## Errors

* When Brody uses the Element Star in Metal Mode, it's shown in Fire Mode when he spins it.
* The Ninja Steel Megazord cockpit looks slightly different in Brody's spot after the Skullgator is destroyed.
* After the Skullgator appears, the Rangers mysteriously appear in the forest instead of the area that they were in before.
* After Brody fought Spinferno, everyone in class was watching the fight on a laptop. When Preston tries to tell his friends that the fight between Brody and Spinferno happened without their help, Sarah interrupts, claiming that people would hear them, but when Brody shows up, Sarah complains to him about what he's done out loud instead of whispering.
* Spinferno didn't recognize the other rangers when Calvin, Haley, and Sarah regrouped with Brody and Preston, even though he met them before the big fight began.
* When Spinferno shoots the data comm out of Monty's hands, he has a newly-inserted flashback that does not match how Brody originally hid behind walls. He then states to himself that the data comm was how Brody knew all of his moves. This leads to two errors:
	+ Every time Brody used it, he was completely hidden from Spinferno's sight.
	+ Brody only used it to figure out how to counter Spinferno overall, not his moves.
* Brody puts the Robo Red Zord Star on his Ninja Star Blade when forming the Ninja Steel Megazord, despite it already being on.

## Notes

* The episode title takes its name from the 1992 song of the same name by Joe Public.
* This episode marks the first appearance of Skullgators.
* As of this episode, the opening sequence changed to fix errors with Calvin.
	+ The symbol behind him was changed from the Pink Power Star to the Yellow Power Star
	+ They changed his Morphing Sequence to show a completed helmet, as it originally was missing a piece of the silver outline.
* This episode debuts a new Saban Brands ident, replacing the one that had been introduced with "The Team Unites" six years earlier.
* This episode also changed the steps to activating the morpher, as seen when Brody prepared to morph. More ninja-like movements were present before he spun his Ninja Power Star.
