Career-Ending Injury: Prior to the story Tommy got into a fight with a monster who not only gave him a particularly nasty spinal injury leaving him in need of cybernetic implants but also damaged his Master Morpher making the morphs problematic.

Virtuous Character Copy: While taking after Batman: The Dark Knight Returns's and Old Man Logan's respective eponymous characters in making Tommy more cynical and jaded, as well as a case of Dented Iron, Tommy's depiction here also lacks the Dark Knight Returns Bruce Wayne's sadism and fascism, and the Old Man Logan James Howlett's status as a Broken Hero.

Alternate Continuity

comment
Alternate Continuity: Subverted; unlike the rest of the comic line, which has its own continuity, Soul of the Dragon is set within the continuity of the TV series, with "Dimensions in Danger" serving as a stealth prequel. Initially averted due to the TV series and comics being not 100% connected via main universe canon due to the rights being managed by Hasbro and Boom! Studios respectively until Hasbro themselves released a Christmas card as mentioned below.

comment
Passing the Torch: Part of Tommy's Character Development is realizing that not only does the fight go on but also that it can go on without him and that it is in good hands. He even literally hands his last morph to J.J. in the final fight, allowing his son to use his original Green Ranger Powers to rescue himself and save the day. At the end of the story Tommy and Kat sail off on vacation leaving Anara and J.J. to continue, with J.J. receiving an S.P.D. Green suit with his father's Dragon shield.

What Happened to the Mouse?: The comic finally answers what happened to Scorpina after she was banished to another dimension for trying to gain more power. Which led to her becoming Lokar's prisoner; he eventually released her into the prime dimension with most of his original allies dead.

comment
All for Nothing: What Tommy believes all the fighting and good that they did as Power Rangers amounts to since there is still conflict in the universe. Kat is more optimistic when she assures him that while things aren't much better, they're also not worse. They saved the world several times and that still matters. The world is pretty much the same with Rangers there to fight evil, this is what they fought for and that the fight continues.

Drama-Preserving Handicap
 Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon (Comic Book) / int_efacc623
comment
Drama-Preserving Handicap: Tommy's Master Morpher was damaged the last time he used it; as a result, while he can still morph, he can only morph in reverse order of his previous powers (Dino Thunder to original Green), he can only hold each morph for a short time, and once it demorphs he cannot use that Ranger form again, forcing him to carefully choose when he morphs (Anara explicitly observes that he's saving the Zeo powers for a truly desperate situation given how powerful they'll be by now).

Earn Your Happy Ending: In contrast to the "Old Man Hero" stories inspired by the likes of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Old Man Logan, Tommy and Anara rescue J.J., Tommy accepts that his Ranger days are over and he settles into a normal life with Kat, going on a much needed vacation, even sailing off into the sunset, leaving the Ranger duties in the capable hands of J.J., Anara, and S.P.D.
