Notes
- In production order, this episode was the final episode of Masked Rider. In airing order, it was not.
- The Showa Era Riders appeared in this episode, but Saban did indeed plan to remove them and replace them with the Power Rangers. This was changed due to low budget.[Citation needed]
- This episode is notable for changing the names of the majority of the Showa Riders (only Kamen Rider ZX retains his name, while Kamen Rider 2 and Riderman are omitted from the rollcall footage). Many Riders who were intended to keep their names or similar were called by the wrong names because the Riders did not appear in the order that the script writers believed due to bad editing of the rollcall footage after Kamen Rider 2 and Riderman were omitted out:
- Kamen Rider 1 becomes Masked Rider Warrior Leader
- Kamen Rider V3 becomes Masked Rider Warrior Commander
- Kamen Rider X becomes V3
- Kamen Rider Amazon becomes Riderman
- Kamen Rider Stronger becomes Masked Rider X
- Skyrider becomes Amazon
- Kamen Rider Super-1 becomes Strongman
- Joe the Haze, Reiko Shiratori and Kyoko Matoba appeared from the footage from Kamen Rider Black RX episode "False Rider's Last Days".
- This episode is infamous for the phrase "I AM AMAZON!" which sparked a minor internet meme among the tokusatsu fandom years after its broadcast, especially due to the fact that the names were announced out of order, so it was Skyrider who dramatically declared himself to be Amazon.
Errors
- Dex mistakenly calls the Ecto Ray the Electro Ray.
- After Dex turns around to see the explosions caused by Bruticon, Mega Blue Beetleborg and the destroyed Crimson Creep can be seen on one frame before the explosion fills up the screen. This footage was taken from Juukou B-Fighter episode "Look the Juukou Super Evolution", which was adapted into "The Bride of Frankenbeans" in Big Bad Beetleborgs.
Mega Blue Beetleborg's cameo.
- During the close-up shots of Dex after he awakens in the warehouse in the US footage, Roborider and Masked Rider Super Blue suits appeared in the background instead of the Masked Rider Warriors due to the low budget.
