"Look what you've done to me!"note 
  • Koragg. Being that he used to be Leanbow, imagine the horror of that situation. You fight for your friends, your family, and for what's right...only to get corrupted into a follower of the Big Bad you were fighting so that you will now attack those people you once protected. Imagine if Koragg had succeeded in killing Udonna or Bowen/Nick. Imagine if you had been brainwashed so much you no longer recognized your own family and are made to think they're your enemy...
  • Much of the Dark Wish world. It's one where the forces of dark magic won.
    • Namely, the place is a dark, monochrome hellscape where fear and despair run rampant, the people live on in fear and hatred of magic, and the Rangers are aware of what has happened. Note that this is an alternate reality created by Imperious when he made a wish that the Rangers never existed. Worse yet, they don't have their powers, which means they cannot stop the forces of darkness from growing.
    • Also, their old mentor is now mad with grief and their faithful sidekick is broken.
  • If you think about it, the magical community the Rangers discover from the first episode are a community still recovering from a war. It did happen only 20 years ago after all, and some wounds must remain.
  • In the final arc of Mystic Force, the Master has been incubating in the body of one of his followers, who has had a change of heart and intends to spend eternity in the "sleeping lake" to prevent his return. (That's worrying enough - sleeping forever, neither alive nor dead, to keep the Eldritch Abomination inside of you dormant.) Just when it looks like he's about to succeed, he's prevented from reaching the lake by another villain. The Rangers, and the audience, are treated to the sight of the Master's hatching from him: parts of his body swell before tentacles burst out of him from within, causing bluish ichor to fly. Finally, his body bursts apart and falls apart to reveal the Master's heretofore-unseen true form like an empty sack. Then, the Master promptly subjects one of the heroes to Mind Rape, making him experience his own death at the Master's hands/tentacles. That scene was in its source series as well.
    • The Master's overall appearance when he is revealed. Put simply, he looks like a combination of Carnage and Cthulhu. And that hideous skull-face. Don't worry, it only gets better. He is presented as one of the more menacing of Power Rangers villains, with virtually no comedic or redeeming qualities whatsoever, while also having an ominously deep voice and that laugh. It's a real wonder how the producers decide to put him in a kid's show, no less.
    • The Japanese concept art for the Master's true Eldritch Abomination form — his body is composed of skulls. Thankfully, most of this isn't seen in the show, red tinting prevents it.
    • The Master's god-awful screech when he is introduced.
    • Speaking of his introduction, the first fight was especially graphic, with the Rangers stabbing him with their weapons, and a burst of magic spews out and tears off his armor. The best part of that? The Master treats it like they flayed his skin off!
    • Worse, when he makes it to the real world, all that effort did was expose his true face, which by the way is even more hideous beyond compare.
  • In the final battle, when the Master is defeated after his body begins bulging up from too much magic, you can see the yellow light (that signifies the explosion), move across his stomach like a tear, implying his stomach was literally ripped open from being too full.
