Did it seem random that Black Condor died in Jetman?

It seems wierd to me that Gai Yuki got killed off so randomly in Jetman. I mean he didn't even die saving the worked. He just randomly got killed chasing a mugger, long after the Jetman saved the world. Seems kinda random to kill him off so randomly at the end. Its like they wanted to shoehorn in some drama. It seems pretty rare for Sentai to do this to one of its Rangers.

I really liked that part actually. It made a nice dramatic end to the series. It was surprising but it worked. It was something thats not commonly done and not really done now. And really I dont expect something like that to happen again.

But don't forget Burai. He is the only other major death that I can think of.

I know. But Burai's death was part of the main plot. It wasn't an after thought it the finalie.

I don't like the idea of Rangers dying. I'm glad MMPR didn't have Tommy die. Its far too depressing for Power Rangers. And if I was big Super Sentai plan, I would say the same thing about characters dying in that franchise too.

There were rumors that it was actually considered by Tzachor and some of the crew back then. But it was early on and never something written or in the formal planning stages. So it was never close to happening. I don't think Fox would have let them.

So glad it didn't happen. Would have made no sense at all. It would have ruined MMPR and the franchise would be dead now. Leave the death to Sentai if you must have it.

same here but technically death still does happen in Power Rangers. Zordon and the Magna Defender are good examples of this same with Zika Magna Defender's son.

Niella also died because of her using the full extent of the Gatekeeper powers.
Master Mao died.
We had at least two deaths during RPM with Summer's Butler and Scott's brother.

Thats one of the reasons I only like MMPR. I hated that they had so many deaths. Especially Zordon. Thats one of the reasons I only want MMPR canon. So Zordon can still be alive.

I always thought that was a little wierd when I first read about it. Never had a chance to watch Jetman. But it does seem out of left field.

I would have rather him die in the final than after chasing some mugger. A little too soap oprah for me.

The Burai storyline was perfect and made a lot of sense. It added to the overal story. It really completed Geki's own arch.
