* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: When you suffer through the ''Operation Overdrive'' opening, the theme song for ''Jungle Fury'' feels like a breath of fresh air. It helps that this is the first ''Power Rangers'' theme in a ''very'' long time to actually have ''harmony.''
** There's also the jungle-themed background music, which is heavy on the African drums. Some East Asian music is also mixed in, to match the show's kung-fu motif.

* JerkassWoobie: Camille has UndyingLoyalty to Dai Shi, and is greatly attracted to his host's body. However, he doesn't return her affections and continuously treats her as nothing more than a pawn. While Jarrod grows to care for her, Dai Shi sees her as nothing more than a servant, breaking her heart despite how much she's willing to do for him.

** Jarrod himself counts as well. While he is shown to be a ArrogantKungFuGuy at the start of the season it's revealed that part of the reason is that he was bullied as a kid and, as a result, became a much harder person. After being rejected for the final stage of training, and replaced with [[RookieRedRanger Casey]] due to his attitude, he gets possessed by Dai Shi and spends the rest of the season fighting an internal battle with Dai Shi. [[spoiler:After the two are finally separated Jarrod has a HeroicBSOD over his quilt for the wrongs he committed while evil and believes that he can never find redemption for the crimes he's committed.]]

The Gekirangers also crack their knuckles before morphing, and rumor has it that the Solar Morphers were brought in over fears kids could imitate the knuckle-cracking and injure themselves.

** Camille is played by Holly Shanahan, previously Leelee in ''Mystic Force''. [[spoiler:Making this her second role as a villainess who does a HeelFaceTurn.]]
*** Disguised with DyeingForYourArt - Leelee is blonde, Camille has dark hair.
** And Michelle Langstone, Kat Manx from ''SPD'', returns as Master Guin. Who incidentally ''was also called Michelle'' in ''Gekiranger'', leading to fans deeming her Michelle Guin. Or Michelle Pengstone.
** Another subversion: Sarah Thomson (Fran) played Diane, the human form of the ''other'' MonsterOfTheWeek in the ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' episode "A-Bridged." Fran lacks Diane's EightiesHair.

* HilariousInHindsight: the second wave of basic figures has their electronics taken out and placed inside "sound chips", which resemble USB flash drives. Guess what ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'' and its toyline would be based around.
** As pointed out by BrokenBase, some fans didn't think sunglasses worked as morphers. [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters Toei did]], and for extra {{Irony}}, it happened in a season that some view as a direct {{Homage}} to ''Power Rangers''.

** RJ good deal of praise for his unique approach toward mentoring and more laid-back persona. The fact that [[MrFanservice he was a rather pretty man]] didn't hurt.
** Casey as well due to being a Deconstruction of RookieRedRanger, to the point where he's the only Disney Actor who was brought back for ''Super Megaforce''. His actor being OneOfUs helps, too.
