    Episode 1: Don't Let Them! The Twisted Invaders 
  • The whole freaking debut fight involving the Megarangers, with the heroes cutting a swath through the Kunekune Soldiers before Kenta himself blows through Yugande (after the latter kicked his butt around a little).
    Episode 5: Finish It! This Is An Underhanded Battle 
  • Dr. Kubota is replaced with a new scientist, Dr. Tokoyama, who believes an AI would be better at utilizing Galaxy Mega than five high schoolers. Unshockingly, the AI isn't up to snuff and can't change tactics against the Mega Saber-resitant Shrimp Nezire. Tokoyama, jerk that he is, immediately abandons Galaxy Mega, not caring about what will happen to the staff. So Dr. Kubota himself bravely rushes to the cockpit to turn off the program, having faith the Megarangers would come back to pilot their mecha... and they do. Cue the tables turning on Shrimp Nezire.
    Episode 8: I Can't Lose! Turnabout Teamwork 
  • Kouichirou returning to the fight , after he was gravely wounded by Yugande earlier that episode. All to tell Kenta that no matter how many mistakes he makes, Kenta is still his friend. They then proceed to form Galaxy Mega, and kick the mobile commander's ass. The whole Galaxy Mega vs. Yugande fight is a whole treat in itself, especially its conclusion: Galaxy Mega hitting Yugande with the Mega Flying Cutter, and Yugande agonizingly sparking with electricity before literally exploding into a million tiny pieces! He gets better next episode, but good grief, he literally combusted into tiny little particles of dust!
    Episode 9: Exposed! The Demon-Filled CD 
  • One for side character Saeko: When Galaxy Mega is in danger of self-destructing from Bat Nezire's soundwaves, she gets the driver of a van with a speaker to convert an opposing frequency to cancel out the sound that Bat Nezire is producing. Through the van's speakerphone, she gives the team the opening to destroy Bat Nezire's speakers and turn the tide!
    Episode 15: See Through It! The Mecha Of Genius High 
    Episode 16: Very Bad! Will We Die? 
  • Poison Moth Nezire spreads poison over numerous people, along with the Megarangers. They all have 24 hours to live until they die. Kenta, Shun and Miku decide to spend their last hours having fun, but they all eventually realize they should live for tomorrow, and rejoin Kouichirou and Chisato, who have been trying their best to find a cure. When Poison Moth Nezire returns, they're able to literally get a piece of him (a part of his antennae) to look for an antidote. But as the fight continues, the poison begins to take effect, and the Megarangers begin growing weaker and weaker until they lose their suits. Despite that, the five keep fighting, even if in their deteriorating state, they are outmatched by the sadistic moth monster. Once they get the antidote (by way of a Big Damn Heroes moment of Kubota and several INET doctors ramming Poison Moth Nezire with the Digitank before giving the Megarangers the cure), they proceed to make Poison Moth Nezire pay, even tearing off his top wings with the Galaxy Mega! But Poison Moth Nezire points out if they kill him, his poison will contaminate the whole city. Cue Galaxy Mega carrying the Nezire into space and finishing him there with the Booster Rifle. As Mega Red tells him right before pulling him to space...
    Mega Red: We're serious today! Don't mess with us!
    Episode 17: Too Cool! The Awesome Super Miku 
  • After being hit by a blast from Bibidebi's Growth Gun by mistake, Miku becomes a highly intelligent and extremely powerful young lady, becoming a self-dubbed Super Miku. She kicks Toad Nezire's ass, while using the weapons of her teammates to give the creature a taste of every Megaranger power there is.
  • During the kaiju fight, she comes up with the idea to have Galaxy Mega use its Mega Saber to conjure a snake from its Electromagnetic Whip mode, since toads are afraid of snakes. This doubles as a funny moment, but it's amazing genius on Miku's part, as she succeeds in terrifying Toad Nezire with the Electromagnetic Snake, leaving him open to be finished off by the Mega Flying Cutter. Even more badass? Miku came up with this when she was normal Miku, not Super Miku. She's pretty clever for a girl who sometimes accels at unintentionally causing a lot of trouble (as the previous shenanigans in that same episode pointed out)!
    Episode 19: Drive It In! The Invincible Deadly Punch 
  • The unveiling of Kenta's newest weapon, the Battle Riser. And what better way to test it on an asshole who uses children as human shields? Kenta/Mega Red makes a point to Guirail that you never hurt a child in his vicinity. Otherwise... "RISER PUNCH!"
  • Mega Red using lightning-fast reflexes with his controls to ensure Galaxy Mega isn't hit once by the gigantified Scorpion Nezire. Not one attack is landed by the monster before Galaxy Mega finishes him off by a Mega Dash Cutter.
    Episode 20: Counting On You! The New Robo: Delta Mega 
  • The Megarangers had been hopelessly outmatched by Crocodile Nezire, which has split into two and has double-teamed the mecha. But they last all the while, taking a tremendous beating that seems like it'd destroy Galaxy Mega after only a few minutes of the beating it took.
  • Kenta's Big Damn Heroes moment, arriving with the brand-spanking-new Delta Mega to save his friends and Galaxy Mega. A battle that seemed hopeless turns around in an instant, as Delta Mega proceeds to gun down the twin Nezire Beasts with ease. The two robots then finish the battle in a matter of seconds.
    • And prior to that, Shougo has a brave moment where he begs his father, Dr. Kawasaki, not to give up the Delta Mega program to Guirail just for his safety. When it's clear that his father might just hand over the program, Shougo kicks Guirail and escapes the Kunekune holding him hostage. He nearly gets killed by Guirail in response (Mega Red saves him in the nick of time), but damned if that isn't brave of a normal guy like him.
    Episode 21: Now's The Time! The Life-Threatening Super-Fusion 
  • Delta Mega was being controlled by Guirail, and the Megarangers were extremely reluctant to destroy the auxiliary mecha. So Shougo proposed a different, much more risky, idea: merge Galaxy Mega and Delta Mega together to form Super Galaxy Mega. Despite Kubota's hesitance to do so, everyone on Galaxy Mega wants to risk doing the Super Electronic Combination, even though Galaxy Mega could fall under the Nezirejia's control as well, jeopardizing everyone aboard the ship/mecha. So they try it, very much aware that it could spell disaster if it fails. It works. Then Super Galaxy Mega is formed to take on the Centipede Nezire and his illusions. After coming out on top against the "Zombie Nezires", Super Galaxy Mega destroys Centipede Nezire with a twin Rocket Punch that blows the monster sky-high. And the best part? This wasn't just a Megaranger victory... it was a victory accomplished by the entirety of INET. Many brave men and women risking all kinds of possible destruction to save their planet. That is a team effort.
    Episode 22: Escape! Labyrinth Of Evil 
  • An improvised moment where Shun and Miku are being transported across the Earth by Antlion Nezire and his portals. One portal transports them into a mall, where they lose the world-distorting crystal Miku stole from him in a pile of other crystals. Shun steals an identically-colored crystal, so that when Antlion Nezire catches him, he gives him the fake.
  • Shun was split up from Miku and unable to henshin due to them losing signal with INET, so Shun took a very ball-sy risk giving the very perceptive Antlion Nezire the fake. In fact, Antlion Nezire throws Shun off a building in a rage... but it turns out that Antlion Nezire threw him into a portal without meaning to! This gives him the opportunity to get a bike from wherever he teleported, and ride back to the place Miku was transported to, just in time to save her from being killed by several Kunekune Soldiers. They get back just in time to destroy Antlion Nezire's crystal, preventing a worldwide disaster!
  • Shun and Miku proceed to pay Antlion Nezire back, in interest, once they manage to morph again. Once they're back to being Mega Blue and Mega Pink, Shun and Miku are dedicating every punch to making Antlion Nezire pay for putting them through a world of hurt. From gunning him down with their combined Mega Snipers to finishing him off in the mecha/kaiju fight with the Super Galaxy Knuckle, it's quite fun to see them go off so much!
    Episode 23: Why! My Egg Is A Nezire Beast 
  • The climax fight. After Komutan is killed by his own brother, Kenta proceeds to Riser Chop/Riser Punch the hell out of Anglerfish Nezire in honor of his fallen friend, who gave his life to protect him.
    Episode 24: Running Solo! A Silvery New Face 
  • Yugande gets a villainous awesome moment when he proves he's more than just a fighter. He develops a special jewel that can record the powers of the Megarangers, and places it in a robotic duplicate of his Buffalo Nezire. The replica does its job and records all the powers, and after its destruction, Yugande recovers it and places it in the real Buffalo Nezire. Then it's revealed that the jewel is actually a shield generator; it reflects any and all attacks from the Megarangers' weaponry, no-selling even the Drill Sniper Custom and the Multi-Attack Rifle. As a result, Yugande proves his intelligence by making Buffalo Nezire an unstoppable juggernaut. It ultimately gets to the point that it seems the Megarangers are done for.
    • Then comes the good guy awesome moment. How do the heroes win against a monster who is protected from their attacks? Enter Yuusaku Hayakawa, a.k.a. Mega Silver. A Megaranger that was never recorded by the jewel proves to be Buffalo Nezire's bane, as he literally takes the Buffalo Nezire by the horns and chops them off. Buffalo Nezire is then swiss-cheesed by laser fire before being slashed open by the Silver Blazer, all in the span of 2 and a half minutes. What a display.
    Episode 25: Just In Time! Time Limit: 2. 5 Minutes 
  • Mega Silver strikes again where he stops Bibidebi in his Make My Monster Grow duties. Right after Moray Nezire's clone is enlarged, the little annoying bugger goes after the real Moray Nezire. Mega Silver responds by blasting both of them in the face, causing Bibidebi to retreat! No two-fers this episode, giving the Megarangers a clean fight against the clone with Super Galaxy Mega. And like before, Mega Silver finishes the battle in 2 and a half minutes, finishing off Moray Nezire at the same time that Super Galaxy Mega blows a hole in the clone's gut.
    Episode 26: Really? The End Of Nezirejia 
  • Yuusaku comes off towards Kouichirou as still fooling around when they're left unable to henshin and are trying to hide, but are stuck with Dr. Namba's wife and her crying baby, Miho. Yuusaku doesn't seem to take the bad situation very seriously as he casually crafts a paper fan. But when Kouichirou gets on his case, Yuusaku shows that this time, there's a purpose for his seeming non-seriousness. Showing Miho the spinning fan gets her to calm down, averting what could've been a terrible casualty if the Kunekune Soldiers found them, which no doubt would've resulted in a horrible pair of casualties. It gives them the opportunity to leave them safe and silent in their hiding spot while they fight their way through the Kunekunes.
  • What about when, despite being confronted by Cicada Nezire, not able to transform, and yet Kouichirou and Yuusaku kick him out the window anyways, causing him to be knocked into the building-wide shield he had erected over the building?! Cicada Nezire ends up being electrocuted by the thing he tried to keep these two in the building with, and he causes the shield itself to go down, allowing INET to stop the city-wide soundwaves that were threatening to make a lot of people's heads explode.
    Episode 27: Kick Them About! The Demonic Coral Of Death 
  • A little boy named Daichi is given this. Daichi is afraid of swimming, and his fear cements when his sister is dragged underwater by a terrifying Coral Nezire. When the other Megarangers have been infected and captured by Coral Nezire, Shun ends up alone with Daichi, who decides to confide in Shun as to what happened to his sister, blaming himself for not having courage when his sister needed him to be brave the most. Shun, however, decides to re-bolster his confidence, telling him that he shouldn't self-deprecate himself for what happened to his sister, and he's sure that deep down inside of Daichi's fear-stricken soul, there's some courage deep inside. So not long after, when Shun is in danger from being dragged underwater by a bunch of Kunekune Soldiers (he lost his Digitizer beforehand), Daichi manages to get the device, and despite not knowing how to swim, jumps in the water. And he swims as far as he can before going under before tosses the Digitizer to Shun; in a one-in-a-million throw, it reaches Shun's hand, and Shun manages to henshin, grab Daichi, and jump out, blowing Kunekunes all over the place! This little boy saved a Megaranger at the risk of drowning.
  • While the Megarangers take it to Coral Nezire, Yugande is stopped from interfering in the fight by none other than Mega Silver, who takes on the mobile commander single-handedly. Then Yugande seems to get the upper hand as he knocks Mega Silver to the ground, mocking him about subverting all of his expectations on how powerful he was. Mega Silver, however, tells Yugande that he was waiting for Yugande to knock him down. Cue his Auto Silder ramming Yugande into the ocean! What a ploy!
    Episode 28: Give Up! The Explosive Granny Whirlwind 
    Episode 29: I Want To Lose Weight! Miku's Dubious Diet 
  • Despite being mostly full of laughs, Miku gets a wonderful one when she comes to wallop Pig Nezire for affecting her with his Diet Crepe. She asks for Kenta's Battle Riser. Now this is an odd request, as the Battle Riser was assigned only to Mega Red, but he decides to let Mega Pink have the liberty of trying it out. She adapts quickly to the strike-enhancing gadget, barraging Pig Nezire with rapid-fire Riser Chops before throwing his fat butt across the park.
  • Yuusaku also gets a mixed awesome/funny moment by luring Pig Nezire in with his cooking skills, treating the creature to his own cuisine. It gives Mega Pink the opening to finish Pig Nezire off with a Riser Punch.
    Episode 30: Full Throttle! The Friendship Combination 
  • Kenta and Shun showing how far they've come as teammates... as demonstrated during a basketball match. A lot of acrobatics and jumping off of other players' shoulders results in a glorious slam dunk. Then Dr. Ooiwa tells them that they went against the rules.
  • Suffering from Identity Amnesia after defending Kenta from Giga Guirail, Shun decides to willingly come to the site where Giga Guirail is holding the other Megarangers hostage. Watching as Giga Guirail pummels Mega Red (who came befpre him), Shun decides to henshin, trying to see if he can remember more by doing so. His morph catches Giga Guirail's attention, and the amnesiac Mega Blue ends up getting cut up by the evil fusion. But just as Guirail is about to either freeze him or kill him, Mega Red decides to do the same thing Mega Blue did earlier that episode: he takes a blast meant for Shun, and that causes Shun to remember who he is at long last. Then comes back that team-up goodness from earlier, as Mega Blue peppers Giga Guirail with laser blasts before Mega Red uses the Drill Saber and Mega Tomahawk to cut so deeply into Giga Guirail that he defuses with Yugande!
  • The kaiju fight gets us to see Super Galaxy Mega at its full potential, and is easily its best fight. Despite being top-heavy with its shoulder-mounted Gatling Blasters, it still manages to show an acceptable deal of mobility as it tanks Giga Guirail's swords, then respond in kind by barraging Giga Guirail with a series of punches in quick succession before hitting him with an incredible left hook. The fusion never stood a chance.
    Episode 31: Stop It! Out Of Control Guirail 
  • For those who hate Guirail (and let's be honest, there's no reason to not hate him), even Dr. Hinelar gets one when he hands Guirail a Super Serum that increases his power... but then, Guirail experiences an overload of power, and his body starts to emit disgusting volumes of ooze, which he knows isn't good at all. He retreats and calls out Hinelar in what he just consumed, and Hinelar explains that, yes, it's exactly as he planned to punish him for his cowardly tactics and endangering Yugande. As both Hinelar and Shibolena put it, Guirail always said "Do whatever it takes to defeat the Megarangers", and that's what Hinelar delivered. Of course, the awesome moment is only for the baddies, since the Megarangers don't get anywhere with the result of Guirail's sudden, out-of-control mutation...
    Episode 32: Is It The End? Desparate Situation, Galaxy Mega 
  • Shougo, Kubota, and the whole of INET get another awesome moment when Mad Guirail and Gigire are thrashing Super Galaxy Mega. In response to hearing from Yuusaku that the Space Mega Project is finished, they decide to Hold the Line for the Megarangers. While the Megarangers take Delta Mega to INET's base on the Moon, Shougo decides to pilot Galaxy Mega — while still wounded after Guirail shot him with a blast last episode — and keep him off of the Megarangers while they retrieve the Voyager Machines. While the Megarangers are on their task, being chased by the feral Gigire, INET is waging a hopeless battle, hoping that the Megarangers will come back to save them. And wouldn't you know it? As always, they do.
  • Mega Voyager. The robot itself is a heaping helping of all sorts of awesome in that, where Super Galaxy Mega was unable to do much, it proves to be as much a Lightning Bruiser as Guirail at the maximum of his strength. In its following debut fights, not only does its seperate components destroy Gigire with ease, but Mega Voyager itself proceeds to wallop Mad Guirail so hard he flops around on the ground after being hit! The only time Guirail gets an opening, it doesn't benefit the crazed monster at all, as when he finally yanks Mega Voyager off its feet with his chains, Mega Voyager just socks him in the face again! It culminates with the finisher: Rocket Voyager-3 being fired as a missile right into Guirail's chest! This time, Guirail doesn't get back up.
    Episode 33: Giddy! The Girlfriend From The Moon 
  • Kenta is given the ability to synchronize the power of both his Battle Riser and his Drill Sniper Custom, all thanks to a brand new program from his newest crush, Megumi. This power is enough to completely vaporize Lion Nezilar, the first Psycho-Nezilar Monster of the Week with little trouble, and without detonating any of his bombs! Granted, Bibidebi still manages to enlarge Lion Nezilar (by sucking all the ash into his mouth and breathing it out as a mist that reconstitutes Lion Nezilar), but the point that he was able to totally disintegrate what was meant to be an upgrade for the villains from normal Nezire Beasts. Kenta's come a long way.
    Episode 34: I'll Show You! Big Bro's Miracle Shoot 
    Episode 35: Overcome! Mega Silver's Greatest Crisis 
  • Yuusaku seemingly acting like he's not doing his best as Mega Silver when he gets toyed with by Mantis Nezilar (Kenta and Miku believe he's actually going to die). But in truth, he is having his suit modified so that he can remove the time limit placed on his suit (though this comes at the cost of a drop of his own power). The reason he seems to be doing so poorly in his first fight with Mantis Nezilar is because at the time, his suit wasn't fully modified, so he couldn't go all out. And the second fight with the Psycho-Nezilar is obvious, due to his decrease in power. Now that his Mega Suit can be sustained with no time limit, however, he manages to foil Mantis Nezilar's plan to kill him by restraining him with bombs, which would explode when his time limit to the suit is supposed to end. Safe to say, Mantis Nezilar is smart in that he tries to capitalize on Mega Silver's weakness, but he discovers it far too late. So when Mantis Nezilar seemingly succeeds in his plan, he is caught off-guard when a very alive and very angry Mega Silver — with no time limit to his suit at all — zooms out of nowhere on his Auto Slider, slamming the nose of his craft right into him! For bonus points, he breaks Mantis Nezilar's compound eyes, which was allowing the Nezirejian cyborg to dodge everyone's attacks earlier. So this leaves him defenseless when Mega Silver is joined by Mega Red and Mega Pink to strike him down.
    Episode 36: Fly! The Universe's Dancing Wings Of Hope 
  • When Condor Nezilar captures Yuusaku (who has been relieved of his Keitaizer for being an unauthorized Megaranger), the Megarangers decide to abide by Condor Nezilar's ultimatum, bringing the Mega Voyager to the monster so that Yuusaku can be freed.
  • It's a trap, however. Condor Nezilar traps Mega Voyager with a bunch of chains, and has Bibidebi bite him. Condor Nezilar grows, and tells the Megarangers that they can't resist, otherwise, he'll kill Mega Silver. So what do the Megarangers do? They trigger Mega Voyager's self-destruct mechanism, telling Condor Nezilar that if he moves, they'll give their lives to kill him. However, it's just a trick: Mega Voyager doesn't have a self-destruct mechanism, which pisses Condor Nezilar off when he realizes that he was played.
  • Leaving Miku to keep Condor Nezilar still, the other four Megarangers are about to fail in saving Yuusaku, who is about to be killed by Shibolena because he noted her easily visible panties. Then here comes Dr. Kubota in the Digitank, blasting Shibolena off her feet, and leaping out of the vehicle to give Yuusaku his Keitaizer! In an earlier episode, Kubota may have frowned upon the idea of giving Yuusaku back his Transformation Trinket. But the fact that he once again defies orders, this time to save Yuusaku, shows that he has grown to accept him as the Sixth Ranger of his Megaranger team. He even tells Mega Silver that he'll bear full responsibility for whatever Kijima has to say about his (and Mega Silver's) actions.
  • Yugande can't beat Mega Silver for the life of him. Despite not being as strong as before, the Sixth Ranger and his Silver Blazer once again succeed in tearing Yugande a new one. Luring Yugande into a very similar position where he seems vulnerable (Remember Episode 27?), Mega Silver switches his Swiss-Army Weapon to Gun Mode to shoot Yugande in the face, before cutting into him with the Sword Mode!
  • Enter the Mega Winger. While the Mega Voyager is having trouble getting Condor Nezilar to stay still for the Voyager Spartan, in flies Mega Silver with a mecha-sized fighter that shoots Condor Nezilar out of the sky before morphing into a giant robot! Condor Nezilar is surprised, but unimpressed enough to fire a deadly laser barrage... which the Mega Winger calmly deflects before unveiling its Winger Cannon, blasting the metallic feathers off the big bird!
  • Condor Nezilar still flies after that, but the Megarangers still go after him. How? The Mega Winger lends a wing-like attachment to give the Mega Voyager the ability to fly! With this, the Megarangers defeat the Psycho-Nezilar in his own element, and hit him with a well-placed, airborne Voyager Spartan that sends pieces of him flying everywhere! Cooked Condor Nezilar, anyone?
    Episode 41: Snapped! The Blue Terror, Nezi Blue 
  • A huge MOA for Shun: He figured out a VERY effective plan to battle the Nezirangers. The plan? Everyone goes using a blue suit.
  • At one point, when the Nezirangers are at the point of seriously threatening the Megarangers, Nezi Silver shows up and throws some confusion into the mix. It's actually just Yuusaku. Why is this an MOA? Nezi Silver is an in-universe costume. That's right - he put himself in considerable danger to trick the Nezirangers for a few moments.
