Mythology Gag / Power Rangers Dino Charge

• Doesn't Wrench sound a lot like Baboo? You can thank his voice actor for that, as it was a conscious decision on his part.
• This is also isn't the first time a T-Rex zord was summoned from a volcano.
• Tyler using "It's about to get wild!" as a Pre-Asskicking One-Liner, just like his own counterpart Daigo.
  • Likewise, in "A Fool's Hour" Wrench wipes his Ocular Gushers while proclaiming "That stings!", which was the Catchphrase of his Kyoryuger counterpart, Aigallon.
  • And in "Double Ranger Double Danger" Fury calls a megazord-sized copy of himself "Infuriating!", borrowing the Catchphrase of his Japanese counterpart, Dogold.
  • And, in "A Date with Danger", Chase gets to utter his counterpart's "Oh my!" after being shocked on a Van de Graaff generator in the base. For the second time.
• At the start of "A Fool's Hour", Chase is singing a song to the tune of Kyoryuger's opening theme; Koda can be heard humming it in the last scene as well.
• Sledge has a little problem with his left shoulder, just like Chaos (or maybe not as bad).
• In episode 4, "Return of the Caveman", a Saber-Toothed Tiger^note saber-toothed cats are not closely related to any living cat species attacks Koda's brother. Trini and Aisha (and Boi, if you want to include Sentai) would've been disappointed.
• Curio's name is just two syllables away from his Sentai counterpart's name, Luckyuro.
• The first Monster of the Week is named Ice Age, which is what his sentai counterpart's name translates to.
• In this season, the rangers work in a fast food restaurant, they have a megazord that is comprised of 3 Zords with red as a major component, and the megazord is controlled via motion capture. Not a first time in Power Rangers history.
• Also, Sentai fans have seen a team of dino rangers working for a dinosaur-themed restaurant before. Of course, PR fans have as well in "Lost and Found in Translation," the episode where the Dino Thunder team got to watch an Abaranger episode (as an episode of a show based on their exploits).
• In episode 5, after destroying the monster, Tyler said "We're the invincible ones!". The very first line of Kyoryuger's theme song is almost exactly that ("We are the invincible superstars!").
• With a subtle tweak, the coordinates produced by the Energem tracker built by Kendall and Shelby in episode 7 can be made to correspond to the actual location of Saban Brands HQ.
• In "When Logic Fails", Riley is sneaking around in an air duct and looks down through a vent to see Fury lying in a medical chair powering the Ptera Charger; in a scene reminiscent of Mighty Morphin''s "White Light" where Billy saw the White Ranger being prepared from the same angle. Even moreso in hindsight, when we learn just how Fury can power the Ptera Charger. Yes, we are again watching The Smart Guy looking at the Sixth Ranger through a vent.
• The way Fury says "After 800 years" in episode 11 is really reminiscent of Rita's first words in the opening.
• Another reference to Kyoryuger is with the kingdom of Zandar, which shares its name with Zandar Thunder, the name of Ivan's sentai counterpart's weapon. Also a Pragmatic Adaptation, as the giant "ZANDAR THUNDER" that shoots out of the sword for his Finishing Move was left unedited (it's just not as clearly visible as in Kyoryuger).
• Heckyl is kept in a heavily reinforced cell with a large X on it, referencing the X-Vault from Power Rangers Time Force.
• In "Forged Under Fire", Singe calls Tyler a "walking carnival" while he's in T-Rex Super Charge Mode. A reference to the mode's Kyoryuger name "Kyoryu Carnival".
  • Also, after beating down a ton of mooks easily with the Tri-Ankylo Supercharge Mode, Tyler calls it "Morphinomenal!"
• The planet the Dark Energem was hidden on was named Sentai 6. Funnily enough, the 6th Sentai season, Goggle V, also had the rangers using gemstones as a power source.
• Ivan comes across his Identical Grandson (plus about 5 -greats) Zack, which comes from the premise of Kyoryuger 100 Years After.
• The first thing Arcanon does when he gains the power of the Dark Energem is "Bring down the fires of chaos", Chaos being his Japanese counterpart's name.
• As another reference to the source material, Badussa offhandedly mentions destroying the "Kyoryuger Galaxy".
