go into the comic that showed what happened during the "peace conference" was really a secret mission Zordon sent the 3 on.

Jason was a true leader and always made everyone around him feel equally. When the green ranger arrived, he made everyone around him feel like he was better and mighty bigger than any of the other rangers around him.

Once Jason, Trini and Zack left, the show was done for me. Never the same.

Will always have Jason as the top red ranger. He’s the OG and no other red can compare

Loving the comic storyline where the peace conference is a cover for a covert deep space ranger mission

I think Jason always had his Mighty Morphin powers. Because i think there could be a reason as to why Jason was getting rejected by the Gold Ranger powers. The Gold Ranger powers might've detected that Jason still has the Red Mighty Morphin Powers it would back up on as to why Billy wasn't able to aquire the Gold Rangers Powers as well. As you recall saying the power coins were destroyed, you be correct but it wasn't the Original 5 Power Coins that were destroyed, it was the Ninja Coins. The proof is in Always a Chance when Adam morphed, he didn't say "Black Ranger Power" which invokes the Ninja powers but instead calls out "Mastodon." Plus there's a indication that Zordon didn't create the power coin but rather discovered them possibly alongside the Dragon Coin.

Jason was never 2nd in command when he was the red ranger. Despite what that line said, Jason still lead the team. Look at all the episodes that were in between White Light part 2 and the his last physical appearance in the show, he still lead the team. Tommy was never the leader when Jason was the red ranger

Jason was my childhood crush when I started watching Power Rangers. I was crushed when he, Zack, and Trini left. To me, Jason is the true Red Ranger and true leader of the Power Rangers.

Jason always gonna be the red ranger to me not weak ass was rocky lol

i remember waking up very early, maybe like at 8am on a saturday morning only to wait for the “forever red” episode to come on at 10am here in los angeles on fox kids in 2001. core memory unlocked.

I always operated under Linkara's theory that Jason's Power Coin, like Adam's was restored from Zordon's Energy Wave from Countdown to Destruction.

Jason was objectively the best ranger of all time. Yes he was also better than tommy.

I always loved the Jason Goldar rivalry. Still my favourite Ranger

Jason is best Red Ranger ever!

Beast morpher actually proves that Jason still has his powers.

It goes to show that Jason’s character never really had his full potential unlocked. He is voted as the number 1 Red Ranger and arguably the best ranger. Imaging he had as much screen time as Tommy.

I believe Jason's powers were copied to Rocky. He never lost his original Red Ranger powers or Zords. Gordon or Ninjor could've also gave him a Master Morpher where he can switch between Red or Zeo Gold.

Sad we never got to see Trini again. She was a strong person.

When he left and the white ranger took over, felt betrayed the first anime betrayal and not over it. #ForeverRed

Jason was the reason my favorite color is red

Rocky sucked. Jason will always be the red ranger

As seen in OO, the Morphing Grid is both a well of near limitless energy but it's also a physical location (energy dimension that connects all of the timelines/universes), my theory on reclaiming old powers is as follows: The grid, beyond being the source of energy used to power the rangers weapons and armor, it actually stores them when not in use (RPM not withstanding). Morphers simply call this from the grid and equip it onto the rangers. The Morphing Grid also remembers (possibly connected to the Morphing Masters in some way). If you morph even once, it remembers you connected to that set of powers and equipment and you can call upon it again. How? Just get a new key (or coin as they keys were often in the early days). The broken morphers of the Dino powers could be repaired, the shattered coins and the drained disks of the first two kinds of Ninja powers could be remade, and so on. Gosei may be related to this, a sapient super computer who continuously created backups of every single power that was used in the morphing grid. And after creating the Turbo powers simply by reverse engineering the Zeo powers, whose to say Billy wasn't more than smart enough to make a new red Tyrannosaurus power coin?

I like to think the going away party we saw in the boom comics is cannon to the show and that’s how Jason got his red ranger powers back. Then at some unknown point he got it working again.

Jason, the original Alpha Male live action for kids role model

I remember when I was a kid, when Jason came back as Zeo Gold I flipped out even more than I did at Tommy's reveal as the White Ranger.

I didn't like how they portrayed Jason in Forever Red. He was a bit of a dick. But Tommy was never the leader Jason was, and had done absolutely nothing to suggest he'd be good at it when he was selected to do so as the White Ranger.

This was very cool. It is nice to know that through out the years Jason was able to battle throughout all the adversity. I still remember watching the original Power Rangers as a little kid and Jason was always my favorite. Forever Red is probably my favorite of all the Ranger episodes even though had really started to not care at that point it was fun to see all the different Red Rangers come together battle it out with the Beatle Borgs and even share some old war stories to really let the audience know this is a shared universe.

Question - I always wondered if Jason was actually appointed as 2nd-in-Command once Tommy became the White Ranger. There was one Episode (can't remember the title) where the Red Dragon (Thunder Zord) was fighting a villain/monster and then the White Tiger Zord arrived later to assist and the villain said "The Sherrif has a Deputy?!?!?" so I then thought that maybe Jason was still in the lead (which I guess they never made clear) due to that specific part in the script. Also, does this mean that Rocky became 2nd, when Jason left? Otherwise I just saw him more as just "another Ranger" but just in Red? In Zeo, it felt like Adam was more of Tommy's 2nd.

Did anyone else notice that the bad guys in the forever red special were beetleborgs?

Jason didn't deserve to be demoted just because Tommy came back. But after he left, Tommy was clearly a better choice for leader than Rocky.

So correct title is whole history of original red Ranger.

One of my absolute favourite Rangers!! I’m rewatching the first series and I’m shocked how superior it is to all the other series Jason was the cool, popular kid that was also kind to everyone... even the “uncool” kids I HATED that Tommy was pushed to leader 😡. Jason should have continued as leader Jason should have remained as the Gold Zeo Ranger BOOM COMICS have Jason, Trini and Zach continue as Rangers after they left Angel Grove on a secret mission

My favorite red ranger , thanks for the explanation👍 now I know what happened to him ,Damm I miss the 90's very cool drawing thumbnail's📌

Tommy never lead Jason ! Jason led Tommy great video but white ranger is not a good leader and was only leader because Jason left

I liked the current storyline that's in the comics that being the fact the "peace conference" was really a cover-story for Jason, Trini, and Zack to go form the Omega Rangers, one of the best parts was the aftermath especially how there was some tension between Jason and Billy over the fact that Jason, Trini, and Zack essentially lied to them with Jason having to explain that if it was possible to tell Billy and the others they would've but given the situation it wasn't possible to reveal the truth without something going wrong.

when i first seen the power rangers i think the red ranger was the coolest ranger there is and still do

Jason was the best leader of the Mighty morphin Power Ranger in the best truck Ranger ever when Jason left the power ranger my heart broke

With Thuy Trangs passing in real life, what is the canon for Trini ?. Is she recast now with a new actress ? or is Aisha her replacement now as the yellow mmpr . It hard to know in the team reunion episodes who the yellow sabre tooth tiger ranger is? . We assume it Trini, but then where does Aisha come into it. Has Trini died now in power rangers canon also ,due to the real life actress dying , but if so then is it Aisha?. Just there is no follow up on the original yellow rangers story arch. We know all the others stories and progression , but also with Aisha in a different time period in Africa is she gone now also from the rangers universe too ? There just no clarification on both yellow MMPR, technically Aisha is the only ninja yellow ranger and the 2nd MMPR yellow Ranger. While Trini is the 1st yellow MMPR and has never become another ranger.

What an amazing video! It brought back such nostalgia. Thank you!

I never knew the PR story went so deep across the different seasons. I always just make my kids watch the MMPR version because I always thought all others were garbage lol

This is going to sound strange but Robby from cobra kai kind of reminds me of Jason. Makes me want to write a alternate storyline were Jason actually injure Bulk putting him into the hospital then cops are after him. Wonder what Zordon would have did of one if the power rangers were in trouble with the law.

I genuinely wonder how different the story would have went had Jason not left. I know Tommy became the leader afterwards. But I wonder how things would have went down after that.

Jason is always the best Red Ranger of all time!

I've recently been rewatching Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and during the transition period when Austin, Walter, and Thuy (Jason, Zach, and Trini respectively) weren't filming new episodes, but their characters hadn't been fully written off yet. You can clearly hear different peoples' voices in the fight scenes...there's even one episode where Trini has a British accent during a fight. Anytime it does show any if those 3's faces it's clearly footage from older episodes that's just being recycled for the scene. And this is all beofre Rocky, Adam, and Aisha actually become Power Rangers. Most scenes where they aren't morphed is just Kimberly, Billy, and Tommy, the other 3 are usually off doing something else off camera like scuba diving. I never noticed any of this stuff as a kid. But now, it's just so glaring and obvious. It's kinda cathartic, I guess

i just found your channel, it's nostalgia heaven. power rangers was one of my first obsessions along with ninja turtles lol

Jason always listen to Zordon how to say because a true leader will always do what's best for the team who has control of the greatest needs and that was Jason is the best leader of the same Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the gold ranger a Power Ranger Zeo

I’M NOT CRYING, YOU ARE!!

Never liked the idea that Jason passed the leader torch to Tommy

I always liked to think that all Ranger powers were restored after Zordon’s death. That would explain how Tommy had access to his White and Green powers.

love the original mighty morphin power rangers

I was always a fan of Jason and hated when it became the Tommy show.

Jason 💪💪💪

In Past I wanted to be a Red Ranger, but later I sometimes prefered to be the Black Ranger Zack !!

Jason will always be the greatest Red Ranger. Just like all the originals will always be the greatest Blue, Black, Pink and Yellow Rangers (and of course the Green and White Rangers). Maybe it's being the first or just the most episodes. Then Jason's return as the Gold Zeo Ranger and his role in the Turbo movie. The saddest tale came in the Lord Drakkon storyline in the Comics, when Jason is being given the White Ranger powers and Tommy kills him to take the powers.

Jason is the best and og leader of power ranger

Jason Lee Scott is the 🐐 and besides the only reason why Tommy was claimed leader because in reality Austin St John was pretty much on his way out by then.

Lord Zedd didn't create the green candle that destroyed the Green Ranger's powers, Rita was the one who did that. Tommy gave Jason his power coin to prevent her from taking his powers away from him for good and then he left for a while and came back as the Green Ranger once again, but this time his powers were temporary (in reality this was because Saban ran out of Green Ranger footage from Zyuranger). This is also the same reason why Tommy became the White Ranger in the following season.

Great channel man 👏🏿just subscribed

Jason is my favorate ranger the original red ranger the great ranger

Jason also appeared in Turbo:A Power Rangers Movie

Jason’s powers were copied to Rocky and not really transferred. You can see in the episode that when the powers were “transferred” Jason, Trini, and Zack still had their suits/morphers/power coins so they were merely copied not transferred.

The green and and the Gold Ranger were the best 6th Rangers ever💪!

I only watch the seasons that have Zach, Jason, and Trini and of course the rest is them

Everything changed when Jason, Zack and Trini left

Remember watching Forever Red as a child, it was everything

When I saw Jason left when I was a kid I was so mad because he was my favorite power ranger

when Jason left, i never touched MMPR series again

I definitely needed this video

OG RED RANGER#1 I WAS HIM FOR THE 5TH GRADE WHEN I WAS 10 😂👍

That was a sweet corkscrew kick at the 9:40 mark.

The best ranger of all time

No complaints this time man, everything was more-or-less right (candle thing was the only part that wasn't but its minor). Just an explanation. Boom! Comics has been doing a lot to address some of these inconsistencies and plot holes since they started writing. The Morpher Jason uses in Forever Red (and possibly the Beast Morphers team up) was a parting gift from his time in Zeo. He ultimately left to do other things and his former teammates had a bit of a send-off for him. Rocky had found the original morpher (which had a connection to the Tyrannosaurus/Red Dragon power set) and Alpha had restored it, purely as a decorative trophy of sorts. He was warned not to use it, but he obviously ended up ignoring that lol. The part that has never been explained is why the power set is not unstable like Adam's was (it was obviously not nearly as damaged and unstable as Adam's old Morpher since Alpha restored Jason's, but all the same he was warned not to use it for pretty much the same reasons Alpha tried to tell Adam not to use his in PRiS. My assumption is Jason payed a visit to Ninjor and had it repaired completely so it could be used without worry/Consequence). Rocky's Morpher in Dimensions in Danger could be the Ninja Coin variation and was apparently repaired in a similar way, and the Master Morpher is heavily implied to be the work of Ninjor though it is never stated outright where the hell it ended up coming from.

Do you only do history from the shows? Because Jason’s history as Omega Red is awesome

Jason was the first human red ranger (well atleast i believe he was) he deserves more respect and attention in my opinion.

you gonna do a omega ranger video at some point

We gone ignore that Jason and Cole beat up a Beetleborg 🤣🤣

My personal fanon for how Jason got back his powers for Forever Red do involve the Ninja Rangers comic, but also the ending of In Space. Naturally, Zedd held a long obsession with creating evil Power Rangers, and using the powers of the original Power Coins. During the Season 3, Zedd was able to actually find Jason's power, as it was no longer bound to a power coin, Rocky's morpher/power coin having been damaged beyond repair with the destruction of the Thunder Zords. Unfortunately for Lord Zedd, the Machine Empire put his plans on hold, since he couldn't use his palace, and Finnster didn't have access to the equipment required to re-bind the powers into a new coin or other receptacle. At the end of In Space, Zedd and Rita aren't destroyed by Zordon's wave, instead they were purified and became seemingly regular humans. This good Lord Zedd still had the Tyranno powers, but no reason to actually do anything with them anymore. This all changed when he received an alarm notification from his old world-breaking zord, Serpenterra. Its hiding place had been disturbed, since Lord Zedd had buried it after getting married to Rita, her refusal to destroy planets that might be conquerable meant he would never have reason/chance to use it again, and The Machine Empire attacking meant he certainly didn't want them to find it. Being no longer evil, and probably a decent citizen of Earth, he contacted Tommy, since Tommy was easier to find, being directly trackable from his connection to the Zeo crystal still being active. They needed to find Jason, so they could re-empower him, knowing Jason would be a powerful help for defeating this new threat. When Jason answered the door to a couple people he never met before, telling him they needed his help to save the world once more, he thought they were nuts. Rita and Zedd both having to bust out their over the top "EVIL" voices to get Jason to recognize them. Zedd had the power, but still no vessel to attach them to. Jason pulled out his old morpher, the faded power coin still locked in place, and asked if this would work. Zedd replies that would be perfect, and that we need to get it done right away. Since neither Zedd nor Tommy knew exactly how long it would take to re-bind the powers to the Power Coin, Tommy was forced to prepare to leave even though Jason hadn't arrived yet. Cue the sound of Jason's Motorcycle. This explanation above, is of course, personal fanon. I honestly can't think of any other way for this to have happened.

Although I appreciated Tommy, Jason to me was a better leader and as a kid i was pissed when Zordon announced Tommy as the new leader.

Jason is the GOAT, the one and only true leader of the power rangers, I loved Tommy but Jason was always my favorite! I hated it when he left and lost interest in the power rangers.

Zordon may have given the leadership status to Tommy after he became White Ranger, but even so, Jason was still essentially the leader until he left the show. Even after Tommy was granted leadership, they all still looked to Jason, Tommy included. Tommy didn't start making official leadership decisions until after Jason left.

I think i know how Jason gained his Power back when Zordon died his Power was unleashed throughout the World thus we see Rita and Zedd turn Good etc. so There's a Possibility that Zordon's Energy gave Jason his Power Back and was able to Become the Red Ranger Again

The red ranger episode was so badass.

Definitely Team Jason!!

The greatest ranger of all

Jason was my favorite Original red ranger and he still is and always will be the original red ranger.

Looking forward to more videos like this! :D
