Notes
- "You too use the Masterforce to transform" has been the show's "catchphrase" of sorts, having been shouted by Shūta at the audience at the close of every "next episode" preview.
- This episode is the fifth of five Super-God Masterforce clip shows produced for direct-to-video release, but this one actually wound up airing on television as the forty-third and final broadcast episode of the series. It serves as an overview of the series, covering characters, concepts and adventures through clips from the opening sequence of The Headmasters, "The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)", "Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt", "Kidnapping!? The Targeted Jumbo Jet", "Birth! Headmaster Jrs", "A Fierce Battle!! The Autobots Are in Trouble", "The Autobot Warrior, Sixknight?!", "Super Ginrai Gets Blown Away in the Desert!?", "God Ginrai - Showdown on the Surface of the Moon", "Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes", "BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space", "Crisis! The Day of the Downfall of Humanity", "God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base" and "Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn". There is an entirely new narration running through the episode, and in some cases, character dialogue is re-written for certain clips to change the subject that is being discussed, to help the clip fit better into the framework of the episode.
- As the final installment of the series, this episode features a unique commercial bumper in place of a regular one at its conclusion, starring the show's "mascots," Cab's pet parrot and armadillo. The parrot rides around on the rolled-up armadillo and then promptly falls off as the armadillo uncurls, with "The End" overlaid on top of the whole scene.
- The video release of the episode features an additional seven minute featurette, included after the closing credits, titled "Shūta and Grand's Masterforce Super-Secrets". Collectively, the episode and featurette are known as "The Big Book of Masterforce".
