* [[Airplane Arms]]
Line 118:
** TsueTsue's "[[Make My Monster Grow|Oni in, luck out!]]".<ref> "Oni wa uchi, fuku wa soto!" This one is a pun on a traditional Japanese saying which is recited during New Year's time to attract good fortune, which is the exact reverse of Tsutsue's quote: "Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi!" (Oni out, luck in!)</ref>
* [[Chromatic Arrangement]]: The three High Dukes have colors corresponding to the RGB scheme: Shuten is red, Ura is green, and Rasetsu is blue.

** ''Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai'', while including plenty of new action scenes, doubles as a clip show for the entire franchise, as the veteran rangers tell the Gaorangers about Super Sentai history.
