The opening credits of the series get an overhaul once again. With the departure of Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson) from the series, Catherine Sutherland is added among the cast as Katherine, the new Pink Ranger.
The Shogun Megazord's weapon is now officially referred to as the "Fire Saber".
Katherine retains a "telepathic link" to Rita after being freed from her evil hold and it comes in handy in this story. This is the side-effect that Zordon mentions to Kat at the end of "A Different Shade of Pink, part 3". However, the telepathic link fades away after this story and is never mentioned again on the series.
The "X-ray magnification" feature of the Viewing Globe is introduced for the first time.
