Outside, Escape was confronted by Stinger and Raptor after she flees from the hall as she transforms into her Escape Evolve. Meanwhile, Hammie can only to hesitate as Geki and Shu reveal her forced compliance to Demost as "Kimiko" is exposed as one of Tsurugi's aides in disguise, with Naga and Balance already figured out her true identity. During flashback, Lucky figured out that Kimiko was Demost, with Naga figures it out by the fragance that was same with Demost after Shu sniffs at Kimiko and Naga.

Notes
- According to Space Squad writer Naruhisa Arakawa, Machineman from Seiun Kamen Machineman was his most wanted Toei Hero that he was planned to added in the sequel.[2] The character was left out of the sequel because of budget concerns.
- Of the three current Space Sheriffs, Kai Hyuga/Sharivan is the only one not to appear. This is due to the retirement of his actor, Riki Miura, from the entertainment industry.[3]
- Several English romanizations of the Metal Heroes' names were shown in this film for the first time:
- Space Wolf Juspion
- Jiban The Mobile Cop
- Janperson Fight For Justice
- Luka Millfy appearing and getting into a scuffle with Raptor 283 is a reference to both characters being portrayed by M • A • O.
- The cameo appearance of Ryouma Kagawa/Fire in this film marks the first return of this character over 26 years after the final episode of Solbrain.
- Shou does not transform into Ryu Commander in this movie, and as such is the only Kyuranger not to be part of either side during the team's conflict, despite appearing transformed on the poster.
- This is the first feature length installment in the Space Squad franchise to not be written by Naruhisa Arakawa, instead being written by Kyuranger head writer Nobuhiro Mouri.
- When Geki says Space Squad needs to team up with a rescue force, there is a cut to Shu saying "Rescue?" This is a reference to Hiroaki Iwanaga, Shu's actor, who previously portrayed Captain Eiji Ishiguro/R5 in Tomica Hero Rescue Force in 2008.
- In an interview with Tom Constantine, director Koichi Sakamoto revealed that Kyuranger vs. Space Squad is regarded as "Episode 1.5" of Space Squad as opposed to Episode 2, which would come later.[4]
