Meet the Samurai Power Rangers

The Samurai Power Rangers

The Samurai Rangers are brave heroes who come from a long line of samurai warriors. They live and train at the Shiba House, which is their secret base. These Rangers use a special power called Symbol Power. This power is passed down through their families. It lets them turn their thoughts into amazing energy and even summon different objects!

To keep their loved ones safe from the Nighloks, the Rangers must live apart from their friends and family. The Shiba House has special defenses to protect them. They also use a "Gap Sensor" to find out where a Nighlok is hiding.

All the Rangers carry "Spin Swords." These swords can use special "Samurai Disks." When a disk is attached, the Spin Sword powers up. Each Ranger's Spin Sword can also change into their unique weapon. When they call their giant robots, called Zords, their Spin Swords become "Mega Blades." Inside the Zord's cockpit, they use the Mega Blade to control their Zord.

The Gold Ranger has a special weapon called the Barracuda Blade. It works like the Spin Swords and can also use Samurai Disks.

To transform into their Ranger suits, the team shouts, "Go, Go Samurai!" They then draw their Ranger symbol with their special devices called Samuraizers. The Gold Ranger has a different call: "Samurai Morpher, Gold Power!" After transforming, the whole team says their motto: "Rangers Together, Samurai Forever!"

Jayden Shiba: The Red Ranger

Jayden Shiba is a serious and calm young man. He is a direct descendant of the Shiba family. Mentor Ji raised him from a young age after his father gave him the Lion Folding Zord.

Jayden is a very skilled fighter. A mysterious half-Nighlok, half-human warrior named Deker wants to fight him. Jayden has a big secret he keeps from the other Rangers for their safety.

He is the only Ranger who can master a special symbol to seal away Master Xandred. Because of this, the other Rangers are very protective of him. As the series goes on, Jayden learns to trust his team more. He realizes they are stronger together.

Jayden's secret is revealed later: he was not the true Red Ranger. He was standing in for his older sister, Lauren. She was hidden away because she was the only one who could master the sealing symbol. After Lauren takes her place, Jayden leaves the Shiba House. But his friends convince him to return to fight Master Xandred. When Lauren's sealing symbol doesn't fully work, she gives leadership back to Jayden. He then uses Shogun mode to defeat Master Xandred for good.

After the final battle, Jayden stays at the Shiba house with Mentor Ji. He finally gets to relax and have fun. He even gets a new red guitar as a gift! Jayden later helps the Power Rangers Super Megaforce team. He also joins a big army of past Rangers to fight a huge enemy force.

At first, Kevin didn't like Antonio joining the team. He thought Antonio wasn't a "true Samurai." But after seeing Antonio's dedication, he accepted him. Kevin is almost as skilled as Jayden. He often leads the other Rangers when Jayden is not around. He also respects Mike's creativity, even though Mike's lazy habits sometimes annoy him.

Nighloks: The Evil Villains

The Nighloks are mean, demon-like creatures from the Netherworld. They need to soak in the waters of the Sanzu River to survive, or they dry up. Their goal is to make the Sanzu River flood with the sad and angry feelings of humans. This would allow them to enter Earth and take over.

Master Xandred

Master Xandred is the powerful leader of the Nighloks. He looks like a Japanese spiny lobster and carries a big sword. Xandred gets very angry easily, especially when his followers fail to defeat the Rangers. He wants to flood the Sanzu River with human despair so he can conquer the world.

Jayden's father sealed Master Xandred away years ago, but the seal was not permanent. Xandred is incredibly strong and a skilled fighter. However, he has weaknesses. The incomplete seal makes him weaker, and he often has a headache. He also dries out very quickly outside the Netherworld.

Xandred returns to Earth to fight the Rangers and even his own follower, Serrator. He is very powerful and can defeat the Rangers easily. He absorbs Dayu's human side to protect himself from the Sealing Symbol. In the final battle, Jayden destroys Xandred as the Red Shogun Ranger. But Xandred returns as a giant monster. The Rangers combine all their Zords into the Samurai Megazord and defeat him for good.

Master Xandred is voiced by Jeff Szusterman.

Dayu

Dayu was one of Master Xandred's main followers. She looks like a sea slug and plays a musical instrument called a shamisen. Before becoming a Nighlok, she was a human named Dahlia. She was married to Deker. A fire injured Deker, and a mysterious Nighlok (Serrator) offered to save Deker's life if Dayu gave up her humanity. She agreed, but Deker lost his memory and became half-human, half-Nighlok. Dayu became a Nighlok with only her shamisen to remind her of her past.

Dayu is a strong fighter. Her shamisen has a hidden sword inside. She tries to get her human life back by kidnapping brides, but the Rangers stop her. She eventually leaves Master Xandred and tries to get revenge on him. Dayu learns that Serrator was the one who cursed Deker. She later returns to Xandred. In a final battle, Mia destroys Dayu's shamisen, which helps Master Xandred become fully healed. Dayu is badly hurt and Xandred absorbs her human side to protect himself. She is believed to be reunited with Deker after she is defeated.

Dayu is voiced by Kate Elliott.

Octoroo

Octoroo is an old, squid-themed Nighlok with a staff. He is another one of Master Xandred's main followers. He often reads old books, makes Xandred's medicine, and checks the Sanzu River's water level. Everyone calls him "Noodle-Face." Despite his small size, he is powerful and skilled in black magic. He can stay in the human world without drying out. Octoroo often starts his sentences with "Ooh ah ooh!" and speaks in rhymes. He is very loyal to Master Xandred and cares about Dayu.

Octoroo is voiced by Jeff Szusterman.

Deker

Deker is a mysterious Nighlok swordsman. He is half-human and doesn't remember his past. He is cursed to constantly search for the perfect opponent to duel. He carries a special sword called Uramasa. Deker was once married to Dayu. A fire almost killed him, and Dayu gave up her humanity to save him. This turned him into a half-human, half-Nighlok with no memory. Because he is half-human, Deker can change into human form and move between worlds without drying out. He sees the Red Ranger as his greatest challenge.

Deker eventually remembers his past as Dayu's husband. He has a big duel with Jayden, and his sword Uramasa is broken. He thanks Jayden before disappearing. Later, Dayu finds him alive. Serrator fixes Uramasa, and Deker works with Serrator to get his sword back. However, Deker betrays Serrator at the last moment. He then challenges Jayden to one last duel. Jayden defeats Deker, and Deker finally feels free before he disappears. It is thought that he and Dayu are reunited.

Deker is played by Ricardo Medina, Jr..

Serrator

Serrator is a powerful Nighlok with six eyes and a scary grin. He can teleport, shoot electricity, and use a special staff. He was responsible for turning Deker into a half-human and Dayu into a Nighlok.

Serrator appears from the bottom of the Sanzu River. He offers his help to Master Xandred and shows off his power by destroying many Moogers. He can create new monsters called Papyrox. Antonio is the first to successfully hurt Serrator.

Serrator's true plan is to crack open the Earth. This would flood the world with the Sanzu River, trapping Master Xandred and making Serrator the ruler of both worlds. He needs Deker to break the final point with his sword. However, Deker betrays Serrator. The Rangers then defeat Serrator in a huge battle, combining all their Zords into the Samurai Gigazord.

Serrator is voiced by Derek Judge.

Professor Cog

Professor Cog is a robot from another world, the future of Power Rangers RPM. He has a wrench for one arm and a screwdriver for the other. He came to the Samurai Rangers' world to get Sanzu River water for his boss, Venjix. He tricks the Rangers and makes the Red Rangers fight each other. With help from the other Rangers, Jayden and Scott Truman (the RPM Red Ranger) destroy Professor Cog.

Professor Cog is rebuilt later in Super Megaforce. He tries to conquer Earth again but is destroyed by the Megaforce Rangers.

Professor Cog is voiced by Cameron Rhodes.

Furry Warts

Furry Warts are small, yellow, furry ball-like creatures that live on Xandred's ship. They annoyingly repeat what people say and giggle. One Furry Wart is cast out by Master Xandred and later stepped on by him.

Moogers

Moogers are the basic foot soldiers of Master Xandred. They look like coral or sea anemones. They fight with swords and bows. There are also giant Moogers that fight the Zords. Some Moogers can fly, and others have blasters. The strongest ones are called Master Blasters.

Spitfangs

Spitfangs are another type of foot soldier. They look like skull-like snake heads with carp-like bodies. They can breathe fire. Like Moogers, Spitfangs can grow giant to fight the Zords. They come in gold and blue colors.

Papyrox

Papyrox are giant monsters made of origami paper. Serrator creates them by cutting shapes from paper. They are stronger than Moogers and Spitfangs. Some Papyrox carry double-bladed swords.

Nighlok Monsters: The Weekly Foes

The Nighlok Monsters are unique, Yōkai-like creatures used by the villains to attack Earth. They need the Sanzu River's water to live. They also need the sad feelings of humans to keep from drying out. Their goal is to make the Sanzu River flood into the human world so Nighloks can rule both worlds.
