Important things that happened

  • For some reason, the usual staff of Nejirejia are absent (But present in Bibidebi's fantasy) so Bibidebi tries to defeat the MegaRangers by himself.
  • Canary Nejiraa has an old man voice, so he steals Chisato's voice, leading to wacky hijinks.
  • Eventually they defeat the Nejiraa but not in time for the school cultural festival contest. However, their class remained behind so that Chisato could sing for them.

Nejirejia

Canary Nejiraa

カナリアネジラー

Voices - Otsuka Akio 大塚明夫, Tanaka Eri

Possesses the Swap Beam (Torikaekko BIIMU トリカエッコビーム) Possible pun with Tori meaning Bird in Japanese.

When Canary steals the Battle Riser, he uses it to do parody moves of the Riser Punch and Riser Chop called Canary Punch and Canary Chop. These attacks are so weak that the MegaRangers have to feign getting hurt.

  • Chisato's shirt says Scandaleuse.
  • Guest star Kobayashi Akiko went on to do voice acting work, including a guest role on Fairy Musketeers Akazukin.
  • Voice actor Otsuka Akio has also done other Sentai characters, such as Dagon from MagiRanger.
  • Apparently Erina has been in previous episodes and is a series regular. Her nickname for Chisato is Chisa-chi.
  • This is the 23rd cultural festival for Moroboshi Academy.
  • Chisato can't change because of the voice lock. Ironically, the dangerous combined weapon that gets stolen from them isn't voice locked, despite the Megarangers saying so to trick the Nejiraa.
