3	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At the end of Chapter 15, Rika dances to [=DrunkenMunky's=] "E", with several Grinam soldiers also dancing in the background and the former holding glowing rave sticks. The story itself references the trope name as it occurs, and it's never brought up in any of the other chapters again.
4	* CrossoverShip: In ''Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers II'', there's [[Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger Nanami]][=/=][[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Tori]], with an actual explanation as to how they became lovers.
5	* GeniusBonus: Plenty of them in ''Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers II''. One of the most prominent examples is, upon seeing that the river in ''Power Rangers Sword Dynasty'' is the River Styx, and the mooks are Styxians, Rika calls the boat the villains are on the Acheron. The Acheron is one of the rivers in Greek mythology where Charon would ferry the dead.
6	* HarsherInHindsight: Every single moment of Rika growing upset over Cole's characterization, including how the shipping between him and Sakura was handled, plus the potshot over why he was chosen as Aka Red [[spoiler:with Sean's ascension]], has become this with the news that Cole's actor, Rick Medina, stabbed his roommate with a sword and killed him.
7	** In Part 28, Rika notices the absence of Mentor Ji and asks if he doesn't care about his students while the villains attack the Samurai Rangers. Years later in 2017, his actor Rene Naufahu was convinced of indecent assault.
8	** In ''Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers II'', Sean loses an arm during his battle with Conquest, only for him to gain a cybernetic arm as a replacement when he was restored to full strength. [[spoiler:He won't be the only Ranger who loses an arm: in ''Power Rangers Cosmic Fury'', Javi loses an arm after it was disintegrated by lightning in the first episode, and he also gained a cybernetic arm to replace it.]]
9	** ''Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers III'' ends with Rika sacrificing her life to stop Neo-Kiros, using her entire life energy for her Thousand Arrows attack, but then she is revived as a Lich and ascends as the Champion of Canon, protecting all the universes and timelines. [[spoiler:''Power Rangers Cosmic Fury'' sees Zayto sacrificing himself by using the last of the magic given by the Morphin' Masters, then gets revived as a Morphin' Master himself and, like Rika, gets ascended to protect the worlds and timelines.]]
10	* HilariousInHindsight: In the beginning of the arc starting with the ''Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Power Rangers Samurai'' blog, Sean was chosen not just because he's one of Rika's favorite actors, but she wanted to have him take part in something ''Gokaiger''-related, especially with Jason and Alex having their own tributes later on in ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce''. [[http://www.rangercrew.com/forum/showthread.php?26517-Power-Rangers-Super-Megaforce-Pre-Discussion&p=1099419&viewfull=1#post1099419 Literally a few weeks after the liveblog was over]] came the announcement of him showing up in ''Super Megaforce''.
11	** The morpher Sean uses to morph into the Ultimate Red Legendary Ranger is called the "Ultimate Red Legendary Morpher". Come ''Super Megaforce'', the Rangers' morphers are also called the "Legendary Morphers", just lopping off the color and "Ultimate" parts. Both serve the same purpose: the ability to transform into past Rangers.
12	** This is also not the last time the words "Ultimate Legendary" is used; in the actual ''Rangers'' canon, one Megazord formation is called the "Ultimate Legendary Megazord".
13	** A RunningGag throughout the fanfic is, if a Power Ranger speaks Japanese, Rika flips out and asks why they have to speak it. Several years later, an actual Power Ranger actor, [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Yoshi Sudarso]], would cameo in a Sentai series, ''{{Series/Shuriken Sentai Ninninger}}'', and there, he speaks English.
14	** In order to defeat Neo-Kiros, Rika uses the Thousand Arrows attack, which not only rains those arrows onto her enemies, but it also serves as her EleventhHourSuperpower. Come ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', one of Zygarde's exclusive attacks also rains arrows at enemies. Its name? "Thousand Arrows". [[spoiler:The only difference is that the story's usage would have taken Rika's life, had Conquest not enchanted her morpher. Zygarde's version does not.]]
15	* MoralEventHorizon: Radiguet crosses it by revealing his true plans for the captured Scouts. He planned to have them absorb the elemental stones, ensuring that his monsters would be reborn, and force them to fight against their friends while their own souls are trapped in said stones. So that way, he would wipe out his enemies and drive Rika into despair. He even ''gloats'' about the Scouts' [[OnlyMostlyDead supposed]] deaths to the All-Stars.
