In "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always," the character Minh Kwan, who is the daughter of Trini Kwan, finds herself facing the emotional turmoil of dealing with her mother's legacy and the actions of Rita Repulsa. The mocking and torment from others about Trini, who was a beloved Power Ranger and a strong figure, add to Minh's struggles.
As she grapples with her feelings about her mother's past and the responsibilities that come with being a Power Ranger, the presence of Rita Repulsa and her malicious actions creates a heavy burden. This emotional weight makes it challenging for Minh to focus, especially when she is expected to harness her powers and morph into a Ranger.
The tension between her feelings of insecurity and the expectations placed on her due to her mother’s heroic legacy can create a mental barrier, making it difficult for her to fully embrace her role as a Ranger. The film illustrates how personal struggles and external pressures can conflict with one’s responsibilities, often leading to moments of hesitation when courage and action are needed the most. This internal conflict adds depth to Minh's character development throughout the story.
