Chains: Unlike every other kind of Mooger, giant Moogers could also equip themselves with giant chains to restrain the Megazords. About Face: Almost every time that they were confronted by the Battlewing Megazord, they would turn around and try to flee in fear.

Arachnitor is an interesting example of a Monster of the Week that actually tried his hand at becoming Starscreamy to Master Xandred. Sadly, his attempt to overthrow him and become the new leader of the Nighloks didn't end so well for him, and he ended up being mutated through Cold-Blooded Torture as punishment for his betrayal. During the training sequence in "The Team Unites", a rougher stunt causes Kevin's pants to go down, revealing his blue boxer shorts. Mia's driving licence in "A Strange Case of the Munchies" reveals her last name as Watanabe - any chance she's related to Sensei and Cam? The Kids Are New Zealander: Basically the majority of the kids so far, whether they're portraying younger versions of the Rangers or regular kids, have been unable to hide their accents. Especially noticable when compared to the American accents used by adults in the same scene (Ryan and his dad in "Deal with a Nighlok" and Young!- and current-Jayden and Antonio in "Unexpected Arrival"). Freeze-Frame Bonus: As seen here ◊, one bride is named Erica Fong, another Brittany Pirtle, one couple's last names are Wetter and Beaver, and Aleisha Fraser's getting married twice in one day.

The 18th and 19th season of the Power Rangers franchise, using Ranger, Monster, and Zord footage from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. It was the first season since Power Rangers Wild Force to be entirely directed and produced by Jonathon Tzachor. Mia often disusses Jayden's problems like when she practices with him after he rejects Antonio from the team and in Trust Me.

Hero Secret Service: Though not nearly to the extent of Shinkenger, the Samurai Rangers seem to have a small support network of allies (seen in "The Tengen Gate" and "The BullZord"). He Ain't Heavy Metal, He's My Brother" has Bulk and Spike's music act, or should we say Spikey Spike and the Fresh Bulk. And of course they had to include the line 'drop it like it's hot'.

Sympathy for the Devil: Mia discovers Dayu and Deker were once husband and wife, but a fire in their house mortally wounded Deker. As a result, Dayu made a Deal with the Devil, selling her soul to save Deker's life, unknowingly cursing him to be a half Nighlok who would forget he ever knew her. Mia actually feels sorry for Dayu after this. They come from the Netherworld and serve under Master Xandred. It's possible that Moogers have some form of basic intelligence, as in the Tengen Gate, they agreed with Arachnitor about forcing the Red Ranger to show them the Sealing Symbol. Moogers are typically in golden brown attire and equipped with swords or bows. Master Xandred is capable of creating Moogers of all types when he is enraged. Anger Empowerment: When Master Xandred went berserk in the episode " Jayden's Challenge", his pure anger enhanced the Moogers to insane proportions whilst also turning them completely feral. Cultural Translation: Dayu's Harmonium is a Shamishen as named in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. May have been a case of Did Not Do the Research as a harmonium is a type of keyboard instrument not a guitar or banjo like instrument.

Something Completely Different: While a Clip Show or other How We Got Here moments aren't unique, "Party Monsters" stands out by being told from the villain's perspective. Instead of the Rangers sitting around talking about their various battles, it takes places at a party in the afterlife, where the monsters are talking about how they were defeated. In "The Blue and the Gold," Antberry has to chop up thirty toys to create a portal to the Sanzu River from a well. In Shinkenger, however, this plan involved chopping up a group of young girls, something that probably would have been considered too sinister for a children's show on American TV. Downer Ending: Episode 17 "The Tengen Gate" ends with Jayden poisoned and kidnapped by Deker, Mia, Emily, Mike and Kevin defeated by Aracnator and Master Xandred unleashing a bunch of giant moogers and spitfangs.Mini Dress Of Power: Part of the Samurai Ranger girls' suits. Of course, this includes the female Red Ranger. Not only does the whip-wielding Nighlok that can mind-control Ranger and Zord alike in "I've Got a Spell on Blue" parallel the Lion Tamer Org, but this episode also features the full-fledged debut of Ricardo Medina Jr., previously the Red Wild Force Ranger, as Deker. Antonio, Large Ham and Gadgeteer Genius, and just to hammer it home, Antonio can also mean "Tony". Interestingly, Mia actually says "this isn't my first rodeo" in "Clash of the Red Rangers", in different context from Agent Coulson of course. Moogers are Nighlok who live to serve as noted by Deker with Master Xandred absorbing his new surge of power, the Moogers started running wild with no one in charge.
