Trivia

Jyuuru goes to Hikarigamine High School which has the kanji for "light" in the name.
Sena wears SCRTC brand sportswear. SCRTC was the company that supported the GekiRangers.
Oladdin's name is based on Odin, or possibly a play on Aladdin.
Mabushiina's name is derived from the Japanese word mabushii (眩しい), which means "dazzling" or "radiant".
Kurantula is a combination of kurai (dark) and tarantula.
Garuza's name is probably from Utgarda-Loki who was the ruler of a castle in Jotunheim from Norse mythology.
- Garuza's name is a play on the Arabic word غلظر/gulzar ("garden") and the Persian word گلزر/golzar ("beautiful").
Hakataminami says the idiom "Dumpling soup instead of worries" (案じるより団子汁). It means instead of being anxious, it's better to enjoy life with food and stuff.[1]
When there's only four members, Hakataminami asks if one of them is the invisible man, a movie that just came out recently.
DVD version: Toei released a DVD version separate from Sentai Party that's 30 minutes long (Although the Toei Video site says it's 34 minutes). There was no Blu-ray equivalent.

TV version

Mashin Sentai Kiramager
< Ep 10	EPISODE ZERO TV version エピソードZERO TV版	Start Dash Special >
With Kamen Rider Zero-One President Special PART.01

During the Covid-19 outbreak, Toei had to close their studio for a time. To fill in the gap, they aired an edited down version of EPISODE ZERO. The original movie was 28 minutes, which was reduced to 23 minutes for TV. The TV version was aired on May 17, 2020 (2020-05-17), after Ep 10.

The TV version had to cut 5 minutes to fit the air slot. Summarized from HowlingSnail from Reddit:

Credits added over the scenes at the beginning.
Most of the scenes that weren't deleted run a few frames short.
Added a narrator saying the show's name at the credits.
The narration of Mabushiina saying "And so starts the search for those with strong Kiramental..." now plays over the scene of Sena getting ready to run.
In the garage fight, that remains uncut, while the OP instrumental was used in the Movie version, the TV cut has the lyrics for the TV Version, while the second verse and chorus remain as instrumental.
The scene where each Stone calls their partners' name (and they are shown on screen) is now narrated by Mabushiina, and those four shots are shorter.
The transition to Fire looking for Jyuuru starts before.
The scene of Jyuuru finishing the drawing starts a few frames after.
Garuza's scene now features Mabushiina's last narration, and Garuza remains silent up until he puts on his weird helmet. It also runs a few frames shorter.
The last few frames of KirameiRed are slower and have a fade added instead of going straight to black.
No credits at the end.
