2	* Why is Umeko always claiming to be the leader, even when it's clear no one acknowledge her as such? Simple, she was being recruited as Gyoku Rou—the former Deka Red—was being wounded and forced to leave SPD. As a result, Doggy must have warned her about the other members being distraught over losing their former leader, and Umeko must have (mis)understood this as meaning that she was going to be their new leader.
3	* In the first episode, Umeko sings the same song Remi Hoshikawa sang to her kindergarden class in ''Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman''. Mika Kikuchi, Umeko's actress, was 20-21 during Dekaranger and 6-7 during Fiveman. If Umeko is close to the same age as Mika, then Umeko could've plausibly have been a student of Remi, in essence Deka Pink was taught by Five Yellow.
4	* Hoji was able to kill Teresa (his lover)'s brother for taking other girls' lives to transfer to his sick sister, and Vino (his old friend) for willingly becoming a mass murderer for money. However, he '''couldn't''' bring himself to kill Ban when the latter's body was hijacked by an Alienizer who planned to destroy the world by using Ban's body, even when he literally begged Hoji to do so. At first, I only thought of this as Hoji caring about Ban so much he couldn't do so, but then I realized it's not only that. Hoji could only kill a loved one if they ''actively'' and ''willingly'' committed bad things. The two times he killed humans were all because they knew what they were doing was bad, but still did so regardless of the consequences. However, Ban's body was taken ''completely against his will''. The Alienizer used his body to guilt-trip the others despite Ban clearly trying to resist it, even asking them to kill him. That was exactly why Hoji couldn't kill Ban - because he couldn't bring himself to kill someone who was being used against his wish. (But it's also because he likes Ban.)
5	* Many of the Alienizers are fairly simple in design for Super Sentai monsters, some of them little more than a mask and unitard. Why? Because in this series, there's not only a monster-of-the-week, but often a mecha-of-the-week, stretching the costume budge thin.

8	* So, in ranger mode, where DOES Doggie fit that snout of his?
9	** Ban actually asks him this question in the fact video that plays before the credits in episode 14. His response? "Don't ask that." Then he scratches his head in confusion. Apparently, even he doesn't know how that's possible.
10	*** [[https://i.redd.it/g9f7ygu6atl11.jpg A humorous take on it.]]
11	** In the ''Dekaranger vs. Abaranger'' special, Umeko gets a blade slashed across her torso and sparks fly (as usual). The problem is, ''she suffers neither physical nor ClothingDamage, and she's unmorphed at the time''.
12	** The blast from the [[{{BFG}} Deka Wing Robo]] ''looks'' like it could level a few blocks. Who would ''authorize'' the use of such a weapon? Kruger? Maybe his authority ''is'' that high (he's head of Earth Branch, right?), but then again, being a noble warrior, would he choose to employ such a dangerous weapon ''within the city limits'' unless the battle was truly apocalyptic? (Granted, Kruger does pull the trigger via his Megazord, so it ''is'' on him in the end, but...)
13	*** Addendum: Why ''doesn't'' the resulting blast level five square blocks?
14	*** For Dekawing Robo, it's because it always takes its enemies into the upper atmosphere before they transform it, and for Dekabase Robo...I guess he's extremely careful with it.
