That said,KimberlysPower Rangershistorywas relatively short compared to other characters, at least in the TV show.

Seeing the first- and second-generation Rangers move on without Kimberly was bittersweet, particularly Tommy.

Regardless, KatsPower Rangersjourney was only getting started.

Replacing one of the most iconic Power Rangers of all time was no easy feat for Kat.

MostPower Rangersseasons are standalone stories that introduce a new set of characters.

However, up until Zordon died inPower Rangersin Space, this was not the case.

Now using footage fromOhrangerinstead ofZyuranger,Power Rangershad to make some adjustments regarding the colors.

Rocky became the Blue Ranger as a result, whereas Adam went from black to green.

However,Kat got to keep herMighty Morphincolorand became Zeo Ranger I Pink.

WhenPower Rangersentered itsTurboera, the transition was seamless considering thatTurborangerused the same color scheme asOhranger.

Kat was now theTurboPink Ranger, her third and finalPower Rangersform.

Kimberly established a legacy that would influence all other Pink Rangers in the franchise, including Kat.

The fact thatKimberly remains so iconic 30 years laterdespite having only appeared inMMPRshows how impactful the character was.

Not having Kimberly inOnce & Alwayswas disappointing, but Kat’s return asMMPRPink was exciting.
