Power Rangers! The evil Nighlok,
Xandred, awakens from his slumber he threatens the human realm once more with
his evil monsters and minions. It's up
to a new generation of young Samurai Power Rangers to stop the Nighloks in
their tracks and defeat their evil plans. Join Jayden, Kevin, Mike, Emily and
Mia as they fight the Nighloks for the first time, together as a team they
learn to master their new powers, zords and elements and become the unstoppable
Power Rangers Samurai.
Now here
with two volumes issued at the same time, we get to see how long ago, evil
Nighloks from ancient Japan
invaded the lands, it is only the Power Rangers Samurai who defeated them long
ago. Now awakened in modern day, the
Nighloks rise again to try and bring fear, pain and evil into the human realm
to make the evil Sanzu
River rise and flood the
Earth, but the Power Rangers' descendents have been preparing for their return.
Jayden the Red Ranger, the leader, leads
a young team to fight the Nighloks, as they learn how to master their
Megazords, they learn how to work together and with the power of teamwork they
can do anything.
Based off
Japanese culture of super sentai, Power
Rangers Samurai is one of the many reincarnations/variations of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The story is about a team of young heroes,
each with their own power, color and element and giant robot/zord that when
they all come together they form the ultimate giant robot to fight evil. With each battle they fight the source of
evil's power (bullying, name calling, greed, unkindness, etc...), the rangers
are symbolic of good virtues for kids to follow. Extras include Power Rangers auditions and
video, character gallery, bloopers and weapons gallery.
