Recap / Power Rangers Samurai S1E1 Origins Part 1

Go To

After several years, the leader of the Nighloks, Master Xandred emerges from the depths of the Sanzu Rover and sets about planning to flood the Earth. To counter this threat, the Red Samurai Ranger Jayden Shiba reluctantly recruits the other Samurai rangers to assist him.


Tropes

  • Continuity Nod: Bulk mentions he has a history with Power Rangers.
  • Foreshadowing: Like its counterpart, the episode 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.
  • I Know Mortal Kombat: Bulk claims to be an expert in samurais after Spike arrives in Panorama City. Although he did state it out loud that he's an expert by watching most samurai movies...
  • Van in Black: Mia rides in one to meet the other Rangers.

Samurai Rangers

Despite allegedly being descended from ancient samurai clans, none of the rangers are Japanese (the only Asian among them played by Erika Fong, who is Korean and Chinese). A little leeway can be given to Antonio, the only ranger not descended from a clan, but he still falls under the trope.

How well does it match the trope?
