3!!Tropes
4* BreatherEpisode: ''Lightspeed Rescue'' is one of the grimmer seasons of Power Rangers--e.g., [[Recap/PowerRangersLightspeedRescueGoVolcanic "Go Volcanic"]]'s tense plot of a gunman commandeering a bus. But between Birdbane's kooky mannerisms, the Rangers' unconvincing disguises, and the Batlings ransacking a grocery store, it's clear ''this'' episode isn't all that serious.
5* JustLikeRobinHood: Artie's a skateboarding petty thief who relishes being chased, but he gives a lot of what he steals to the homeless and has no intention of actually letting the demons have the dangerous monster egg he's holding for ransom.
6* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Birdbane's voice is based on the late comedian Creator/EdWynn.
7* RansomDrop: Artie gets the demons to put $20,000 in a recycling bin while he drops them the monster egg with a remote-controlled helicopter. The "egg" he drops is just a bouncy ball, and the recycling bin is tied to the jet-ski Artie is driving, allowing him to speed off with the money. 
8* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Kelsey gives one to Artie when he insists he earned $20,000 he stole and scolds for his selfishness when there are people in danger.
9--->'''Kelsey''': What?! You didn't earn it, you stole it. You're nothing but a common thief. You should be ashamed! People are in trouble and all you can do is think of yourself.
