* ArbitrarySkepticism: Despite encountering monsters as often as the Power Rangers, Bulk and Skull don't believe in the legend of the Face Stealer...until they encounter it themselves.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Despite encountering monsters as often as the Power Rangers, Bulk and Skull don't believe in the legend of the Face Stealer...until they encounter it themselves. Even Zedd thought it was "a foolish fairy tale" and mocked Rita for believing it.
* BerserkButton: Face Stealer is enraged over the Rangers using the mystical masks.
* TheBlank: Those that get blasted by Face Stealer are left with blank white spaces where their faces used to be. We see this happen to Bulk and Skull, with Adam and Aisha suffering it no long afterwards.


Added DiffLines:

* EurekaMoment: Billy when realizing they can use the mystical masks to protect themselves against Face Stealer.


Added DiffLines:

* HypocriteHasAPoint: The dimwitted Rito chastises Squatt and Baboo's intelligence, but they do nearly break the urn they were sent to steal and later openly talk and move during the NobodyHereButUsStatues example. Even Rito knew better than that.


Added DiffLines:

* IWarnedYou: With Face Stealer out of the urn, Rita rubs it in Zedd's face that she was right about the monster being real. When Face Stealer is defeated, though, Zedd yells at her right back.


Added DiffLines:

* SmartBall: Rito during the urn theft, no doubt a result of being teamed up with Squatt and Baboo.


Added DiffLines:

* WhoDares: Face Stealer upon being released for the urn and awakened.
* YouDoNotWantToKnow: Rita congratulates Rito for stealing the urn, making it clear she didn't expect him to succeed.
-->'''Rito:''' You expected anything less?\\
'''Rita:''' You don't really want me to answer that, do you?\\
'''Rito:''' Uh... no.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Zedd just had throw Face Stealer's urn back to Earth at the worst possible time. Downplayed, at least from his point of view, as he probably figured the monster would lose by that time anyway.

* HypocriticalHumor: While stealing the Face Stealer urn, Rito continuously bagged on Squatt and Baboo for being stupid, when he's not exactly brainy himself.


Added DiffLines:

* NobodyHereButUsStatues: Rito, Baboo, and Squatt hide from a bunch of children by pretending to be part of an exhibit, while holding signs saying "Do Not Touch", "Rare Specimen", and "Out Of Order" respectfully.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Bulk and Skull trying to return the Kahamalan artifacts looked like something completely different to the security guards.

* CassandraTruth: Bulk tries to explain that they were returning the stolen artifacts to the museum when the guards catch them, but in typical fashion, no one believes Bulk and Skull and they're hauled off for questioning.



* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Bulk and Skull are given the Kahmalan artifacts by the rangers to return to the museum, only for some uninformed security guards to take them in for being seen with stolen property.

* AmbiguousSituation: The Kahmalan warriors who sealed Face Stealer all those years ago may or may not have been a former team of Power Rangers. While Zordon expresses unfamiliarity with what legend when the team explains about it, all that means is that he had no involvement with the incident, leaving it open-ended.
