Realistically yes, but what matters is how it's handled in the annals of fiction when the actor of a beloved character does pass away! When it happens suddenly in the middle of a show's run, then their character probably will pass away suddenly off-screen. However, it's been over 20 years! They could've come up with a myriad of better explanations, and they chose to make a debatable one. Thuy's passing is being interpreted as dying in battle and as a plot device to motivate her daughter. There's no way to stop the feeling of dread over this approach! All that's left is the final product and whether they can stick the landing or drop the ball. Will feelings, mine included, change with time after it's released? Maybe, but not immediately.

Crossover? I'm pretty sure this is just MMPR.

I'm not totally convinced that it is just MMPR! Granted, I didn't think things through when I said "crossover" and should've just said "anniversary special"! Oh, well.

In the previously seen group shot, Adam (Johnny Young) looks like he's wearing something akin to S.P.D., and I'm not the first to notice this!

The origins of Robo-Rita are also curious. Created off-screen by Zedd? An old duplicate made by the Machine Empire? Gasket and Archerina? Scrozzle using Ryjack's Reanimizer which was last seen being used to create Goldar Maximus?

The dark background as the Megazord wields the Power Sword also makes me wonder. Are they going to supplement the special with Sentai footage, perhaps using Ultimate Dai-Satan from the Strongest Battle? I'm probably reaching, but they did adapt Satan Minosaur as Lothorn, Lokar's nephew.

I also find it odd if we have Zedd back and he DOESN'T interact with a robotic duplicate of his wife!

Also, isn't Rita supposed to be the Mystic Mother (or generally accepted as such thanks to Udonna's "known as Rita in the dark days" line)?

Possible reference to Thrax? Appearance by the Sentinel Knight, who killed Thrax?

Cameo by the Dino Fury Rangers? By the Morphin' Masters?

Lot of variables left in play.
