* TakeThat: Bajillia's ultimate goal of [[spoiler:using the Master Captivator to combine the energies of the Morphin' Masters with the corrupted evil of Lord Zedd, to create a reverse Z-Wave that would wipe all good from the universe, allowing her to make money in the eternal warfare this would cause]] is an obvious jab at real life [[CorruptCorporateExecutive executives of this type]], who've drawn increasing ire from people in the last few years.

* WeaponSpecialization: In contrast to ''Dino Fury'', where everyone except Aiyon wielded swords, each Ranger gets a unique weapon this season. Amelia has a hammer, Zayto has a MagicStaff, Ollie has a blaster, Javi has an axe, Izzy has daggers, Aiyon has an arm-mounted [[SwissArmyWeapon ray gun/saw hybrid]], and [[spoiler:Fern]] has a trident.



* EvolvingCredits: The opening has different alterations after Episode 1. This includes [[spoiler: Switching the Dino Fury suits to the Cosmic Fury ones, Amelia and Zayto trading places, Amelia being the Red Cosmic Fury Ranger, Zayto being the Zenith Ranger, Javi having a prosthetic arm, and Fern being the Orange Cosmic Fury Ranger. The last change is Ollie, after spending the first nine episodes sporting a stoic expression (which signified his corruption), smiling again in the finale, signifying his return to good in the previous episode.]]

* SingleBiomePlanet: Erridus is one giant desert, Akraal is a [[BBCQuarry massive mining quarry]], and Eltar is a CityPlanet, though we don't see much of it beyond Zedd's fortress. Downplayed with Levvina because there is ''a'' city, but the rest of the world is covered by a [[GeniusLoci sentient forest]].

* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Evil Ollie]] gets a lot of these types of moments, though the standout is in episode three. [[spoiler:He gives his mother a HopeSpot that she's freed him from the mind control, then drops the act, tells her that she's sealed his friends' fates, and [[FauxAffablyEvil sweetly says that he loves her]], leaving her alone in a city on fire.]]



* LogicalWeakness: Dinohenge is the source of the Dino Fury Rangers' power. So when Zedd destroys the statues, the Dino Fury powers go with them. [[spoiler:Likewise, Ollie's mind control is described as a poisoned version of his link to the Grid via Dinohenge. Once he loses the Dino Fury Blue powers, he becomes his old self again.]]

* PetTheDog: Zedd is particularly calm with [[spoiler:Ollie]], offering him advice and mentoring him in an evil way. He rarely raises his voice with him, and even keeps a neutral yet touché-like attitude when [[spoiler:Ollie uses his own teachings against him to save the universe]].

* TheWorfEffect: While the current team is in space, Zedd launches a massive invasion of Earth. According to the news reports we see from Jane and J-Borg, every single other Ranger on the planet has been captured and jailed.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Zayto ends up AscendingToAHigherPlaneOfExistence at the end of the season as a Morphin Master, but unfortunately this means he can never see his friends again. Still, Zayto saved them all from certain destruction, and from there, the team saved the universe, strengthened their bonds, and even gave Lord Zedd a chance to redeem himself. And if any indication can be gained with Billy learning Zordon is possibly alive in the finale (reigniting the hope he lost from the incident he had in ''[[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersOnceAndAlways Once & Always]]''), the Cosmic Fury Rangers will soon find themselves on another adventure together]].

** Billy, in full TechnoBabble mode, calls the Morphin' Grid "[[Series/PowerRangersRPM the bio-field]]".
** Billy dips out of the action towards the season's endgame so he can help his team save [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Reefside]].



* GeniusLoci: One of the planets the Rangers visit, Levvina, is one giant hive mind that connects all of the planet's botanical life. To Aiyon's surprise, it can also speak.

Nobody will win, and the entire universe will be plunged into chaos. Ollie even goes so far as to invoke the lesson that Zedd taught him while brainwashed, about how there is "no peace for the strongest, only survival", and that him having all the power in the world means nothing if he's dead. Zedd only finally relents near the end when the container is nearly broken.]]
