New “Power Rangers Samurai” synopsis confuses order
Nickelodeon has sent out a press release regarding the February 7th premiere of Power Rangers Samurai. From there, the series will regularly run Sundays at noon.
The notable part is the following paragraph:
In the action-packed premiere episode, “The Team Unites,” after Mike can’t anticipate an attack like Kevin and Jayden, 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.
Notably, the episode appears to be the adaptation of the third episode of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. All footage from aired promos have ben of what appears to be an adaptation of the first two episodes of the series.
A few things could be happening here. The synopsis could be of a 2nd or 3rd episode of the series, and for a “sneak preview”, would function as more of an example of how the series would go instead of a series premiere. It also could be the first episode outright, saving the “origin” for later in the series.
