** "Caught Red-Handed": An ordinary camping trip, and fighting one of the Galactic Ninjas takes on a much more grave dimension when Madame Odious reveals her secret plan: Use the Galactic Ninja Medallions to create her own Zord. A Zord powerful enough to defeat all the rangers, and damage their Zord magic. The Ninja Medallions run out of power before Odious can finish the job, but with no effective counters at this moment, the rangers are left on the defensive, trying to figure out how to beat this latest threat.

* SeriesContinuityError: Assuming this is the same continuity as all previous installments, the heroes should really know more about Power Rangers than they do. The ''aliens'' seem to know what they're dealing with, but the Earth teens are clueless. It's not the first time something like this has happened ([[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm the last ninja show]] caused a stir when Rangers were dismissed as an urban legend), but it's a bit weird when Hayley has to piece together the word "'mega'... zord?" out of BuffySpeak. Even weirder as other times they have hints that they ''do'' know some things, like Hayley having no problem accepting alien monsters exist in the second, and even asks for clarification on the ''type'' of monster, which only really makes sense in that context.

* CluelessAesop: Some of the {{Stock Aesop}}s told in this series are handled a bit clumsily. For example, the episode ''Moment of Truth'' tells the classic Aesop of "Always tell the truth". In this episode, Victor buys a pair of extravagant looking sunglasses, thinking they are cool enough to attract girls to him. After the rangers defeat a monster that gets stronger when hearing lies by learning the Aesop, Calvin bluntly tells Victor the sunglasses look stupid, to the point of coming over as slightly insulting. The show treats this as a good thing, making it seem Calvin successfully learned the Aesop, turning the overall message into "Insulting people for having a different taste is the right thing to do, as you are telling them the truth."

* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Rangers are often portrayed as wrong whenever they have a different opinion than the rest of the team. A few examples are:
** In the episode ''Grave Robber'' Levi is being treated being in the wrong for refusing to play a board game with the others, as he doesn't like them.
** In the episode ''Car Trouble'' Calvin is offered his dream job as a mechanic, but has to quit school to do so. Instead of being genuinely happy for him, the rest of the rangers worry more about him leaving school. The episode then goes out of its way to teach him quitting school for his dream job is wrong.

* NoOntologicalInertia: As is typical for ''Power Rangers'', destroying a monster usually undoes any effects the monster causes to its victims. Though this is averted in "Fan Frenzy"; Victor remains a werewolf even after Dreadwolf (who turned him into that by hitting him with a claw) is destroyed, with Victor only returning to normal after the claw is removed.

** Tynamon's human sized body is not his body, but rather a robotic suit with the real Tynamon being a small creature operating it, brings to mind Zurgane (of ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm'')'s sentai counterpart, who was an ant-like creature controlling a human-sized robot body (while an action figure of Zurgane suggested he was the same, it was never brought up in the show itself).
