For Wild Mass Guessing about the rest of the franchise, see Power Rangers.
- But the Nighloks clearly think that Jayden is the head.
- Jossed. Jayden's secret is that he is actually not the real head of the Shiba House. Rather, it's his older sister, Lauren (played by New Zealand actress Kimberly Crossman), who will appear as Samurai Ranger Fire, the Red Ranger in the final five episodes of the season proper. Confirmed here http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Lauren_Shiba
- Not going to happen
- Though in the upcoming Tengan gate episode his uncle (Lothor/Sensai Watanambe) plays a role as Daisuke the Temple Elder.
- Why are we getting previous villains to play Good Guys? I mean we got Emperor Grumm as Jii and now Lothor as a Temple Elder?
- Even Fridgier why are former Lead Good Guys playing Badguys? Flynn was a monster voice, COLE is freaking Decker. Though to be fair Daisuke is also Sensai Watanabe so he's only HALF evil.
- The odd MOTW being voiced by PR alumni is far from a new phenomenon, though.
- Jossed, role of Gold Ranger has been cast and it's not Spike.
- What?! But that would have been so awesome!
- It really is a shame. A Skull Expy would have been perfect for Genta's PR counterpart.
- Ah but in Shinkenger they have the american Mr. Brown who wanted to train as a Samurai, he's overweight and a bit goofish, a perfect fir for....BULK!
- Thought it appears that they didn't adapt that episode either.
- According to Paul he did work on a episode that was 80% Bulk and Spike so maybe it just hasn't aired yet?
- What?! But that would have been so awesome!
- It's set in 2012
- Megan who? Is there some source of information about Season 18 that I'm not seeing?
- This. (Read the rest of the topic, proof is provided.)
- Yeah, that's totally Kaoru. But why are they casting her so early...?
- Because for once they can. That's the advantage of having the entire season in front of you instead of part of it.
- This. (Read the rest of the topic, proof is provided.)
- That would work, since it's pretty obvious RPM takes place in an alternate universe and the ominous glowing light from the RPM Morphers at the end of RPM that suggest Venjix is still running. And with it so close to the Morphing Grid from there... It'd be a neat twist.
- Probably jossed since according to Johnathan Tzachor Ninja Storm-RPM never happened
- Well, damn. That's going to make the gokaiger adaptation even more tricky.
- Not really, there have been several occasions where a season was declared to be out of continuity with previous seasons and every single time it turned out to be a lie. Also, notice that the seasons he declared never happened are the only one's he didn't work on.
- Johnathan Tzachor lives in his own fantasy world, according to him MMP Rs 2 is out of Continuity with S1, in fact every season is it's own continuity, yes including In Space to Turbo. it's just Ninja Storm- RPM are EVEN LESS in continuity. According to him each of the "more in continuity seasons" had analogous events to their past take place so MMPRS 2 had events similar to S1 but NOT S1 take place. Also according to him the Turbo Rangers go to Eltar and somehow save Zordon...without their powers. Has your brain exploded yet? You can find wet naps on the table to my right.
- Confirmed. The team-up is coming out in Thanksgiving.
- And Jossed: None of that happens during it.
- Probably jossed since according to Johnathan Tzachor Ninja Storm-RPM never happened
- It's obvious that in this case the entire team is just a Guard for her.
- Confirmed (mostly)
- He was the first samurai themed ranger after all. It could be possible he founded his own academy to exist alongside the Wind Ninja Academy and was able to create new samurai ranger powers based on his old ranger form.
- That's not a bad idea, Tommy came back for the second dinosaur season so why can't Cam come back for the samurai season? Also with it being a quasi-sequel to Affectionate Self-Parody Ninja Storm there's less reason to try and cut out or explain away all the Super Sentai goofery.
- Jossed
- Or is it? Mia's last name is revealed to be Watanabe, same as Cam's.
- That's not a bad idea, Tommy came back for the second dinosaur season so why can't Cam come back for the samurai season? Also with it being a quasi-sequel to Affectionate Self-Parody Ninja Storm there's less reason to try and cut out or explain away all the Super Sentai goofery.
- Saban will try to do again what it did with Masked Rider. The crossover footage is already there for them to use this time though. And going one step further, a Kamen Rider Decade adaption will be a whole series of Poorly Disguised Pilots for several potential Kamen Rider adaptions, with special appearances by Kamen Rider Dragon Knight.
- Except Tsukasa didn't transform into Decade at all during ep #20 of Shinkenger. The only time Decade fought alongside the Shinkengers was during the Decade eps.
- That's what I meant. Saban can use the footage from the Decade episodes.
- Confirmed, probably - I heard that Saban had bought those two episodes of Decade.
- No, it's jossed.
- Except Tsukasa didn't transform into Decade at all during ep #20 of Shinkenger. The only time Decade fought alongside the Shinkengers was during the Decade eps.
- Also, Kabuto ShinkenOh, et al. are reminiscent of the Zeo Battle Helmets.
- AND the Samurai zords can transform into their kanji, just like the Super Zeo Zords transformed into their shapes.
- There's also the Gold Ranger, and the five individual symbols as part of the team symbols... yeah, they could definitely retcon Zeo into this.
- Jossed
- It's Decade's fault.
- Possibly Jossed. Episode 1 revealed the character's name was changed from Takeru to Master Ji.
- Takeru could still be his first name with Ji being his last.
- Also Ji means old man in japanese so I am pretty sure Ji isn't his actual name, just a formal title for their mentor.
- Possibly Jossed. Episode 1 revealed the character's name was changed from Takeru to Master Ji.
- With a magenta Blackbird Fly.
- Jossed - episode skipped.
- They also skipped the first three episodes of the series, It's possible they may have just moved those episodes to later in production to have more time to develop their concept for Decade.
- Shinkenger Act 3 is Samurai episode 1, only the first two Acts were skipped.
- Episodes 1 and 2 of Shinkenger are episodes 19 and 20 of Samurai. Filming is finished and filming for the next season is about to begin, so we now know that Decade won't appear, period. WMG Jossed.
- Unjossed and confirmed, actually - this WMG said there wouldn't be a Poorly Disguised Pilot for the show. No Shout-Out though.
- Jossed - episode skipped.
- Two words. Shinken. Brown.
- This would also be a fantastic opportunity for Skull to guest-star.
- And lets not forget his Moment of Awesome when he lead the citizens of Angel Grove against Quantrons in the Grand Finale.
If the Forever Red Wordof God holds and Kim is married to Skull, Kim would be Spike's Mom. Of course what this doesn't answer is whether Kimberly is the biological or adoptive mother.
- Let's do a little math here. Spike's actor has apparently said that the character is 15-years-old. For Spike to be 15-years-old, he would have to have been conceived during Zeo, the season in which Kim sends the infamous Dear John letter. Wild Mass Guess to your heart's content.
- However, Spike's actor has also said that Bulk is Spike's literal uncle. Clearly this means that all of the time travel in the series has altered the characters' ancestry to the point that Bulk and Kimberly are now brother and sister.
- Or that Skull knocked up Bulk's sister, then married Kim.
- Or God is wrong and Skull never married Kim.
- Or Kim is Spike's Mom and Bulk married Skull's sister.
- The problem with that particular Word of God is that Kimberly sent that letter to Tommy while she was overseas, with implication that whoever she'd met, they were very serious about their relationship, so how in the hell did she wind up marrying Skull when she hasn't been seen in ages? ....Come to think of it, how the hell did Bulk even get Back to Earth??
- I didn't know Florida was overseas. Learn something new every day.
- Obvious he hitched a ride with the Galaxy Rangers when they teamed up with the Light Speed Rangers
- Jossed by Word of God. http://www.rangercrew.com/forum/showthread.php?22727-Power-Rangers-Super-Samurai-Discussion&p=1011145&viewfull=1#post1011145
- This makes so much sense... perhaps after the possible Decade reference, after all, Decade did have a Kamen Rider Skull card.
- That could explain why Spike is living with Bulk; it's not exactly easy to raise a child and run a detective agency with a full-time apprentice, if the original Kamen Rider Skull is anything to go by.
- Wait. In the Power Rangers verse, Masked Riders are uniformly Endenoian royalty (the series is cast out of canon, but the Poorly Disguised Pilot, which was more than a little different, wasn't). Does this mean Skull is Dex's long lost brother or something?
- He can be a Rider in everything but name
- He can't be a Masked Rider, but he can be a Kamen Rider. Semantics, it's fun.
- I'm going to have to say that given the fact that the Kamen Rider term is trademarked with a different company right now, I'd call that a licensing nightmare, and probably meaning they can't use the term. The term Power Rider has recently been trademarked by Saban though, according to the page for Decade....so make of that what you will. Maybe he could be Power Rider Skull?
- He can be a Rider in everything but name
- The Power Rangers in Space/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles team-up happened because they had suits from The Next Mutation. Nick's version of TMNT will be CGI. I don't think there'll be a team-up.
- Unless they animate the Rangers into TMNT... they definitely work together thematically, and they would have a ninja vs samurai rivalry.
- Nick would be stupid not to at least do a one way cross over considering they air both shows and CANNONICALLY the rangers and turtles have met, heck the PRIS episode can be put on a TMNT promo block
- Nick has no say in what goes on in the show. They just air the show. Seeing how Power Rangers Samurai has been directly adapting episodes from Shikenger nearly scene from scene this WMG has been...JOSSED
- Has no say? They own the IP rights to the Turtles. Let me repeat that: Nickelodeon OWNS the Ninja Turtles lock, stock, and barrel. If they want to do a crossover between them and something else they own? You bet your ass they'd do it if it would get better ratings. The problem would be what they would cross them with. It won't be the Rangers, of course, unless they do an episode with as little stock footage as possible (which Saban did when they had the rights to the Turtles for Next Mutation, so if Nick gives them the rights to use the Turtles, we could see a new crossover between them, but it's highly unlikely) then yeah, the crossover theory is pretty well jossed.
- Toy Fair 2011 scans of what appears to be this season's Battlizer, have Jayden in his Mega Mode.
- Confirmed. He has amnesia and knew Dayu as a human. That wasn't the case in Shinkenger.
- Bulk obviously fits the body type better, keeping the comedic value of a heavyset man appearing out of nowhere dressed up in full kendo gear.
- Possibly jossed, we're past that episode now, it got skipped.
- Tiger Twister, maybe?
- The Swordfish one was the Swordfish Fencer Megazord.
- Slasher was a bad idea to begin with
- The Tiger one is the Tiger Drill Megazord.
- The Swordfish one was the Swordfish Fencer Megazord.
- Squid Striker?
- When the Squid Origami got named Octozord?
- The Octozord Megazord upgrade is called Octo-Spear Megazord.
- When the Squid Origami got named Octozord?
- Shark Saber Megazord?
- You've never actually seen an episode with Genta in it, have you?
- Jossed by Word Of Jesus, Felix, the actor for Spike also Auditioned for the Gold Ranger and revealed they were very similar in personality, though Spike was a better fit for him.
- Kyoryu is already associated with the Hyper Shinkenger power-up.
- I believe the original poster meant that Kyoryu would activate the Battlizer instead of Hyper Shinkenger.
- (OP here) Shpingo.
- Kyoryu part jossed, the crossover shows it activates Hyper Shinkenger mode, renamed Shark Attack Mode.
- I believe the original poster meant that Kyoryu would activate the Battlizer instead of Hyper Shinkenger.
- This video contains a clip confirming that Bulk knows that the Samurai Rangers exist; whether or not he knows their true identities remains to be seen.
- In "Forever Red", Bulk and Skull clearly knew who Tommy was. They definitely could've been kept in the loop.
- Or that could have been from the time his eyes shot green lightning at their feet which propelled them into a dumpster.
- In "Forever Red", Bulk and Skull clearly knew who Tommy was. They definitely could've been kept in the loop.
- Jossed
- Maybe the sixth Ranger morpher
- Maybe one of the Zord disks
- Maybe the super mode disk
- Maybe the battlizer
- Sixth ranger morpher and super mode jossed - we've seen the Gold Samurai Morpher and "black box" (the Inroumaru from Shinkenger which grants super mode)
- Exactly what I was about to post here! I was thinking that Takeru (Well...Kaoru) and Jayden are descended from the same Shiba clan, except that Takeru is from a branch that stayed in Japan, and that Jayden is from a branch that moved to America and has diluted Japanese blood.
- Perhaps, Wesley will only be the Gold Ranger for a short period of time. After which, Spike will become the Gold Ranger.
- Remember what happened with the first Gold Ranger- injured too badly to keep fighting, and the powers passed on to a pre-existing character? They might do something similar.
- The problem with this theory, of course, is that this season is being very faithful to the Sentai.
- Wesley won't be the Gold Ranger at all; they've changed his name to Antonio.
- But that doesn't really change much about the situation.
- Jossed by what actually happened in the show
- In A Fish Out of Water we see Mentor contacting Keven with what looks vaguely like a gold Samuraizer (although it looks more similar in shape to the Shinkenger model). This could mean he used to be the Gold Ranger and will pass the powers on to Wesley when he shows up.
- It could have just been the lighting; in Shinkenger, Ji had a Shodophone made of wood.
- Jossed
- It could have just been the lighting; in Shinkenger, Ji had a Shodophone made of wood.
- There have already been all sorts of rumours about Ricardo returning to the series, but now Deker has shown up, he does sound awfully like him. And at the end of episode five, you can very briefly hear a lion's roar.
- For all we know it could be just an Actor Allusion / Mythology Gag. Cole doesn't seem like a character who would fall easily under a spell.
- Possibly confirmed in "I've Got a Spell on Blue". Deker took human form an appeared as Ricardo Medina Jr., the actor who played Cole. It might be Cole, or simply the same actor playing a completely separate character.
- Rene Naufahu played Emperor Gruumm prior to this, so I think it's the same situation with Ricardo Medina Jr. Same actor, but entirely different character.
- Emperor Grumm's human appearance was copied from a civilian. It's possible that said civilian was Mentor Jii.
- No it isn't. SPD is set in 2025, that's 14 years away. This civilian is 20 years younger than Jii (SPD was made in 2005, six years ago).
- When he was younger Jii went to the future by some means, and later returned to his own time period.
- Or Jii had some Doc Brown-style youth treatments, making him live longer and look younger.
- Emperor Grumm's human appearance was copied from a civilian. It's possible that said civilian was Mentor Jii.
- Maybe at some point after Wildforce, Cole travelled back in time and then became a samurai, married Dayu, died, and was resurrected by Serrator.
- No, the Samurai powers are passed on from ancestors and we know Deker has no relation to Jayden
- His actor, however, previously played as a Red Ranger.
- That causes some continuity problems since if RPM even is in the normal Power Rangers verse it's in the future and Time Travel isn't accessable or they really would have used it to go back in time to stop Venjix.
- Since RPM is in an Alternate Universe, they could probably have some dimensional travel in the crossover, rather than time travel.
- I don't buy the Alternate Universe idea. They've said it multiple times since Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
- The Alternate Universe idea could still be plausible, especially given that the Go-onger Vs Shinkenger crossover movie had a similar concept.
- I got a good idea to keep RPM in the timeline, yet void Earth from being ruin by Viglax! Coirth is on a planet in M85 Galaxy! (The M85 Galaxy is NOT' the Lost Galaxy, the ex-home of Rita, Rito and Master Vile.) That will make RPM Rangers and Dr. K aliens!
- But we see overhead shots of the earth. It clearly takes place in the US. Also, Flynn is from Scotland.
- Look at the title sequence again, Corinth looks more like East Africa than US. And for the record, this troper also does not buy the alternate universe idea.
- Jossed because Executive Producer Jonathan Tzachor said that Ninja Storm-RPM aren't canon anymore
- Executive Producer Jonathan Tzachor's words on what material previously depicted as canonical are not canonical are not reliable.
- Not jossed. Somebody posted the names of the RPM cast for a Samurai episode on IMDB.
- Anyone can edit the information on that site, so take this news with a grain of salt.
- RPM crossover confirmed. http://www.cynopsis.com/editions/kids/092711/
- Since RPM is in an Alternate Universe, they could probably have some dimensional travel in the crossover, rather than time travel.
- Confirmed-ish. It was aired as a single, hour-long episode, but episode guides are listing it as "Part 1" and "Part 2". I assume when its eventually aired in its proper chronological order, it'll be split into two episodes.
- We see Jayden's father in flashbacks in ep. 10, but there's still a possibility that:
- that guy took on the mantle after Deker was kicked out
- Deker's actually his ancestor instead (how old is he supposed to be anyways?)
- A couple centuries, at least, so ancestor seems more probable, especially since we've now seen Jayden's father's face.
- Jossed darlings
- Except totally ruining Dr. K's character development, and she along with Gem and Gemma would be in Alphabet Soup for the rest of her life.
- Unless of course they destroy Alphabet Soup to stop Venjix from being created in the first place, thus saving both the world and Doctor K and Gem and Gemma.
- Except totally ruining Dr. K's character development, and she along with Gem and Gemma would be in Alphabet Soup for the rest of her life.
- Jossed. It's explained in the crossover as an alternate universe.
- RPM only did that to explain the Gunjiro bus (which has GO-ONGER in big letters on the side) in the background of a fight scene. It did also allow them to use a few extra scenes of Go-onger footage.
- Considering he was a main villain from episodes 27 to 43 in Shinkenger, unlikely. Especially considering the episodes we've already seen, which have been nearly exactly the same.
- Jossed; Akumaro is here, and he is re-named Serrator. And he's just as bad.
- Considering he was a main villain from episodes 27 to 43 in Shinkenger, unlikely. Especially considering the episodes we've already seen, which have been nearly exactly the same.
- We know now that "Skull" comes from the last name Skullevich so that much is confirmed.
- Jossed - I don't think Spike would name a teddy bear he won at a theme park after himself! (It's called Sammy, as in Samurai)
- Well, if he keeps up with the theme of embarrassing first names from his dad and uncle, how about Sigmund?
- Jossed - I don't think Spike would name a teddy bear he won at a theme park after himself! (It's called Sammy, as in Samurai)
- Jossed by Word of God.
- Jayden died as a child and they've been fighting alongside a being made of paper and Mojikara. Hey, it worked once...
- Jayden isn't even allowed to be Red because his ancestor was Deker
- an elaborate Bait-and-Switch has been in motion and Mike is the real Red (assuming they keep the bit with Green using the Kyoryumaru and Hyper longcoat)
- An even more elaborate Bait-and-Switch and Antonio is the real Red Ranger. His lack of Symbol Power is from a deliberate lack of training. If he can't control it than he can't be used to open the portal.
- Jossed so friggin hard.
- Because Jedi are well-known for morphing, piloting mechs, and practicing caligraphy.
- I refer you to this statement "the Power Rangers themselves fade into the mists of history" :P.
- The relevance of that is debatable. The Morphing Grid Thingy would have to go through a series of small changes in function to provide a merging and reduction of power level, as Jedi work on a different planetary continuum GALAXY, note.
- I refer you to this statement "the Power Rangers themselves fade into the mists of history" :P.
- It would allow the writers to skip a good portion of the final episodes and allow them to keep it within the 40 episode count while maybe taking a few scenes from those later episodes such as Takeru vs Juzo footage for Jayden and Deker and Kaoru footage for the Princess. Speaking of which...
- It would allow the writers to introduce the Princess earlier and they could change the reasons behind both her and Akumaro. For example, they'll make it so that Xandred is actually working for Akumaro who is a bigger evil and has returned to exact his revenge on the Power Rangers (It would also make a nice Mythology Gag to the first Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers when Zedd kicked out Rita) while the Princess' exclusion and Jayden being the leader could be due to her training to face Akumaro on the day he returns rather than Xandred.
- Although it might not have been the intention, it would allow them to avoid the Sanzu River flooding scene. Even when it final airs, Nick or the writers might think it's a little too soon.
- By the time said episode arrives, it won't be too soon.
- Isn't the rule for too soon at least 2 years, Samurai is 2 seasons but we don't know if thats 1 season = 1 year or more analogous to Fiscal Quarters if the later the Final would b at the year mark, so it might be too soon
- By the time said episode arrives, it won't be too soon.
- In the episode The Tengen Gate, the elder briefly tells a story about a man and woman who became Nighloks to save the man's life; it's implied that the two were Deker and Dayu.
- Biggest confirmation came in Broken Dreams. When Dayu was sent to the dream world created by a Nighlok, Mia (who was also sent to the dream world) witnessed the entire story behind Deker and Dayu. The woman who would become Dayu was given a deal by a high-ranking Nighlok to revive an almost-dying Deker — only that Deker would become half-human, half-Nighlok, with no memories of her. Dayu then realized that she was tricked, and in her despair, became a Nighlok too. In addition, her harmonium was formerly a guitar-like instrument that was given to her by Deker as a wedding gift (Dayu also gave Deker a gift — a katana, which would later become the Uramasa).
- Doubtful given that he looks and sounds just like Skull.
- Jossed.
- Or they might just ditch it when they switch to Mega Mode.
- Confirmed via the toyline. Also applies to the Hyper Mode/Shark Attack mode.
- Given how close Samurai is to Shinkenger, and how little Bulk and Spike are being used (possibly due to the closeness to Shinkenger), I wouldn't count on it. But it would be awesome. If they were to do it, it would be cool if it was just Spike, standing up to the enemy forces in the same way his father and uncle did.
- So if he became a Ranger he would gain a skirt?
- They wouldn't have to use the stock footage. Although that would also be hilarious.
- Except Seban purchased the rights to Decade, all of it, including the cross over, be kind of pointless not to do SOMETHING with it.
- Really now? I didn't know that...So does this become Jossed?
- Well logically something will be done with it, but as of yet nothing has been announced...then again we could be a "friend in need" episode that is not part of the official "43" as a set up for a new Decade series...wait and see I think.
- Any hope of a crossover is jossed, they skipped the episode in question.
- And they definitely can't go back to it at a later point or anything. Maybe they just haven't found a proper actor for Decade yet?
- Confirmed - they skipped the Decade crossover, and it's been several years since Samurai finished, no Decade crossover; unless they adapt Kamen Rider Drive, odds are we're not going to see any more American adaptations of Kamen Rider in the near future.
- That cast photo was from a themed birthday party for one of the cast (or friend of the cast) it wasn't from the show.
- Alternatively, they could give him a red/black/gold motif to tie him to the American version of Mogyudaioh.
- This would be perfect element-wise: the only eastern element left out of the mix is metal, which is associated with the color white. And they do have a white tiger zord...
- Except that the Tiger Zord's elemental power seems to be ice, if it's armor mode power is any indication.
- Jossed. It would've made more sense for him to be the Silver Samurai Ranger, given that the team doesn't have a White Ranger - and usually, if a team has a white ranger, they also have a black ranger - while there has been cases of a black ranger without a white ranger, the inverse is not true (but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
- He could just get "adopted" into the family itself... somehow.
- Corinth was explicitly stated by Eddie Guzelian to be the Boston area, and also to be the last human civilization on Earth. On top of that, leaked info about the upcoming RPM crossover explicitly has the RPM team travel through dimensions to meet the Samurai team.
- Jossed; he's now Serrator, as in his creepy-ass serrated grin.
- The corresponding episode with Rhinosnorus was a two-parter. He was destroyed in Part 2. Give it another week. Then again, considering Arachnitor, they might pull off the same thing.
- Ranger teams sometimes know each other, but Antonio wasn't part of the team at that point. Previous rangers probably wouldn't even know he existed. Heck, four of the Samurai rangers didn't know he existed, and Jii and Jayden didn't know he was a ranger.
- Jayden probably knew about the previous rangers by then and told Antonio about them and Angel Grove. So it's not too much of a stretch to think he found the ruined command center and the gold zeonizer and based his own morpher off it's technology.
- Or he might even have moved to Angel Grove. We're never told where he moved to. So he might have moved to Angel Grove and found it.
- There never was gold Zeonizer, though; the powers came directly from the Golden Power Staff.
- Then what was that thing on his wrist?
- His communicator, I believe.
- Then what was that thing on his wrist?
- You forget it seems to be incredibly easy to make a morpher in the PR world, I mean a Ninja resturanture for example made some out of sunglasses. The impressive part is Antonio making a power source for the morpher.
- Octo probably gave him access to the morphing grid.
- RJ didn't make the Jungle Fury morphers. He "knew a guy" who provided them.
- I forget which but we do see his making at-least one of them
- When? As I recall, the Wolf Morpher was just kind of there. I forget about the Rhino Morpher's origin, though.
- It was the Rhino Morpher. We see RJ working on it when Dom got his greasy fingers all over Theo's and Lily's training gear.
- If Samurai continues to stick as closely to Shinkenger as they have so far, then half confirmed, half jossed. He's still alive and still cursed but now with a broken sword, which he will work as a part-time Dragon alongside Dayu to the nighlok that cursed him in the first place to get fixed.
- Confirmed in Season 2, Episode 8, "Kevin's Choice".
And therefore is is possible that...
- Kinda Jossed by the fact that season 2 is the second half of Samurai's story, rather than the beginning of a Goseiger adaptation. If he survives to the end of the Shinkenger adaptation and Saban try the whole passing-the-torch thing in the Samurai-Miracle Force (Korean dubs of Sentai are named "Power Rangers" with subtitles that are usually close to what the actual Power Rangers season will be called, and the Korean Goseiger dub was called Miracle Force.) transition like they had going from Mighty Morpin' up to In Space, it's possible, but let's not hold our proverbial breathes.
- With Gokaiger to adapt in the future this is less likely.
- Jossed.
- Watch Clash of the Red Rangers. Pay attention to a electrical sign on a train near the end, one of the words on it look like Decade.
Either way, it doesn't seem like we'll be seeing an episode where Mike's dad mistakes Mia for his (Mike's) girlfriend and proves he's (Mike's dad's) still got the moves as part of Nickelodeon's current run of Power Rangers Samurai.
- Jossed - no Decade Adaptation aired.
- Wouldn't this require the Rangers to have been Dead All Along? ... Then again, this would explain why all the instances of death were changed to being away on business...
- Alternately, a spiritually aware human patterned the Samurai Ranger powers after seeing Shinigami. Said human most likely saw a captain in action after creating the original powers. Believing the captain's different style of clothing was an indicator of an elite Shinigami (which it kinda is), the Black Box was created (but not finished until the series needed a Mid-Season Upgrade). This is why Super Samurai Mode adds their version of a captain's haori. The fact that it comes with this later upgrade can be seen as proof that the Rangers aren't sponsored by the Gotei 13 (and they're not Urahara's prototype for Karakuraizer, either). If that were the case, a white haori would have been part of the Red Ranger's outfit from the beginning, and the ability to trade among the other Rangers wouldn't exist.
And probably like the Doctor's own TARDIS, it probably has a mind of its own hence why it took Scott Truman/Ranger Red to the Samurai dimension because he needed to be there. In other words, it assisted him in tracking down Professor Cog. And yes, the inside of the subway does look normal but think about it, a TARDIS can be bigger on the inside so no doubt it'd be an endless hallway of seats and poles. Then again, it could be all cloaked.
- Maybe but one of the words on the sign on the train(the electric one that appears beside Mike's head near the end as the Scott leaves) looks alot like Decade. There may be some special reason for that and afterall in a sense Scott was passing through(as in he could not stay)
- Can I see an image, please?
- Not OP, but here's a screenshot of the one and only electric sign that shows up behind Mike's head in the end. No, it doesn't get any less blurry than that, so... yeah. That one probably wasn't Decade's fault◊. There's another sign earlier, before the train is boarded, but it's cut off before the last two letters and ends in -CE so I doubt that's related to Decade either: [1]◊
- Except that was a subway train. The train in Den-O is a bullet train.
- Well, not exactly deliberate, but a odd side-effect. After the first team of Samurai rangers defeated the Nighlocks, they didn't know where the next attacks would occur. So their ancestors fled to the five corners of the world: North America (Jayden,) South America (Mike,) Europe (Emily,) Africa (Kevin,) and one stayed in Asia (Mia.) After several generations, it was discovered that the next attack was going to occur in the U.S (or wherever Samurai takes place, but all the English speakers make me think it's the USA,) and the parents of the current Team Samurai immigrated to the United States to prepare. Since Kids Are Cruel, the other four team members pulled a John Barrowman and picked up American accents to avoid being teased. This explains how Jayden might have a Japanese surname (all of his predecessors were male and the name stuck), it explains why Serena didn't bother with an accent (she was thicker skinned than Emily and didn't give a damn) and if Jayden and Antonio settled in a place with thick accents (Canada, New England, or Minnesota), why the Flashback Rangers had them as well (I know the Kiwi accents don't really lend themselves to this theory very well, but I'm grasping at straws with that.)
- Maybe Jayden's family went to Australia or New Zealand instead of America.
- I find it much easier to reconcile their accents by assuming that the current rangers were born in America after their parents immigrated there, whereas Serena was born in Europe and developed her accent there.
- Is to set him up to be the Silver Ranger in the Gokaiger adaptation.
- Jossed - he doesn't even appear in there, much less become a ranger.
- They just do their job so well that they're only implied to exist a small number of times and so far, have only been seen once: in Origins part one, you can see a man dressed in a suit driving the car with Mia inside it and in a city that seems to have a fair amount of office buildings, it wouldn't be too strange to see guys in suits running all over the place.
- Jossed.
- Jossed on it being revealed part. Though it's likely not ALL of them as some of them dry out, and as we saw with both Dayu and Deker, human-transformed Nighloks can't dry out. So this would mean Switchbeast, Duplicator, and Grinataur are out. It's possible the others are former humans. I think Skarf is the Tragic Villain kind as he just wants to eat and his master ends up having him killed.
- Bulk will be wearing homemade samurai armor and introducing himself as Samurai Brown, Farcus Bulkmier
- Jossed!
- Jossed!
- Except Akibaranger is unofficial...
- The only problem with this theory is that Cam's powers come from the Samurai Amulet that was passed down through his mother's family, not the Watanabe clan.
- Maybe Mia and her brother are Cam's children.
- Jossed - the dates don't add up. Since Samurai is supposed to take place in 2012, the only way this could've happened would be if Cam had fathered Mia and her brother before the start of Ninja Storm (which would mean he was in his mid-late teens), and since Terry is stated to be Mia's older brother, and at the very least, he looks like he's in his mid-teens, he would've had to have fathered two kids. It's more likely that Cam is Mia's cousin.
- Terry wasn't stated to be older and logically can't be, since the ranger duties are meant for the eldest sibling (unless they are unable to, like in Serena's case).
- Looking closely, you can see the mammoth Engine Cell in Scott's blaster at one point, meaning the movie could have happened anytime after "Ancient History".
- Jossed - not only did Megaforce use as much Sentai footage as possible, they ended up adapting 2 Sentai together.
Ninjor has been on Earth for a long time and made the original powers, he also had a Samurai based mode. Wouldn't be out of the question.
