Power Rangers Super Samurai Lauren Shiba First Appearance Split Screen (PR and Sentai version) 

I'm Japanese.I just wanted to inform people who possibly didn't know

Well you did make the appearance of the Gold ranger in Kyoryuger and the other gold ranger in Samurai

Jarred Slomine Yes but I feel many are wondering why I haven't done others from Neo Saban.

Oh and I got to tell you these voices of the monsters in the Power Rangers are really ridiculous! Rita's voice in Mighty Morphin is way high pitched!

I never asked for when you're going to release the next Neo-Saban era video or whatever. I just look at my notifications for the next video to be uploaded, regardless of what era it originates from. Still, good video, though.

Actually, for Super Sentai, it's more "I can't wait to replace my adopted son"

Kaoru (female Shinken Red) is younger than Takeru (male Shinken Red) and they are not blood related.

@@blackmercury2796 my bad, I watched it back in 2014 and I forgot about that plot other than it being way better than the American version

@@blackmercury2796 I just deleted my previous comment cause I watched the episode and found out that she adopted him a few episodes after she first appereared so she just went back to take back the place of the head of the shiba clan

Lol Takeru isn't even samurai Kaoru is real head of Shiba clan

about the "dire situation", most probably due to PR doesn't really use bruise makeups when the rangers are defeated (0:27 for example). effectively making it look "less dire". heck, even their clothes in PR are almost always intact and clean (little dirts here and there are the most they can do) after every fight scenes. yeah, stupid age rating can sometimes ruin the intensity of the story.

Lauren is nice one.

Well, to be fair...Kaoru doesn't seemed to care about any of the other Shinkengers' well-being. She's just there to complete the mission. Now, with Lauren...she's the exact opposite. But, what's really messed up later on after Lauren's first appearance in the episode is Jayden's bone-headed decision to just leave since he can't be the red ranger. Now, I understand that for the sake of the plot, we can't have two Red Rangers leading the Samurai Rangers because we've already saw what happened in Dino Thunder with Trent and the evil White Ranger clone, but here's a simple solution, instead of just leaving the Shiba House because of the fact that he just lied to everyone, even though it was not really that big of a deal anyways, why don't he just stay in the Shiba House and act as support for the team, helping out civilians while the others help Lauren take out the nighloks?! Or....ask Lauren how she mastered the sealing spell and have her teach the technique to Jayden?! Wouldn't that make more logical sense to have a back-up plan instead of just copy-and-paste everything note-for-note from Shinkenger?!

+Neo-Xgray87 Indeed that would be a better option. But I suppose Tzachor was behind the plot of Samurai, I never watched Samurai completely, but when a PR season copy paste the most of the Sentai counterpart plot, the people blames Tzachor.

Makijita V Yep, that's true. But seriously, don't bother trying to finish watching Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai, if you're like an older fan of Power Rangers or just an adult. It's only tolerable for little kids to watch, but not for adults. You're better off watching Power Rangers SPD, Power Rangers RPM, Power Rangers Dino Thunder or Power Rangers in Space or Power Rangers Time Force as the alternative choice. Hell, you're even better off watching Kamen Rider W, OOO, Gaim or Kamen Rider 555 and Kamen Rider Decade as a more preferable alternative if you want to take a break from Power Rangers and Super Sentai.

+Neo-Xgray87 I'm both, an old PR fan and an adult now. And I already watched all the PR seasons you said. I'm thinking about to start to watch KR, I'm gonna choose one of you recommend me, thanks

But there is a detail that you should take into account, TIME FORCE IS NOT A COPY, of course takes elements of timeranger but adds its own elements to enrich more history. Which samurai does not do and does not have to see if it has Japanese elements or not. It's just that it's a lazy adaptation without any identity.

i agree. I like Samurai but I never saw Shinkenger until last year and I still like Samurai because it starts close to Shinkenegr but deviates later on and there's nothing wrong with that

And with almost a completely western cast.....Mia's actress is Chinese. Not Japanese...there's not one single Japanese on that team.

@@zhao.lu0551 She's chinese and korean

Mainly Japanese aesthetic, portrayed in America, filmed in New Zealand. 😂

I just realize that Power Rangers is a very kid show, and Shinkenger is an all public drama

I find super sentai more realistic that way Not trusting the new ally immediately because of this seems like a real human reaction. Questioning about it seems something a real human would do. Ok nvm. Due to the family relationship I think I can understand the niceness more in rangers but still They seem too nice to me...

The fact that Jayden told them that she's his sister already lift away some tenseness of the reveal (thus, most of them now change their question into 'where was she hiding until now'). meanwhile in JP not only we have a new Shinkenred that says nothing, she also has an annoying aide that told them the big confusing reveal.

ah sleepns quetion

Well kid show will be kid show anyways so I watch the super Sentai first before watching the pr

rmath176 ;; I mean, PR wouldn't have existed if there was no Super Sentai.

Where do you watch it

Gxzza You can find some streaming stuff online, if you look, but I'm not too sure if there is a completely legal way to get it.

@@rmath176 There isn't, try downloading subbed episodes from TV-Nihon or [Over-Time], fansubs are basically the only way to watch any tokusatsu that isn't being streamed by Shout!TV. If you're depending on fansubs, you might as well download them on the subbers site in the best quality possible.

@@davidhayward6382 Thank you so much :). I've been trying to find something like this for a long while now. I really appreciate it.

even power rangers till rpm gave real like injuries but since nick came theyh decided to make it more kid friendly thus ruining it see the wild force episode wehre they first fight zen aku they were rally hurt

Len Lee Anime & Drama Channel I love how there are different scenes exclusive to each version of the show. I don't really favour a specific version, but... I find Power Rangers to be a bit too kid-friendly, while Super Sentai, while still sort of being a kid's show, has some darker moments.

Time Force and RPM had a lot of bruises and cuts but since Samurai they barely even have dirt on them. :P

Affan Sami both shows had their own downgrades, power ranger doesn’t have realistic injuries or believable ones, while Sentai, I’m not sure about this so don’t quote me, they don’t kill their characters anymore. Back then Bioman’s yellow four died and was replaced.

@@lunarketchup8829 By kill, may I presume you were talking about the characters being permanently dead/killed? Hmm...Before Shinkenger....*thinking* I know Abarekiller was killed. The same for TimeFire and Dragon Ranger. Umm...In Gokaiger, it was confirmed that Jetman's Black Condor was killed (when he fell asleep in the last episode of Jetman). I remember two characters in Gekiranger dying as well. After Shinkenger though (I watched up until Toqger only), the villains and side characters do get killed every now and then. Main rangers wise...you're quite right, they do get injured but no one died. At least not permanently (Kyouryuger has one such death).

Actually, I don't think Wild Force is *THAT* bad. I mean, it's not as good as Time Force, or in Space, or Dino Thunder, or SPD, or RPM. But, it's actually more tolerable to watch than freakin' Turbo and Operation Overdrive put together.

Plus, Wild Force actually does have some memorable moments and characters that would want to be fans of and of course...the team-up episodes. How can you not like the Wild Force team-up episodes with Time Force and "Forever Red"?! Now, do I think it's perfect?! No, does it have flaws?! Yes, are there some things about Wild Force that you simply can't like about?! Yes. But, with that being said, I'm not gonna place Wild Force on the "Worst" list of Power Rangers. That honor belongs to Megaforce/Super Megaforce, Operation Overdrive, and Turbo, in my opinion. Wild Force is just on the "average" side of Power Rangers seasons next to Lightspeed Rescue and to an ever greater degree...Lost Galaxy and Zeo.

Turbo at least had that epic ending though, and Overdrive brought back some Rangers. Samurai/Megaforce is only tolerable on mute sometimes. And I hated it so much I quit and watched the Sentai one instead. I only came back to see a female Red ranger, and the great ranger war. And they made that suck.

Turbo is a heavily underrated season. It had some really good stuff. In comparison to all the previous seasons, the new powers and villains were the worst. However, there were some absolutely fantastic episodes. "Built for Speed," "Alarmed and Dangerous," and "Cars Attacks" were some of the best episodes Power Rangers had. Near the end of the series, after the changeover and after the Phantom Ranger story arc, they had a whole string of great episodes.

mysteryperson1976 Well, it used to be underrated. But, nowadays, Turbo is like..."meh!" to some people. Me?! I actually found it to be quite boring. Even with the casting change halfway through, it was *STILL* boring!!! I mean, c'mon! How the hell could the one season of Power Rangers that everyone hated back in 1997, would end up making someone like me feel utterly bored and uninterested in watching all 47 episodes in the present?! Seriously, what the F@#$, Turbo?! At least with Kamen Rider Drive, while its' main themes are cars and police drama, it still had an interesting story for me to watch. I mean, sure, it's basically a retread of Kamen Rider W, but it was enjoyable for me to watch. Turbo, on the other hand....it just made me want to bring a blanket and a pillow just to go to sleep from watching the season. It's like the Power Rangers' equivalent to the Twilight movies, minus the sparkly vampires, shirtless "were-dogs", and creepy necrophiliac/abusive romance story.

all power rangers like this

@@system_izato9351 yeah i know but there's no power rangers Character that straight up using their japanese counterpart name except Jaiden

Tbf I think its still implied from the intro that the original generation of samurai rangers did start in japan(correct me if wrong been a few years since I saw samurai) so I guess they just get their ancestors' name

what do you mean?

in all fairness we see that she was at the shiba house before their father went off on his last battle. so up until a certain point theres a good chance she was living a more relaxed life with her brother. Then after their father died, was when they're plan really took affect to have her learn the sealing symbol and have jaiden be the fake head. so while she seems very optimistic despite the fact that she probably has been under strict routines for a chunk of her life, i can still believe that she'd be optimistic since unlike the shinkenger story her and jadien are actually family and grew up together, She had more of a normal life than kaoru so its believable for her to be more hopeful, she had something she was fighting towards as opposed to just a duty like with kaoru

Janifer

Yeah, the twist definitely worked better in Shinkenger.

Kaoru is Takeru mom tho...

@@Aibadenshi at first he's a stand in for kaoru then she quits being the head and adopted Takeru

She adopted him hence becoming his mom

@@Aibadenshi yeah, in the story, kaoru is takeru's step mother

And you think I'm not educated to know about this? Like Shotaro Ishinomori helped create very well known Manga series like Cyborg 009 and Skullman. These paid way for him to create Kamen Rider Series 1971, Super Sentai Series Goranger 1975 and, JAKQ 1977. He also is the pinoneer who developed the term "Henshin" for every single Tokusatsu you see today.

Its actually the opposite for me. At least Lauren was nice and cared about the team.

@@ROSPoetry1 To be frank, Lauren deserved better. Saban made a mistake: they made the Rangers look like assholes the moment Lauren is actually nice.

@@meorjibatheanimeotaku2651 I don’t blame you... but to think you prefer the shitty stories of the Neo-Saban era? I pity you...

man, this was acceptable in the 90's. but come on, Neo Saban is making PR more cringe-worthy than Disney did.

disney era wasn't that cringy.

disney era power rangers Let me rephrase that, the Neo Saban Era is more Cringe-worthy than the 2010 MMPR from the Disney Era. Ironically the newer Sentai were treated well... that is if they didn't make nonsensicaly Battlerizers to push toy sales.

cool movie😀

strawberrybankai12 yeah same here. I mean dino charge and ninja steel are good. However i cant watch any other of the nickolodeon series. Its absoloutly no surprise that RPM is the last good series, even though many people argue that jungle fury is the last good season.

Yes

Well, technically, the only seasons of Power Rangers that were a direct copy and paste from their respective sentai counterparts are I think Wild Force, in some ways. But, it's mostly Samurai/Super Samurai and Megaforce/Super Megaforce. Now, maybe Time Force is more faithful of adapting Timeranger into a Power Rangers season, but, at least it had some decent writing and the acting from the Time Force cast is a hell of a lot more tolerable than the acting in all three seasons of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, in my opinion. However, a lot of the Disney-era seasons tend to have more and more and more original story elements and more original fight scenes than any of the classic Saban-era and Neo-Saban era seasons do. So, you really gotta give the Disney-era a lot more credit for having more originality into the franchise than its' predecessors and successors did.

In my opinion, Power Rangers series that I think they are better adapted: Turbo, Lightspeed Rescue, Wildforce, Ninja storm, RPM The series that I think they are worse adapted: Mighty Morphin 2 & 3, Zeo, Jungle Fury, Samurai, Megaforce Once again, those are my opinion ^.^

Leonardo Lim Meh! That's okay. While I do have a soft-spot for Jungle Fury, don't ask! I still think that Gekiranger had the better story and philosophy in martial-arts. But with Mystic Force?! I'm sorry, but I tried to give this season a chance. Really, I did. But, after re-watching it three times, I just found myself not liking the kind of direction that it was going for at that time. Namely, the less-concentration of the four Mystic Rangers developing as characters and more and more focus on the boring extra rangers, and characters like Leelee Pimvare, Catastros and of course, Nick Russell, or as I like to call him, "pre-existing Shia LaBeouf from Michael Bay's Transformers". I much rather stick with Magiranger, instead since that was smart enough to know who its' main focus characters are and who remains as the supporting characters overall. P.S. I started to watch Ohranger and I actually thought it was funny in some parts, so far. So, maybe the humor from Zeo is entirely different than how it was in Ohranger because of how they both handled comedic villains. Ninja Storm had the right angle, but I feel like the people who worked on it just didn't took as many risk into making the jokes intentionally funny. Kind of like Ghostbusters (1984) or Blue Brothers (1980).

Leonardo Lim But, I still found Power Rangers Turbo to be the absolute most boring, yet uninteresting installment of the classic Saban-era seasons of Power Rangers. I mean, that was even lamer to watch than V.R. Troopers, in my opinion. Hell, even the characters of Kamen Rider Den-O would look at Power Rangers Turbo and say...."What the f@#k was that?! This is what they considered to be comedy in the U.S.?!"

Neo-Xgray87 The better point I found from PR Turbo is Carranger is more boring. Carranger seems to be a funny series, but the producer seems not really serious in producing, just concern about the comedy point. However, Carranger is not funny enough, but annoying

Actually,she was 14 years old,she wouldn't be 15 until November 7 Her actress was born in November 7 1995

I'm glad we see more Lauren Shiba in the Shattered Grid arc in the Boom Studio Comics.

bruh i found it weird he was just adopted with pr it just older sister and younger brother

Why would Lauren adopt Jayden if they are already related to each other as siblings(brothers and sisters), in sentai they are not related to each other at all which is why Kaoru had to adopt Takeru.

@@Mudsville1 im joking by referencing that kaoru had to adopt takeru. It was pretty funny to me

You would but I wouldn't and others out there wouldn't too

@@k3verse126 Oh trust me, there are some others who actually regret growing up with Samurai.

@@justinesun631 I don't doubt that but I also do doubt they regret it like that, ones I've seen give the show credit for being what introduced them to the series but also not really like it

I grew up with Samurai and know it’s not that great. I watched Shinkenger and loved it a lot, but I don’t regret Samurai. It’s just nostalgia for me

unfortunately when your a company and your trying to generalize the show and it's theme so it will fit with other countries so they can air in those countries.

rangersentaiguy2 SO WHAT?! What's wrong with seeing different design of other countries that whatever show is based on?! Is it because audiences would be confused or could not related to it?!

Well for example why did Saban neutralize Goseiger's Angel theme and Gokaiger's Pirate theme for both to combine to make Megaforce? Same for Ninja Steel, why did they take away Ninninger's Ninjustu Arts and Japanese Yokai Folkore for alien space tech? When your a company your trying to reach out other national markets across the world there are some themes they simply cannot use in their show when they air. This goes for toys, merchandise, and themes used in episodes. This same is stuff Saban is doing since Samurai in 2011.

rangersentaiguy2 To heck with all of that!

it's essentially similar if I'm a follower of Jesus(which I'm not) and you aren't aware of that before you meet me then I could change my attitude of my opening of my opinion so that you wouldn't have to deal with my feelings toward my beliefs. Sure you wouldn't have more to you knowledge, but this my attempt to make a comparison explaining Saban's decisions.

Honestly This is the power ranger show I grew up with but the thing is when I looked back I did not realize how bad the acting was

@@musics7292 Yeah, even if…spoiler… Takeru did later on became an offical Heir, via adoption into the Shiba Clan. My point still stands though. Shinkenger’s backstory was legit but the PR version, still confuses me to this day. As in how a Daughter gets to inherit a patrilineal clan when there is a legitimate Son as well? Pure confusion for me. Oh well…

@@DaughterOfMaat en eso tienes razon, siento que el plot twist de takero/shinken red pierde peso en samurai, en PR los samurais no tratan a jayden como su lord sino como el lider mas q nada

@@musics7292 Yeah, that's another thing that led to me not wanting to continue watching PR Samurai. The dynamics between Jayden Shiba and his "supposed" retainers. There were moments where their interactions seemed forced. Too forced, in fact. I don't want to write a really long rant. However, I shall say that if there is one other scene that really confuses me (aside from the "Lauren-Jayden Shiba heritage" issue), it would be the scene/episode when Takeru/Jayden drank the poisoned tea. Takeru's reaction and spoken dialogue were more natural, compared to Jayden's. Let's just say, the moment I saw the scene in PR Samurai, I was like "huh? How did Jayden know about that tea being poisonous?" 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

Não best tharks 😪😪

Well, that's pretty much how you would have introduce a newer samurai lord to total strangers. But, hey!!! At least we know why they had to make some changes for Lauren's character in the adapted version. Still wish that Samurai/Super Samurai didn't have to be a direct copy-and-pasting of Shinkenger's main story. But rather have its' own original story kind of like how RPM, SPD, Dino Thunder and even Ninja Storm did in the past.

Neo-Xgray87 I have to agree on that last part, the only reason i watch PR is to see how they can handle the sentai footage and make something interesting with this, i mean DinoThunder took full advantage of having an old ranger in the team to make some interesting character arcs. In other words i can be ok with some copy pasting IF we actually get something original, not like megaforce though

Loru Fangs *shivers!!!!* Don't remind me. But yeah, I guess that's true. I mean so far, Time Force was the only example of how to be faithful to the sentai, while actually doing something original. Wild Force was kind of like that, but....not by a bar minimum. Although, I would say that SPD was some-what more serialized than Dekaranger, but at the very least it actually did held its' story together by adding in more originality into the production. But then you have Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury where they would put in the right amount of effort into making Power Rangers have more originality in their own stories, but what's holding them back from being good seasons are the behind-the-scenes issues, and of course Disney's constant slashing of the budget and lack of support from the higher-up executives. But, oh well. That's there loss.

Neo-Xgray87 Yeah that is true, well at least Dino charge is kinda going in the right path (?). I only hope Ninja steel to be actually decent, i heard the sentai version was the worst season in the sentai franchise....

Loru Fangs Yeah. I mean, compared to Go-Onger and Goseiger, Ninninger makes those two incarnations of the Super Sentai look like the next "Gravity Falls" and "Batman: The Animated Series", if you'd know what I mean.

Yes it is. You just haven't been looking hard enough. Here's a link that has the episodes of Timeranger....kissasian.com/Drama/Mirai-Sentai-Timeranger It's not yet completed, but I'm sure that you'll enjoy watching the episode, thus far.

That's because people are just too damn lazy to even try and read something with subtitles. Seriously, when has humanity forgotten how important it is to just turn off the TV or stop watching videos on youtube, etc. and just pick up a damn book to read or just listen to an audio book as an alternative option?!

although when sharing it with young kids, they have the excuse of not being able to read well enough or fast enough to follow the subtitles. also many have a difficult time following the subtitles and following ways going on in the scene at the same time (that's the common excuse I get anyway)

Nicholai baylog That's very sad. Maybe better off if the little kids just grew up and start watching sentai at an older age. Preferably ages 13-up.

on the other hand it helps them to develop the ability to speed read.
