Actually, S 2 E 2 shows that Human Roxy left GB and got a new job working for her aunt.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Some fans feel that Human Blaze and Human Roxy don't get nearly enough screen time or character development, considering they spent a whole season in a coma and awaken to find that they've been replaced with untrained rookies as rangers. The following season their reaction to Evox using their Avatar personalities in regenerating robots amounts to "that's freaky", and then it's never touched on except for [[spoiler: a single episode near the season's end where Robo-Blaze impersonates the real one]]. At the very least, while they aren't active Rangers, they are still Grid Battleforce members thus Blaze and Roxy can assist with training or their own missions to stop the bad guys.

** Comic relief characters in this franchise (sans Bulk and Skull who set a very high bar) can either be a hit or a miss. This season, we have Ben and Betty, who are considered a massive improvement over [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel the previous season's]] duo Victor and Monty. Though the Burkes were clearly meant to satisfy Saban’s obligatory slapstick needs, their characters are also serving alongside the Rangers, which allows them to be weaved into a plot without causing unnecessary distractions. Also, whereas Victor and Monty were always depicted as being entirely self-serving (with the exception of Super Ninja Steel's finale), Ben and Betty are generally portrayed as goofy but well-meaning characters who at least ''try'' to help the Rangers. It should also be noted that none of Ben and Betty's antics involve fart jokes.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Roxy's whip wires in the first episode are rather clear and conspicuous CGI, especially coming right after a highly-praised fight using almost entirely practical effects. However, given the unpredictable and potentially ''dangerous'' nature of actual whips, prop or otherwise, this is an understandable sacrifice.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: In the very first scene, Blaze attacking Devon in karate class is meant to establish Blaze as a {{Jerkass}}, and Ravi and Roxy both admit later they should have stepped in. But the thing is that Devon really ''was'' slacking off in class, and when called on it he made excuses and ended up insulting Blaze in the process. As the teacher, Blaze was well within his rights to discipline him. There's no question that Blaze was completely out of line by starting a brawl, but the show glosses over Devon's part in provoking the fight and treats Blaze as the only one at fault.

** Some fans are unhappy that the Gold Ranger's animal theme has been changed from a rhino beetle to a praying mantis. Others, however, don't mind the change or defend the change as necessary in order to avoid both the Gold and Silver Rangers having beetle themes. For extra irony, however, scientifically speaking, all rhinoceros beetles that Gold's motif clearly is, and actually was in ''Go-Busters'', is the ''actual'' scarab. Gold's motif could have been simply called a "scarab" to avoid the long name of "rhinoceros beetle". "Stag beetle" is a short enough name to keep as is.
** Downplayed with changing the Silver Ranger's motif from a stag beetle to a scarab. There's been a bit of grumbling, but for the most part, people seem OK with this, since it's at least still a beetle type. The above-mentioned {{irony}} in regards to scientific naming still applies though.
