Comments:
This episode was written by Bruce Kalish, one of
the executive producers of Power Rangers S.P.D.
The Black Ranger had control of the Stegazord in
this episode. Although the White Ranger clone
seems to use it most of the time. There seems to
be a power struggle going on. It probably helps
that the White Ranger clone wasn't around.
I don't understand why the volcano appears to be
floating in the sky. I know it's Sentai footage,
but I don't think it made any sense in Abaranger
either.
