The series introduced a child actor as the new Blue Ranger, and featured the departure of the long running characters Zordon and Alpha 5, as well as the team of Rangers, sans Justin, and introduced four new characters to take the place of the veteran Rangers.

Synopsis

After the defeat of Maligore, the Turbo Rangers graduate from high school and prepare to resume life as normal, but are attacked by a vengeful Divatox. Soon after, the Rangers long time mentors, Zordon and Alpha 5 return to Zordon's home planet of Eltar, making way for the spectral Dimitria of Inquiris and the next in the line of robots, Alpha 6. Other changes are also seen as Ernie leaves the series and Lt. Stone takes over the Juice Bar and Bulk and Skull are turned to monkeys. Also the first Allie Blue Senturion arrives later from the year 2000, with a message for Dimitria and the rangers that Lord Zedd, Rita, The Machine Empire and Divatox will team up to destroy the universe, but fails to show complete message due to Divatox corrupting it at the end of it, although its believed to be Dark Spector.

Later on in the season, the Rangers must pass on their powers to a new team and choose four new candidates to replace them, with Justin being the only remaining member of the team. This episode sees the return of Zordon and Alpha 5 for the event. The Rangers are also joined by other allies such as the Phantom Ranger and a mysterious being from another world.

The end of the season also sees the team learn of the capture of Zordon by Dark Specter, though Zordon is able to warn the Rangers not to rescue him as it would leave the Earth defenseless. A short while later, the Rangers loose both Turbo and Rescue zords in battle with the most powerful monster Goldgoyle that Divatox created. Also Demetria and the Blue Senturion leave for Eltar to help Zordon, while the destruction of the Power Chamber begins once Divatox manages to find the location and storm it with her army of grunts and monsters, defeating the team and blowing up the Power Chamber. Before Divatox trys to finish off the rangers she receives a message that Zordon has been captured and the order of Dark Spector (Grand Monarch of Evil) that they all have to leave for the Sumerian planet. The powerless Rangers then find a way off of Earth and head for space to save Zordon, with Justin choosing to stay behind with his father.
