# Power Rangers Cosmic Fury

Power Rangers Cosmic Fury is the thirtieth season of the American television series Power Rangers and the third season of Power Rangers Dino Fury. The season was announced on August 28, 2022, and premiered on Netflix on September 29, 2023.
Cosmic Fury uses some footage from Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, while using new suits with modified helmets carried over from Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, with minimal costume and prop elements being recycled from Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger and Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. It is the second and last television series produced by Entertainment One following its acquisition by Hasbro in 2019, before it was changed to Hasbro Entertainment.
According to executive producer Simon Bennett, Cosmic Fury was intended to be the final series set in the franchise continuity that started with the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in 1993, with Hasbro instead opting for a franchise reboot. These reboot plans were initially to be developed alongside Netflix, however, in 2024, it was announced that Hasbro would be searching for a new creative partner.
It was nominated for Favorite Kids TV Show and Favorite Female TV Star for Hunter Deno and Tessa Rao and Favorite Male TV Star for Chance Perez at 2024 Kids' Choice Awards but lost to Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Olivia Rodrigo for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

| Following Zayto's warning, the Rangers try to find Lord Zedd, fighting off an army of monsters with aid from Billy Cranston and Mick Kanic. Zedd, with aid from Bajillia and Squillia's new invention, eventually emerges, bringing in another monster named Doodrip who squirts a blue slime on them, corrupting Ollie in the process. The now-evil Ollie opens a Cosmic Gateway with a Dino Key, sending Zayto through it to deep space. The Morphin Masters try to help the remaining rangers, but they are captured by Scrozzle's latest invention The Master Captivator; however, Master Red is able to give his staff to Javi. As the team ponders over their next actions following their defeat, Billy and Mick identify a pedestal Javi saw in a vision from Red. Suddenly, Ollie strikes again. Amidst the resulting battle, Javi plunges Red's staff into the pedestal to summon a fleet of new Zords, losing an arm in the process. With the new Zords, the rangers, sans a traumatized Javi, form the Cosmic Fury Megazord to defeat the enemy before retreating, while Amelia tries reaching out to Ollie before knocking him out and taking him to safety just as enemy reinforcements arrive. Afterwards, everyone tries to make a plan for the future, while Billy reflects on the Rangers' resolve. ||||||

| Billy works on a new prosthetic arm for Javi while Solon, Amelia and Lani unsuccessfully try to cure Ollie and Izzy and Garcia discuss Zedd's invasion. Meanwhile, Doodrip steals Squillia's ship, intending to destroy the Rangers before Zedd. As a result, the Rangers are sent to fight him, eventually destroying him with the Cosmic Fury Zords. Back at Dinohenge, Javi's prosthetic arm nearly causes an accident, and Amelia and Lani propose using an energy conductor to reverse Ollie's corruption. However, amidst the preparations, Zedd attacks Dinohenge, destroying the statues and depowering the Rangers except for Ollie's, who affirms his loyalty to Zedd. Cornered, the Rangers and their allies retreat, teleporting their base and themselves out of Earth to another planet, Erridus. Following this defeat, the team is discouraged, but with Amelia's help, they regain their morale, before discovering that Fern, who was searching for Izzy, is still in their base, having been teleported in during the fight. ||||||

| As the Rangers and their allies struggle on their next actions following their base's relocation, Billy theorizes about the ability to make new Ranger powers after placing a Dino Key near Master Red's staff. Just then, Aiyon is attacked by an alien named Scuttleworm while trying to find food to eat, forcing everyone to drive it away. Using a recently erected antenna tower, Solon hears of Zedd's invasion of Earth and notes that the other Rangers' Zords cannot be summoned due to a forcefield surrounding the planet. As everyone settles down, Aiyon admits his grief over losing Zayto, but Amelia helps him calm down. Just then, Scuttleworm attacks again, but Aiyon lures him away. Billy returns with a new set of Morphers and Cosmic Orbs for the team to use, allowing the Rangers to morph again and fight back against Zedd. Meanwhile, Mick learns of Zayto's location, revealing it in a message to Lani, who is tricked into revealing this information to Ollie and Zedd, and Solon, who mobilizes the team to find Zayto before Zedd does. ||||||
| 967 | 4 | "Team Work" | Charlie Haskell | Story by : Maiya Thompson, Cameron Dixon, Becca Barnes & Alwyn Dale Teleplay by : Cameron Dixon & Becca Barnes | September 29, 2023 (2023-09-29) |
| The rangers land on Planet Levvina, and after rescuing Mick from capture they soon find evidence of Zayto's crash landing: his destroyed DinoSaber and fragments of his cape. They trek through the forest unaware that Ollie, trying to prove to Lord Zedd that teamwork is the key to victory, is shadowing them with a team of monsters. Discovering the plantlife has enough intelligence to retaliate for perceived threats (slapping Aiyon when he pushes the leaves roughly), Ollie tricks them into being captured by vines. However, they soon realise that the forest of the planet is actually a collective sentient consciousness, and using telepathy Aiyon and Amelia convince the forest of their true alleigances, and Ollie is quickly forced to retreat. As the others protect the planet from Squidrills, Aiyon then heads to the tree where he pulls Zayto from its protective care. They both thank the forest, though Aiyon is left visibly shaken when he can't read Zayto's thoughts anymore, and the forest cryptically tells Zayto to 'enjoy the time you have left'. Back on the ship, Zayto morphs into the Zenith ranger using Master Red's staff as his weapon and discovers Solon, Billy and Fern have turned the base into a spaceship. Meanwhile, Zedd has dominated Planet Eltar, homeworld of his late nemesis Zordon, and at his mountaintop lair tells Ollie, who has seen the error in thinking teamwork was essential, that the only thing that matters in existence is survival at all costs. ||||||
| 968 | 5 | "Rock Out" | Charlie Haskell | Story by : Alwyn Dale, Becca Barnes, Maiya Thompson & Cameron Dixon Teleplay by : Maiya Thompson & Becca Barnes | September 29, 2023 (2023-09-29) |
| The team sees that Earth and other planets are defenseless against Zedd. Finding that Bajillia has a streaming channel live, The Rangers learn Zedd has found a zord which Billy recognizes from the pedestal on Zordnia as the missing Cosmic Dragon Zord, which presumably got separated eons ago and crashed on Planet Akraal. With Javi, Izzy, Fern, Amelia and Aiyon disguised as a metal rock band, they arrive at the mine and start a concert to distract the workers. Ollie quickly realizes the distraction and orders the band attacked (not realizing that the fifth member is Fern and not Zayto). Fern soon blows her cover, and Ollie returns in time to watch Zayto activate the dragon Zord and escape with it, but not before Ollie throws a tracker on it. The team defeats a Squid boss and heads back to base. The rangers get a message from Tarrick on Earth and learn that Zedd has taken many humans as hostage, including Javi and Izzy's parents, and a spy working for Tarrick has passed intel that the Squid Drills work together to maintain the force field around Earth. So the Rangers prepare the Cosmic Cruiser for launch. Whilst Ollie reveals his tracker scheme, Zedd is annoyed by Squillia talking incessantly about her new crush, shown in selfies to be Heckyl. ||||||
| 969 | 6 | "Take Off" | Charlie Haskell | Story by : Becca Barnes, Alwyn Dale, Maiya Thompson & Cameron Dixon Teleplay by : Maiya Thompson & Alwyn Dale | September 29, 2023 (2023-09-29) |
| During engine tests on attempting a launch, the boys encounter a giant Scuttleworm whilst Billy manages to get the cloaking field back online to protect the ship. Tests show there is a problem with the new thrusters, so Billy and Solon go because Izzy stops Fern from helping. They are able to get the thrusters working, but Solon is ambushed and taken by Scuttleworms leaving her comms behind. Amelia refuses to leave without her, not realizing that the tracker Ollie planted has led him right to Erridus. Zayto uses magic to locate Solon but is quickly exhausted from it. A Copyguard then launches an orbital bombardment to force the rangers out of hiding, so while the others use the zords, a weakened Zayto and Izzy go looking for Solon leaving Fern behind after Izzy convinces Amelia to leave her safely on board. Ambushed by Ollie, Zayto and Izzy fight them whilst Fern, seeing everyone is in trouble, takes the last Cosmic Morpher as a weapon and teleports to Solon just as Scuttleworm attacks her. Unable to teleport out again, Fern prepares to fight so the morpher bonds her to DNA from Solon (a Solonosaurus) to become the Cosmic Fury Orange Ranger, and they teleport out leaving Ollie to fight a horde of Scuttleworms. Meanwhile, Squillia delegates her duties of protecting Earth's forcefield so she can spend more time with Heckyl. Izzy apologizes for her overprotectiveness and the girls make up. Zedd reveals to Ollie that his plan to dominate the universe involves the energy of the Morphin Masters, still trapped in the Captivator. ||||||
| 970 | 7 | "Operation Seasoning" | Charlie Haskell | Story by : Alwyn Dale, Becca Barnes, Maiya Thompson & Cameron Dixon Teleplay by : Alwyn Dale, Steve McCleary & Cameron Dixon | September 29, 2023 (2023-09-29) |
| Zayto awakens from a long sleep to find the Cosmic Cruiser orbiting Earth, and the team has a plan: using a time-coordinated attack where Tarrick's spy disrupts the forcefield long enough for the two Megazords to enter the atmosphere and start destroying Squidrills worldwide, they can start releasing the imprisoned Ranger teams and fight back. Heckyl gifts Squillia a spa treatment for the day and offers to stay and cover her whilst she's away, but Omwhyzo prevents her from leaving. Heckyl then blows his cover and morphs into the Dino Charge Dark Ranger to lower the forcefield, but fails and is captured and imprisoned. Unaware the plan failed, the Cosmic Megazords are pulled in by Earth's gravity and neutralized. All the Rangers bar Aiyon and Zayto are captured: Zayto sends the Zords back into the Morphin Grid for protection, but faints again as the two are rescued by the Resistance. Solon and Aiyon question him over his fainting: Zayto reveals he was resurrected by the Morphin Masters using a portion of their magic, which is what sustains him. But as he uses magic it is depleting fast, reluctantly admitting that when the last is gone he will die again and forcing the others to keep it secret. With a new plan to use Grid Battleforce's Transporters, Zayto uses magic to turn Solon giant as a distraction so Aiyon can teleport Squillia's Mega Squidrill, sending it crashing into the prison allowing the captured humans and Rangers, including Heckyl, to escape. Solon takes a fainted Zayto back to base to rest while the other Rangers summon their Zords and take out the remaining Squidrills. Tarrick kills Omwhyzo, while Billy and Heckyl capture Squillia. ||||||
| 971 | 8 | "Switching Sides" | Michael Hurst | Story by : Becca Barnes, Alwyn Dale, Maiya Thompson & Cameron Dixon Teleplay by : Becca Barnes & Cameron Dixon | September 29, 2023 (2023-09-29) |
| Unable to gain any information from Squillia's mind about Zedd's plans (as instead of paying attention she was thinking of designer sunglasses), the team turn their attention to a plan from Lani: she believes that destroying the Triceratops Statue will break his corrupted link to the Morphin Grid and turn him good again. Aiyon returns to his cafe to close up, and stumbles upon Slyther and Mucus in human form (through magic and a permanent wish charm respectively). He learns that they quit evil to become Circus Performers until Zedd's invasion interrupted them. Realizing they are now good, Aiyon takes them to the Resistance Base with a plan: they pretend to still be evil, infiltrate Zedd's base and destroy the statue. Mucus being stuck in human form causes problems when she and Slyther don't want to be separated, so Zayto uses his magic to break the wish charm and turn her into her old form. Zayto faints again just as Bajillia arrives to rescue her daughter, having tracked her phone. Mother and Daughter put up a good fight, but Amelia, Izzy and Fern combine attacks to kill them both. Slyther disguises himself as Squillia for the plan and the Rangers leave to tend to Zayto, unaware that Bajillia's tentacle survived and is slipping away. The Rangers realize Aiyon and Solon are hiding something, so Zayto awakens and, apologizing for his deception and the position he put his friends in, reveals the truth to them all: when his little remaining magic is gone, he will return to the Morphin Grid forever. Slyther and Mucus manage to destroy the Triceratops Statue, destroying Ollie's Ranger Powers forever but, Ollie, declaring himself to be loyal to Zedd, captures them. ||||||
| 972 | 9 | "Master Plan" | Michael Hurst | Story by : Alwyn Dale & Becca Barnes Teleplay by : Becca Barnes, Alwyn Dale & Guy Langford | September 29, 2023 (2023-09-29) |
| With little magic and life remaining, Zayto promises to not use magic unless it's solely to protect the team. Zedd calls the Rangers to reveal that Bajillia is still alive, and that despite losing the statue Ollie is still evil. While Zedd is distracted torturing Slyther and Mucus, Ollie attacks him: his corrupted link was severed, and he pretended to still be evil. Before the feed is cut he reveals Zedd's ultimate plan: to turn himself into a Morphin Master. Amelia plans to launch an immediate rescue mission, however Billy tells her that himself and the other Ranger teams are busy liberating the rest of the universe: if she goes now she'll be leading her team into a trap with no backup, but she insists on going due to the risk Zedd poses if he connects to the Grid. Arriving on Eltar they are attacked by Inkworth, and finding themselves outgunned form the Cosmic Fury Ultrazord to win. The Rangers storm Zedd's fortress and rescue Ollie, Mucus and Slyther with Ollie and Amelia reconciling. However the doors shut as Bajillia had rigged the entire complex as a trap including blocking teleporters. With seconds before detonation and no way to escape, Zayto uses the last of his magic to create a forcefield to protect the team. With his power gone, the Morphin Grid opens up and takes him away and Aiyon, refusing to let go, has his spirit taken into the Grid as well, leaving his body unconscious. Ollie hatches a plan to combine all their weapons into a Blaster, and is helped by Solon who discovers Zayto's T-Rex Cosmic Orb has turned into a Tricera Orb, giving Ollie powers again. But they arrive too late: Zedd has absorbed all the energy from the Morphin Masters, and evolves into Master Zedd, easily defeating the Rangers and destroying the Zords. Suddenly Bajillia and Scrozzle betray him, capturing Zedd inside the Captivator. As Solon sends a distress signal, Bajillia reveals her true plan from when she first freed Zedd was to help him gain absolute power, then destroy him and create a shockwave to destroy all good in the Universe. ||||||
| 973 | 10 | "The End" | Michael Hurst | Alwyn Dale & Becca Barnes | September 29, 2023 (2023-09-29) |
| Aiyon awakens in a white void with a being that looks like Zayto, who, through cryptic words, tells Aiyon that Zayto's mortal life has ended. The being sends Aiyon back to his friends with a final farewell, May The Power Protect You. Slyther and Mucus hijack a Squidrill and cause a distraction to allow the Rangers to escape with the Captivator, which gets damaged in the process. Having heard Solon's distress signal, Billy and other Ranger teams arrive in their Megazords to engage the Squidrill armada. Aiyon awakens, and unable to stop the Captivator's destruction, the team decides to send it into the Morphin Grid to detonate it safely, though the blast might sever every Ranger's power. Returning to the pedestal on Zordnia to use Zayto's staff, they are confronted by Bajillia who had stowed away on their ship. The Rangers use the Cosmic Blaster to kill Bajillia for good, but an errant shot from her dropped weapon hits the tube. Suddenly Zayto emerges from a portal, dressed like a Morphin Master, and takes himself and the team into the tube to talk to Zedd. Zayto explains that Zedd will not survive the blast either, and promises to free him if he relinquishes his power; Zedd reluctantly agrees. Zedd is later shown to have defeated the Rangers anyway until his wife Rita Repulsa calls for him. It is revealed Zayto has trapped Zedd on the Planet Nibyro to be imprisoned in his worst nightmare (being alone with his wife). This planet will also trap anyone trying to rescue Zedd too, though Zayto suggests that Zedd may some day redeem himself and become good. The freed Morphin Masters are grateful but uncertain how Zayto is now one of them, though Aiyon believes the being he spoke to was responsible, which confuses matters more as no being capable of this exists. With Zayto now a Morphin Master, Zayto and his friends have a heartbreaking goodbye, though he promises he will always be watching over them as he and the other Masters return to the Grid. Sometime later at a concert, Tarrick and Santaura reveal they gave birth to a girl they named Poppy, and Javi sings a song named after the being's farewell to Aiyon, which Billy links to Zordon, musing with Mick that Zordon is still out there. ||||||
