Power Rangers Samurai Megazord 31576 TV KW 41-46

Product Information

Monk Spades: Flying Moogers were only ever seen using the same giant spears as their contemporaries. Xandred regularly has a headache. And in "Deal With A Nighlok", the monster throws his staff into the ground in a particularly familiar fashion. Also the series started airing the final episodes in Latin America a couple months before the United States. What Happened to the Mouse?: In "Clash of the Red Rangers", Sharkjaw isn't so much as mentioned again after jumping off Xandred's boat. Restraints: Unlike their normal sized counterparts however, the giant Moogers' monk spades doubled as restraints since (when wedged in the Samurai Megazord's joints) could render it completely immobile.

Love Bubbles: Well, little floating hearts, but in Spike's first Imagine Spot of the Pink Ranger, they're there, even as she's slashing Moogers. Lampshade Hanging: During "Party Monsters" the villains reference how the Rangers always turn away right before they explode, referring to it again later as "The Pose". Mia is an Asian samurai Ranger whose last name is shown on her driver's licence to be Watanabe. Power Rangers Ninja Storm had Cameron Watanabe, an Asian samurai Ranger. Gosei Morpher - Robo Morpher - Legendary Morpher - Legendary Silver Morpher - Power Cards - Legendary Ranger Keys - Mega Blaster - Super Mega Blaster - Super Mega Saber - Dragon Sword - Phoenix Shot - Snake Axe - Tiger Claw - Shark Bowgun - Megaforce Blaster - Robo Blaster - Super Silver Spear - Ultra Mode - Ultra Sword - Super Mega Mode - Super Mega Cannon - Legendary Ranger Modes It was a formula that saved him and money, as far as creating a kids show goes, and it worked. Since then, over the course of 22 different versions of the superpowered team--if you include the short-lived Alien Rangers--the franchise has continued to reinvent itself again and again.

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.

This is the first series not to have a character on the villains’ side have a change of heart, reform, or side with the Power Rangers at all. Downer Ending: Episode 17 "The Tengen Gate" ends with Jayden poisoned and kidnapped by Deker, Mia, Emily, Mike and Kevin defeated by Aracnator and Master Xandred unleashing a bunch of giant moogers and spitfangs.Villains Act, Heroes React: As is the norm for Power Rangers, we generally get a MOTW appearing with an Evil Plan Once an Episode, with our heroes then arriving on the scene to stop them. 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.

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. Combat Commentator: Deker during the Jayden/Kevin fight in "I've Got A Spell On Blue", though he's doing more color/analysis than play-by-play.Lothor - Marah - Kapri - Zurgane - Choobo - Motodrone - Vexacus - Shimazu - Kelzaks - Kelzak Furies 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. The "Origins" episode hints at Kevin being the Prince Charming figure that Mia is waiting to meet... Cultural Translation: Dayu's Harmonium is a Shamishen as named in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. May have been a case of Did Not Do the Research as a harmonium is a type of keyboard instrument not a guitar or banjo like instrument. This was the only personal Zord of a Ninja Storm Ranger to survive the last battle. Lothor had sent Marah and Kapri damaged the system that opened the Samurai Star's portal. It currently lies dormant in its hiding place since the loss of the Green Samurai Powers.

The scene changes to Kevin at the beach. Kevin used his Symbol Power to summon a fishing pole and putting the Catch Disc onto the fishing pole. Improbable Weapon User: Light Zord's two-piece stand-by mode; a disc-shooting lantern and jitte (essentially a blunt dagger). Nice Hat: The Samurai Megazord has a nice samurai helmet, and the Artillery Zords' main contributions to the Samurai Megazord are new helmets. 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.Informed Ability: Some of the characters are described with traits that match their Shinkenger counterparts... but said traits haven't been displayed in Samurai.
