I Can't Lose! Turnabout Teamwork (負けるか! 逆転チームワーク Makeru ka! Gyakuten Chīmuwāku) is the eighth episode of Denji Sentai Megaranger. This episode is a turning point for Super Sentai as a franchise with its arrival at the airing time of 7:30 on Sunday morning. This is important both in expanding the length of the episodes for both Megaranger as well as all Sentai to follow, returning it to the full "30-minute" airing time it had lost after the crunch in airing time during Dynaman, as well as sets it up as airing right before the Metal Heroes series airing at the time, B-Robo Kabutack
, creating a partnership that will continue through the end of the Metal Heroes franchise as well as the following series after MH's end: a new version of Shotaro Ishinomori's Moero!! Robocon in 1999; and, in 2000, the revival of the Kamen Rider franchise with Kamen Rider Kuuga, thus starting another long-lasting partnership that will continue to this very day.
In series, this episode likewise features a climactic showdown with Neziregia Mobile Commander Yugande, while giving the first hints at the origins of Dr. Hinelar and his connections both with I.N.E.T. and with Megarangers' mentor, Professor Eikichi Kubota.
