Z-Rex Blaster!
The Dragon Dagger
Quasar sabers are dope
Draggon Dagger 🗡

Who here expected an actual back story of how Saba came to be.
I sure did. You saved me time since the video is just detailing his first appearance lmao
Dude he explained nothing of the the back story 😂
Channels like this is better thumbed down, asked not to show anymore videos and then see if they like it. Personally hope Aaron gets stage 4 big C
Watch Dairanger
He said saba was built by zordon and alpha.
Rest In Peace green ranger 🙏🏻
Heeeee...... Might...... Return...........
@@fartzhapy4165 bro the actor passed away
@@fartzhapy4165 bro are you being serious right now 🤦
Rip Jason 😔
@@fartzhapy4165 are you being serious rn?
I named my cat Saba because of how awesome he was. He died in 2021, and then JDF last year. I met JDF right after Saba's death, and it felt as if it came full circle. I miss both of them so much, just like everyone else.
does that mean they are now together , like they did in the show?
R.I.P. Jason David Frank 🙏🏽
Rip Jason 😔
This one hit. Floods of memories pretending to fight along side Tommy and the rest of the rangers. Great video. RIP Jason.

power ranger version of pull the sword and become King.
Really surprised you didn't go over the comic storyline with drakkon. Saba played a big part in that.
Great work such a good video for a dedication to our childhood hero Jason David Frank R.I.P 🥀⚡
Man I wish they used the other 5 Dairanger suits. They all just look so dope.
R.I.P. JDF man he was 5 different rangers he’s forever solidified as a legend💯💯💯💯💯
Rest in Peace Jason David Frank 💚🤍❤🖤
May his soul be forever at peace in the light of the Morphing Grid. And my the power protect him always
JDF was the first Celebrity I ever got to meet in person, it was back in the fall of 2018 he was so Cool you guys, I took a picture with him and he Signed My Morpher, what a kind soul, RIP Jason, may the power protect you
The Green Ranger's sword (The Sword of Darkness) was my favorite Power Ranger weapon, followed by his flute danger and Green Ranger Megazord (Dragonzord).
I don't know whether there is much backstory to his sword.
Very nice informative video. Was nice seeing all the old footage again. As cool as it was filling out the video with show footage if theres anything notable in the boom or even older comics an addendum to this would be cool
I have always wondered what Saba meant and I think I might know:
In Saban's nationality's language, Hebrew, "Saba" means "Grandfather", so the production might've aimed for an experience releated name.
depending on whether lord drakkon is canon or not, saba was beheaded by him. not sure if he could be put together after that.
it also kinda sucks if saba was in imprisoned in a display case only until when tommy needed him since it was a sentient being.
Rip JDF; once a ranger, always a ranger
Fun Fact: Tommy wasn't originally meant to be revealed as the White Ranger.
basically Jason David Frank was set to headline his own Power Rangers-esque show called Cybertron, with a brand new character to be revealed as the White Ranger.
But Saban changed their minds, feeling that fans had a much stronger connection to JDF as Tommy, so they swapped the actors around, JDF returned to Power Rangers, while the actor who was meant to play the new White Ranger instead became the star of Cybertron, which later became VR Troopers
I got a saba sword for Christmas as a kid. I carried it around in my red ranger Halloween costume.
Grew up watching this power rangers series back in my country 😃. Wow my childhood ....
I thought we were gonna get comic book origins of Saba rather than the tv show... U played an important role in the Lord Drakkom saga
Does anyone else remember Saba having the ability to communicate with birds at a Power Rangers live show?
Narratively I still, all these years later, cant understand why Zordon too the leadership away from Jason, I get that Tommy was the more powerful ranger but at that point even as the green ranger he hadn't done anything to earn that spot. Especially when taking it meant to Jason got demoted after leading the team from day one
I always wondered why Tommy was suddenly made the leader of the Power Rangers, and why Jason was perfectly fine with being demoted for no apparent reason.
The theme song of the White ranger was fantastic it was like White, tiger, power and then goes rock style Go white ranger🐯🐯!
For anyone who's wondering why Tommy acted so energized and why the White Tiger Zord lost control quickly, it's because the White Ranger Sentai Counterpart was Kou, The KibaRanger; a kid who had a lot of potential, but was also a hassle to say the least.
May the power protect him ⚡
Dragon Dagger and Saba were 🔥🔥🔥
When you really think about it, it was pretty screwed up to just leave Saba on display forever in Zeo, must have been so lonely just sitting there in the pod :(
If Saba were ever remade , they would give that sword more sass and attitude then he already has lol
Watching Dairanger changed everything for me with mmpr still i love mmpr 😊
This was my childhood I miss the good old days
the green powers werent vaporized, they just simply no longer worked, and the dagger itself makes an appearance towards the end of season 2
Fun fact, at 2:08, the Kanji in the background are, starting from the top, day/sun, moon, fire, water, tree, gold/metal and ground.
These ARE...🥁 drum roll
The days of the week, in Japan. 😒 no joke. Sunday through Saturday
I always felt that Saba was criminally underutilised in the series. That's obviously down to the sentai footage where his equivalent Kibaranger was a child and spoke through the sword to mask his own voice. But Saba being made a character in his own right was given little if nothing to do in most episodes... I always felt that Saba should have graduated to team mentor, when Zordon left. transforming from a sword into a giant Tiger head in the command centre... rather like Gosei in megaforce.
Deka the Astromegaship's AI was also given very little to do in the series.
It wouuld have been cool if Tommy dual-wielded Saba and the Dragon Dagger.
Jason was like "I'm getting demoted?"
There was definitely a lot of comic content you could have pulled from to flesh this out better
Personally, once they promoted Tommy to the white ranger I think they should’ve had all of the Power Rangers looking like the senti series Of Japan, the one from which the thunder zords originated. At least then you would’ve had everybody appearing all at once in the Japanese footage as a team.
What do you think is the best thing about Saba and which one his powers do you think is the best? What would happen if we had that sword in real life?
The sixth or special ranger always gets the coolest weapons or a Zord that can become a mega zord by itself.
Since we did Saba, could we also do the Dragon Dagger?
RIP, JDF.
You should do a video comparing the White ranger to Kibaranger from Dairanger. I love PR but Dairanger is so much better, like the actual reason the zord falls is because its a baby and Kou (Kibaranger) is also a child
Once a Ranger, always a Ranger
I enjoyed the video however you did miss out on the boom Studio Comics were Saba does save Tommy's life, has a whole conversation about alternate universes with Zordon, and also was able to drive the Falcon Megazord.
That was really interesting had learned a lot
Again rest in peace JDF
I was hoping for more of Tommy in future Power Rangers series, where they could go into more about the master morpher. I guess that's never happening...
R.I.P Jason David Frank September 4, 1973 - November 19, 2022
How many of you remember a little kid as the White Ranger and wielding Saba in the Super Sentai? Is he as good as or better than Tommy Oliver?
not even close he was a little punk using his powers lift up girls skirts and used to grope the pink rangers boobs.
No he is not good as Tommy and that kid name is kou and he is one of the most annoying charecter in super sentai
I did have a crush on the pink ranger and Tommy was the coolest. I miss childhood when everything was easier.
If it's not too much Aris. It would be cool for you guys to do the Black Box from power Rangers Samurai.
I still have saba in storage from when I was a kid. Maybe I should bring him out
RIP JDF may the power protect you
you will be missed Jason David frank you were my favorite power ranger it's Morphin time
I had a crush on Trini. R.I.P to her and JDF
Great video. Please explore the original power weapons especially when the rangers combine them. And how powerful is the attack from their combined weapons?
Never had a crush on Kimberly, but Kelly from save by the bell was a different story
I just bought A Dragon Dagger and Saba this week. Rest In Power JDF aka Tommy
Yall forgot to mention that Saba functions as a magic wand .
We need history on all power ranger variants
I thought you were going to go into the history of Saba in the comics I don’t know if you read about it, but it was a nice little nugget of info but I wanted more information on that
You forgot about his best power: he speaks bird
i still own the og dragon dagger and Saba sword toys from growing up found them at a yard sale years ago now
I know you do things that mostly have comics to it but I would love to see an episode on the show Mystic knights of Tir Na Nog.
RIP GOATED RANGER KEEYAHH!!
RIP Jason David Frank
I had that white ranger toy when I was a kid and the white tiger
So the Dragon Dagger and Green Ranger powers weren't "Vaporized", Tommy simply couldn't use them anymore. This is proven when Zedd and the evil Wizard are able to clone Tommy and give him the Green Ranger Powers and Dagger
Dope. RIP Tommy
Rip JDF I will live on to be the man you inspired me to be, as a child and thank you for being one of the first power rangers actors to go to cons embrace us love us and kept on inspiring us.
Thought Saba was always cool, even when i was a wee laddie. 😎❤️🇵🇭
This is not an origin video.
This is a "All Appearances of Saba: Sword of the White Ranger" video
Gold ranger needs his own episode
So basically tommy was the fan service ranger but he’s still in my top 3
1:17 ain't it funny that Jason didn't contest the fact that he just got fired from his job as leader?
How about a “Top 10 Tommy Oliver Moments”?
Should have gone over the Boom Studios fiction. Lot's of interesting stuff with Saba there.
he forgot to mention in the power ranger comic run an alternate universe Tommy aka lord drakkon takes Saba's head later in the series you can see him wearing sabas head as a necklace and talkikg to it
Saba is like the sword version of KITT.
I think I had the saba toy when I was a kid and the flute. Wish I saved them.
My crush was the yellow ranger, RIP Thuy Trang 😥❤
I had GIGANTIC crush Tommy as a kid! 🥰😍
R.I.P. Jason David Frank. We will ALWAYS miss you! 😇🌈💚🤍💖🖤
RIP Tommy/David
I always thought it was kinda fked up how they bring back Tommy out of nowhere instantly making him team leader completely shafting Jason.😢
Rip Tommy Oliver 😢🙏 My favorite ranger ❤
The spirit of the white tigerzord watches over him now
Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal(Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
So one thing that has bothered me is when Tommy says that he is not used to working with a partner buuuuuut he literally has been working with 5 other people who in fact are his partners...ijs
White ranger you are the leader now. Lol, Red Ranger. I thought I was the leader
Was expecting the sentai version to be mentioned
Rip Jason David Frank Fr 🥺🥺
He'll always be known as Byakko-Chan to me.
"Squawk squawk. Tweet squawk tweet."
What was up with Saba taking the vow of silence during season 3 of MMPR and wherever the White Ranger appeared? What would happen if he was as talkative as ever with Tommy no matter what Ranger he was?
Rest in Power JDF
RIP Jason David frank
