In early 2018, coinciding with its silver anniversary, Power Rangers ended a 25-year partnership with [[Creaotr/{{Bandai}} Bandai America]] as their toy manufacturer to team up with Creator/{{Hasbro}}, who several months later bought the franchise outright (alongside several other Saban properties, excluding elements from the original Japanese source material, which are still owned by Toei and require Hasbro to license their use) and assumed production of the series beginning with its 26th season (''Beast Morphers''). The only PR properties Hasbro doesn't own outright are the three feature films; the first two are owned by Creator/{{Disney}} while the third is owned by Creator/{{Lionsgate}}.

* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: A time-honored tradition across several seasons. Usually, a high-ranking henchman is a loved one of the heroes who has been [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] or otherwise made evil. The motivating question becomes, "How do we both defeat them and save them?" In order:
** ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'': The first and arguably the most iconic. Astronema, chief henchwoman to Dark Specter, is [[spoiler:the Red Ranger's long-lost sister, Karone. She tries to defect once she learns the truth, but is recaptured and [[UnwillingRoboticisation made into a pure-evil cyborg.]] She's eventually saved in the finale.]]
** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'': Zeltrax is [[spoiler:Terrence "Smitty" Smith, [[TheMentor Dr. Oliver]]'s old college buddy who's been nursing a grudge for years. Unlike most examples, Smitty/Zeltrax was NotBrainwashed, and there is no saving him in the end.]]
** ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'': Koragg the Knight Wolf is [[spoiler:Leanbow, Red Ranger Nick's long-lost father. The power of fatherly love breaks the brainwashing on him and he joins the Rangers in the final arc of the season -- just in time for [[GreaterScopeVillain the Master]] to try to turn Nick into the new Koragg.]]
** ''Series/PowerRangersRPM''. Tenaya-7, the TokenHuman in Venjix's robotic army, is [[spoiler:Black Ranger Dillon's long-lost sister. What follows is [[RecycledScript lifted beat for beat]] from Astronema's story in ''in Space'': she tries to defect when she learns the truth, but is recaptured and made into a pure evil cyborg. She's eventually saved in the finale.]]
** ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'', the [[CoDragons Avatars]] are digital duplicates of Blaze (Red Ranger Devon's martial arts rival) and Roxy (Blue Ranger Ravi's romantic interest), carrying out Evox's evil plans while their physical bodies are comatose. Roxy in particular loves to mess with Ravi's head by pretending that her true personality is trying to reassert itself.
** ''Series/PowerRangersCosmicFury'': [[spoiler:Ollie the Blue Ranger is brainwashed by Lord Zedd [[FirstEpisodeTwist in the premiere episode]] and spends the rest of the season either attempting to kill his friends or building a machine that turns villains into {{Physical God}}s. They finally break Zedd's hold on him in the penultimate episode, and he becomes the EleventhHourRanger.]]
