Stop the Hate Master (2)

The in-universe reason for why none of the affected Rangers actually tried to get away from their former friends despite Rocky stating he wanted to do so is because they were trying to fight Hate Master's spell from the inside, but were unable to due how strong he is until Aisha comes in and saves everyone.

In fact, I bet the affected Rangers were having inner monologues that went like this:

Rocky: What are we doing?! We are friends!

Kimberly: I feel like a puppet on a string! I see my arms and legs moving, but it's like I'm watching someone else! I can't stop myself - I don't wanna stop!

Billy: I can feel Hate Master playing with our minds - even though he's far away! We'll never break his spell!

Adam: We're supposed to be friends! But we hate each other!

Tommy: I know there's something wrong with this picture, but I don't know what it is!

Then, once Aisha showed up and gave them the strength to break the spell, the five all said to Hate Master, "Hey Hate Master, I didn't hear no bell."

That's my headcanon for why they still stick around each other despite being under the spell.
