Notes

• Viewership: 12.1%
• During the battle sequence, DynaBlack introduces his Battle Tector; while a personal weapon for combat for Hoshikawa, this would be the first prototype of the "Power Protector" and the Super Rangers.
• The music playing during Chimera's second fight with the Dynaman is the tone poem Night on Bald Mountain, originally composed by Modest Mossorgsky but more well known due to an arrangement by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov which this episode uses.
