History Trivia / KyoryuSentaiZyuranger

** Hideki Fujiwara (Dan) previously played the birdman, also named Dan, from ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman''.

* TheWikiRule: Covered as part of [[http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/ RangerWiki]], and as an individual series on the [[http://zyuranger.wikia.com/wiki/ Zyuranger Wiki]].

* TropeNamer: SixthRanger, while now a recurring element in ''Sentai,'' had its in-series Codifier in Burai, so Burai, along with his counterpart Tommy Oliver, are acknowledged as the co-Trope Namers.

** The introduction of a recurring SixthRanger was an experimental gambit which at one point was planned to be a one-off before Burai's popularity paved the way for the concept to continue in ''Dairanger'' and beyond.

* NoExportForYou: {{Averted|Trope}}. Normally, Sentai doesn't get a release outside of Asia in its original form, with the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' adaptations released instead. But Saban actually agreed to sub-license ''Zyu'' out to Shout Factory, who has released it on DVD and also streams the show at times on their website. (Outside of the US and Canada, it's still ultimately played straight.)

** Or rather, what could ''not'' have been. Saban originally considered adapting ''Jetman'' for the first season of ''Mighty Morphin'' instead of this series; while it's likely that ''Zyuranger'' would've still made it stateside if ''Rangers'' had been a success, it's likely that only the mecha and SixthRanger costume would've appeared, given what happened when ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'' was adapted into season 2 of ''Mighty Morphin''. And of course, there's the eternal question of whether a ''Jetman''-centric ''MMPR'' (if it was even called that!) would've caught on in the same way as the show did historically.
** When it was in development under the WorkingTitle ''Kyōryū Sentai Saurusman'', the team was originally going to be comprised of were originally going to be comprised of 3 boys and 2 girls (Red Tyranno (male), Black Brachio (male), Green Tricera (male), Yellow Stego (female) and Blue Ptera (female)) and their secondary mech was originally going to be a Mammoth. A team with Yellow and Blue being the two females wouldn't happen until [[Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger 20 years later]], though said series is unofficial, but still.

** Not so much for this series but for all the ones that would follow. The introduction of a recurring SixthRanger was an experimental gambit which at one point was planned to be a one-off before Burai's popularity paved the way for the concept to continue in ''Dairanger'' and beyond.

* NamesTheSame: Isn't it weird how Hideki Fujiwara not only plays both the Blue Ranger for this series and a blue birdman in the [[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman previous series]], but also how both of his characters are named Dan?

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The reason Zyutei Daizyuzin barely appears in show on it's own, the shoulder appliance made was so heavy it actually risked injuring the suit actor.
