So thats why Tommy could still have his powers in "Green No More" and Kim having a Shark Cycle. The Shark Cycles we're actually all US footage.
It was Season 1 and 2 that used Zyu2 footage actually... and of course a bit of Season 3.

They did a ton more american footage during that point. Space and Galaxy are examples of Ranger seasons that totally did there own thing ( Since MEgaranger and Gingamen we're not about Space Rangers).
That's correct, some seasons try to adapt Sentai closely like in the case of Time Force, Wild Force, Mystic Force and even to some points... Space, Galaxy and S.P.D.
That's true with Space doing its own thing since Megaranger was a video game oriented season but Space still decided to keep a good portion of the Sentai plots.

Unlike early PR had ( obviously now they are similar to Sentai, with little inter-season continuity besides team ups).
Indeed, Sentai can get away with a lot more because their standards aren't as strict as U.S. censorship is... so they can be more violent and have darker plots as well as darker monsters.
Actually Sentai doesn't really have a continuity, that's what some people tend to say, it doesn't have a continuity unless they need to make it work in the story like with teamups/crossovers and Gokaiger.

That's correct, not to mention Jungle Fury using Sunglasses instead of the Gekiranger Henshin Gloves.
Also Riki had what we knew of as a Zeonizer to transform into KingRanger but Jason and Trey didn't have a Morpher.

you're probably right in regards to why they opted for giving him a Morpher.
