Fortunately for the Zenkaigers, I'm pretty sure the idea there is just that Juuru happened to picture an existing thing in his head, so unless he dreamed up the entirety of Crsytalia, too, they should be fine! Hopefully...!

I really loved that scene, by the way, but it's all on the meta level for me. Zenkaiger's writer is Junko Koumura, who apparently started working on Sentai in the first place thanks to Arakawa, so assuming that gag was his idea, I thought it was a touching little way to sorta pass the torch, as it were. I can't immediately recall any instances of a Sentai show setting up the next this way, so I get the feeling that moment might not have happened if it weren't these two writers specifically.
