Go To

1* {{Anvilicious}}: The discussion of racism in episode 11. The discussion is lampshaded.
2* FridgeHorror: Ragnar [[spoiler: activates a force field that cuts Madison off from the rest of the world in chapter 20. At first, he says it's so that no one can get in or out. He's only preparing for an attack, right? It's not just that. He also has a bomb. The force field prevents anyone from getting ''out'' as well. He's ensuring maximum casualties should things go wrong]].
3* SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}: "Do you wonder if ghosts can have sex?"
4* GrowingTheBeard: Both parts, but Part 2 might be the better example. It started off well, but started to slip around episode 20. However, the appearance of Gargotron, [[spoiler: the Silver Ranger, and Tom Maelstrom]], are signs the story is starting to pick up steam. [[spoiler: Episodes 31-33 are where it turns into a steamroller.]] As for ''Supercharged'', it starts to pick up around chapter seven and by chapter 11, the beard is fully grown.
5** Supercharged Part 2 might also be getting this treatment. Starting with TheReveal that [[spoiler: Jimmy is a Project Ranger trainee]] and a better, more flow-y prose style, Part 2 is getting better.
6* HarsherInHindsight: Just days after a chapter including racist taunting by members of a fraternity--was posted, a RealLife fraternity was [[http://www.npr.org/2015/03/09/391915162/oklahoma-university-fraternity-closed-after-racist-chant-video-posted disbanded]] after video of members making racist chants was posted.
7* HilariousInHindsight: The title of the story ("Grand Prix", what [=GPX=] is short for here, is how the episodes of ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'', adapted into ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'', are labeled as), and the fact that [[Series/PowerRangersSamurai the Blue Ranger is named Kevin]].
8* {{Moe}}: Hitomi. She ''is'' the cute one, after all.
9* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: ''ALL'' of Episode 15.
10* MoralEventHorizon: Several possibilities:
11** Phaedos kidnaps a little kid and then threatens to ''burn all of Japan and kill the kid'' just to smoke out two Rangers in Part 1.
12** The alchemist Ronald threatens to torture the Rangers and kill everyone on the SIU campus. [[spoiler: He doesn't follow through on it, but he came very close.]]
13** Ragnar [[spoiler: killing a Project Ranger trainee live on air]].
14** [[spoiler: He solidifies this when he kills Maria's best friend in episode 35.]]
15* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: The [[Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind God Warrior]]/[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Eva]]-like GiantMecha sent to destroy Milwaukee in "The Battle of Milwaukee, Part 3", which annihilates probably half the city, and Ragnar's subsequent apocalyptic descriptions.]]
16%%* ReplacementScrappy: Mandla is treated as one by Sean, since Mandla is unproven in battle.
17* SalvagedStory: After seemingly throwing away the subplot of the Elves taking advantage of the Rangers' guilt, Ragnar sends a living monster. There's little doubt this is in response to one reviewer asking why the subplot had to be dropped.
18** It could also be argued that the plot-heavy ''Supercharged'' was this after the more episodic and weaker Part 2.
19%%* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids
20* TheWoobie: Queen Eruvanda II. Boy, howdy. She's a lonely, depressed wreck, possibly suffering from separation anxiety, which is mostly unheard of for a ''Power Rangers'' villainess. In fact, she easily slides into AntiVillain territory. [[spoiler: Until she defects and goes through a HeelFaceTurn, that is, but the woobieness still stands.]]
