Trivia

 * First appearance of Master Vile, Rita and Rito's father, who would remain on the show until "Alien Rangers of Aquitar, Part 2"
 * First time two Megazords are featured.
 * Debut of the Metallic Armor (which is only used in this three parter and the next two episodes) which serves as a replacement for the Ninja outfit powers to combat Rita and Zedd's super strong Tengas.
 * Debut of the Shogun Megafalconzord configuration.
 * First appearance of Billy's Falconzord remote which enables the Rangers to control both the Ninja and Shogun Megazords simultaneously.
 * The monster in this episode originally gained its final form when it absorbed the powers of 4 of the Kakurangers, which is why its final form has the 4 Ranger helmets. The weapon it gains is Ninja Black's crossbow. However, cut from the Sentai footage is Ninja Red attacking Master Vile to damage the monster and provoking him to grow.
 * Second time a Ranger is seen in Rita and Zedd's palace, the first being Green With Evil.
 * Rita jokes the forcefield protecting the Zeo Crystal scarred Lord Zedd's face.

Quotes

 * Tommy: Hey. Guys what are you doing here?
 * Adam: Tommy, the battle's over, We lost!
 * Aisha: It's awful! Katherine's totally evil now!
 * Billy: Vile has agreed to spare us and our familes, if we give him the Zeo Crystal.
 * Rocky: Tommy, you've got to join us. Surrender now!
 * (Tommy adopts a fighting stance as the Green Ranger appears behind the four Rangers)
 * Tommy: My friends would never surrender to Master Vile!!
 * Green Ranger: Your right Tommy, They join with them!
 * Tommy: Never!!


 * Master Vile: So, I failed once. Big deal. Rita and Zedd have tried to conquer the Earth over a hundred times, and they've never come close. The Rangers think they've won, but they haven't! That was just a small taste of what I have in store for those horrible teenagers. Master Vile is here to stay! (laughs)
