Notes
- Aside from being the last episode of Gorenger, it is also the last Sentai episode to air on NET before it was renamed as TV Asahi on April 1, 1977.
- This is the last time all five actors played their Gorenger roles together. Despite this, all five actors do return to Super Sentai in some capacity:
- Lisa Komaki/Peggy Matsuyama/Momorenger and Hiroshi Miyauchi/Akira Shinmei/Aorenger returned to their Gorenger roles for J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger.
- Hiroshi only voiced Akira, unlike the physically returning Lisa, but he was playing his other major Super Sentai role of Sokichi Banba/Big One, a role he reprised in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai and Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, both featuring the return of Akira Shinmei (albeit only only in stock footage in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai and a new voice over for 199 Heroes.)
- Lisa was also the dubbed voice and suit actor for Diane Martin/Miss America I in Battle Fever J and guest-starred in a different role in the first episode with Diane's replacement.
- Baku Hatakeyama/Daita Ooiwa/Kirenger was the only other actor to return for the aforementioned J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger, only contributing a voice performance. This would be Baku's last Sentai performance before his death by suicide in July of the same year.
- Although he didn't return for J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger, Naoya Makoto did return as Tsuyoshi Kaijo/Akarenger for the aforementioned Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, as well as appearing in the first and the final episodes of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
- Yukio Itou/Kenji Asuka/Midorenger returned to play Kensaku Shiraishi/Battle Cossack I in Battle Fever J. He is the only one to never reprise his Gorenger role.
- Tsuyoshi Kaijo and Kenji Asuka were portrayed in J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger by stock audio of their actors, along with new lines by a new actor for Tsuyoshi.
- Lisa Komaki/Peggy Matsuyama/Momorenger and Hiroshi Miyauchi/Akira Shinmei/Aorenger returned to their Gorenger roles for J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger.
- The key to this episode involves the constellation of Cassiopeia ("The Seated Queen"), which is made of five stars formed in the shape of a "W" in the sky. The episode also reveals that the five Gorenger themselves are connected via the constellation via their names and thus the final meaning of being the "five stars" for the team via the Japanese reading of the word as "Kashiopea":
- KA: Kaijo Tsuyoshi
- SHI: Shinmei Akira
- O: Oiwa Daita
- PE: Peggy Matsuyama
- A: Asuka Kenji
