** In #36, Crunchula uses rap to spread hate and turn the Kiramagers and the Mashins against each other, Similarly to the Hate Master from [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Season 3 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]

* JustForPun: After finishing off their opponents, the Kiramai weapons announce [[GratuitousEnglish "Check Mage"]], which sounds like "Checkmate", a term used for winning a chess game. This also doubles as a reference to [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger the last magic-themed Sentai before]] ''Kiramager'', who announced "checkmate" when a monster was defeated, and also featured a chess theme in their mecha cockpit.

** 8 years since [[spoiler: [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters the last human-looking female villain]]. (7 years if [[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger Candelilla]]'s HumanDisguise is counted.)]]

* DroppingTheBombshell: In episode 9, Galza revealed (to the viewers essentially, as the Kiramagers didn't hear it), that [[spoiler: there are FOUR guardians of Crystalia, and King Express is just ONE of them.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Yodonna is the only member of Yodonheim without a mask. [[spoiler: That's because she is one]]. Her first transformation into [[spoiler: the emperor]] is something that also shows it off and hints at the coming of [[spoiler: Shadon, his other alter-ego]], but only in hindsight. Look closely and the transformation is [[spoiler: Yodonna's face becoming a mask, then Yodon appearing in her place - complete with ''another'' mask hanging on the side of his head. This is just before the mask that Yodonna became flips open to hang on the ''other'' side to reveal Yodon's face.]] On first glance, it's a weird transformation fitting a non-standard season that goes by too fast for the details to seem to mean anything. Once you know [[spoiler: what Yodonna really is and that Shadon exists]], it's clear that [[spoiler: Yodonna is the left mask and Shadon is the right]].

After the curse is broken courtesy of Zabyun, Takamichi decides to use the stones to restore Crystalia.]]

** Episode 42 just might take the cake for the whole series. [[spoiler: With Carantula's assistance, Garza, after willingly becoming one of Emperor Yodon's new personalities, kills off Emperor Yodon in his own mindscape, usurping his power and position to become the new main villain of the series.]]

---> '''Tametomo''': [[spoiler: The dreamer...is you, Galza.]]

* WhamLine: At the end of episode 17, Takamichi reveals his reasons for acting so distant from Mabushina and obsessively finding treasure:

** [[spoiler:Minjo, Numajo's sister]] made all of ''one'' appearance in Episode 21 and hasn't been seen in the series ever since. [[spoiler:She appears in the movie as the main villain.]]
