Respect. It takes a lot to be willing to recognize and honor the passing of somebody you didn't get along with. To recognize that while the two of you didn't see eye to eye, JDF meant a lot to the fans and to the Power Ranger franchise. I wish JDF didn't end his life.

That's because Austin is a humble man, I have nothing against JDF (I was also hurt by his passing because, like Austin, I appreciated it) but unfortunately when he had the opportunity to speak badly of Austin he did it and worse, he did it seriously. But Austin never said anything against him and showed maturity like in the 2017 premiere and now with this video.

​@@YTWarrior100 Austin did actually criticise JDF if you watch his interview on power rangers playback. And JDF tried to shut down rumours once that there was something bad between them in another interview I saw. So they weren't always consistent with how they approached that.

"Once a Ranger, always a Ranger" I'm not going to hear that phrase the same way anymore. 😢

I'll never stop being amazed that these two played the closest of friends on the show but didn't get along in real life. Amazing acting

I’m more disappointed that they couldn’t put it aside enough for just one reunion before someone dies. I think that’s part of Austin’s regret here too. PR kept awkwardly coming back without their two main leads, one was always missing. Imagine if every SF game since SF2 had either Ken or Ryu missing for some bizarre reason.

This was a good message from Austin St. John. It shows that even though him and JDF never got along in real life, he’s always respected him. Once arranger always arranger such powerful words. Jason, David Frank is still missed to this day. Godspeed green ranger.

Sadly no, JDF literally was vocal of his dislike of ASJ. It was childish and even one time they appeared together with the actor that played Zack. JDF had even on camera confessed right there of himself being dumb and childish about the grudge and publicly "apologized" to ASJ. I was finally happy to see this, we would finally see them be what we wanted to see in real life as in the show. To see them really act as brothers, but it was all a front, JDF kept on bad mouthing ASJ online, really badly, with the latter staying quiet, but eventually ASJ started to respond back when ASJ started to have legal issues that are still to be resolved in court. JDF had increased his smearing of ASJ even harder and drawing more people in, like Steve Cardenas (the second Red Ranger, after Jason) I know that many people loved JDF, but the dude was a trouble maker even in the show, but also outside. He'd start beef with people for no reason, he even threatened Jean Claude Vandamme and it was caught in video as his wife was trying to defuse the issue. He always was acting like he had something to prove and though he'd try and send positive messages, most sounded narcissistic in nature. It's sad, because in his last videos, when he announced he was retiring and distancing himself from all things Power Rangers, he looked really beaten and destroyed. He was charismatic, but people gave him a full on pass to his negativity because he was their childhood hero. Like I said, it's really sad.

Can’t believe it been a year!

You Guys are a Team.🙏🙏🙏

Rest in peace Jason David Frank

It really takes a lot to admit the things Austin said. Yes he admitted he and JDF didn't see eye to eye, but now that JDF is gone, he feels he missed out on what could have been a close friendship.

No disrespect to the dead but JDF brought it up to himself. He chose to be bitter about some stupid beef that happened when they were freaking teenagers.

I always wished that they would patch up their differences at the movie premiere and reunite on screen to give the fans what they wanted, Jason & Austin/Red & Green/White, Jason & Tommy back together again

It breaks my heart becouse power rangers are big part of my childhood.and let's take mental health very seriously.

Its still so hard to believe JDF is gone but he will NEVER be forgotten. It would have been awesome if they were able to really set aside their differences and collaborate on PR again or even something outside of it. Everyone should watch/re-watch the episode Gung Ho for the best Jason & Tommy experience

It’s good to honored your friends and family. Good for you. He would be proud for you.

Just because you don’t like someone doesn’t mean you can’t respect them and their work

Austin St John is a true legend some scenes in MMPR you can tell they did have trouble working together but he and JDF put all that aside to continue with the show when i heard they doing ( Once and Always) i thought we would see Austin back and not only that wear the dragon sheild and use the dagger and dragonzord one last time like he did when AKA ( gave him the power coin) that been better then what we ended up with Austin i hope we see you to playing red ranger one last time and for longer scenes this time you will always be the OG red ranger mate i am sorry you left the show so earlier in it thanks bro from Australia

😮😢 No way!! 💔😭 I loved him very much and I admired too! He was my hero and one of my most beautiful memories from my kid / junior age and one of the most old and all time classic memories from legend 90's too! With other words he was... my legend!!! I feel so depressing, horrible and awful about /because of this!!! I really don't know what to say... it's so creepy, at least!!! I wish his memory to live forever!!! He was on earth a hero and now became an angel in sky! Oh my... God, it's a believable!!!⚡☘️ A fan of JDF from far Greece! 🇬🇷👋🏻

It’s sad that they never got to make things right. I hope ASJ is able to forgive JDF and himself cuz I know JDF forgives him. Once a Ranger always a Ranger. God bless everyone.

I'm sure he love you and respect you. There's nothing to forgive.

I think what upsets me the most and possibly him too is the fact that now they’ll never get the chance to reconcile.

Sad that JDF and ASJ never got along, if they had they probably would've been a real life Jason and Tommy friendship. Still, it takes a big man to admit that while you didn't like someone, you still respected them.

Once a Ranger…Always a Ranger. I met Jason David Frank 3 times at Lexington comic con. Met Austin St. John twice at Lexington comic con. My 2 favorite power rangers “Tommy and Jason”.

Jason David Frank has been gone for almost year already and I know it's going to be difficult without him because he was a power ranger and he will be missed by anyone who knows how much he meant to them in person
