Dr. Kubota, INET chief, then reveals the truth to Kenta and friends: Megaranger was not a video-game, but actually a combat simulator that had been designed to find the recruits with the potential to become a super fighting team to strike against the Nezireija.

Notes
- Coincidentally, this is the only Super Sentai series that shares a similarity with its Power Rangers season (In Space), where the leads are all teens attending high school. The first high school-based sentai, Kousoku Sentai Turboranger, was made several years before the first season of MMPR; the five previous Power Ranger seasons did not have a high-school base in the original Sentai, nor does Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, Tensou Sentai Goseiger, or all of the Ninningers which were the basis for the PR high-school series, Dino Thunder and Megaforce respectively.
- This is the first Sentai Series to feature a Silver Ranger.
- This is also the first season to introduce a new, heroic Ranger color since Battle Fever J.
- This is the final Sentai to have two females on the team until Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger.
- This is the final Sentai where the main mech does not have individualized pieces for each member.
- Further, due to the unique set-up of Galaxy Mega, this is the only main mech other than Battle Fever Robo and DaiDenzin where all members share the cockpit in all forms.
- The sound that is played when the Death Neziros appears on screen is the TARDIS sound from Doctor Who. This is due to the BBC giving sound clips to Toei.
- The Red/Black/Blue/Yellow/Pink/Silver color scheme for the rangers would not be used again until GoGo Sentai Boukenger and Tensou Sentai Goseiger.
- The original concept of the season was Gigaranger; it was to involve Ranger heroes in space with mecha based on five space vehicle and a transforming colony.[1] Ironically, the space-theme would be used in Power Rangers in Space, due to the producers thinking Megaranger was space-themed based from their arsenal and mechs. The colony idea, while not transforming, was used in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy as Terra Venture, although it is unknown if this was based on Gigaranger.
- Other concept for the series was that the mecha was formed by the Ranger individual symbols (Personal Computer, Satellite, Television, Digital Camera and Cellphone).
- During the transformation sequence, several lines of text appear in the background. The first one, Tighten Up Reality Gangster, sounds like bad English, but is in fact a combination of three song titles from an album called Electronic, by a band with the same name. It is tracks 3, 2 and 6 in that order.
- This was the last Super Sentai show to be dubbed in Indonesian until Kyuranger in 2019.
