History Awesome / PowerRangersSamurai

* Angelo not only developing his own Ranger powers, but having them be able to interface with the main 5 Rangers.

* A meta example: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrn8_cWjMoM The Samurai Rangers dance to a dubstep remix of Go Go Power Rangers.]]

* Kevin using Super Samurai mode to smash Armadevil. In American footage. Then, by seamlessly editing footage from two separate Shinkenger episodes, Armadevil is defeated with a rapid-fire strike of ''[[UpToEleven six]]'' Megazord configurations.

* They had the sack to cast a former Power Rangers actor as the main antagonist for the first half of the season. Deker wasn't just played by any one-off guest star, he was played by a former Power Ranger. A former Red Ranger. [[spoiler:Series/PowerRangersWildForce Red Lion Ranger Cole Evans aka Rick Medina, to be exact.]]

** In "Broken Dreams" we find out that [[spoiler: he was the one who turned Dayu and Deker into Nighloks. What makes it moment of awesome for him is how he does it: he tells Dayu that Deker will be half-human and half-Nighlok AFTER she made the deal, not BEFORE like all other DealWithTheDevil examples and he laughs at her misery]].

*** In "Broken Dreams" he crosses MoralEventHorizon, at least in the eyes of Dayu, when he ruins Dayu's harmonium ([[spoiler: which was gift from Deker, back when she and Deker were married and it was the last remnant of her love for Deker)]] and attempts to erase Dayu's memory. Dayu even says: "I knew you were evil, but this!". And Octooro thought that Xandred was soft on Dayu.

** [[spoiler:Deker severely wound Serrator and foil his plot.]] Bonus points for turning [[EvenEvilHasStandards Juzo's]] MoralEventHorizon into an EvenEvilHasStandards moment and making it work. [[spoiler:The Rangers then destroy Serrator and use the Gigazord and Shark Zord to destroy him once and for all.]]
** Serrator gets a villainous one for [[spoiler:''not'' going down without one hell of a fight. He manages to ''catch the Gigazord's FinishingMove'' and send it right back. ''No'' monster had ever survived that move before, let alone ''deflect it''.]]
* "[[HalloweenEpisode Trickster Treat]]": [[spoiler: The Rangers catch on to the {{Dream Within A Dream}}/TrappedInTVLand and Trickster finds that [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou the Fourth Wall will not protect him]] as the Claw Armor Megazord's Double Katana Strike goes through the screen and kills him so hard it eats both of his lives. Capped off by Jayden's "It's time for you to fade to black" BondOneLiner.]]

** Mostly a shot for shot remake of ''Shinkenger'' up until [[spoiler: Xandred is hit by a Blazing Strike from the Shiba Fire Disc. While this was the final blow in ''Shinkenger'', Jayden finishes the battle by ''using Shogun Mode outside of the Megazord'', and morphing straight from his base form to boot! This proves that Shogun Mode is the ''Samurai'' Battlizer!]]

* Kevin being the one to [[spoiler: defeat Deker.]] Just for once, it's nice to see someone other than the Red Ranger do something significant, as well as the fact that this was different from how it happened in ''Shinkenger''.

* They had the sack to cast a former Power Rangers actor as the main antagonist for the first half of the season. Deker wasn't just played by any one-off guest star, he was played by a former Power Ranger. A former Red Ranger. [[spoiler:Series/PowerRangersWildForce Red Lion Ranger Cole Evans aka RickMedina, to be exact.]]

* They had the sack to cast a former Power Rangers actor as the main antagonist for the first half of the season. Deker wasn't just played by any one-off guest star, he was played by a former Power Ranger. A former Red Ranger. [[spoiler:PowerRangersWildForce Red Lion Ranger Cole Evans aka RickMedina, to be exact.]]

* This series got one before it even premiered. One of their first appearances was in the UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade, and there's something adorably awesome about watching the Samurai Rangers ''literally'' "protecting" the Planet Earth (in balloon form) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgM1SXwREZk as it floats through New York City.]]
** The next year, they got to "save" [[Series/{{Today}} Al Roker]] from a horde of Moogers, which is somewhere between awesome and SugarWiki/{{funny|Moments}}.[[note]]"Take Lauer, he's much more important!"[[/note]]
* It get one before its first episode actually started by returning the intro to its roots with the classic "Go Go Power Rangers!" beat. It sent chills up this troper's spine.
* Let's not also forget that they had the sack to cast a former Power Rangers actor as the main antagonist for the first half of the season. Deker wasn't just played by any one-off guest star, he was played by a former Power Ranger. A former Red Ranger.
** [[spoiler:PowerRangersWildForce Red Lion Ranger Cole Evans aka RickMedina, to be exact.]]

* The Gold Ranger's intro fight was already pretty awesome, then we see his Mega Mode...
** Combining the Octozord with the Megazord was another high-point of his first few eps. Then he finished the Clawzord, showing off three of its modes in a single battle!

** A good example would be "The Blue and the Gold," particularly the forest scenes. If it weren't for the weird bit with Octoroo's mouth, it'd be almost difficult to tell the Sentai footage from Ranger footage.
*** The best example to date is in "Boxed In" in which they beat the MOTW, but instead of Red going SuperMode, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd11RI6qkCI they use Quintuple slash powered by Antonio.]]

* Kevin using Super Samurai mode to smash Armadevil. In American footage.
** Then, by seamlessly editing footage from two separate Shinkenger episodes, Armadevil is defeated with a rapid-fire strike of ''[[UpToEleven six]]'' Megazord configurations.

* The Samurai Battlewing has well and truly earned its "Airstrike Combination" designation, after being used to utterly ruin Eyescar's trap plan by raining DeathFromAbove on his Mooger army.
** The official debut of the Shark Disc is definitely noteworthy, despite the EarlyBirdCameo in ''Clash of the Red Rangers''.

** When he ''finally'' gets off his throne in "The Master Returns". ''Everything'' he does when he shows up. It starts with him making a BigEntrance in probably the most badass way imaginable, then is followed with him delivering a CurbStompBattle to ''everyone in his path'' and sending Serrator running. Xandred took the title of the most badass character and fighter in the show from Serrator.

** Note, that was just his ''entrance!''
** Not to mention that ''he was basically doing all this with one hand tied.'' We find that the sealing symbol doesn't keep him out of the human world, it just makes him dry out in record time. The ''entire'' time he was being so scary without doing anything, and then beating the Rangers into the dirt with zero effort, ''he was coming apart at the seams and in tremendous pain.'' To allow the Rangers to win in the finale, they had to pull a WorfHadTheFlu and say that he was weakened by the human aspect he'd absorbed in order to be able to remain in the human world.

* "Stroke Of Fate" having [[spoiler:Deker severely wound Serrator and foil his plot.]] Bonus points for turning [[EvenEvilHasStandards Juzo's]] MoralEventHorizon into an EvenEvilHasStandards moment and making it work. [[spoiler:The Rangers then destroy Serrator and use the Gigazord and Shark Zord to destroy him once and for all.]]

* The finale. Mostly a shot for shot remake of ''Shinkenger'' up until [[spoiler: Xandred is hit by a Blazing Strike from the Shiba Fire Disc. While this was the final blow in ''Shinkenger'', Jayden finishes the battle by ''using Shogun Mode outside of the Megazord'', and morphing straight from his base form to boot! This proves that Shogun Mode is the ''Samurai'' Battlizer!]]

* Jayden meeting the other Rangers for the first time: he rides in on a white horse, which promptly rears up in a badass pose.
** Lampshaded by Mike: "With an entrance like that, you ''have'' to be the Red Ranger."
