Notes

Template:Ent "Engine" (炎神, Enjin) literally translates as "Flame God." The logo for the series uses the English word "Engine" in the title instead of the romanization of the kanji as "Enjin." Template:Ent "Go-onger" (ゴーオンジャー, Gōonjā) is a portmanteau of the Japanese words for "thunderous sound" (轟音, gōon) and "Ranger" (レンジャー, Renjā). It is also related to the English words "go on." Template:Ent "MantanGun" (マンタンガン, Mantangan) comes from the Japanese phrase for "fill 'er up" (満タン, mantan).
