When the Nighloks are revived and begin to attack the mortal realm, Jayden of the Shiba Clan takes arms to fight them as the Red Ranger. After defeating the company of Moogers, Jayden is informed by his mentor, Ji, that he must assemble his team of Samurai Rangers instead of fighting on his own. Meanwhile, on the Sanzu River, the incredibly powerful Master Xandred finally awakens. Upon learning that the Samurai Rangers still exist, he becomes enraged and sends the Nighlok Tooya to attack the humans with an army of Moogers. Ji summons four other warriors: Olympic swimmer Kevin, kindergarten teacher Mia, carefree gamer Mike, and pure-hearted country-girl Emily. Upon meeting the four, Jayden gives each one a chance to back out of his crusade, and when all four decline, he gives each one a Samuraizer phone. Jayden, Emily, Kevin, Mia, and Mike then take on Tooya and his numerous Moogers. Red Ranger defeats Tooya, but despite that, he tells his teammates to remain on their guard. Sure enough, the Nighlok is reborn as his secondary form, a titanic mega-monster, so the Samurai Rangers enlarge their Foldingzords to confront and destroy him. After the battle, Ji welcomes Emily, Kevin, Mia, and Mike into the Shiba House. All five warriors become full-fledged Power Rangers.
After joining Jayden as his teammates, Emily, Kevin, Mia, and Mike begin their transition into Samurai Rangers. However, while Mike spars with Kevin, Emily disappears. Kevin, Mia, and Mike discover her practicing at a nearby park, revealing her reasons for becoming a Samurai Ranger. Meanwhile, Bulk is reunited with Spike, the son of his best friend Skull, and he becomes committed to training his nephew into becoming a samurai. When the Nighlok Scorpionic appears, four of the Samurai Rangers deal with the Moogers while Red Ranger fights the new Nighlok. During the battle, Red Ranger keeps a young girl out of harm's way before the Rangers defeat Scorpionic with their combined Spin Sword attacks. But when Scorpionic revives into a Mega Monster, the Rangers combine their Foldingzords to form the Samurai Megazord to destroy him and his giant Mooger army. After the battle, Ji congratulates the Rangers while Mike uses his symbol ability to create confetti before dancing all over the house.

In the Sanzu River, Octoroo says Master Xandred won't be happy when he finds out Jayden is still alive. Robtish replies he couldn't finish Jayden off because of a half-human, and Dayu (who is also half-human but with no human form) thinks it is Deker.

As Antonio heads to the Shiba House, the others listen to Jayden and Ji talk of young Antonio. Jayden gave him the Octozord and threatened to quit his training if Ji tried to take back the Octozord. Antonio makes an entrance, all fancy, but when his fish hook rips his pants, he feels embarrassed. Antonio explains that after moving away when he was a kid, he trained himself to be a samurai and built his Samurai-Morpher from a trashed cellphone to communicate with Octozord through text Zords understand the Rangers.

However, it was never finished, and no one has ever managed to complete it. Jayden doesn't think it's a good idea when Emily says that maybe Antonio could do it since he programmed the claw Zord even though he lacks the symbol power training and Jayden's dismay, they agree. Jayden takes The Rangers to the Tengen Gate, where they meet the gate's guardian, Daisuke, to hand them the Black Box. Daisuke tells the Rangers a folk tale about a Nighlok king who turned a woman and the man she loved into Nighloks. While Xandred is incapacitated regenerating in the Sanzu River, a Nighlok named Arachnitor tries to overthrow him and tries to force the sealing symbol from Jayden. Octoroo, because of Arachnitor, poisons Jayden as the Rangers sit for tea, trying to get the special sealing symbol from him. While Jayden is poisoned, the other Rangers face off against Arachnitor but are doing poorly without their leader. While the Rangers are distracted, Deker kidnaps Jayden when Antonio confronts Octoroo, planning on purging the poison in him in a nearby river so that they can finally duel.

While Antonio tries to work on the Black Box, the others Rangers recover, leave their ranger discs for Antonio to access the Black Box, and end up fighting a mutated Arachnitor. At the Shiba House, Antonio tries to work on the Black Box. Still, before fully unlocking it, Antonio figures out where Jayden is and decides to help him as he does not have energy symbol energy to finish unlocking the Black Box yet. Antonio then convinces Deker not to duel Jayden until he is back to full strength and insists on a duel the following day, or he would release his Nighlok side on innocent people to force Jayden to agree to the duel. Jayden and Antonio join the other rangers to fend off Arachnitor, who flees before being defeated, leaving the rangers to fend off giant Moogers instead, which the rangers destroy with the Battlewing Megazord and the Claw Zord.

Devastated, Dayu escapes into the human world to fix it. Meanwhile, the Rangers face the Nighlok Rhinosnorus, who traps Dayu and Mia, and Antonio in a dream world. Jayden uses his symbol power to open a portal to the Dream World, allowing Kevin and Mike to enter, but severely exhausts himself in the process, preventing himself from tagging along. In the dream world, aside from Bulk and Spike's ridiculous fantasies of being samurai along with Antonio's dream of a fishing champion, Mia learns that Dayu and Deker were both once human, and the two humans are previously mentioned in Daisuke's story. After Rhinosnorus is defeated, Deker shows up to challenge an exhausted Jayden.[1]

Continuing from the end of the last episode, Deker demands Jayden to duel him. Jayden tells Deker he only fights to protect the innocent and not out of amusement. Deker gives him 24 hours before the duel, or else his Nighlok side will start attacking innocent people, should Jayden fail to show up. Kevin and the other rangers try to talk Jayden out of fighting Deker alone instead of defeating him as a team. Jayden refuses and tells them he must be the one to duel Deker, or Deker will never give up. Just as Jayden prepares to leave the next day, Rhinosnorus attacks once more, and Jayden puts Kevin in charge of leading the team while he fights Deker. The Rangers defeat Rhinosnorus while Jayden battles Deker. The battle rages on, with both combatants evenly matched. Eventually, Jayden allows Deker to injure him to get close enough to finish Deker off. Deker's sword Uramasa is broken, and half of it gets stuck into the ground nearby. Deker thanks Jayden for the Ultimate duel, which has released him from his Nighlok curse, before vanishing in a puff of smoke. Back at the Shiba House, Jayden thanks Kevin for leading the team in his absence as they all celebrate their victory.

722Movie–Special"Clash of the Red Rangers: The Movie"Jonathan TzachorJames W. BatesNovember 26, 2011 (2011-11-26)

In another dimension of Earth, the RPM Red Ranger Scott uses the Skyrev Megazord to fight Venjix's general Professor Cog in the deserts outside of Corinth. Cog tricks Scott into lowering his guard and then escapes the battle. In a subway within the Samurai Rangers dimension, Professor Cog and his Grinders enter the scene. In the city, the Rangers battle Sharkjaw and the Gold Ranger joins the fight, but he was late. Professor Cog is surprised to learn that Rangers exist in this dimension but dismisses them as mere pests. Sharkjaw retreats after drying up, and Octoroo tells him he is no longer needed as General Gut and his army of Moogers are waiting to attack in the human world. Professor Cog enters the Netherworld to meet Master Xandred. Professor Cog wants to use some of the Sanzu River to poison the humans in his dimension in return for the destruction of the Samurai Rangers. Master Xandred agrees to the plan. Back in the subway, the RPM Red Ranger makes his appearance. The Rangers are celebrating their victory with ice cream when they run into a swarm of Grinders. Their swords prove ineffective against the Grinders until Red RPM Ranger joins the battle and destroys all the grinders. The Rangers bring him to the Shiba House so that he can explain his story. Scott doesn't de-morph because he fears he might not breathe as he is more accustomed to the atmosphere of a protective biosphere from his dimension. Later the Grinders make their attack on Antonio, who morphs and fights the Grinders. The Gap Sensor alerts the Rangers to battle. Scott gets there early by taking Mentor Ji’s bike and helps out Antonio while the Rangers and Professor Cog enter the fray. Cog uses his hypno-bolts on Jayden and Scott (which will slowly cause them to distrust each other), and he uses his Portal attack to the other Rangers into his dimension. At the docks, Cog blasts the Red Rangers into the water and leaves. Jayden tries to help Scott, who gives him the cold shoulder. Jayden is worried about his friends, but Scott tells him that the Rangers will help them. Back at the Sanzu River, the Grinders start collecting the Sanzu River. At the Shiba House, Jayden and RPM Red Ranger meet up with Mentor Ji, who pinpoints Cog, Sergeant Tread, and General Gut. Jayden morphs into action and summons a horse while Scott takes the bike again. Both Rangers race to the scene. Scott is bitter that Jayden beat him to the scene, and the two Rangers battle each other as Cog watches. After a brief fight, the Rangers both appear unscathed, much to Professor Cog’s confusion. Mentor Ji had noticed the effect of the hypno-bolts and reversed the poison with symbol power. The Rangers were staging the fight to fool Professor Cog. The Red Rangers work together to fight the villains, powering up to Shark Attack (Scott) and Super Modes (Jayden). During the fight, the Rangers return to join the fight (courtesy of Dr. K and the RPM rangers) and defeat Professor Cog and Sergeant Tread. They then turn their attention to the Mooger army. The Rangers summon the warhorses and head towards the Mooger army while the Gold Ranger and RPM Red Ranger use a car. The Rangers work together to trim down the army size. Red Ranger faces off against General Gut, who knocks him to the ground. As General Gut is about to finish him off, Jayden uses the Shark Disc to defeat the swarm of Moogers, and together the Rangers defeat General Gut, who grows into his Mega mode form. After a brief battle, General Gut reveals his True form, which includes a Serpent monster attached to his body. The Rangers form the Samurai Shark Megazord to defeat him finally. Antonio and Scott watch from afar until Scott asks Antonio to help him fix the damaged car unless they want to walk it back. Back at the Sanzu River, Master Xandred is furious with the failure as Octoroo tries to calm him down. Back at the subway, Scott says goodbye to his new friends before wishing Mike good luck with Emily.
