* MathematiciansAnswer: Of a sort. When Andros, in-disguise, asks for information about KO-35, Darkonda says that it has "trees, lakes, blue skies, mountains", before segueing into his story about his role in Karone's abduction.

* AccidentalHero: Ecliptor's sabotage of the SuperSerum kicks in just as Darkonda is poised to finish off Andros.
* BondOneLiner: Subverted after Darkonda is presumably destroyed by the energy cyclone.
-->'''Andros:''' Hey, Darkonda, see ya!\\
'''Darkonda:''' ''[standing back up]'' Sooner than you might think, Red Ranger!



* DidntSeeThatComing: Darkonda is stunned that it was Ecliptor who sabotaged his SuperSerum.



* ElectiveUnintelligible: In his mutated form, Darkonda is largely growling like a savage, but he demonstrates he can manage to still speak when mocking Andros for thinking he was destroyed.
* EurekaMoment: Upon spotting the morpher, Darkonda immediately realizes who exactly is asking about Karone.
* EvilGloating: Ecliptor is only too happy to let Darkonda know who caused him all this misery.



* IWasNeverHere: After giving the supplier the poisoned serum, Ecliptor angrily reminds him to not tell Darkonda that he was ever there or else.
* LoopholeAbuse: In the previous episode, Astronema had explicitly forbidden Ecliptor from attacking Darkonda. He was forced to look for another way and thus took advantage of Darkonda wanting a SuperSerum.
* NoSell: Darkonda effortlessly deflects the Astro Delta Megazord's Flying Power Punch right back at the Rangers.



* SanitySlippage: The poison takes a toll on Darkonda's mind, in addition to mutating his body. He's left growling incoherently and gesticulating wildly. He appears to only possess enough state of mind to attack the Rangers.



* SuperSerum: Darkonda was on Onyx to get this, but Ecliptor got to the supplier first. While the potion gives Darkonda a power boost at first, it soon wreaks havoc on his body and causes him to mutated, out of control form.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Carlos when reporting that the reserve power is about to give out.
* TheUnintelligible: Mutantrus is an incoherent monster, growling in a rather consistent way.
* VillainsOutShopping: Elgar was simply playing video games when Astronema entered to see what Darkonda was doing.
* WhamShot: After Darkonda angrily makes his demand, we see the SuperSerum supplier talking privately with Ecliptor.

** Various monsters in and out of the tavern include [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP8ThePowerStealer Octophantom]], [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP9TheBeetleInvasion Stag Beetle]], [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP10WizardforaDay Marvo the Meanie]], [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP28AChimpinCharge Sinister Simian]], [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP32TheSoundofDischordia Dischordia]] (in her original form), [[Recap/PowerRangersZeoS1E19Challenges Punch-A-Bunch]], [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP48StorybookRangersPart1 Snow Monster]].

** The Astro Delta Megazord performs an energy attack on Darkonda to try to destroy him. After the explosion, Darkonda gets back up.
* ProperlyParanoid: The key cards were first acquired on Eltar. Andros immediately suspects they have something to do with Zordon.
* TheReveal: Darkonda abducted Karone.
* SadisticChoice: "Red Ranger, if you wanna know where your sister is, bring me the key cards!"
* ShoutOut: During TheTeaser, T.J. and Cassie head out to search a planet in [[Franchise/StarWars the Dagobah system]].
