Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Season 3)

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3 was the final season to carry the "Mighty Morphin'" name. Its Sentai source was Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, which translated into Ninja Squadron Hidden Ranger. However, alongside Season 2, it did not use the Kakuranger Suits for the core Rangers and were used for the Alien Ranger series instead. Much of the season was also heavily serialized, with mutltiple-part storylines sowing the seeds for events such as the Masked Rider television series, the eventual departure of long-running character Kimberly and the events that would tie directly into the opening episodes of Power Rangers Zeo

Synopsis
Rita Repulsa's brother, Rito Revolto comes to The Moon with strange eggs. He takes on the Power Rangers to impress his older sister, and decimates their Thunderzords. Zordon sends them to the Desert of Despair where they find Ninjor who, after some reluctance at first, grants them Ninja Powers as well as new Ninjazords. The Rangers continued their fight against Rita and Zedd until Katherine Hillard, an Australian gymnast/ex-diver comes to Angel Grove under Rita and Zedd's spell. Kimberly is captured by Goldar but is eventually rescued by Tommy and the Rangers also gain the Shogun Zords. Katherine later breaks free of Rita's spell and tells the rangers everything. Kimberly passes her powers to Kat but then comes Rita and Rito's father, Master Vile who wants to gain the power of the Zeo Crystal. The Rangers thwarted that plan and one involving the singing Dischordia monster but Master Vile's third plan basically stripped them of their powers, reversing the Earth's time back a few years and turning the Rangers into kids.

Although Billy escapes the spell, The other Rangers then search for the Zeo Crystal while new Rangers from a water planet, Aquitar defend the Earth. They beat back Rita & Zedds forces and the Zeo Crystal is reassembled, but while this has been happening Rito and Goldar have been infiltrating the Command Center and destroy it successfully. The Rangers end up finding the Zeo Crystal in the Command Center's remains. The end of MMPR and enter Power Rangers Zeo.
