History Trivia / KyoryuSentaiZyuranger

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Or rather, what could ''not'' have been. Saban originally considered adapting ''Jetman'' for the first season of ''Mighty Morphin'' instead of this series; while it's likely that ''Zyuranger'' would've still made it stateside if ''Rangers'' had been a success, it's likely that only the mecha and SixthRanger costume would've appeared, given what happened when ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'' was adapted into season 2 of ''Mighty Morphin''.

** Burai is also played by the same actor who was [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Change Pegasus]].

* ActorAllusion: Boi learns ninjutsu in an episode titled "Ninja Warrior Boi". This is a reference to Hashimoto's previous role as Manabu Yamaji in ''Series/SekaiNinjaSenJiraiya''.
