6
7The 22nd and 23rd seasons of the long-running ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' franchise, [[{{Frankenslation}} adapting footage from]] ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger''. This is the third season with a dinosaur motif, following ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''.
8
965 million years ago, the alien Keeper arrived on Earth while being pursued by ruthless bounty hunter Sledge and his evil forces, who hoped to steal the ten powerful Energems from him. Keeper was able to give the each Energems to a dinosaur or other Mesozoic creature for safe keeping, but they were soon lost when asteroids hit the Earth and wiped out 65% of life worldwide, including the dinosaurs. Now in the present day, five young adults are discovering the lost Energems --and at the same time, Sledge and his forces have returned to continue their hunt. Fortunately, local museum curator Kendall Morgan has partnered with Keeper in order to harness the Energems' power for the earth protection, turning those chosen by the Energems into the Power Rangers Dino Charge.

11This is the second subseries, after ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'', to be established by later crossovers as having taken place in a parallel dimension to the main ''Power Rangers'' universe (and not the same dimension as ''RPM''), with characters from all three dimensions teaming up.

13Distantly related to ''Series/PowerRangersDinoForceBrave'', another foreign spin-off of ''Kyoryuger''. Succeeded by ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel''.

15----
16[[folder:Common ''Power Rangers'' tropes]]
17* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Dinosaur (and other Mesozoic creature)-themed, in this case.
18* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: In general all of the models used on the extinct organisms appear to be carbon copies of Jurassic Park's and thus have all the same highly outdated inaccuracies. Animals that aren't dinosaurs are referred to as dinosaurs. Finally dinosaurs and other extinct organisms that didn't live together are shown coexisting.
19** Of the dinosaurs shown only''Tyrannosaurus rex'', ''Triceratops'', ''Pachycephalosaurus'', and ''Ankylosaurus'' did all coexist at 65 million B. C. E. in western North America,
20*** ''Stegosaurus'' lived at least 80 million years earlier in the Jurassic. ''Pteranodon'' went extinct around 83 million years ago. ''Parasaurolophus'' went extinct around 70 million years ago. ''Plesiosaurus'' lived at least 100 million years before the end of the Mesozoic.
21*** ''Velociraptor'', is from central Asia [[note]]and the dinosaur shown to receive the Green Energem is more the size of ''Velociraptor'''s much larger relative ''Utahraptor'', which lived in western North America, but about 60 million years before the end of the Mesozoic[[/note]]. ''Jainosaurus'' (formerly known as ''Titanosaurus'') lived in India [[note]]and by the late Cretaceous, the continents were approaching their present-day forms[[/note]].
22** As a result of the models being carbon copies of Jurassic Park's many dinosaurs lack lips, dinosaurs lack feathers, pterosaurs have no pycnofibers, are shrink-wrapped, possess feet that are too elephantine, have broken pronated arms, monitor lizard-type scaly skin, capable of roaring, to name a few inaccuracies.
23*** ''Stegosaurus'' has the wrong proportions and a droopy-tail.
24** Assuming that at the time, Keeper was in what is currently Hell Creek, Montana, the Green, Silver, Blue, Black, Gold, and Purple Energems should have been received by creatures such as ''Alamosaurus'', ''Thescelosaurus'', ''Edmontosaurus'', ''Champsosaurus'' (a choristoderan reptile), and ''Didelphodon'' (a marten-like marsupial mammal), instead of by ''Velociraptor'', ''Jainosaurus'', ''Stegosaurus'', ''Parasaurolophus'', ''Pteranodon'', and ''Plesiosaurus'' respectively.
25* ArtisticLicenseHistory:
26** Koda is a caveman from 100,000 years ago. At that time, homo sapiens had not yet left Africa, and yet Koda's cave is in California, at least 80,000 years before any humans arrived there.
27** Ivan is from the 13th century, and yet claims to have been friends with Shakespeare, a man who lived in the 16th and 17th centuries.
28* BigBad: Sledge is the lead villain, with Snide as a [[spoiler: temporary DragonAscendant]] and Lord Arcanon as a GreaterScopeVillain [[spoiler: and BigBadWannabe.]]
29* ChestInsignia: Unique this year in that the insignia is formed by a shoulderpad and "sash" pattern across the chest that together resemble a dinosaur head. There are also team logos on the belt and personal ones at the top of the "sash" near the arm.
30* CityOfAdventure: Amber Beach, though the Rangers travel to Auckland following a sighting of one of Sledge's ships at the beginning of "World Famous! in New Zealand" and return home on the Plesiozord at the end of the following episode, "Deep Down Under".
31* ColorCodedCharacters: As usual, the Rangers all dress almost exclusively in their signature color. For a bit of {{Foreshadowing}}, future Rangers can be seen with items of their upcoming Ranger color as well.
32* CommLinks: For the first time since ''[[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Turbo]]'', the Rangers' morphers do not have communication devices built into them, with Dino Coms being separate pieces of equipment entirely[[note]] while the [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Space Rangers]] continued to use the old wrist communicators from the MMPR days, the Astro Morphers were also capable of communication[[/note]]; they act as the Rangers' belt buckles and can also store up to three Dino Chargers.
33* CompressedAdaptation: A downplayed example. ''Dino Charge'' was given 2 seasons of 20 regular episodes, a ChristmasSpecial and HalloweenSpecial each to ''Kyoryuger's'' 48.
34* EvolvingCredits: Has the usual additions of new zords, power-ups and rangers, but also when Dino Super Charge started, they actually changed the typeface of the credits, after having used the same one since Samurai.
35* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Averted a ''lot,'' though expect beams in original footage, and extended shooting scenes cut down a bit.
36* FleetingDemographicRule: It's been 11 years since the [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder last dinosaur series]]; we're overdue.
37** It's also likely the reason they got away with having a main villain in ''Dino Supercharge'' (Snide) that looked a lot like one of the main villains from ''Dino Thunder'' (Zeltrax). Of course, on the ''Kyoryuger'' side of things, the connection was the point of Snide's counterpart, being the personification of the ''Abarangers''' villains' regret at not beating them. His name is even Neo-Geildon (an early user of the Cursed Armor/Zeltrax's counterpart was Geildon).
38* HumongousMecha
39** AnimalMecha: Of the prehistoric variety.
40** CombiningMecha: The T-Rex and Spinozords combine with two of the six "expansion pack" zords to form the Dino Charge and Spino Charge Megazord respectively; and the Dino Charge Megazord can also then attach to the Pterazord for Ptera Formation. When the T-Rex combines with all four of the other main Rangers' zords and the Titanozord, it makes the Dino Charge Ultrazord. The Plesiozord also has an alternate formation by combining with the T-Rex; it always uses the Pachyzord as well and is therefore called Pachy-Rex Formation, but can theoretically use any of the expansion zords or even none at all.
41** LeaderFormsTheHead: Exaggerated; the T-Rex zord makes up all of the main Megazord but the arms.
42** MechaExpansionPack: The Stegozord, Tricerazord, Parazord, Raptor Zord, Ankylozord, and Pachyzord. What's unique this time is that unlike other mecha with expansion packs, the Dino Charge Megazord doesn't have a plain vanilla combination and ''must'' use two of the provided weapon sets.
43** TransformingMecha: the Pterazord, Plesiozord, and Titanozord.
44* LimitedWardrobe: Reverted back to earlier limits of Ranger color scheme instead of the exact same outfit like in most previous series. Also justified in certain cases since the Rangers sometimes wear standard brown work coveralls when on museum business.
45* MakeMyMonsterGrow: This year Sledge fires a "Magna Beam" from his ship in space as opposed to the ''Sentai'' which had the monster be sprinkled with a watering can.
46** For ''Dino Super Charge'', Heckyl fires the Magna Beam from Sledge's destroyed ship and it bounces off an orbiting satellite to grow the monster.
47* MiniDressOfPower: Part of the girl Rangers' suits.
48* ArtisticLicensePaleontology:
49** The show is inconsistent on whether the T. rex has feathers or not; material recycled from ''Kyoryuger'' has them, while original footage does not. The Velociraptor also lacks feathers in both recycled and original footage.
50*** The Para Zord and Pachy Zord are based off of Parasauropholus and Pachycephalosaurs respectively, but in the show they dinosaur names are shortened to Parasaur and Pachysaur. The Pteranodon and Brachiosaur are also called semi-valid but dubious names of Pterodactyl and Titanosaurus; though both of those may be intentional nods to ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers''.
51** The show has Jurassic dinosaurs like Stegosaurus and Brachiosaurus [[AnachronismStew living in late Cretaceous period]]. Though they did call Brachiosaurus Titanosaurus, which ''did'' in fact live in the late Cretaceous.
52* OneSteveLimit: Enforced. The Red Ranger was originally going to be "Lucas", and some early merchandise even uses that name; but it was later changed to "Tyler" because the franchise already had a Lucas back in ''Time Force''. Similarly, the casting sheet listed the Green Ranger as "Ryan" when there was one in ''Lightspeed Rescue''; while early merchandising says "Quinn" and his final name is "Riley". Averted for the SixthRanger Ivan, who shares his name with NonSerialMovie villain [[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie Ivan Ooze]]. You've also got Kendall Morgan, who shares a lot in common with similarly named (but unrelated) [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Kendrix Morgan]].
53* RecycledInSpace: Power Rangers [[AC:with DINOSAURS... [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers A THIRD]] [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder TIME]]!]]
54* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The core team only has one female in the group - the first time that this has happened in a major five-man team.[[note]]The Alien Rangers were temporary stand-ins, and other one-girl teams from the Disney era were {{Power Trio}}s.[[/note]] Previously, when ''Sentai'' had only one girl in five, Saban would use ShesAManInJapan to gender-flip a male Yellow Ranger. Kendall is later promoted to the Purple Ranger, but with the series' other guest Rangers the ratio is ''still'' one-to-five.
55* SuperMode: The Dino Drive armored vests are partial examples, since they're only used as Megazord powerups. The second season adds an upgraded version, Dino Super Drive. Unlike the previous version, one Dino Charger activates the mode for the entire team. The Ranger who activated it also gets a new weapon, the Dino Super Drive Saber. [[spoiler:Later, Tyler gets the T-Rex Super Charge mode.]]
56* {{Thememobile}}: The Dino Cycles.
57* TransformationTrinket: Surprisingly, ''Dino Charge'' kept the team gun as the morpher as it was in ''Kyoryuger''; despite speculation that they'd make a new morpher and leave the gun as only a weapon due to violence concerns. However, starting from episode 3, insta-morphs without the gun are done as well. The Gold and Silver Rangers get their own unique morphers, called the Gold Ptera Morpher and Titano Morpher respectively.
58** The Titano Morpher being a repaint of the gun. (Also, two Rangers who ''didn't'' have the gun in Kyoryuger - members of the PredecessorHero team whose heyday was before guns existed - have it in PRDC.)
59* WeaponBasedCharacterization:
60** SwordAndGun: The Dino Sabers and Dino Charge Morphers.
61*** BifurcatedWeapon: Which can be combined into the Dino Blade Blaster.
62*** BayonetYa: The Dino Blade Blaster's Power Blade, done by extending the Saber blade. Kendall favors this configuration, though Chase also used it once when making a long-range shot.
63** PowerFist: Tyler's T-Rex Smasher.
64** AutomaticCrossbows: Chase's Para Chopper.
65** LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Koda's Stego Shield.
66** WolverineClaws: Riley's Raptor Claw.
67** ThisIsADrill: Shelby's Tricera Drill.
68** CoolSword: Ivan's Ptera Saber.
69** EpicFlail: Prince Philip's "Royal Power Punch" attack summons one similar to his Zord's tail mace just for the duration.
70** MixAndMatchWeapon: Ivan's Gold Ptera Morpher can both fire projectile bolts and strike with a blade. Also the Super Dino Drive Saber, a sword with a revolver barrel built into the hilt.
71%% * WordPower
72** BondOneLiner: "Monster, extinct!"
73*** Ivan uses "Monster, vanquished!"
74** {{Invocation}}: Morphing involves multiple phrases: "It's Morphin' Time! Dino Charger, Ready! Energize! Unleash the power!" It's often cut back to just "Energize!", but since the first morph shown is completely by accident the phrases clearly aren't required.
75** InTheNameOfTheMoon[=/=]TransformationNameAnnouncement:
76-->"Power Rangers, charge!"
77-->"Tyrannosaurus Rex! Power Ranger, Red!"
78-->"Parasaur! Power Ranger, Black!"
79-->"Stegosaurus! Power Ranger, Blue!"

86
87[[folder:This show provides examples of]]
88* [[AbsurdlyYouthfulMother Absurdly Youthful Father]]: [[spoiler: Tyler's dad James hasn't aged in 10 years thanks to the Aqua Energem.]]
89* AdaptationDyeJob: The Pink Ranger's Triceratops zord was initially indigo in the toyline, despite being pink in the show. But due to fan outrage [[https://twitter.com/Odot92/status/502590059221364737 it was changed back to Pink]]. (Though it's entirely possible that the initial indigo color was nothing more than a factory error and it was always meant to still be pink).
90* AdaptationalBadass: From a meta perspective. This is the 3rd Pterazord in the franchise. However, previous pterazords were mostly add ons to the megazord, with their best use being a weapon to use. The pterazord in Dinocharge however is its own megazord, and is strong enough to take on the Dinocharge Megazord in normal mode with lightning blasts.
91* TheAgeless: As it turns out, a perk of being bonded to an Energem. Just look at Koda - looking pretty spry for someone going on 100,000. Of course, being a HumanPopsicle for most of that time probably helped.
92* AirVentEscape: Riley and the others in "When Logic Fails". Possibly justified, since Puzzler's RealityWarping may have had the side-effect of making the air-vents larger. Or because Puzzler was so busy warping rooms, covering doors with walls and altering maps that he forgot about the vents.
93* AllCavemenWereNeanderthals: Averted. Koda is a 100,000 year old caveman yet is anatomically indistinguishable from modern humans. Considering he is 100% ''Homo sapiens'', this and him not having stereotypical traits like grunting speech or a huge brow ridge is quite accurate.
94* AnAsskickingChristmas: ''Race to Rescue Christmas'' and ''Here Comes Heximas'', each taking place the day before Christmas and having the Rangers battle some enemy, including Zord fights. ''Here Comes Heximas'' actually adapts its Sentai counterpart's own episode with this trope - Heximas uses the suit and giant footage from [[BadSanta Debo Yanasanta]].
95* TheArtifact: Though there have clearly been steps to avoid this through PragmaticAdaptation, some aspects of the original sentai appear here without explanation.
96** Ivan having a different morpher from the other rangers is never explained, even though everyone other ranger who appears gets a Dino Blaster and he has a crossbow-like device. In the sentai it was because his morpher was created before guns were invented, but in Power Rangers his morpher clearly doesn't materialize until present day.
97** Phillip's [[spoiler:and James']] suits have a muted sash instead of bright yellow like other rangers. This is never explained in the show, though in Kyoryuger it was because Kyoryu Grey and Aqua were spirits.
98** The show goes through great ways to cut around the Sentai's carnival theme (The Red Ranger's T-Rex Super Charge mode is literally called "Carnival Mode" in the Sentai). This leaves a few strange artifacts, such as the T-Rex Super Charge mode sequences featuring confetti and colored fireworks while the regular morphing sequences do not, and the fact that in some of the footage, the red ranger is clearly dancing (Carnival mode has the red ranger dance alongside the zords in the Sentai).
99** Sledge's crew and prisoners having gaping faces on their outfits. In the original sentai, it's a sign of their desire to collect human emotion to free their master - anger for Fury, sorrow for Wrench, joy for Poisandra. In Dino Charge, there's no such goal, so the faces are just there for decoration.
100* ArtifactOfDoom: The Dark Energem, which can corrupt good people and create evil split personalities just by touching them, [[spoiler: which is how Heckyl became evil and gained his alter-ego Snide, and Zenowing gained his own alter-ego Doomwing]]. It also powers up beings who are already pure evil, such as [[spoiler: Lord Arcanon]]. Turns out [[spoiler: destroying it is even ''worse.'']]
101* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Besides the general naming issues and lack of feathers on dinos that should have them[[note]]in the case of T-Rex the [[http://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2017/06/revenge-of-scaly-tyrannosaurus.html issue of feathering]] is still heavily debated[[/note]], the first episode has multiple flubs:
102** There is no scientific reason for the various species of dinosaur in the prologue to exist in the same scene together, much less get along peacefully. Conveniently, the most problematic of these, the water-dwelling Plesiosaur, is kept off-camera. Also in the prologue, aerial shots show the continents as they look in the modern day rather than how they looked in prehistory.
103** Later on, a dinosaur skeleton is shown in the museum that Chase states was uncovered nearby. Its head crest identifies it as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryolophosaurus Cryolophosaurus]], which was native to ''Antarctica''.
104** Shelby tries to impress Kendall with her in-depth knowledge of dinosaurs by explaining that only two of Triceratops' horns were bone with the other being made of keratin. In reality, all ceratopsian horns consist of a large bone core covered in a keratin sheet with there being no evidence of any dinosaur possessing purely soft tissue horns.
105** Later still, the Plesiosaur is repeatedly referred to as a dinosaur, with two of the people doing so consisting of a professional paleontologist and Shelby, who is a self-professed dinosaur nerd.
106** The Pterodactyl is not truly a dinosaur, either.
107** That said, averted in the case of ''paleoanthropology''. Koda being portrayed as identical to a modern human despite being 100,000 years old is actually quite accurate; as anatomically modern humans have been around for about twice that long.
108* BabyCarriage: A flashback in "Breaking Black" shows Chase earning his Energem saving a baby from a runaway carriage about to be hit by a bus. [[spoiler: It contains a kitten rather than a human infant, but still]].
109* BackForTheFinale: Kaylee, Mr. Watkins, Matt, and Zach all appear in "End of Extinction" to help the Rangers' plan to destroy the Dark Energem.
110** Santa Claus makes a return in the actual finale/epilogue, ''Here Comes Heximas''.
111* TheBadGuyWins:
112** "Double Ranger, Double Danger" ends in a mess for the Rangers. They lost the Energem scanner, forcing them to destroy it in order to keep it out for the bad guys's hands, but Fury recovers the Dino Charger they still had in the machine, meaning he can use the Pterazord now.
113** "Wishing for a Hero" doesn't turn out much better. The monster was destroyed, but they lost the purple energem in the process, and still aren't any closer to finding a new ranger for it.
114* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The rangers all made wishes on wish cards which were cursed by the monster in "Wishing for a Hero". Unfortunately, a Wish monster had cursed them so that they came true at first, but then turned bad afterwards. The worst, of course, was Kendall wishing for a purple ranger. She almost got one...[[spoiler: With a bad guy.]]
115* BirthdayEpisode: It's Riley's birthday in the episode "No Matter How You Slice It".
116* BodyguardBabes: Parodied with Miss Sandra in "Riches to Rags". The oversized FemmeFatalons are just part of it.
117* BodyHorror: Curio, who is made from spare monster parts.
118* BountyHunter: Sledge, the BigBad of the season. Also a very BadBoss to work with, as Fury can attest.
119* BoxedCrook: A variation (as they are in the employ of the BigBad). The [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] are held captive in Sledge's prison ship, and sent out to fight the Rangers as a sort of probation.
120* BreakingOldTrends: ''Dino Charge'' is the first ''Power Rangers'' series to not have a Yellow Ranger.
121* CallBack:
122** In "When Logic Fails", Riley comments on how all the villains are on different paths but they're leading to the same destination. This is the same lesson that Keeper taught about him and Chase in "The Tooth Hurts".
123** The ending scene in "One More Energem" is one to the first scene of "Past, Present, and Fusion" with Tyler playfully calling Shelby a 'Di-know-it-all' and Riley's moped not working prompting the other two to offer a ride. Tyler also happens to be wearing the same shirt in both instances. Shelby even lampshades this:
124---> Is this déjà vu or what?
125* CastFromHitPoints: Fury uses the being inside of him [[spoiler:(Ivan)]] to [[spoiler: charge the Ptera Charger]]. This drains [[spoiler:Ivan]], which in turn seems to harm Fury as well.
126* ChristmasEpisode: "Race To Rescue Christmas" in Season 1, and "Here Comes Heximas" in Season 2. The latter episode is actually set ''following'' the ''official'' finale.
127* ClingyMacGuffin: Yet again, we have a powerful item that "chooses" to bond with people who just happen to find them. For bonus points, this is just like [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder the last dinosaur Power Rangers series]] in that regard. Keeper later demonstrates that he can break the bond if the host wishes it.
128* ClipShow: Four of them - the [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween episodes]] ''The Ghostest With the Mostest'' (in ''Dino Charge'') and ''Trick or Trial'' (in ''Dino Supercharge''), and the [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas episodes]] ''Race to Rescue Christmas'' (in ''Dino Charge'') and ''Here Comes Heximas'' (in ''Dino Supercharge''), are this. Unusually, they also use footage from actual monster battles that weren't previously used in the series.
129** ''The Ghostest with the Mostest'' has one of the rangers kidnapped and replaced by a monster in disguise. In order to determine who the fake is, Kendall asks the rangers questions about previous events in the series. Clips from those points are shown as the rangers answer them.
130** ''Race to Rescue Christmas'' has Poissandra, Curio and Wrench watch the ranger's nice or naughty assessment on Santa's computer, which involves footage from other episodes detailing their achievements.
131** ''Trick or Trial'' has the spirits of dead monsters recounting out the Rangers fought and destroyed them, with clips from those episodes.
132** ''Here Comes Heximas'' has four of the Rangers get turned evil by the titular monster's plot. The spell is broken through reminding them (with accompanying clips from past shows) of who and what they really are.
133* CompressedVice: Riley suffers from this in "Home Run Koda", living vicariously through his teammate's success at baseball because he was never any good as a child. While Riley has mentioned his less-athletic past before, this is the first time he's been so ''drastically'' focused on proving himself.
134* TheCretaceousIsAlwaysDoomed: Of course, Sledge and the Keeper reach Earth the day the asteroids hit. Though there's a very good reason for that: they're ''responsible'' for the asteroids. Ultimately {{Subverted}} in the finale.
135* CutLexLuthorACheck: Sledge has a shipful of the galaxy's most wanted criminals. Will he either (a) turn them in, become insanely rich, and be hailed as a hero for capturing them, or (b) lose them all by sending them against the Rangers one by one? You get no points for guessing which he's going to do.
136** To be fair, the Energems are implied to be way more valuable than the criminals. Plus, he actually '''does''' consider it at times.
137** Furthermore, in "The Ghostest With the Mostest", Wrench is shown to have adapted a machine that can re-animate destroyed monsters, so in theory, Sledge can now get both the Energems '''and''' all the bounties - just re-animate all the monsters once the Energems are secured!
138* DemotedToExtra: The most dangerous criminal on Sledge's ship is [[spoiler:Deboss, the BigBad of Kyoryuger.]]
139* DenouementEpisode: "Here Comes Heximas", the second ChristmasEpisode, chronologically takes place after the main story.
140* DescriptionCut: Sledge talks about how miserable he was in different parts of the world [[spoiler: while conducting his master plan.]] This is of course contradicted by pictures shown on screen showing Sledge doing all sorts of fun looking things.
141* ADogNamedDog: There's a monster among Sledge's crew called Bones... because he's a monster made of bones. There's also a ninja among the criminals whose name is... Ninja. And working with him is a big-game hunter named... Hunter.
142* DomesticatedDinosaurs: The dinosaurs in the prologue, especially the T. rex, seem to be this way; acknowledging and following the Keeper's requests. Though their may actually be some [[JustifiedTrope justification]] for this. For example, when the Keeper speaks to the Rex the first time, he appears to form some kind of psychic connection with the animal.
143* TheDreaded: Heckyl, made obvious by the reactions of Fury, Wrench, and Sledge's prisoners when Sledge declared he was releasing him.
144** Sledge is also dreaded enough for no one to challenge him, including prisoners let go to battle the Rangers. Meanwhile, the only one ''Sledge'' dreads is Arcanon.
145* EarlyBirdCameo: Because Sledge's ship has ALL its prisoners in open faced cells, this means that monsters that will be sent out later in the season can be seen as early as the first episode before they get their chance to fight the rangers. The next-to-last MOTW Badussa is seen in the first episode!
146* EmpathicWeapon: As in ''Kyoryuger'', the Rangers' powers seem tied to an emotion, but unlike in Kyoryuger were it was bravery, the Energems seem to react to selflessness and altruism.
147* EvilDetectingDog: In episode 2, Riley's dog Rubik goes crazy and chases after something in the woods. It turns out to be Fury.
148* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: Tyler uses his catch phrase as one in "One More Energem" as he prepares to jump out of [[spoiler: Sledge's crashing ship]] even though he doubts he'd be able to survive at all. "It's about to get wild!"
149* TheFellowshipHasEnded: The first season ends with [[spoiler: everybody except for Ms. Morgan, Ivan, and Koda (who stay in Amber Beach to seek the two remaining Energems) going their separate ways. With Sledge defeated there are no pressing threats to the Energems, and they can all return to their own lives... [[TheEndOrIsIt At least until Snide appears on the scene]].]] The GrandFinale ends with it as well, naturally. However, the post-script ChristmasEpisode has them reassemble for one more battle, and ends with all ten members of the team together and enjoying a Christmas party, letting us know they'll always be in each other's lives.
150* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Averted. Ivan has little trouble with the current world. Koda has a bit more but has had time to adjust.
151* FishingForSole: In the episode "Gone Fishin'", this happens to Chase.
152* {{Foil}}: Chase and Riley. The latter is TheStoic, type A, and extremely disciplined. The former is TheCasanova, relaxed, and tends to unconventional methods of training.
153* {{Foreshadowing}}: Sledge taking Spellbinder's amulet for future uses. It was used to fuse Spellbinder and Gold Digger together into a new monster, Spelldigger, although [[spoiler:this happens in ''Supercharge'', meaning Sledge isn't around anymore]].
154** One that is probably unintentional, but when Kendall and Shelby form the Anklo's first dino charge [[spoiler:the number on the charge is 7 instead of the expected 6 -- this foreshadows that the Aqua Gem is not the ONLY missing Dino Gem that's already bonded to someone]].
155* FourTemperamentEnsemble
156** Tyler (Eclectic)
157** Chase (Sanguine)
158** Koda (Phlegmatic)
159** Riley (Melancholic)
160** Shelby (Choleric)
161* FreakyFridayFlip: The episode "Freaky Fight Day".
162* FreezeFrameBonus:
163** Sledge's cell blocks. If you're familiar with Kyoryuger's monsters, chances are you might recognize some of them, [[spoiler:including D]].
164** One bounty poster in the first episode has the picture of the monster Monkeywi from ''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury''.
165** In ''Wishing for a Hero'', [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Beevil]] and [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Necrolai]] can be seen among the prisoners.
166* GottaCatchEmAll: This series has the rangers searching for the ten Energems before Sledge does, as well as people worthy enough to bond with them and become rangers themselves. This is downplayed, since by the second episode they already have a five-ranger team and, therefore, five Energems.
167* GratuitousSpecialEffects: While its source material prided itself on using mostly practical effects for the Zords, Dino Charge has some original footage with no such regard.
168** The dinos in the first 10 minutes of Episode 1.... do not look good on a real background.
169** Rexy in the end when he rampages through the woods and attacks Iceage.
170** The sabre-toothed tiger in Koda's DreamSequence in "Return of the Caveman".
171* HalloweenEpisode: "The Ghostest With The Mostest" in Season 1, and "Trick Or Trial" in Season 2.
172* HandsomeHeroicCaveman: Koda. His hairness is confined solely to his long, messy head hair; otherwise he's muscular, hairless, tall, and handsome, reflecting his brave and selfless character.
173* HeadButtingPachy: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] due to being a {{Mecha}} the Pachy Zord naturally [[UseYourHead headbutts]] enemies.
174* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: The keeper of the Energems, named Keeper.
175* HumanPopsicle: This is how Koda made it to modern times, as we see during his flashback that he was falling into an ice filled ocean when his Energem activated.
176* HurlItIntoTheSun: [[spoiler: How three of the core villains are ultimately beaten - after the team goes back in time sixty-five million years, to the day Sledge first came to Earth, the auxiliary Rangers and Heckyll infiltrated Sledge's ship, locked Poisandra in a cell, then used an electro-net to capture a giant Sledge himself and set the ship on an autopilot course right into the sun, taking the trio and all their captive monsters with it. Of the monsters who'd accompanied Sledge, Fury is spared this fate, having been destroyed by Keeper's crystal bomb while on Earth. Heximas, a prisoner was somehow out of his cell and managed to escape in an escape pod, which Wrench originally intended to use, however Heximas pushed Wrench aside and Heximas escaped, happily leaving Wrench and the rest of the ship’s inhabitants to die.]]
177* ICallItVera: Tyler takes to calling the T-Rex Zord "Rexie" after getting friendly with it.
178* IfItSwimsItFlies: The Plesiozord, though justified as it's also part-spaceship.
179* IgnoredAesop:
180** "The Royal Rangers" involves the crew [[spoiler: tricking Fury into stealing a fake Energem by disguising themselves as foreign royalty and entourage. It works, but Shelby didn't want to play a "spoiled princess."]] After the whole thing, Keeper ends the Episode by stating that [[spoiler: "princesses don't have to be spoiled."]] It seemed like an attempt to address negative stereotypes; except said stereotypical portrayals were what tricked Fury in the first place. Plus, only Shelby's case is addressed in detail.
181** "Knight After Knights" bungles its message of [[spoiler: "courage isn't fearlessness"]] by the simple fact that the [[spoiler: Rangers' bravery immediately returns to them once they realize Keeper is right instead of actually putting said message into practice by nervously approaching the battlefield for Shelby's sake first]]. This also defeats the entire logic behind the MOTW [[note]]The monster's gimmick involved him actually stealing people's backbones, thus removing their courage. But, Keeper says he only stole a symbol.....even though the entire Episode up to this point has done nothing but prove this wrong.[[/note]] and renders it harmless in the process.
182* IncorruptiblePurePureness: In "No Matter How You Slice It", the monster Shearfear is able to snip apart the bonds of friendship between the rangers...except for Koda's. To him the rangers are more than just friends, they're his family.
183* InSpiteOfANail: The somewhat controversial season 2 finale [[spoiler: The Rangers go back in time to the pre-historic era and destroy Sledge (along with everyone on his ship). Returning to the present they find their world exactly the same as they left it, with only real difference being dinosaurs not being extinct because Sledge's asteroids never wiped them out.]]
184* JarPotty: Implied at the end of TheTeaser to "Let Sleeping Zords Lie", where Shelby drinks the other Rangers' drinks and then grabs one of the empty cups, suggesting that she intends to relieve herself in it.
185* JekyllAndHyde: Heckyl and Snide, naturally. However, instead of switching from good to evil, they share the role of BigBad. Heckyl is a careful mastermind while Snide is more impatient and wants to smash. Neither will hesitate to end you the second you become inconvenient. [[spoiler: It was ultimately Double-Subverted.]]
186** Also, played more straight with Doomwing and Zenowing when we first met them.
187* KangarooCourt: In the 2nd Halloween special, the villain Scumlaw tries to convict the rangers of murdering monsters, where he apparently has the Jury bought and paid for.
188* KickTheDog: Fury would have killed Riley's dog Rubik for no other reason but that Rubik annoyed him had Riley not jumped in.
189* KlingonsLoveShakespeare: Despite being on earth for business, the crew of Sledge's ships seem to have love for certain aspects of human culture. For example, Curio is a big fan of Halloween, Poissandra enjoys their tv, Heckyl likes some of their food ingredients, and both Poissandra and Sledge seem to have an affection for some of earth's vacation spots such as Hawaii.
190* ALizardNamedLiz: Tyler nicknames his T-Rex Zord "Rexy".
191* LocalReference: In an interesting inversion, the American ''Dino Charge'' has actually lot more references to its country of production than in years past including Chase himself (averting FakeAmerican outright), his little sister (averting {{The Kids Are|American}} [[InvertedTrope Kiwi]]), Moana, and the two-episode arc that takes place almost entirely in New Zealand.
192* LoveTriangle: In "Sync or Swim", Tyler and Ivan begin competing for Shelby's affections. She'd shown some friendship and attraction to both of them before, so naturally the two were rivals for the episode, before working together against Sledge had them put aside their harsh feelings for each other. Though Shelby still hasn't decided who she likes more...
193* LovesMyAlterEgo: "A Date with Danger" revolves around a girl with whom Chase has just broken up falling in love with the Black Ranger.
194* MadeOfExplodium: All of the MonsterOfTheWeek Game Face's sports equipment is explosive, which serves as a plot point when he plans on [[spoiler: detonating the baseball bat that Koda accidentally stole from him]].
195* MechanicalLifeforms: The Zords are this. They possess some degree of sapience, and if they aren't regularly exposed to their Energem they can get sick and die. However, it's established in "Deep Down Under" that, as zords, they're entirely different from real dinosaurs. It's implied that they were the original beasts that bonded to the Energems, and were transformed.
196* MoneySpider: The MonsterOfTheWeek Spelldigger is this, generating gold coins that cause people to turn greedy. The rangers actually plan on using this to pay off a large debt that Ivan accidentally gained, guessing that the monster's destruction would also break the spell on the coins. [[spoiler: It works, but only for a moment before the coins disappear as well.]]
197* MythologyGag: [[MythologyGag/PowerRangersDinoCharge Has its own page.]]
198* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
199** The Keeper tricked Fury into bringing his crystal bomb onto Sledge's ship instead of the Energems; not a bad plan. But then that caused the ship to [[PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs drop the asteroids Sledge was collecting...]]
200** [[spoiler: In the finale, the Rangers blast the Dark Energem with help from the people of Earth hoping to destroy it. They do but end up causing a ''black hole which destroys the Earth'', necessitating a trip back into the past to keep Sledge from accidentally bombarding the prehistoric era with the asteroids and stop him there to keep the events of the future from happening.]]
201* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The Beauticruel monster's voice is based on Ethel Merman.
202* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:Heckyl's attempt to keep the Dark Energem out of Lord Arcanon's hands led to him being corrupted by it, creating Snide, and giving him amnesia which kickstarted his villainy.]]
203* NoOntologicalInertia: The Rangers are counting on this to make a monster's evil coins lose their corrupting influence. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, they DidntThinkThisThrough fully; the coins ''disappear altogether''.]]
204* NoPowerNoColor: The Dino Morph Blasters don't take on their usual colorful and technological appearance until the to-be-Rangers insert their respective Energems into them. Before that, they look just like rocky fossils.
205* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Chase is supposed to be a New Zealander who is now living in the United States (but the show was really being filmed in New Zealand).
206* {{Notzilla}}: The Greenzilla monsters.
207* PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs: Nobody involved particularly ''wanted'' to kill the dinosaurs, but Sledge was hauling a load of asteroids when the Keeper bombed his ship...
208* PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: "Breaking Black"
209* PragmaticAdaptation: While there are some similarities in the characters, ''Dino Charge'' has a completely different story than ''Kyoryuger'', much like [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder the last dinosaur themed show]]. Even the MonsterOfTheWeek often has the same power and gimmick but the story that comes of its use can be completely different.
210* PureOfHeart: The Energems are attracted to people who display this, but they won't necessarily work properly for the user if they stop being pure. Chase finds this out in "True Black" when he relentlessly mocks Shelby for liking a boy band (a New Zealander one, at that), and later finds that his power-ups don't work because of it.
211* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Done in "When Evil Stirs" in a unique way: Rather than calling everyone back together to fight Snide, they are ''thrust'' back together when he starts hunting them down.
212* RearrangeTheSong: "Go Go Power Rangers" returns yet again, though the ''Dino Charge'' version inserts more lines into the chorus and has entirely new verses.
213* RecklessGunUsage:
214** Right after he gets his morpher, Tyler starts fiddling with it and nearly shoots Shelby by accident. She's upset, but her anger is cut short since they're under attack by an ice monster and they decide to turn their guns on ''him''.
215*** Worse, ''even right after Tyler nearly accidentally puts a hole in Shelby's face,'' they still do a lot of dramatic posing and such with their guns (fingers on triggers, too!) that would make anyone who's ever even been in the same room as a real gun hold their breath. Maybe they ''should'' have made the Dino Coms the morphers after all...
216** In "Return of the Caveman", Sledge launches Slammer's space pod by shooting the launch button with his ArmCannon.
217** In "The Ghostest With the Mostest", Shelby accidentally shoots Chase with a Dino Cupid blast while trying to figure out how to get the Cupid Charger out of her Morpher. Probably would have been better to fiddle with it in a private corner of the base (and with Kendall's help), even though ultimately it had no lasting harm besides giving Chase a case of temporary AcquiredSituationalNarcissism.
218** In "Wishing for a Hero", Wrench makes Sledge a new HandCannon; Sledge waves it around for a bit as Wrench warns him to be careful and tries to divert Sledge's aim away from him and the {{Mooks}}.
219* RecordScratch: [[spoiler: In "End Of Extinction", the rangers go back in time. Sledge, who had never seen them before tries to impress them with the Magna Beam. But the rangers point out they already know that exists. This causes a short record scratch, when Sledge is stunned by the fact they already heard of it.]]
220* ResetButton: [[spoiler: The Rangers have to time travel to the past after they accidentally get the Earth sucked into a black hole.]]
221* RoarBeforeBeating: The Dino Charge Megazord and the Spino Charge Megazord, although silent, appear to roar every time before they're about to use a finishing blow on a monster.
222* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Prince Phillip the Third of Zandar, the Graphite Ranger.
223* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: While not aired together or titled as such, the premiere very much follows a two-part structure with the first episode only having the setup and ATasteOfPower and the second episode having the ''real'' debuts. Riley didn't even appear in the first episode at all. Even after that, the personal weapons and Megazord were delayed to get their own feature introductions in episode 3. And Curio didn't show up until episode ''4'', with his absence until then, and his sentai role of monster-grower being taken by the Magna Beam, leading some to think that he had been AdaptedOut completely.
224* ShipTease: A subtle one during episode 7. Tyler was ''really'' worried when he found out Shelby fell into a hole with a brainwashed Zord inside.
225** And then brought into full swing thrice in episode 8:
226*** Tyler admitting in his narration that Shelby is cute.
227*** Shelby happily hugging Tyler after he showed up to complete the Dino Spike and destroy the monster.
228*** Shelby recovering Tyler's bracelet and even putting it back on him.
229* ShirtlessScene: Koda's a WalkingShirtlessScene as mentioned below. Tyler gets plenty as well, Chase gets one in "Catching Some Rays", and Riley gets one in "Wings of Danger".
230* ShovelStrike: The main characters have a thing for always finding a spare shovel somewhere to use as a weapon, to the point where it is now a RunningGag. Which [[FridgeBrilliance makes sense]], because they are frequently going on archaeological ''digs'' - ostensibly for fossils, but in actuality to find the Energems. So it's natural they'd be lying around handy a lot.
231* ShoutOut:
232** Hard to know if it's intentional, but when a courage-stealing monster demonstrates his power on Fury, Fury becomes a [[Film/TheWizardOfOz cowardly lion]].
233*** Speaking of which, though this holds over from Kyoryuger, Fury, Wrench, and Curio are a lion, a tin man, and a scarecrow.
234** While fighting a monster in space thanks to the Plesio Charge Megazord's flight capabilities, Shelby's PreMortemOneLiner is "[[Franchise/StarTrek Let's make space his final frontier!]]"
235** When Tyler and Ivan return Sledge's bomb to the ship and throw it at them, Sledge yells, ''[[Film/StarTrek2009 Fire everything!]]"
236** Switch Heckyl's cravat for a bowtie and he pretty much becomes a dead ringer for [[Series/DoctorWho the Eleventh Doctor]].
237** After Sledge [[spoiler: returns from being presumed dead]], Poisandra rebuffs his attempts to win her back, stating "[[Music/{{Beyonce}} If you like it then you should've put a ring on it!]]
238** The final episode has a brief mention of a planet named [[Series/KamenRider Kamen 5,]] plus a final nod to ''Film/JurassicPark'' with [[spoiler:not just live dinosaurs, but a triceratops with indigestion, like the first movie.]]
239* ShownTheirWork:
240** Chase's Kiwi slang (Such as calling Riley "You beauty!" in "When Logic Fails", which is slang for "Good job!") is quite accurate. To be fair, James Davies ''is'' a native New Zealander, which sort of makes it RealLifeWritesThePlot, not dissimilar to Richard Brancatisano (Xander) in ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce''.
241** The ChekhovsGun in "Riches and Rags", a gold bar deposited by Ivan circa 800 years ago that since then accumulated so much interest that it was enough to pay off the millionaire, has some basis in reality. Interests existed in the medieval age, and the price of gold has spiked since the US did away with the gold standard in the seventies.
242* SleevesAreForWimps: Koda usually wears a tank top and a denim vest. And he sometimes brags about his "caveman strength".
243* SomebodySetUpUsTheBomb:
244** In the first episode, Keeper tricks Fury into bringing the former's crystal bomb into Sledge's ship instead of the Energems. When Sledge discovers this, the bomb explodes, causing Sledge to release his asteroids and the extinction of the dinosaurs.
245** In the final episode, Tyler [[spoiler:swaps the Energems again for the crystal bomb, this time killing Fury]].
246* StageMom: Amusingly, ''Riley'' slowly mutates into one in "Home Run Koda".
247* TheStarscream: Heckyl[[spoiler:/Snide]] is shown to be more ambitious than the other [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters Of The Week]] that the Rangers have fought. [[spoiler:With Sledge out of the way, he's now the new BigBad for Dino Supercharge]].
248* StormingTheCastle: Done in ''epic'' Power Ranger fashion. At first, the Rangers were planning to smuggle a small robot on board Sledge's ship to recover the Purple Energem. After Sledge captured Keeper and stole the Red Energem from Tyler however, he, Shelby, and Kendell boarded Sledge's ship to recover the Energems and save Keeper. In addition to Kendall becoming the Purple Ranger, after helping the others get off safely, Tyler stayed behind to recover his Energem before Sledge could use its power to destroy the other rangers and the Dino Charge Megazord, culminating in a FinalBattle between him and Sledge that caused Sledge's ship to fall out of orbit, with Tyler leaping out and safely caught by the Ptera Zord while Sledge and his crew perished in the crash of their ship. (Of course, we find out that they spoke too soon, on the bit with the villains perishing...)
249* SurpriseParty: One happens for Riley's brithday at the end of the episode "No Matter How You Slice It".
250* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Played for laughs in "The Tooth Hurts". Chase is hit with a blast that causes him extreme tooth decay, but he's still able to morph. During the roll call, Chase fails to finish his line because his mouth is in serious pain and has to let the other continue. Even during the big catchphrase and explosions, Chase's pain still prevents him from actually taking on his AsskickingPose with the others.
251* TakenForGranite: Seven rangers get turned into stone in the episode "The Rangers Rock".
252* ToiletHumor:
253** The Oviraptor Dino Charger releases toxic gas, and the Rangers can't help but compare it to farting[[note]]Which was exactly what the Ovirappoo Zyudenchi did in ''Kyoryuger''[[/note]]. The fact that the gas is discharged through the Megazord's ''left'' shoulder (corresponding with the T-Rex's tail) rather than its right (the head) does it no favors.
254** No source material required for the case of the Rangers staking out a corner of the museum to catch a vandal, by hiding inside a crate. With only one pair of eyeholes for ventilation. Then Koda lets rip a Jurassic one.
255* UncannyValley:
256** Used rather well in "Breaking Black." The MindControlEyes Spellbinder's victims get look ''very'' unnatural, but this works to the plot's advantage by highlighting how creepy his power is.
257** Heckyl is trying to act like a normal human, but he's always just ''slightly'' off. It is both creepy and fitting, since he's a {{Human Alien|s}}. Also, considering that he [[spoiler:was there long before humans evolved]] and spent who knows how long in solitary confinement, it's understandable that he doesn't have the ''human part'' exactly nailed down.
258* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Keeper's bombing of Sledge's ship leads to the extinction of the dinosaurs and causes the events of the series to happen in the first place.
259* VoicesAreMental: The second FreakyFridayFlip does this... and a regular civilian [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall can somehow hear the difference.]]
260* WalkingShirtlessScene: Koda is almost always shirtless when he's in the Dinolair - which is most of the time.
261* WeakButSkilled: the monster Nightmare is a joke in battle. Not even managing to throw a single good punch at the rangers. However, its power to control people's dreams and make them sleep through his pillows made him quite dangerous as a force, and almost gave Heckyl a victory.
262* WeAreAsMayflies: Keeper and all the villains have been around at least 65 million years.
263* WeirdnessCensor: During Heckyl's time pretending to be an ordinary person, none of the Rangers find anything unusual about his name, appearance or mannerisms.
264* WhamEpisode:
265** "One More Energem": Sledge comes close to victory: he kidnaps Keeper, steals Tyler's Energem, and unleashes the other solitary monster [[spoiler: Greenzilla]], nearly destroying the rangers. However, Kendall manages to sneak onto Sledge's ship, and in the rush, [[spoiler: becomes the new purple ranger]]. With Shelby and Tyler's help, she and Keeper escape, and then Tyler steals back the red energem. Together, they destroy the monster with a new formation, and after accidentally destroying the control panel, Sledge's ship crashes. With Sledge supposedly gone, the rangers return to their normal lives, with Ivan, Kendall and Koda staying behind to find the last two energems. However, as the credits roll, the camera pans over the smoldering wreckage of Sledge's ship and into a familiar corridor and a "Danger" sign flickers. The door opens, and [[spoiler: Snide (Heckyl's monster form) appears]] and says [[DiscOneFinalBoss "It's my turn, now" rather ominously.]]
266** ''Nightmare in Amber Beach'': [[spoiler:Shelby exposes Heckyl's deception to the Rangers.]]
267** ''Roar of the Red Ranger'': While testing out a battlizer mode for Tyler, a monster ninja sneaks a virus into the charger, turning Tyler feral. The team finds him, but he's too strong. Suddenly, the Aqua ranger finally makes his debut an reveals himself: It's [[spoiler: Tyler's long lost dad.]]
268** ''Gone Fishing'': While half the rangers are on a fishing trip, the other half receive a message from deep space: The Silver Ranger is there in space, and to find him, they have to revive the titanozord. The message is destroyed by Singe before they can find its location, but it turns out Singe already knew where the zord was....at the lake where the other rangers are. After a fierce battle, the rangers revive the zord, and Heckyl, not being as single minded as Snide, asks Singe how he knew where the zord was. Only saying that his boss is far more evil than he can imagine, Singe retreats back into space, Heckyl giving Fury new orders: destroy Singe on sight.
269** ''Recipe for Disaster'': A new evil force arrives on earth: Lord Arcanon. Not only is he [[spoiler: the GreaterScopeVillain of the series]], but after the monster attack, he takes over as new leader of the evil forces, imprisoning Heckyl.
270** ''Worgworld'' reveals that [[spoiler: Sledge isn't dead. He steals the Dark Energem from Arcanon, destroying him and Singe, and with Snide siding with him, he takes control of the evil forces once again.]]
271* WhamLine:
272** From ''Roar of the Red Ranger'': "It's me. I'm [[spoiler: [[LukeIAmYourFather your dad.]]]]"
273** From ''Worgworld'': "Speaking of History, guess who's back."
274* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: James Davies constantly fluctuates between Kiwi and Aussie, made worse when the many genuine New Zealand characters show up and actually do it right.
275* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Apparently not much, since Sledge nonchalantly ''kills'' one just so it's out of Poisandra's way.
276* WhatsUpKingDude: Koda's relationship with Phillip in a nutshell, after the latter comes around.
277* WholeCostumeReference: Tyler's prince outfit is very identical to [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishRoyalFamily Prince William]]'s, a red tunic with golden buttons down the middle and a blue sash over the left shoulder.
278* WorfHadTheFlu: In "Wings of Danger", Wrench is forced to resurrect 11 different monsters. Each of these monsters had varying degrees of success fighting the rangers head-on, and facing several of them at once might seem too much. However, because he had to bring them back so fast, Wrench had to skim in some places (such as [[FakeShemp not restoring their voices]]), so that might make them weaker.
279* WritersCannotDoMath: Ivan is said to be a knight from around 800 years ago (the 1200s). He also claimed to be a friend of Creator/WilliamShakespeare, who lived in the late 1500s. Perhaps more of a history failure than a math class one, but it's still a difference of 300 years.
280* YouFightLikeACow: These are some of the quippiest Rangers since the [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Ninja Storm Rangers]].
281* YouHaveFailedMe: Sledge uses this on Fury after what happened with Ivan escaping and losing control of the Ptera Zord. His method? Having a monster steal his courage away, making him functionally useless. After said monster was destroyed and his spell on Fury was broken, Sledge had him mop the floors.
282* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Poisandra says, "You have got to be joking!" when she sees Sir Ivan leading a ridiculous group of civilians into battle in "Knight After Knights".
