Mistakes
- Loki referred to the Star Power star in Olympius’s breastplate as a charm around his neck, but it would only be in such a form when Olympius shapeshifted into the teens. (05:58)
- To morph into Kelsey from Chad form in the Aquabase, Olympius touched the star pendant to his skin, although he had not had to do this in the skull castle when shifting through all four teens in sequence. (09:51)
- After the Red Ranger’s punch to Thunderclaw’s chest, the monster was sent flying through air. Upon landing, it was missing it’s right horn. (17:01)
- Later, on the same day as the Diabolico battle, the Rail Rescues were in working order and responded to Red Ranger’s summons. (17:34)
