The 18th and 19th season of the Power Rangers franchise, using Ranger, Monster, and Zord footage from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. It was the first season since Power Rangers Wild Force to be entirely directed and produced by Jonathon Tzachor.In feudal Japan, Nighloks from the otherworldly Sanzu River emerged from cracks in the human world and terrorized the populace until a group of Samurai united to stop them. When the Nighloks begin appearing again in the present day, five young descendants of those samurai are gathered to train in the ways of their families' "Samurai Symbols of Power" and stop the Nighloks' efforts of using humans' tears of despair to make the Sanzu River flood the human world.The first season produced by Haim Saban after taking the license back from Disney, Saban was banking on nostalgia for the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. They revived the classic theme song and referenced it in the morph call, and they got Paul Schrier to reprise his role as Bulk, half of the original series' Those Two Guys. The approach appeared to pay off where it counted, as Samurai did pull in solid ratings, unlike Jungle Fury and RPM, and easily got renewed.Due to some oddities with how Nickelodeon handles episode orders, the show and future seasons are split into two and the second half of this series is branded as Power Rangers Super Samurai.Succeeded by Power Rangers Megaforce.

Secret Identity
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_112890b3
comment
"Kevin's Choice" is about Kevin having to accept that his being a Ranger meant putting certain life things on hold for the greater good, (in this case, a potential swimming tournament) as his presence in such a public situation could put the citizenry in danger. The ending of the Episode however involves Kevin accepting this necessity.... and then competing in the tournament anyway after the MOTW is defeated, doing the exact thing the Episode had been warning him against the entire time without any justification, note Aside from the current threat being removed, but the fact that the show has used multiple MOTWs in one Episode before.... rendering the whole Episode's conflict completely pointless.note  This doesn't help that Kevin's Choice" is a point-for-point rehash of the first season's third Episode "The Team Unites," which starred Mike facing the exact same "duty before life" dilemma, with a monster aware of his identity attacking those close to him, forcing him to keep out of the public eye to protect them, thus playing the moral straight. Kevin essentially gets off scot-free for making the same mistakes.

"The Strange Case of the Munchies" adds more confusion as Mia's driver's license says her address is Panorama City, PR 649815. Problem here is that no American city has a 6-digit ZIP code and since Antonio is the only person on the show to speak Spanish, albeit badly, that pretty much rules out Puerto Rico.

Deal with the Devil: A minor one, a kid makes a deal with a Nighlok in which if he throws away his baseball things (and therefore, his dream), he would see his father again. In fact, the episode is called "Deal With A Nighlok". "Broken Dreams" reveals that Dayu made a deal with a Nighlok to save Deker's life. Of course, the Nighlok being a Nighlok, both of them ended up being cursed.

Mythology Gag
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag Xandred regularly has a headache. And in "Deal With A Nighlok", the monster throws his staff into the ground in a particularly familiar fashion. Similarly, "Day Off" has Bulk and Spike chowing down on cotton candy much like the clip used in the original's title sequence (from the first season episode "No Clowning Around"). The new Samurai Rangers do the classic Mighty Morphin' hand-stack thing, albeit with their "Rangers Together, Samurai Forever" in place of shouting "Power Rangers!" The use of the phrase "Go Go Samurai" recalls the original theme song, which might make it the easiest morphing call to remember. Not only does the whip-wielding Nighlok that can mind-control Ranger and Zord alike in "I've Got a Spell on Blue" parallel the Lion Tamer Org, but this episode also features the full-fledged debut of Ricardo Medina Jr., previously the Red Wild Force Ranger, as Deker. The monster in #12 actually utters Tommy's "Aww man!" The Megazord's battle helmets' idea originated from Zeo, although it's style is closer to that of of Jungle Fury's zord combinations. Spike has a crush on the Pink Ranger. In Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Spike's dad had a crush on Kimberly, who was the first Pink Ranger ever. Bulk uses a video camera to spy on the Rangers, though this time its to learn their moves rather than their identities. While Mako's greatest fear was natto, Mia is afraid of frogs. She even kisses it, not on top like Madison did, but full on the mouth for the first liplock in Power Rangers since Tommy and Kimberly! Mia's driving licence in "A Strange Case of the Munchies" reveals her last name as Watanabe - any chance she's related to Sensei and Cam? Bulk strikes the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' morphing pose with a handful of gumballs in "Stroke of Fate". IT'S CHEWING TIME! In the Netherworld scenes, you can vaguely make out a few bars of Rita Repulsa's background music.

Bilingual Bonus: The Symbols of Power used by the Rangers are never exactly translated. One can get a basic understanding of what they mean by seeing the context they're used in, but they're rarely given an outright translation. However, sometimes the Ranger will yell out the translation when writing the kanji. Also, even when the kanji are different from the ones used in sentai, they do still properly translate into what's being done.

Also, Xandred is The Dreaded but in practice does nothing but sit around and complain in the vast majority of episodes. Yeah, he's unable to leave the Sanzu River (or, as we'll find out later, unable to leave it for long and then only at great cost) but the Big Bad of the previous series was one of the most menacing despite spending most of the series as a red light on a wall because he was quite a mastermind.

comment
Worf Had the Flu: When Master Xandred makes his first appearence to the Rangers in "The Master Returns" he rapidly dries out moments after getting to Earth due to the previous generation's seal on him. However, far from being weaker than expected, he was immensely powerful and his needing to retreat to avoid crumbling away is the only reason that the Rangers survived! The final episode was played more straight: after absorbing Dayu and becoming part human, he gained immunity to drying out and the sealing spell, but his power was reduced, making him a very difficult but ultimately beatable foe.

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: As Saban has taken to hire Americans for the primary cast here in, this doesn't come up as much compared to the Disney era. However, the show is still shot in Auckland, so this is now mostly reserved for the guest characters. Could also apply to Mentor Ji, though in his case it might be just Not Even Bothering with the Accent. Emily's sister in "Sticks and Stones." The Kids Are American: Basically the majority of the kids so far, whether they're portraying younger versions of the Rangers or regular kids, have been unable to hide their New Zealand accents. Especially noticable when compared to the American accents used by adults in the same scene (Ryan and his dad in "Deal with a Nighlok" and Young!- and current-Jayden and Antonio in "Unexpected Arrival").

Batman Gambit: Following the one made in Shinkenger to a T in "There Go the Brides" (except they didn't have Kevin playing the other bride): they set up two fake brides - Mia as the obvious decoy and Emily as the "real" bride. This is also attempted by the Nighlok Eyescar in "The Rescue" as he sets up a trap where the only apparent way to save the captured Antonio and Ji is to follow the trail that leads into an army of Mooks. It fails because Jayden sees right through it and destroys them all with an aerial strike from the Samurai Battlewing.

comment
Broken Aesop: The Red Ranger stays behind to train on his day off while all the other Rangers go to an amusement park. His master says that in order to master his weapon, he needs balance in his life and should have more fun. The Ranger shrugs him off and eventually masters the weapon with more training, even after all these hints that in order to master his weapon, he needed to have more fun. "Kevin's Choice" is about Kevin having to accept that his being a Ranger meant putting certain life things on hold for the greater good, (in this case, a potential swimming tournament) as his presence in such a public situation could put the citizenry in danger. The ending of the Episode however involves Kevin accepting this necessity.... and then competing in the tournament anyway after the MOTW is defeated, doing the exact thing the Episode had been warning him against the entire time without any justification, note Aside from the current threat being removed, but the fact that the show has used multiple MOTWs in one Episode before.... rendering the whole Episode's conflict completely pointless.note  This doesn't help that Kevin's Choice" is a point-for-point rehash of the first season's third Episode "The Team Unites," which starred Mike facing the exact same "duty before life" dilemma, with a monster aware of his identity attacking those close to him, forcing him to keep out of the public eye to protect them, thus playing the moral straight. Kevin essentially gets off scot-free for making the same mistakes.

Stock Footage: While the use of Sentai footage is a given, the two Super Samurai specials, "Trickster Treat" and "Stuck on Christmas" use footage from previous episodes of Samurai, the former almost entirely made up of Stock Footage from both Shinkenger (there's even a quick shot of an untransformed Mako left in; her face is blurred, though) and Samurai. The latter actually does use quite a bit of original footage. See Bottle Episode above.

Sealed Evil in a Can
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_485eb589
comment
Sealed Evil in a Can: The Sanzu River is one to the Nighloks, as nobody can last long away from the river before they dry out. Only a monster and some Mooks are able to go out at a time, trying to increase peoples' despair and sorrow in order to make the Sanzu's water level rise until it seeps into and floods the human world. Master Xandred was sealed in the river by Jayden's father. Due to the seal being done wrong (which stems from the previous Red Ranger having insufficient power at the time), it causes him headaches. "The Master Returns" seems to imply that he's still trapped to some degree, as flashbacks show he could previously leave the Sanzu River without drying out, a problem he has now.

Artistic License – History
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: In the case of traditional Japanese clans, such as those who can trace their lineage to samurai, the title of clan leadership passes down first to the first son of the family. Even if the son has a older sister, the son will still be the leader of that clan/family. Girls can only become the leaders if there is no male heir (by birth or adoption). In other words when one actually follows samurai lore, there shouldn't have even been a debate about Jayden's position as leader, since his older sibling is a female. The only way this would be a problem would be if Jayden wasn't really a Shiba at all (again by birth or adoption). Shinkenger's version of the plotline was historically accurate, but it's considered unacceptably sexist in modern America and so had to be changed.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_56723175
comment
Adaptation Induced Plothole: By virtue of being almost a note for note translation of Shinkenger, elements that were present in the source material but not here become glaringly obvious when one knows about both. There are several, but probably the biggest, as noted down in Artistic License – History, is that Jayden and Lauren being siblings messes up the twist at the end quite a bit. In Shinkenger, Takeru is a Body Double for Kaoru and wasn't a real Shiba, thus his reasons for not wanting the other Shinkengers to fight with him is based on his feelings that they shouldn't risk their lives over a lie. The omission of a direct counterpart to Tanba also cuts out much of the tension between Kaoru/Lauren and the other Shinkengers/Samurai Rangers, while Lauren is also much friendlier than Kaoru was (at first, anyway), so Lauren choosing to step down from the role of leader comes off as confusing, considering how well she was getting along with everyone. The above change also causes a smaller one just before, regarding Octoroo's attempt to take out Jayden by burning him up with his own Shiba symbol power. In Shinkenger, Shitari's plan fails because Takeru isn't actually a member of the Shiba family, and therefore doesn't have their hereditary Scriptomancy. In Samurai, however, Jayden is part of the Shiba family, but the plan still somehow fails, even though there's no reason why he wouldn't have inherited the same symbol power as his sister. Hilariously, Octoroo then concludes that Jayden isn't the real head of the Shiba family quicker than Shitari did in Shinkenger! A smaller one is the much maligned decision by Mentor Ji to take Antonio's morpher away. While it does happen in Shinkenger, Jii does have much stronger reasons for doing it. Namely that Genta is an even bigger doofusnote Genta showed up at the Shiba household looking like a ridiculous Samurai caricature and generally wasn't taking things seriously despite insistence's to the contrary. than Antonio is, and the Sushi Changer was at least partially created using the power of both the Octopus Origami and a Hidden Disk that Takeru had given him, so Jii at least is taking back something that rightfully belongs to the Shiba household because of its origin. The omission of the tinier details causes the scene to take on a very different tone than the original, making Mentor Ji out to be an Elitist Jerkass rather than well intentioned but harsh.note To be fair, it’s treated as a dick move In-Universe, with the Rangers struggling to justify it and Ji eventually apologising and returning it

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_5beef860
comment
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: "Something Fishy" deserves special mention for adapting the corresponding arc from Shinkenger without losing the context. While Genta's fear of his own Sushi Changer stemmed from his soul getting trapped in sushi that was almost eaten, Antonio developed a fear of his weapon (the fish-shaped Barracuda Blade) instead, after being trapped in a regular fish. The other Rangers' fears have been changed (the haunted house is swapped for regular old spiders for Jayden), with a Call-Back to boot as Kevin's test of courage involves Mia's cooking.

You Look Familiar: Rene Naufahu, playing Ji, once threatened Rangers as Emperor Gruumm. There was even an episode where Gruumm took human form, allowing Naufahu to walk around out-of-costume. Related to the above, the Grand Shogun is played by Jim Mclarty, who played Broodwing. Cole's actor, Ricardo Medina Jr., returns as Deker's human form. It should be noted that the slicked back hair & goatee make him look distinctly different to when he last appeared as Cole, and coupled with the fact that he's credited as "Rick Medina" here, it could be enough to throw anyone who didn't know it was the same actor. Daisuke from "The Tengen Gate" is played by Grant McFarland who played both Sensei Kanoi and Big Bad Lothor in Power Rangers Ninja Storm. Why do they keep having him play Asian people?

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: The morph. The original uses ink brushes that somehow writes colorful Japanese characters in the air. The American version uses a colorful LED that writes colorful Japanese characters in the air. Calligraphy brushes aren't as culturally important in America, but also the devices (which are otherwise identical despite the visual effect) look like complicated cell phones instead of magic wands. To be fair, the original Sentai's morphers were cell phones that happened to contain a magic calligraphy brush. And the previous set of Samurai Rangers (and Lauren) are shown using the ink brush style morphers as opposed to the modern one. Special mention must be made of adapting the Green-stuck-with-Blue battle in "A Sticky Situation", as Mike and Kevin now yell commands at each other to pull off the whole thing. In the original, the less talkative Shinkengers would have to have been using telepathy.note Actually, that episode established that Ryunosuke and Chiaki work very well in tandem, in a nearly instinctive level, and the stuck hands predicament threw off their teamwork, which they eventually regain in order to destroy the Ayakashi.

Bottle Episode
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_62907b90
comment
Bottle Episode: Done with "Trickster Treat", which may have been a contractual obligation; shot well after production had wrapped and not long before Power Rangers Megaforce started shooting. The episode uses no original footage recyling stuff from other episodes of Samurai, even recycling stuff from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger that normally would've been edited out, such as the Kuroko. It even features Mako standing in for Mia at one point, with only clever editing attempting to hide it. Only the main 6 Rangers were in this with no supporting characters. "Stuck on Christmas" did it as well, though it actually used original footage, mainly the Megazord cockpit and the Shiba house intertwined into a Clip Show. Also of note this episode used very little Shinkenger footage and the main unmorphed fight scene was recycled from an earlier episode. Plus none of the actors minus those for Ji, Bulk and Spike appeared in this with the ranger actors once again confined to the audio booth with Antonio mysteriously missing most likely due to the Shinkenger footage not featuring Shinken Gold.

Formula-Breaking Episode: While a Clip Show or other How We Got Here moments aren't unique, "Party Monsters" stands out by being told from the villain's perspective. Instead of the Rangers sitting around talking about their various battles, it takes places at a party in the afterlife, where the monsters are talking about how they were defeated.

 Power Rangers Samurai / int_6c3d1777
comment
Magic A Is Magic A: Unlike with Mystic Force, Samurai sticks with the magic system set by Shinkenger. For example, the symbol to enlarge the Zords has been changed from 大 (dai, or "big") to 超 (which Shinkenger used to merge the support Origami with Shinken-Oh), but it fits as it means ch� or "super", accounting for the Rangers' Mega Mode as well. Of note also are the different kanji that Kevin tries to use to reel in the Swordfish Zord in "Fish Out of Water" - most of them are related to fishing.

Put on a Bus: Dayu and Deker basically disappeared from the first stretch of Super Samurai, Dayu having ditched Xandred and Deker presumably "destroyed", before both of them turning up in "Kevin's Choice". Later, Xandred took some episodes off to recover after overexerting himself in "The Master Returns".

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Weird example. The automorph toys had masks covering their "civilian" faces because they were being made while casting was still going on, so the toy makers couldn't know what the unmorphed Rangers looked like. As a result, the masks were added to the show's Transformation Sequence to justify their presence. The reason why Bulk's scenes are so limited, and he rarely interacts with the rangers (despite having done so multiple times at this point in the franchise) is due to Paul Schrier being unable to relocate to New Zealand - meaning that either they come up with an entirely new character, or they include him, but in a very limited way (they went with the latter).

As of "Boxed In", this trope is subverted to some degree (while Genta manages to finish the Inroumaru in the corresponding episode, Antonio is unable to do the same for the Black Box, thus delaying the team's Super Mode). The next episode pretty much completely rewrites Dayu and Deker's histories, making both quite sympathetic.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: There are conflicting pieces of information as to what country it's located in. The citizens and English writing of the town suggest that it is in America, but there are some locations that imply it to be in Japan. Notably, "The Tengen Gate" implies that the titular gate, the site of the Nighlok's first defeat, is not too far from the Samurai Rangers' hometown. However, the introduction in each episode points out that the Nighloks first appeared in feudal Japan, making things more difficult to sort out. There is also the temple in "There Go The Brides," as well as the torii seen in "An Unexpected Arrival," to add to the confusion. "The Bullzord" gives us the titular zord, "first brought into being by symbol power" then locked up by the original samurais... and apparently it's within walking distance of the Shiba house since a 9 year old boy run away from home to the Shiba house to get help releasing it. "The Strange Case of the Munchies" adds more confusion as Mia's driver's license says her address is Panorama City, PR 649815. Problem here is that no American city has a 6-digit ZIP code and since Antonio is the only person on the show to speak Spanish, albeit badly, that pretty much rules out Puerto Rico. American money is seen on at least a couple of occasions such as when Bulk pays some bikers $5 to be security in "He's Not Heavy Metal He's My Brother". "A Crack in the World" reuses Shinkenger footage of a bird's-eye view of Honshu, though the entire island is never seen all at once so those who don't know better might see it as just a peninsula somewhere.

Filling the Silence: During segments utilizing sentai footage (including Megazord fights), everyone is ridiculously chatty, including the Monster of the Week.

The majority of it is played for laughs, especially when he starts to spoil, up to and including nearly getting eaten by a cat (his faint after changing back was one of the funniest parts of the episode.) In the next episode, "Something Fishy," Antonio is completely shell-shocked by the whole thing, and the situation's played almost entirely seriously.

Wham Episode: "The Tengen Gate".

"The Master Returns" has Xandred temporarily arriving on Earth to effortlessly beat all the Rangers, shrug off all of their attacks, hitting Jayden hard enough to de-morph and seriously injure him, and sending Serrator running in fear. Note that he does all of this while rapidly drying out!

He's also waist-high. Then he comes up with the poisoning plot and takes the field personally. And he is a really powerful fighter, doing more damage than Dayu or Deker, the more standard Dragons.

Behind the Black: In Antonio's introductory episode he's on the run from Kevin and Emily. They stop to have a loud discussion about where Jayden is and what kind of help he needs before running off. Antonio promptly emerges from behind a wall that they really should have been able to see past, especially considering he's dragging his fish cart along with him.

Weird example. The automorph toys had masks covering their "civilian" faces because they were being made while casting was still going on, so the toy makers couldn't know what the unmorphed Rangers looked like. As a result, the masks were added to the show's Transformation Sequence to justify their presence.

Foreshadowing
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Like in the original Sentai series, during a fight with Negatron, Jayden was called a liar and was said to have a secret. Episode 10 even ends with Ji telling him "we'll tell them when the time is right". Many episodes after have references to "the secret". Not to mention all the times they refer to Dayu's past in "There Go The Brides". And this exchange between Dayu and Monster of the Week Madimot from "I've Got A Spell On Blue." And the distrust towards Deker. "The Tengen Gate," in addition to reminding viewers about Jayden's secret, also foreshadows a bit of Dayu and Deker's back story, which is fleshed out in "Broken Dreams". "Origins Part 1", like its counterpart, gives us the line from Kevin "I didn't know the Red Ranger was a girl". Part of Jayden's secret is that the true Red Ranger really IS a girl.

Not So Stoic: Jayden.

Combining Mecha: The main team shares the Samurai Megazord, and it can then join with the Clawzord to form the Claw Armor Megazord. The secondary zords can combine, too; the Beetle, Tiger, and Swordfish form the Samurai Battlewing and those three plus the Octozord are the Samurai Battle Cannon. Finally, all of the above mecha can combine with the Bull Zord and optionally the Shark Zord for the Samurai Gigazord.

Dayu does even less in most episodes, being more of a court musician than anything else, but even she masterminds more plans than Xandred.

However, not only is there no indication of this during the duel in question, but Jayden all but ignores this implication for the rest of the show while the other rangers don't even believe that it's true. Despite a Call-Back to these feelings made by Deker before their final fight, It's in no way built upon for the entirety of the battle, the one place where it ought to be relevant

Lost in Translation: Much of Shinkenger's references to Japanese Mythology don't really cross over well into Samurai, in part because the symbolism just isn't that well known in the West. For example, the main villains of the season are based on the Seven Gods of Luck, while the Sanzu River is analogous to the River Styx.

Fleeting Demographic Rule: The last time that Power Rangers had this many puns and this much Japanese culture was Power Rangers Ninja Storm, eight years before.

Ninja Storm itself is this to the third season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, also with an eight year gap. Freaky.

Hero Secret Service: Though not nearly to the extent of Shinkenger, the Samurai Rangers seem to have a small support network of allies (seen in "The Tengen Gate" and "The BullZord").

The Sanzu River is one to the Nighloks, as nobody can last long away from the river before they dry out. Only a monster and some Mooks are able to go out at a time, trying to increase peoples' despair and sorrow in order to make the Sanzu's water level rise until it seeps into and floods the human world.

Of course, with a title like "Clash of the Red Rangers", what do you expect?

Aesop Amnesia
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_c435ec5d
comment
Aesop Amnesia: Due to the Compressed Adaptation involved in translating Shinken Red's characterization to Samurai Red, Jayden is forced to essentially learn to accept being part of a team twice in a row. note  Shinkenger involved Takeru having to accept applying teamwork to his future battles alongside the others, with the entire point of his characterization from then on involving him having to balance sidling up to the idea with some subtle Blood Knight tendencies; leaving him flawed enough to have to re-learn it. In Samurai, Jayden acknowledges this moral and accepts it the first time it's a major issue. Minus a Handwave, Samurai all but ignores the Blood Knight angle completely from then on... giving no reason for Jayden to re-learn it a second time.

Plan B Resolution: Much like its Super Sentai counterpart, a driving theme was that it seemed the only thing that could stop Master Xandred for good was the sealing symbol of the Red Ranger. Unfortunately, when Lauren used it on Xandred, it had no affect on him as he was no longer pure Nighlok due to absorbing Dayu. Fortunately, Jayden had a plan B: taking him out with brute force by striking the spot where Dayu was absorbed.

In "The Blue and the Gold," Antberry has to chop up thirty toys to create a portal to the Sanzu River from a well. In Shinkenger, however, this plan involved chopping up a group of young girls, something that probably would have been considered too sinister for a children's show on American TV.

Shout-Out
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Beetle Zord's combination with the Samurai Megazord is called the Beetle Blaster Megazord. Antonio, Large Ham and Gadgeteer Genius, and just to hammer it home, Antonio can also mean "Tony". Interestingly, Mia actually says "this isn't my first rodeo" in "Clash of the Red Rangers", in different context from Agent Coulson of course. Antonio uses a quick-draw style with a Reverse Grip, much like a certain blind swordsman. One of Spike's Pink Ranger dreams has a tied up Mia proclaiming "Help me, Samurai Warrior, you're my only hope!" In the "Origins" episodes, you can spot Totoro Drive in a map. Negatron addressing a bunch of chicks as "gossip girls" In "Clash of the Red Rangers" at one point Mike yells "It’s time to rage against the machine!" At the end of the Christmas Episode Bulk and Skull are seen riding the motorcycle Mike gave them past the moon, a la E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Three of them in "He Ain't Heavy Metal, He's My Brother": The title is inspired by a song from The Hollies, minus the "Metal". Bulk hiring bikers to work as bodyguards to protect them while they perform is a possible reference to when the Rolling Stones hired the Hells Angels biker gang to work as security at Altamont. Bulk and Spike's music act has them use the names Spikey Spike and the Fresh Bulk. And of course they had to include the line 'drop it like it's hot'. The duo also try wearing costumes in Bulk's garage, which resemble Daft Punk. The title of the 15th episode, "The Blue and the Gold" is probably a reference to a certain duo of superheroes.

Informed Ability: Some of the characters are described with traits that match their Shinkenger counterparts... but said traits haven't been displayed in Samurai. Also, Octoroo everytime tells Dayu or Master Xandred (and the audience) that the Monster of the Week is really evil, threatening and big and bad. Some monsters of the week also proclaim that they are very menacing, but they are shown to be the jerks at worst and are easily defeated and don't do anything that puts them to being actually evil. Averted more with the monsters that serve under Serrator. Heck the first of his monsters to appear wanted to get humans killed by other humans without even realizing it by switching their souls into objects. Also, Xandred is The Dreaded but in practice does nothing but sit around and complain in the vast majority of episodes. Yeah, he's unable to leave the Sanzu River (or, as we'll find out later, unable to leave it for long and then only at great cost) but the Big Bad of the previous series was one of the most menacing despite spending most of the series as a red light on a wall because he was quite a mastermind.

Fake Shemp: In the Power Rangers RPM crossover Antonio is only ever seen unmorphed from the back, and is dubbed by someone who sounds nothing like Steven Skyler. It's also thought to happen to Scott, credited as someone else and never demorphing, but that's more to union rules limiting the actor's appearance combined with the Shot-for-Shot Remake syndrome (for most of the episode, he's less Scott and more Sousuke Esumi by way of Scott's actor, and feels very un-Scott despite the same actor.)

Bonus points for the horse stance and the eggs, taken straight out of the Jackie Chan training handbook.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In episode 8 several civilians are in plain sight of the Nighlok fighting the Rangers and are too busy crying from the fact that the monster made it rain to run away. Justified in that said rain is supposed to make them feel too hopeless to even think of doing anything else. In "Jayden's Challenge," the young boy Jayden meets seems more interested in the paper airplane Jayden made than the fact that he made the plane from paper he summoned by drawing it in the air with his Samuraizer. Even though Jayden did tell him it was a trick of his, we don't hear anything like "wow! How did you do that?" from the kid.

Ship Tease: Mike with Emily, Jayden with Mia, Kevin with Mia, and Antonio with Lauren. In "Clash of the Red Rangers" Scott basically out right states that Emily and Mike have a thing for each other. Mia often disusses Jayden's problems like when she practices with him after he rejects Antonio from the team and in "Trust Me". Kevin and Mia are sort of shipped in "Deal With A Nighlok". Antonio and Lauren talk about Jayden and his past, and Antonio calls Lauren cool.

Hijacked by Jesus: A mild but interesting instance. The antagonists of Shinkenger were overall themed around Youkai, but Xandred on the other hand was given a few traits of a Big Red Devil. This leads straight into the rewrite of Juzo/Deker and Dayu's relationship. Shinkenger's Juzo and Dayu were humans whose respective sinful obsessions warped them into monsters (a common origin in quite a few Japanese folk tales), while Dayu in Samurai was made a sympathetic character who made a Deal with the Devil with Xandred, something he hardly had the ability to do in the original show.

Dub Name Change
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_e2c4b927
comment
Dub Name Change: The Green Ranger's element has been changed from "Wood" to "Forest", likely because it avoids possible Double Entendre jokes or just sounds cooler. It even works with the kanji, as 森 (mori; the "forest" kanji) is pretty much a large 木 (ki; the "wood"/"tree" kanji, used in Shinkenger) stacked on two smaller 木. Averted with Dayu, Ji, the Sanzu River, and the Shiba family, who all keep their Shinkenger names in some form or another (the Usukawa part of the Japanese Dayu's name didn't carry over, and Ji was just a nickname in Shinkenger).

Determinator: In addition to the Rangers themselves, Negatron earns special mention. He just keeps trying to insult Emily despite the fact she doesn't feel any emotional pain from them rendering his powers useless. Taken to crazy extremes when he actually tries to insult the Megazord itself! Emily herself also counts because even when his insults do strike true she pushes through to continue the fight, and after the fight, she passes out due to how much she took. Emily has her spirit (soul) taken and manages to wake up to give a pep talk to her team... sort of. Jayden staying up all night to master the Beetle Disk kind of counts, but presents a surprising deconstruction (or Broken Aesop, depending on how cynical you are) as the moral of the episode is that it's actually not very useful to push yourself too far. Kevin spends so much time and energy focusing on catching the Swordfish Zord, he ends up suffering from heat stroke, and even then goes right back to his mission the minute he wakes up.

Adaptation Species Change
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_e8497e34
comment
Adaptation Species Change: The Kyoryu (Dinosaur) Origami is now the Shark Sword/Zord. Its toy got some fins added to it to look more sharklike, but the TV footage wasn't altered at all. (The toy version of the Light Zord similarly got retooled to become something else - a paper lantern to a spider - but this change doesn't apply to the show.) Oddly enough, squid-themed Shitari's been renamed Octoroo and Ika Origaminote Also a squid. became the Octo Zord, giving the One-Steve Limit its second kick in the face.

Monster of the Week
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_e9604359
comment
Arachnitor is an interesting example of a Monster of the Week that actually tried his hand at becoming Starscreamy to Master Xandred. Sadly, his attempt to overthrow him and become the new leader of the Nighloks didn't end so well for him, and he ended up being mutated through Cold-Blooded Torture as punishment for his betrayal.

No Full Name Given: We've heard of no surnames for half of the main characters. The ones we do know are Antonio Garcia, Jayden Shiba, Mia Watanabe; and long-known Farkus Bulkmeier and Spike Skullovitch, by virtue of his father Eugene. Kevin, Mike, Emily, and Ji, nor Deker and Dayu haven't had theirs mentioned.

Sequel Number Snarl
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_eaa1c5b5
comment
Sequel Number Snarl: The cause of some big ones for the franchise. First, it was referred to as Season 19 when it launched, placing the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Re-Cut as an official season. Second, it was stretched over two years as two 20-episode seasons; and delaying Samurai's end until 2012 brought a lot of questions regarding how they were going to handle potential Goseiger and Gokaiger adaptations if Gokaiger was to be used as a 20th Milestone Celebration in 2013. They ultimately merged both Goseiger and Gokaiger into Power Rangers Megaforce. As of Megaforce Samurai Mighty Morphin' Re-Cut is no longer considered a numbered season.

 Power Rangers Samurai / int_eb8e4fa8
comment
A smaller one is the much maligned decision by Mentor Ji to take Antonio's morpher away. While it does happen in Shinkenger, Jii does have much stronger reasons for doing it. Namely that Genta is an even bigger doofusnote Genta showed up at the Shiba household looking like a ridiculous Samurai caricature and generally wasn't taking things seriously despite insistence's to the contrary. than Antonio is, and the Sushi Changer was at least partially created using the power of both the Octopus Origami and a Hidden Disk that Takeru had given him, so Jii at least is taking back something that rightfully belongs to the Shiba household because of its origin. The omission of the tinier details causes the scene to take on a very different tone than the original, making Mentor Ji out to be an Elitist Jerkass rather than well intentioned but harsh.note To be fair, it’s treated as a dick move In-Universe, with the Rangers struggling to justify it and Ji eventually apologising and returning it

Comedic Underwear Exposure: During the training sequence in "The Team Unites", a rougher stunt causes Kevin's pants to go down, revealing his blue boxer shorts. Happens to Bulk and Spike when Negatron blasts them with an insult. And Antonio inadvertently rips his own pants when he arrives at the Shiba house in #12.

Shot-for-Shot Remake
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_f25ab7c5
comment
Shot-for-Shot Remake: One of the biggest complaints against Samurai is that they're trying to replicate Shinkenger as closely as possible. Not only does this make it basically reruns for anyone who's seen Shinkenger, but because of Values Dissonance, they simply aren't able to do it as well. As of "Boxed In", this trope is subverted to some degree (while Genta manages to finish the Inroumaru in the corresponding episode, Antonio is unable to do the same for the Black Box, thus delaying the team's Super Mode). The next episode pretty much completely rewrites Dayu and Deker's histories, making both quite sympathetic.

Never Say "Die"
 Power Rangers Samurai / int_f51c5f3c
comment
Sure, pretty standard fare for Power Rangers, but it's especially noticable with the kids in "Deal with a Nighlok" and "Jayden's Challenge"; their problems were switched to fathers far away for their jobs from a dead grandfather in the former, and in the latter a father who'd actually died in a recent monster attack. It's especially baffling given that other series haven't shied away from people having someone die in the backstory, and Never Say "Die" has usually presented as simply finding alternatives to the word. Pretending nothing really bad ever has or can happen to anyone is definitely new. But the second half goes Darker and Edgier and bad things definitely do happen to good people.

Insult Backfire: A plot point in "Sticks and Stones", when the Nighlok Negatron converts mental anguish, caused by insults, into physical pain. Emily is immune, because her sister helped her when she was bullied as a child. He even lampshades it with his last words: "My insults backfired!" Also happens when one of the Rangers calls Negatron a bully. He replies that its 'the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me'.

Shown Their Work: Samurai changes some of the kanji used in Shinkenger, but the new kanji are still relevant to the action onscreen. Let's take an example from "Broken Dreams": in the original, Takeru writes 夢 ("dream") to allow Ryunosuke and Chiaki to jump into Genta's dream; in the adaptation, Jayden writes 門 ("portal" as he calls it, but loosely it means "gate") to open the passage for Kevin and Mike to enter Antonio's dream. The face in the belt of Shogun Mode is based off actual belt buckles worn by certain noble samurai.
