5* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: In ''[[Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger Ohranger]]'', Adrian's counterpart was revealed to have been killed and then dissected by Bacchus to keep Pollenator's counterpart in line ([[EpicFail It backfired, let's just say]]). This scene wasn't used in Power Rangers due to being too dark and disturbing for American children which lead to...
6* TheAhnold: Adrian has the voice.
7* ALighterShadeOfBlack: While very much vicious monsters, Pollenator and Adrian are shown to care for each other.
8* BadBoss: Mondo separates Pollenator and Adrian when the latter makes a simple mistake and orders the former to go fight alone for no other reason.
9* BrooklynRage: Pollenator
10* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Due to the above scene's removal, Pollenator is instead destroyed by oxygen-powered Zeo Laser Pistols. In Ohranger, Bara Cactus #1 survived the blasts and returned to the Machine Palace to see his brother (Bara Cactus #2), only to find out that Bacchus killed him. He then tries to attack Bacchus only to be [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath beheaded]] as an example to others on what happens to those who attempt to rebel.
11* DisproportionateRetribution: Adrian made a minor flaw during his fight with the Rangers, which results in Mondo pulling them back to the palace and forcing Pollenator to fight alone. If Mondo had just ordered both to cooperate with each other instead of threatening one to get the other to obey him, things might have turned out differently.
12* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Pollenator refuses to go fight without his cousin Adrian, but Mondo threatens the latter to get the former to obey his order.
13* ForgotAboutHisPowers: It doesn't seem to occur to Klank and Orbus to grow Pollenator after his defeat. This was due to the ''Ohranger'' equivalent happening before their counterparts got their upgrade to grow monsters.
14* HurricaneOfPuns: Rocky, when he's turning into a plant.
15* LeftHanging: Adrian is last seen being surrounded by Cogs and is never mentioned again. [[TheyWouldCutYouUp Given his counterpart's fate,]] it's probably better that way.
16* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Averted; as this episode's Sentai equivalent happened before Klank and Orbus' counterparts gained the ability to grow monsters.
17* VitriolicBestBuds: In spite of their argument, Pollenator cares enough about Adrian to see that his safety is assured when Mondo threatens his life.
18* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Adrian, the other plant monster, is never heard from again after Pollenator is killed. See AdaptationExplanationExtrication for more.
