Part three of the Antonio and Mentor Ji tied to a pole scene has another zoomed shot of Antonio (Pic 1) This was to remove sight of the knotted rope around his neck and legs as seen in the US version (Pic 2). 

Also during this scene 4 seconds was cut which showed Eyescar pushing Antonio against the pole, this cut also removes Mentor Ji saying "Antonio" before he continues with the rest of his dialogue.

And finally another four zoomed shots of Mentor Ji and Antonio (Left) were used to, yes you guessed it, remove sight of the knotted ropes around their necks as seen in the original US version (Right).

Green ranger stabs an off-screen mooger..Mooger falls in front of camera.

As the green ranger battles some moogers 2 seconds was removed which showed him stabbing an off-screen mooger with his forest spear then pulling it back out, this was followed by the mooger falling in front of the camera and making a noise. The green ranger's dialogue was also re-edited to fit onto the shortened sequence, he now says "Haven't you figured it out When it comes to fighting, green means stop, yaa" where as in the US version he said "[yeha], Haven't you [moogers] figured it out, When it comes to fighting, green means stop, yaa". By doing this the sound effects were out of sync with the video.

 

Still no neck-strap attaching.The megazord neck-strap shot is shown in slow motion and only shows the eyes light up with the neck-strap already attached, you don't see both ends joining together then tightening around the neck. No audio is lost.

 

Blade extends out the top.Close up of the blade.
Blades extend out the top.Close up of the blades.

During the Super mega red ranger's mega blade sequence, they trimmed the end of the shot which showed his blade folding open, removed the shots of the blade extending out the top and a close up of the blade. The four ranger split screen sequence of them opening their mega blades, the blades extending out the top and a close up of all four blades was also removed. Plus their dialogue of them saying "Mega Blade Activate" was also cut.

 

Slow motion used.When the gold ranger is in the claw battle zord he spins the disc to activate the Claw battle zord south for the second time. The shot of the disc spinning is shown in slow motion and has also been darkened to lessen the flashing light effects.
