Headscratchers / Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger

• How are the Zyurangers Fish out of Temporal Water? They only fit in about 'People from the past coming to the future'. But compared to the Flashmen, they seem to adapt to modern times way quicker. (The Flashmen even had to wonder what the hell a balloon is, while Dan even knows what the hell is a manga by the second episode.)
• According to the manuals, each of the Zyuranger's weapons have a special attack of sorts. Do the Zyurangers ever use them? What do they look like?
  • The Moth Breaker axe could turn into a blaster (probably the mode most frequently used), the Ryuguugekiken could fire beams (Ironically, Burai used this more then Geki did, and Burai only yielded the sword once), and of course the Zyusouken could also fire energy blast..
  • Dan can use his Triceralances separately as dual spears or a double polearm, but Dan never used them in the former mode outside of forming the Howling Cannon. Boi's Saber Daggers are mainly used for melee attacks and supposidely can be joined together by the pommels into a single double-sided weapon, but Boi never used the latter mode. As for Mei, her Ptera Bow can be treated as a melee weapon for close combat and it has the ability to summon infinite supplies of arrows, the special feature.
• Was it ever explained why the Zyurangers left to Earth to go to the Heavens at the end of the show? Are they dead in a way? Was it a reward for their actions? Or it something to do with the fact that since they are humans from million years ago and they simply weren't not meant to stay in the modern era long after winning their battle against Bandora? This to date has not been explained, but they have since returned to Earth on more than one occasion, if only temporary.
  • Then again, they didn't necessarily go to heaven. Geki shows up in the Kyoryuger / Go-Busters crossover and Goushi shows up in Gokaiger. He was walking the streets as if he's alive unlike Yuki Gai's return from Jetman, so maybe they had to go to another country for a while, maybe.
• Is there a reason why the Zyurangers don't just kill the bad guys instead of sealing them away, enabling them to wreak havoc once again if they're ever freed?
  • What havoc? Bandora doesn't have any of her powers, Totpat and Bookback are basically useless comedy relief, Pleprechaun maybe depends how much of his stuff he has on him/can scrounge up if he ever gets free and Lami and Grifforzer have a son so they're probably retired.
• If Barza and Gnome don't want to wake up Burai, why don't they just destroy the key to his crypt rather than leave it in a place where it can easily be found by Gnome's grandson?
  • Because they still need him to unlock Ultimate Daizyuzin. Besides it was only Bandora's interference that set it up so Ryota could unlock the door. Presumably if things went the heroes way they would of brought Burai out and kept him under control until he did his job.
• What is wrong with the world in Zyuranger'? The Rangers saved COUNTLESS LIVES from the wrath of Bandora and the freaking Devil! But when they return to Heaven the only ones who care to thank them for all they did were the kids?
  • Sometime before the final — one of Dora monsters and few Golems fake the Zyurangers (Episode 46) and cause havoc in their name before being exposed as fakes. The Zyurangers were also blamed for Burai's rampaging during his premier arc, leading angry civillians to try and stone them in retaliation. This MIGHT be the reason adults don't seem to particularly like the Zyurangers.
  • Episode 46, where they lost the trust of the people because of the fakes was also the same episode where they regained it back. Maybe the kids that thanked them were the kids that the Zyurangers saved throughout the show, including the last kid they saved in the finale.
• In the endgame arc we see that Bandora captures all of the Guardian Beasts and seals them in her magic realm. Why didn't she just kill them off then and now so she can get a guaranteed victory against the Zyuranger?
