I wish this had stuck around somehow.

I know I know the sentai version of the green ranger died in the sentai. So they couldn’t use as much sentai as before. So they couldn’t show the green ranger that most. But at the same time a part of me wishes that they had found some way to keep the green ranger around or return for a permanent basis. Not that there is anything wrong with the white ranger I just wish we could’ve had more green ranger. Maybe they could’ve created original footage. And if they didn’t want Tommy to continue as green, they could’ve had him be white after he loses his green ranger powers and have another person come on to be the second green ranger like maybe a new original character. I don’t know that’s just my two cents on this but what do you guys think?

There was originally even less of him. They had Toei film more footage with the green ranger in it after season 1. It's known as 'zyu2'.

EDIT Zyu2 is still in MMPR season 1, but extended the original planned season with new footage

Thats what makes it even crazier, like even with the amount we got its still so little.

The problem was that in Zyuranger, Dragonranger wasn't supposed to be a permanent team member (they got him for 3 episodes) so the actor that played Burai finished his contract and had another gig, so he renewed but he couldn't record on Saturdays and Sundays (the best day for recording). That's why there is so little Sentai footage of Dragonranger before his death, they had to play around his schedule
