Just recently, Nickelodeon has just revealed the synopsis of the pilot episode of Power Rangers Samurai which will premiere in the United States this February 7th! And as they promised, it is indeed close to the original Super Sentai show, Shinkenger!
In the premiere episode, The Team Unites, after Mike (Green Samurai Ranger) can't anticipate an attack like Kevin (Blue Samurai Ranger) and Jayden (Red Samurai Ranger), he grows frustrated and takes a break from training to meet up with old friends.
But when a long-armed monster named Rofer attacks, Mike unsuccessfully attempts to fight him alone, and his friends are injured. Jayden and Mentor explain the hard truth that Samurai Rangers must stay away from family and friends in order to protect them from the dangers that are involved with being a Ranger. Inspired, Mike begins to take his role and training as a Samurai Ranger more seriously. With Jayden's help, Mike uses his training and creativity to anticipate Rofer's moves and defeats him.
As you can see, this episode is basically similar with Samurai Sentai Shinkenger's 3rd Act called, An Extermination Skill Contest, which is about Chiaki leaving the group and starts hanging out with his old friends when the Monster of the Week appears. Because of the clear similarities with the episodes, many fans wonder if the series will air in a different order.
Because of this, fans ask the show's official Twitter account regarding it and it is confirmed that this is indeed the first episode of the series. Which leads me to question, where does the episode seen in the earlier promo clip will take place?
Anyways, Power Rangers Samurai premieres on Nickelodeon this February 7th, at 8pm with new episodes every Sunday!
