History Trivia / NinjaSentaiKakuranger

* ActorAllusion: Ittan Momen from #25 is voiced by Creator/NobuyukiHiyama, which explains why [[Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger he's riding a motorcycle and always saying 'baby'!]]
** #46 has a MonsterOfTheWeek that summons manga characters to battle out heroes. The most fearsome of them is played by Yoshinori Okamoto, veteran suit actor usually in the role of TheDragon (eg. [[Series/ChoudenshiBioman Biohunter Silva]]), now in a Dragon-esque role to the monster. (This is itself a CallBack to the first couple of episodes, as he also played the Original Kirigakure Saizou. Then joke then becomes Saizou getting his ass kicked by his still-unimpressed ancestor.)
** In #35, Tsuruhime reunites with her childhood friends Yukiyo and Tsukiyo Yamasaki to become the Punishment Sailor Sisters against the MonsterOfTheWeek. The Yamasaki sisters' actresses, Noriko Tanaka and Kei Ishibashi, had previously starred with Satomi Hirose as the main trio of ''Series/YuugenJikkouSistersShushutorian ''.
