Mistakes
- This episode oddly lacked “Starring” or “Guest Starring” before running the credits for Adam Tuominen and Jorgito Vargas, Jr. (01:17)
- Lothor said that “a Ranger’s power can only be destroyed when he’s in his full Ranger form.” This is most evidently false in the end of the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” saga. (03:41)
- While fighting the Thunder Megazord with the Serpent Sword, Shane exclaimed “fire!” (18:14)
- The Power Disc used to summon Power Sphere 04 was oddly shaped like Blue Wind’s discs upon arriving in the Storm Power Megazord, despite being shaped like Red Wind’s discs on Cam’s screen. (18:43)
- Upon being stolen by the Thunder Rangers, the Disc switched to being shaped like Crimson Thunder’s discs and also oddly changed color. (18:53)
- Oddly, Power Sphere 04 was introduced third, before Power Sphere 03. (19:04)
- The appearance of the zord cockpits differed between Sentai and American shots, most obviously in the neon lights at the rear of the cockpits. (20:16)
