  • Of the three current Space Sheriffs, Kai HyugaIcon-crosswiki/Sharivan is the only one not to appear. This is due to the retirement of his actor, Riki MiuraIcon-crosswiki, from the entertainment industry.[3]

    • Space Wolf Juspion
    • Jiban The Mobile Cop
    • Janperson Fight For Justice
  • Luka MillfyIcon-crosswiki appearing and getting into a scuffle with Raptor 283Icon-crosswiki is a reference to both characters being portrayed by M • A • OIcon-crosswiki.
