Trivia
- This is the first series to feature rangers using their Zords to battle grunts/foot soldiers. The animal spirits are basically each ranger's personal spirit and are only used for giant monster battles when combined.
- This is the first series to have a Purple Ranger. Morgana doesn't count as she is only a ranger-like character and neither is Koragg, as his designation is Knight.
- This is the first series where the foot soldiers actually become the Monster-of-the-day.
- This is the second series featuring rangers chosen from a school of martial arts discipline-the first being Ninja Storm.
- This is the third series to feature 3 members, with the colors red, yellow and blue. It is the third series to only have five rangers in place by the end of the series, if the source material is followed.
