** Perhaps [[spoiler: Gosei Sentai Akibaranger served as kind of an anti-Jetman. Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman was so good that many of the series that followed [[ToughActToFollow couldn't live up to it]]. Gosei Sentai Akibaranger, meanwhile, was so insultingly awful that every series that came after it, Ohranger included, looked like a solid gold masterpiece by comparison. It helps that Ohranger reportedly wasn't really that bad of a show in and of itself, and that it simply suffered from some bad luck and very [[TooSoon unfortunate timing]] (and, y'know, not being as good as Jetman). Heck, Gosei Sentai Akibaranger getting CutShort at only 13 episodes meant that Ohranger aired earlier than it did in real history, thus potentially allowing it to avoid the timing issues that hurt it so badly.]]

* Anybody else confused as to why the final enemy in Season 2 is a parody of Ultraman and not Kamen Rider? Kamen Rider would make a bit more sense, since it's the sibling series to Super Sentai and would've allowed parodies of the Super Hero Taisen movies.

** The plot of that episode was partly a reference to the legal dispute over the licensing rights to Ultraman between Tsuburaya and Chaiyo Productions (the latter of which is spoofed in the show as "Chigauyo Productions". That's probably why they based the character on Ultraman.

* It's stated that one of the reasons this show is "not for kids" is because it depicts the Super Sentai series as fiction, and not real superheroes actually out there fighting evil. But, how does that match up with the actual Super Sentai series? ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'' takes place in 2012 of a ''new calendar system'' which we currently don't use. Obviously it's supposed to take place in the future, so...how does that help kids to think there are actual superheroes right now? At least ''MiraiSentaiTimeranger'' mostly took place in the present.

*** It's possible that they had already made the Kibaranger suit, and they let Saban use it for original footage. Heck, maybe Toei was so incredibly embarrassed by Akibaranger that skipping it entirely in favor of shooting new footage with the Zyuranger suits (plus Kibaranger) was ''their'' idea in this timeline.
