- Call-Back:
- To cheer up the despairing civilians, Rita uses the funny face they made in #21.
- Luckyuro turns out to be still reading Love Touch.
- To power up everyone, Hymeno plays the Kyoryuger theme that is known as "Earth's Melody", which was used to help Daigo in the original finale of Kyoryuger.

- Commonality Connection:
- Kaguragi and Nobuharu bond over their being big brothers who care for their respective sisters.
- Rita and Luckyuro bond over some manga, and the former even hugs the latter after comparing them to Moffun.
- Dance Party Ending: The credits play to a new song called "Pride and Brave", with the dance mixing the dance of both "Minna Atsumare! Kyoryuger" and "Zenryoku King".
- Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: Hymeno plays "Vamola Kyoryuger" on a keyboard while the members of the resistance sing along, which spurs the Theme Music Power-Up in the episode.
- Double Entendre: When Ian and Nossan learn that Prince is Daigo and Amy's son, the two look at her and say "Wow!" while making an exploding gesture with their hands.
- Dressing Down: The team sans Jeramie are given more casual outfits by Yuko and Rika in order to better blend in with the resistance.
- Fake Shemp: Downplayed. While Amy does appear for a few scenes in the episode, she's clearly played by a stand-in during the farewell scene as she isn't focused on in the group shot, and her reaction to Nossan and Ian's teasing was clearly added in post-production.
- Foreshadowing:
- Upon rescuing Amy, Prince nearly calls her "Mother"note before catching himself. The ending reveals that he is Amy's son with Daigo.
- Suzume is present at Shugoddam's castle. She's only been there during times of duress, which the preview for next episode teases...
- Forgot About His Powers: Inverted. Gira concentrates hard enough to mentally communicate with God Kuwagata. This activates Suzume's ring and allows her to send God Caucasus Kabuto to Earth.

- Mistaken Identity: When Suzume activates her ring, she thinks Racules is the one ordering her to do so. Then again, given who this is...
- Mythology Gag: Two of the manga series the children at the shelter are reading are Good Three and The Pirates of Tennis.
- Passing the Torch: When the Zyudenryu are freed, Prince hears Daigo's voice entrusting Gabutyra to him.
- Plot Parallel: Jeramie can't help but notice the similarities between Nossan and Candelilla and his own parents.
- The Reveal:
- Jeramie's father is revealed to have been from Earth and was the one who created the mural on Earth that connects to the one on Tikyū. The Caucasus Kabuto Castle also turns out to be a spaceship. In fact, the reason part of humanity fled Earth to reestablish a new population on Tikyū was due to humanity itself having its own internal conflicts on Earth at the time, implied to be yet another earlier attempt by Dagded to make the race exterminate itself.
- Kyoryuger-wise, Nossan and Candellila are about to get married.
- Theme Song Power Up: "Vamola Kyoryuger" plays as the Earth's Melody while the rest of the Sentai regain their powers, and "Zenryoku King" plays during the final battle. It counts as a literal example for the Kyoryugers as the melody restores their brave, allowing them to transform again.
- Title-Only Opening: No opening this time.
