His weapon for combat is the "Power Sword." It's the only weapon among the Power Rangers' arsenal that doesn't have a second function.
Blue Ranger
The Blue Power Ranger is the geeky guy of the group, who eventually became better and stronger in combat. His morp costume is that of a triceratops. The Blue Ranger uses the "Power Lance," which can be split into two individual Sai blades. He can use the separated blades to generate damaging electricity.
Black Ranger
The Black Power Ranger is the athletic and multi-talented guy of the group. He has the black mastodon-inspired costume. His weapon is the "Power Axe" that can be converted to a "Power Cannon."
Yellow Ranger
The Yellow Power Ranger is the shy girl of the group but fights with her kung fu. She dons the yellow saber-toothed tiger costume. She wields a twin pair of "Power Daggers" which are effective for melee and long-ranged combat. Its second function is generating an energy double slash.
Pink Ranger
The Pink Power Ranger is the cute popular school girl recruited into the group. She wears the skirted pink pterodactyl-themed costume and fires arrows using the "Power Bow," which can also transform into a harp.
Green/White Ranger
The Green Ranger first appears as a villain to the original five Power Rangers. After being free from Rita Repulsa's brainwashing grip, he later joined the Power Rangers group, and later became the White Ranger. His weapon of choice was the "Dragon Dagger." Aside from its combat uses, the Dagger was used to summon the "Dragonzord."
