to happen to you I will be gone but my spirit will forever let his good the actor received an on-screen Memorial in an episode of Lightspeed Rescue this message confirmed that the series hadn't forgotten everything manahan brought to the brand Tui Trang Fearless tiger dinosaur will be under your command the very first yellow Power Ranger left behind an undeniable Legacy Tui trang's Trini was clever Innovative and a great fighter behind the scenes the actress tried to do as many stunts as possible Trang also broke the mold for Asian representation in American Media by appearing on one of the country's most popular shows it's all a state of mind Billy you don't need to be strong for martial arts although she left the show with other rangers due to monetary disputes the fans never held that against her seven years after trang's departure she tragically died in a fatal car crash on September 3rd 2001 the outpouring of support that came afterwards just reinforced the idea that trainee and Tui Trang still represented the series motto of once a ranger always a ranger excellent work Trina thank you Mastery practice makes perfect machiko Soca [Music] Rita repulsa is a fan favorite villain for a reason while the witch was Sinister her animated delivery and enthusiasm for evil made her a joy to watch Michiko soga's impeccable physicality turned what could have been a one no character into one of the franchise's most iconic villains what a pleasant surprise welcome how can I be of service to you her work was so respected that the American production of Power Rangers opted to dub over her Super Sentai performance whenever possible if that's not high enough praise they even brought her back for a fantastic Cameo at the end of Mystic Force you are giving be a headache how dare you enter my Palace after that return she passed away from pancreatic cancer on May 7 2006. it's safe to say that no one will forget the first franchise villain ever Eddie Albert it's no surprise that the Rangers are usually the most popular characters in Power Rangers but Eddie Albert ensured that Mr Collins was the exception Wes Wes [Music] he started out as the stuck up and business-oriented Dad of the Red Ranger but over time he began to Value family and Community more than making a quick Buck son hey don't walk away from me Wesley you walk away you'll regret it although Collins never picked up a Morpher his fantastic character Arc made him memorable the actor who portrayed him passed away on September 22nd 2006. years later he still fondly remembered as one of the most complex parents in the series we will protect the entire city for free I need a good leader what about it Richard ginelli while he may not have ever done the spandex Power Rangers couldn't exist without Ernie hey guys who ordered the spinach juice janelli played the gentle and generous Youth Center manager with a real warmth his presence made the building feel like an unofficial home for the crime-fighting teenagers during janelli's tenure on the show he appeared in over 100 episodes of the series and they call themselves the Power Rangers he felt just as much a part of the show's DNA as the actual Rangers so it was a sad yet understandable blow when janelli left the series in order to focus on his health but where's Ernie oh you didn't hear well his Foreign Service Unit recalled him and he had to suddenly leave I don't know something about building a bridge in the Amazon on December 30th 2008 janelli passed away from a heart attack at the age of 47. his warmth and generosity will always be treasured peda rudder tourists udana welcome to my home Peter Rutter stands as one of the oldest actresses to ever serve as a ranger however you definitely assume she was just as young as the other cast members when you saw her in a fight Rudder showed off some serious moves when she was combating evil Beyond her combat prowess Rudder ensured her character's harrowing Journey was handled with care and honesty after becoming a bona fide fan favorite it took Everyone by surprise when Rudder tragically passed away on July 20th 2010 just two weeks after a brain tumor diagnosis this standout heroine was here and gone way too soon the tears of raw sadness before our losses I cry for my husband Lee and Moe Grant McFarland Rangers fans owe a lot to this late thespian after all his delightfully bizarre creative choices single-handedly turned lothor into one of the franchise's best villains the halflings won't have any choice but to fall in love with you once they eat them oh see I have natural Charisma he also pulled double duty by providing the voice of the Ranger's Mentor within the same season McFarland was so beloved that he was brought back years later as a new character that guided the samurai rangers I'm sorry Jaden but it is your responsibility to be the Red Ranger the fact McFarland was able to convincingly play two completely different archetypes is a true Testament to his craft his contributions to the franchise simply can't be overlooked as a result Ranger fans all over the world mourned his peaceful passing on November 20th 2018 at 71 years he left quite the Legacy to remember him by don't you think you need to know someone before you can earn their respect Pua magasiva Shane reaching for the Stars you will command the powers of the red wind ranger Pua magasifa served as the brave leader of the Ninja Storm Rangers although he didn't always take his job seriously he settled into the role as the series went on over 15 years after his tenure as the Ninja Storm Red Ranger Pua magasiva's life ended in a dark place face your fear believe in yourself and you will have nothing to fear I hear you say this the actor was charged with committing some very serious crimes against his wife two weeks after magaziva was sentenced he was found dead on May 11 2019. authorities suspect that he may have taken his own life although it's unclear what happened in the end magasiva's Sutton passing came as a shock to fans and his family alike Robert Axelrod from the moment Lord Zed uttered his first line it was clear he was a threat unlike anything the Rangers had seen before my return if you ever trembled at his voice in the past then you have to give props to Robert axelrod's commanding vocal performance this legendary actor sadly died on September 7th 2019. those Power Rangers are nothing but mere infants were defeated by children you dare call yourself an empress of evil you are not fit to destroy a cockroach I have always said that my Lord when the news broke of his passing fans didn't just mourn the voice of Zed outside of his role as the intimidating Emperor he also flexed his pipes as plenty of other one-off monsters Axelrod played everyone from bit monsters to the meek inventor Finster oh I've been looking forward to this for such a long time you're going to put quite a bite on the Rangers his legacy in
