Trivia for this Episode
Footage mostly adapted from Zyuranger episode 01 for the introduction of Giant, and from episode 02 for the Rangers vs. Bones and Giant vs. Tyrannosaurus Dinozord, as the Megazord wasn't introduced until Zyuranger's sixth episode. Other parts of Zyuranger episode 02 would be later used during the "Island of Illusion" 2-parter.
