329-MVA1.
-   When Master Vile said that his master plan involved the Zeo Crystal, Ninjor told him before fleeing the moon palace that the crystal would never be his.
-   According to Zordon, the Zeo Crystal was one of the most powerful forces in the universe.
-   Thousands of years ago, the people of galaxy M51 had hid the Zeo Crystal from Master Vile deep inside the Caves of Deception, beneath the surface of Earth's moon, and placed a powerful forcefield around it to protect it from anyone not pure of heart.
-   In a flashback of the hiding of the Zeo Crystal, two people in purple cloaks, one with a green cloth hanging down his back, both with staffs, secured the Zeo Crystal in a stone podium and created a forcefield around it by waving their staves around; one of the two people may have been a woman, while the other had a gray beard.
-   According to Zordon, the Zeo Crystal's power increased with time, meaning Master Vile could rule the universe if he got the crystal.
-   When Zedd told Vile that the forcefield would destroy anyone who possessed even an ounce of evil, Rita sadly told Vile, "He's right, Daddy! He tried to get the Zeo Crystal once, and look what happened to Zeddy's face!", but she was merely joking.
-   Zedd said that the forcefield was nothing to joke about, and Rita added that no one had ever been able to penetrate it.
-   After the Rangers had been forced to use the Metallic Armor to fight the super-strong Tengas, Zordon said the situation was deteriorating sooner than he'd thought it would and that, as he'd feared, one of the Rangers would have to capture and destroy the Zeo Crystal to prevent Master Vile from obtaining it.

330-MVA2.
-   After traveling through the Caves of Deception and enduring a number of illusions crafted to make him think otherwise about going after the crystal, morphed Tommy shoved his hand into the Zeo Crystal's forcefield; after Tommy had lifted the crystal out of its stone podium, he continued to be bathed in flashes of white light and the sparkles of the forcefield as he remembered wrecking the Command Center and attacking the Rangers in the Dino Megazord cockpit as the Green Ranger.
-   Red energy came from the podium and wrapped around Tommy, then flowed into the Zeo Crystal, and Tommy remembered fighting Zedd's Putties with the Rangers as the Green Ranger and fighting Face Stealer with the others as the White Ranger.
-   After Tommy's good memories, the forcefield faded, as did the Kat illusion in the Caves of Deception.
-   In the chamber of command, morphed Tommy held out the Zeo Crystal, and it drained all the evil from Kat that the Revivafier had put in her.
-   The Zeo Crystal was being stored temporarily in the Falconzord's engine room as the Ninjazords and Shogunzords fought giant Globbor.

331-MVA3.
-   Master Vile had sent the Zords to a conquered planet in the M51 galaxy, moved the Zeo Crystal from the Falconzord to the Shogun Megazord, and established an energy link with the crystal to activate it from anywhere.
?   Although Billy and Zordon said the Zeo Crystal had been moved into the Ninja Megazord, the Rangers actually entered the Shogun Megazord and found the crystal there.
-   Zordon told the Rangers to use their Power Coins to activate the Zeo Crystal to free it from Master Vile's control, but that if they drained their powers too much, they wouldn't have enough energy to return home.
-   When Master Vile decided it was time to activate the Zeo Crystal and destroy the world, he released blue and yellow energy snakes from both hands, after which red eyebeams from the Ninja Megazord, Falconzord, and Shogun Megazord combined into a single red beam which shot to Earth and decimated entire buildings.
-   The Zeo Crystal was in a central podium in the Shogun Megazord's engine room.
-   The Rangers still intended to destroy the Zeo Crystal, but first they had to break Master Vile's connection to it.
-   The Rangers used the energy of their Power Coins, combined with the Morphing Grid's energy that was being drawn by the Shogun Megazord's panels, to break Master Vile's connection with the Zeo Crystal; in the process, they also regained control and full power to the Zords.
-   The Zeo Crystal could be seen to consist of five different thin subcrystals, each with a different shape: the circle, the double bars, the triangle, the square, and the star.
-   After making Master Vile retreat, the Rangers went to the desert to destroy the Zeo Crystal; Billy had them use the Metallic Armor to protect them from extra energy that might be thrown off during the crystal's destruction.
-   When Kat asked whether the crystal could be destroyed, Billy suggested that they break the crystal into pieces and scatter them, saying they couldn't allow any chance for Master Vile to assemble the crystal ever again.
-   Morphed Tommy threw the Zeo Crystal into the air then sliced it with Saba as it fell back down, breaking it into its five component subcrystals.
?   In the desert, it seemed that Billy thought for them to break the crystal into pieces and scatter them, but after morphed Tommy had split the crystal apart, the teens already knew that Zordon was creating a temporary hole in time and space and that they would have only ten seconds to throw the subcrystals through the time hole.
-   Tommy said that nobody, not even they, the teens, would know where the subcrystals were.
-   When each of the five Rangers but White Ranger picked up a subcrystal, Rocky picked up the star, Adam the circle, Aisha the square, Billy the triangle, and Kat the double bars.

338-Bulk.
-   In the simulated past (see "Orb of Doom"), Zordon said that there was only one object on Earth strong enough to restore time and the teens' powers: the Zeo Crystal.
-   Young Tommy said that the Zeo Crystal's pieces were scattered all over the Earth, and Billy noted that Zordon had sent them through a time hole vortex to make them very difficult to find, but though the powers they emanated, Zordon had been able to pinpoint the country and time period in which each subcrystal was located; this seems to indicate that Zordon had not originally chosen the subcrystals' destination time periods and countries.
-   Zordon told the kids that they must seek out the subcrystals separately, as each one restored a particular Ranger; he said it would be a quest for their roots, and if they succeeded, each subcrystal would restore each kid's true age and powers greater than they had ever imagined.
?   It's unknown how the five Zeo Subcrystals had come to be located in countries and time periods appropriate to five of the teens' heritages, or why the five subcrystals' locations excluded Billy, who had in 336-CEvF already restored his own age, making him unable to activate a subcrystal, since, as Zordon explained, the subcrystals would only respond to those still affected by the Orb of Doom's time regression.

339-WYTh.
-   The kids, Billy, and the Aquitians came to the spot, near what looked like a dried-up pond in the foothills, which was the longitude and latitude Zordon had calculated as the beginning point for the kids' quests.
-   Delphine told the kids to look for connections to their heritages and that the spirits of their ancestors would show them the way.
-   A swirling dark blue cloud crackling with white energy filled up the rocky basin in the location Zordon had pinpointed for the starting point for the kids' quests for the Zeo Subcrystals; each of the kids sequentially jumped into the swirling cloud, propelling them into their different destinations in time and space.
-   Young Rocky, later that day, was the first to return from his Zeo quest.

340-ACSp.
-   Young Adam was the second to return from his Zeo quest, seemingly a different day from Rocky's return.

341-SSOE.
-   Young Kat and young Tommy simultaneously dropped out of the portal into the Command Center a different day from Rocky's and Adam's earlier Zeo quests.

343-HdA2.
-   After young Aisha had spent a night and part of a day in Africa, young Tanya was the last to return with a subcrystal; she did so on a day separate from the other kids' returns.
-   When Billy stabbed the yellow subcrystal, the final piece, into the other subcrystals in the crystal transformer, the yellow subcrystal glowed yellow as the others glowed with multicolored energy, then all five glowed multicolored as they spun around in the transformer, then they all glowed light blue and projected a light blue stream of energy upward.
-   The ground trembled as the Zeo Crystal came to life.
-   Glowing red, blue, green, yellow, and pink Zeo shapes orbited the Earth and returned the planet to the present, undoing the Orb of Doom's effects.
?   Young Bulk and Skull were at a playground having a swinging contest; when the Zeo Crystal restored time, they were still wearing the same clothes and were still concentrating on the swinging contest, but they both soon grew confused, and they planned not to tell anybody about what had just happened.
?   The five teens were all in the Command Center, where they had been as kids before the time restoration, and they were wearing identical (but larger) versions of their kid clothes.
-   Billy and the Aquitian Rangers were unaffected by the time restoration.
-   When the Zeo Crystal restored time and thus the proper ages of the teens, it also made young Tanya, who was from an unknown time in Africa, the same age as the teens; her memories and continuity of thought were apparently unaffected during the time transition, indicating that the time period Tanya was from had been under the effects of the Orb of Doom's time regression.
-   After the Zeo Crystal had returned time to the present, Zordon had Alpha locate Aisha in Africa again to make sure that she had made the transition safely; Aisha, a teen again, walked back to Ashalla, and Ashalla hugged her, telling her, "Welcome home, child," not appearing confused that Aisha had left as a child but returned as a teen.
?   Once time had been restored, the teens (Tanya not included) and Billy were able to use their communicators to teleport with their old Ranger colors, despite the destruction of the Power Coins and the new links to the subcrystals' colors.
-   When Goldar took the Zeo Crystal from the crystal transformer, it glowed briefly with red energy, and Rito and Goldar then teleported away; twenty seconds later, the implosion device's timer reached zero, beginning a series of small explosions, and over forty seconds after that, the Command Center finally exploded completely.
?   When Alpha teleported the six teens out of the Command Center as it was exploding, they teleported with their old Ranger colors, with Tanya's color being yellow even though she was never the Yellow Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger.

400-PRZP.
?   The Power Rangers had been missing for some time, and it had been quiet in Angel Grove for several weeks, when the Machine Empire arrived, but at that time, Rita and Zedd were just starting to celebrate their victory over the Rangers; exactly how the Zeo Crystal had restored time and undone the time spent in the Orb of Doom's time regression is unknown.
?   When Rita was shocked by what she saw in her telescope while looking at Earth, Zedd asked if Rito and Goldar had done something stupid again, but in 343-HdA2, Rito and Goldar had been in the process of trying to steal the Zeo Crystal before the Command Center was destroyed; why Rita and Zedd weren't concerned about the Zeo Crystal in these previews or in 401-AZB1 is unknown.

401-AZB1.
-   The six teens spotted a gleam of light from beneath the rubble of the Command Center; the teens removed the pieces of debris and discovered that it was the Zeo Crystal, briefly glowing yellow as it was unearthed.
?   The Zeo Crystal was somehow still in the rubble of the destroyed Command Center, and Rito and Goldar were now amnesic on a residential street in Angel Grove; the two villains no longer had their swords, and Goldar had lost his wings.
-   Tommy held the Zeo Crystal up, and it again glowed yellow, this time until shortly before Tommy went to put it down.
-   Adam supposed that Rito and Goldar had dropped the Zeo Crystal, but he couldn't believe it had survived the blast.
-   After Kat asked if the Zeo Crystal still had its power, Zeo-colored pulses of energy flew from it; Rocky remarked that he thought the crystal had heard her.
-   Billy told Tommy not to hold the Zeo Crystal, as there was no telling what effect the implosion had had on it.
-   The moment Tommy had placed the Zeo Crystal on the ground, white energy flashed outward from it and glowed around the six teens' feet as the chunk of earth beneath them began to sink.
?   The six teens said they couldn't move their feet, preventing them from moving elsewhere, yet all throughout the sinking process, their feet could be seen moving around.
-   After sinking down several feet, the ground beneath the teens suddenly dropped and then crumbled as they fell down a long shaft.
-   As soon as the teens had fallen down the shaft, pieces of rubble in the ruins of the Command Center began to levitate and reassemble themselves.
-   The six teens landed with a crash in the Command Center basement.

402-AZB2.
-   Zordon said that the Zeo Crystal would bring the teens much greater powers than they had ever thought possible.
-   Zordon told the teens to behold the fully-energized Zeo Crystal, then white energy bolts shot out from his eyes and created a translucent image of the Zeo Crystal floating near him for a moment, until his energy bolts made it vanish.
-   The Zeo Crystal appeared from blue energy rings; it was hovering in the Power Chamber, then with white energy rings it split up into its subcrystals, each glowing with its Zeo color; the pieces hovered over their owners' heads, shining their Zeo colors down onto each teen.
-   Each teen's Ranger helmet descended onto his or her head from the subcrystal hovering above, and Zeo-colored energy then suited him or her up as a Zeo Ranger.
-   Zordon explained to Tommy, Adam, and Rocky that the subcrystals they had retrieved had given them new colors.
-   After suiting the Rangers up, the subcrystals turned sideways and flew into the Rangers' Zeo-shaped visors.
-   Zordon told the Rangers that the power of the Zeo Crystal now resided within them.

428-PwOG.
-   The energy signatures of the Zeo Subcrystals and Pyramidas were an exact match; Pyramidas and the Zeo Rangers were using the same energy source.

434-GHom.
-   To energize the Golden Power Staff and buy the teens more time to find a new Gold Ranger, the staff was in a bed of glowing red crystal, just inside the western double door alcove of the Power Chamber, with only the pink Zeo Subcrystal visible in the bed; the others may have been present but obscured by the other thin, pointy crystals in the group.
-   While the "Zeo Crystals" were being used to energize the Golden Power Staff, the teens couldn't morph, and teleportation only worked within a certain radius around the Power Chamber.
-   The Treys said that the Super Zeo Gems, which they called the remaining key to the Zeo power, had been in their care for over a millennium, waiting to be returned to their rightful owners; Zordon had thought that the Super Zeo Gems had been lost forever.

500-TPRM.
-   When semi-morphed Kat plunged into a body of water after failing to completely morph during her fall, the morph shorted out with pink impact waves on the surface of the water and pink flashes of light underwater, with Kat now back to her unmorphed form.
-   Zordon said that if Divatox joined forces with Maligore, not even the Zords (Zeozords, Super Zeozords, etc.) would be able to stop them; this would be the last time anything Zeo-powered would be mentioned or seen, with the exception of the Gold Ranger's reappearance in 642-CTD2 and 643-CTD3.

331-MVA3.
-   When each of the five Rangers but White Ranger picked up a subcrystal, Adam picked up the piece bearing the circle.

341-SSOE.
-   For her Zeo quest, young Kat appeared from the dark blue time cloud, which was in a hollowed-out tree trunk, in the Outback in an unknown time period.
-   Young Kat was walking down a dirt road with vehicle tracks in it when Agatha, a girl looking just like Kat's teenage form, dressed in pink, drove up in a jeep.
-   When young Kat mentioned looking for a crystal, Agatha replied, "The crystal? Yes, of course, why didn't you say so? I've been waiting for you."; she told young Kat it was hidden and that she would show her to it.
-   Agatha stopped the jeep by an old woman with a cane who looked just like Kat would as an old lady; the woman said she'd wandered away from her home and couldn't find her way back, but Agatha told young Kat that the crystal would be lost if they didn't get to it immediately; Kat got out anyway to walk the old woman home.
-   Just before turning away for young Kat to walk her home, the old woman smiled at Agatha.
-   Agatha watched young Kat and the old woman walk away, then after wishing Kat luck with a smile, vanished along with the jeep in pink energy.
-   At her farm house, the old woman insisted that she give young Kat a token of her appreciation; Kat tried to refuse, but the woman brought out from her house a black chest containing the pink subcrystal.
-   The pink subcrystal was initially glowing pink when young Kat removed it from the chest, but the energy then flowed down her arms.
-   The woman told young Kat that when people sacrificed their need to help others, they were always rewarded; she told young Kat she was very proud of her, and they both hugged.
-   Young Kat and young Tommy simultaneously dropped out of the portal into the Command Center a different day from Rocky's and Adam's earlier Zeo quests; Kat had a pink energy oval around her.

331-MVA3.
-   When each of the five Rangers but White Ranger picked up a subcrystal, Kat picked up the piece bearing the double bars.

342-HdA1.
-   On her Zeo quest, young Aisha appeared in an African savannah in what seemed to be the present (see "Tanya").

343-HdA2.
-   Ashalla told young Aisha that she, Aisha, had come to learn, to reach her potential, and to deliver them from this time of great struggle, in which the animals were sick from a plague and thus threatened the camp; she said that Aisha was the chosen one.
-   When young Aisha interjected that she had been sent there on a quest to find something, Ashalla said that she had often called on the power of her personal talisman (actually the yellow subcrystal) when she was unsure; she gave it to Aisha now in hopes that she would stay.
-   The yellow subcrystal was in a decorated chest, glowing green.
-   Yellow energy flowed up young Aisha's arms when she held it, and the subcrystal became colorless.
-   When young Aisha exclaimed that the subcrystal was what she had been sent to find, Ashalla said that they had been told that there would be a time when it would save them and that perhaps that day had arrived.
?   For young Tanya to return with the yellow subcrystal in Aisha's place, the two girls had to return to the location where young Aisha had first arrived in Africa, but all of the other subcrystals had been able to open portals back home in locations other than the kids' starting points.
-   As young Aisha gave the yellow subcrystal to young Tanya, yellow energy flowed up Tanya's arms from the crystal.
-   After young Aisha and young Tanya had said their goodbyes to each other, Tanya flew up into the portal above her with yellow energy double bars, then in the Command Center, dropped down from the portal with the same double bars.
-   After young Aisha had spent a night and part of a day in Africa, young Tanya was the last to return with a subcrystal; she did so on a day separate from the other kids' returns.
-   In the Command Center, young Tanya, knowing who Billy was, handed him the yellow subcrystal and told him that the crystal was for him; she was presumably giving him the crystal for him to unite the Zeo Crystal, but another possibility is that she was transferring ownership of the crystal to him.
-   When Billy stabbed the yellow subcrystal, the final piece, into the other subcrystals in the crystal transformer, the yellow subcrystal glowed yellow as the others glowed with multicolored energy, then all five glowed multicolored as they spun around in the transformer, the Zeo Crystal having been activated.
-   When the Zeo Crystal restored time and thus the proper ages of the teens, it also made young Tanya, who was from an unknown time in Africa, the same age as the teens; her memories and continuity of thought were apparently unaffected during the time transition, indicating that the time period Tanya was from had been under the effects of the Orb of Doom's time regression.
-   After the Zeo Crystal had returned time to the present, Zordon had Alpha locate Aisha in Africa again to make sure that she had made the transition safely; Aisha, a teen again, walked back to Ashalla, and Ashalla hugged her, telling her, "Welcome home, child," not appearing confused that Aisha had left as a child but returned as a teen.

402-AZB2.
-   After Zordon had shown the teens an image of the fully-energized Zeo Crystal, Billy reminded everyone that the five subdivisions of the Zeo Crystal would only provide enough power for five Rangers; Tanya volunteered to step down, since Billy was more experienced than she was.
-   Billy admitted that although they all had more experience than Tanya, working with the Aquitian Rangers had made him realize that his being in the Power Chamber might be more important than his being a Ranger; he said he thought it was time to pass the power on to someone else, and he said he was giving "his" crystal to Tanya; from this point on, he said, she was a Power Ranger.

331-MVA3.
-   When each of the five Rangers but White Ranger picked up a subcrystal, Billy picked up the piece bearing the triangle.

339-WYTh.
-   On his Zeo quest, young Rocky appeared in a wheat field in what appeared to be Mexico's past, seemingly near the time when Rocky's grandfather was a boy.
-   Young Rocky's mentioning a crystal made Pablo nervous; Pablo then said that he only knew of one crystal, the "Crystal of the Volcano" (actually the blue Zeo Subcrystal).
-   The legend in Pablo's village said there was a crystal in the volcano above the village, and that its magic was very powerful; no one had ever been brave enough to climb the volcano and claim it.
-   Pablo told young Rocky that the crystal was supposed to be located under the summit of the volcano near an old charred tree stump; Rocky used a rope to climb down into the volcano to retrieve his subcrystal.
-   As Rocky climbed down, the volcano was trembling, and it had magma inside at the bottom.
-   The blue subcrystal was sticking out of the rock inside the volcano, glowing yellowish-green, and then crackling with green electricity as young Rocky reached for it; the volcano quaked violently and had explosions in the magma.
-   After Rocky had removed the blue subcrystal and held it close, blue energy flowed down his arm from the now uncolored subcrystal.
-   The volcano was calm once Rocky had removed the subcrystal.
-   After being thanked by the local villagers, young Rocky held out his subcrystal, and a triangle outline made of white energy appeared and opened up above him a dark blue portal, into which he flew upward and vanished.
-   Young Rocky dropped out of the portal in the Command Center with the white energy triangle.
-   Young Rocky was the first of the five kids to return from his Zeo quest.

331-MVA1.
-   When each of the five Rangers but White Ranger picked up a subcrystal, Aisha picked up the piece bearing the square.

340-ACSp.
-   For his Zeo quest, young Adam found himself in the Diamond Mountains in Korea, where his grandmother had been born; he presumed he was in the past.
-   As young Adam anticipated, the green subcrystal was sticking out of a rock, hidden behind Kai-Ogi's waterfall.
-   When young Adam held his subcrystal, green energy flowed down his arms.
-   Kai-Ogi said that it had been Adam, not himself, who had found the subcrystal.
-   As young Adam casually held his subcrystal by his side after exchanging goodbyes with Kai-Ogi, it generated a large square outline from green energy, then sucked Adam up into the portal.
-   Young Adam dropped into the Command Center from the portal with the green energy square.
-   Young Adam was the second to return from his Zeo quest, seemingly a different day from Rocky's return.

331-MVA3.
-   When each of the five Rangers but White Ranger picked up a subcrystal, Rocky picked up the piece bearing the star.

341-SSOE.
-   For his Zeo quest, young Tommy found himself in a Native American land in an unknown time period.
-   True of Heart brought young Tommy to a place up the mountain where crude drawings were on a rock wall; pointing to the drawings, True of Heart recounted to young Tommy the tale told by his people for generations: "'A stranger will come,' so the story goes (pointing to drawing of a person with long black ponytailed hair). 'He shall come in search of the light,' symbolized by rock (points to sun and mountains, drawn close together). 'A crystal (points to drawing of red subcrystal), pure in power.' (points to crude drawing of Zeo Ranger Five's helmet) Are you the one?"
-   After young Tommy had responded that he was looking for the crystal, True of Heart smiled and walked away chuckling.
-   To the right of the Zeo Ranger Five helmet was a drawing of Lord Zedd's staff, with arrows flying between the helmet and staff; to the right of that was what looked like a cluster of three teepees.
?   True of Heart told young Tommy not to give in to worry but then immediately afterward told him that he was running out of time and that if he didn't find the crystal it would be lost forever.
-   True of Heart presented young Tommy with three slender objects, each wrapped up in brown material; one was the red subcrystal, while the others would insure that he remained there for all eternity; young Tommy had to trust his heart, close his eyes, and concentrate.
-   The ground rumbled while young Tommy had his eyes closed, and the side two objects vanished in small bursts of fire, leaving only the red subcrystal behind.
-   When young Tommy held his subcrystal after unwrapping it, red energy flowed up his arm.
-   True of Heart congratulated Tommy on fulfilling his quest and connecting to his inner self.
-   True of Heart gave young Tommy half an arrowhead, telling him he had also earned it; he said it was to remember his time here, and that one day he would find the other half, and then his personal quest would be complete; True of Heart was in the process of telling young Tommy what secret the arrowhead would reveal when Tommy was sucked up into the portal above with a red energy star.
-   Young Kat and young Tommy simultaneously dropped out of the portal into the Command Center a different day from Rocky's and Adam's earlier Zeo quests; Tommy had a red energy star around him.
