Was Billy supposed to be the Gold Ranger? Yes. In Power Rangers Zeo (1996), the Gold Ranger powers were offered to Billy Cranston FIRST - before Jason. Billy couldn't accept them because he'd been exposed to negative proton energy, which made him incompatible with the Gold power. So he recommended Jason Lee Scott, who became the Gold Ranger in the episode "A Golden Homecoming." The Gold Ranger's true identity is Trey of Triforia, an alien prince who splits into three selves and has to pass the power to a human on Earth to keep it safe.
This video breaks down the whole story - why the last original Ranger got passed over, what it cost him, and the what-if where Billy actually becomes the Gold Ranger instead of Jason.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED:
• Was Billy supposed to be the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo?
• Why did Jason become the Gold Ranger instead of Billy?
• Who is the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo? (Trey of Triforia)
• Why couldn't Billy accept the Gold Ranger powers?
• What happened to Billy Cranston in Power Rangers Zeo?
CHAPTERS:
0:00 Billy was supposed to be the Gold Ranger
0:58 Who Billy really was: the last original standing
3:03 The Gold Ranger mystery - Trey of Triforia
5:00 Why Billy couldn't take the powers (negative proton energy)
5:40 Jason returns as the Gold Ranger
6:32 The what-if: Billy as the Gold Ranger
8:03 The catch: the power drained its human host
9:05 The real reason Billy left the show
Note: Jason was only the TEMPORARY Gold Ranger. The borrowed power slowly drained his life force because it was never meant for a human to hold long-term, and Trey eventually reclaimed it.
