Did you know?
- The character 恐 in 恐龙 literally means 'fear' or 'dread', making the word for dinosaur translate more closely to 'fearable dragon'.
- The word 战队 is commonly used in modern Chinese gaming culture to describe a professional esports team, far beyond its original military meaning.
- Because the show relies heavily on 'transforming', many Chinese viewers use the verb 变身 (biànshēn), which literally means 'to change one's body'.
