Story
Outrageous Power
This season's Outrageous Powers combine to form the Outrageous Bazooka ダイソレタバズーカ.
Villain
Kenma of Time Mutoumushite
時の拳魔・ムトウムシテ
Voiced by Hiyama Nobuyuki
The leaders of the RinJyuDen were called Kenma (means Fist Devil). The naming scheme for that series was Japanese pig latin.
- Mutoumushite = Temutomushi. His theming is the same as last week's, a ladybug, which is Tentoumushi in Japanese.
- Kenma all get their powers from emotions. Mutomushite is powered by his grudge.
尽きせぬ 恨み を力に変える
- His dying words are "Even if Mutoumushite dies, Okamoto Yoshi-" ムトウムシテ死すとも、岡本よし…

Trivia
- Yuuko's speech pattern this week appears to be appending "na no da" to all her lines.
- Apparently the exercising guy looks that way in real life too. http://ameblo.jp/orakio/
- Hashimoto Taito was Kazari in OOO.
- They refer to episode 4's Cap-tan with Mousou Cap-tan, which was a mispronunciation of the English word Motion Capture.
Sentai References
- Used a timer to count the time wasted on Nobuo's explanation in a parody of Go-Busters countdown timer.
- Hiyama Nobuyuki is a pretty big voice actor. In Sentai, one of his biggest roles was Sunbash from Gingaman.
- Mutoumushite uses a technique "Knowledge From the Past" that references several previous Sentai series. He also shouts out the year of the series at the end of his attack.
- When Mutoumushite attacks Malshiina, she says "If only Deluknight were here..." which apparently is similar to a line from Bioman "If only Baljion were here..."
- When Malshiina is imprisoned, Nobuo recalls Princess Iaru who is trapped in a coffin of ice. Tsuu immediately rejects that and just says she's in a acrylic case, like a giant living figurine.
- Okamoto Yoshinori is a stuntman for many previous Sentai series. He's also known as O-BITOH.
- Was the suit actor and the voice for Buuba and Sungain.
- Works at the Sky Theater at Tokyo Dome City on Suidoubashi.
- The episode title Beautiful Fight (Bitou) has the same pronunciation as his nickname, Bitoh.
- When Nobuo mentions Okamoto, Luna mistakes him for Okamoto Jirou, another famous suit actor.
- The sunset fight is similar to the one in Changeman between Buuba and Red Dragon.
- Okamoto's kouhai is none other than Mr. Heisei Rider, Takaiwa Seiji. Who's also done some Sentai work as MagiRed and other stuff.
Red's Recommendation
- He recommends GekiChopper as his favorite song from GekiRanger's insert songs.
ゲキレンの挿入歌ならハッ！ハッ！ 『ゲキチョッパー！』推し！アキバレッド
Blue's Mistake
- She recommends GekiOrange RoboTuff, which was a trainer, not a GekiRanger.
Yellow's Ramble
