NOTE: These images do not reflect the sourced episodes verbatim. They are composites of scenes from both Zyuranger and Power Rangers. This was done merely to show what Toei’s raw footage could have looked like.
After Saban exhausted Zyuranger footage, Toei was financed to make a collection of enemies that was exclusive to Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. These are often referred to as “Zyu2" monsters. Saban eventually acquired the rights to Gosei Sentai Dairanger, but they had some remaining Zyu2 costumes. Thus, many of them were seen in the early episodes of the second season of Power Rangers. Poor editing techniques spliced the Zyu2 scenes with Dairanger and original Saban sequences. As of today, Toei has not released any of the uncut Zyu2 episodes on home video. None of these creatures appeared in Zyuranger.
In Japanese sources, the monster was referred to as Venuleon (ビーナレオン; Biinareon).
Although Burai/Dragon Ranger died in Zyuranger, he was “resurrected" for the Zyu2 stories. This was because Tommy/the Green Ranger was still active in Power Rangers.
Toei was asked by Saban to give the Zyuranger suit actors traits unique to the Power Rangers characters and continuity. The Pink Ranger and Green Ranger had a romantic relationship while Ptera Ranger and Dragon Ranger did not. Once the captured teammates were freed from the inside of the monster, Dragon/Green Ranger briefly embraced Ptera/Pink Ranger.
Invenusable Flytrap reappeared in “Zedd’s Monster Mash", “Rangers Back in Time", “The Wedding", “Master Vile and the Metallic Armor" and “The Fate of Lightspeed".
Invenusable Flytrap changed from female to male in latter episodes of Power Rangers.
It is unknown if Toei filmed other death sequences for Invenusable Flytrap (i.e., if she was enlarged and pitted against the mecha). However, the Power Blaster (Howling Cannon) didn’t seem to successfully destroy the enemy. Flytrap can be spotted lying down on the ground.
