Power Rangers Samurai/Trivia


  • Bad Export for You: Only the Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Gold Ranger, and the Megazord appeared in Malaysia, as a McDonald's Happy Meal toy.
  • Fake Nationality: Steven Skyler, Antonio's actor, is not Spanish at all. He's Thai/German and just happens to look kinda Spanish. [It's especially funny because Hector David, Jr. (Mike the Green Ranger), really is Latino, though not actually Spanish (different sources claim he's either Puerto Rican or Cuban.)]
    • Additionally, despite being about Samurai and being the most Japan-centric season Rangers has ever done, Erika Fong (the Asian member of the team) is actually descended from a Korean mother and Chinese father. Eventually you have to wonder if maybe the ancient Samurai deliberately did this to protect their families and throw off the Nighlocks.
    • Many assumed that Deker was meant to be Japanese, giving how close the series was sticking to Shinkenger. However, this seems to have been averted, as his backstory has been altered.
  • Fan Nickname: Mentor Mentor; or Mentor, the Mentor
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Steven Skyler previously appeared as one of the Dalton Warblers in Glee in the episode "Never Been Kissed".
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: The MOTW in Antonio's episode introduction is voiced by Ari Boyland, who played Flynn from Power Rangers RPM. Pity as he didn't voice the Scottish MOTW in the previous episode.
    • Antberry is voiced by Barnie Duncan, AKA Piggy/Toby.
  • Name's the Same: Mike has the same first name as Power Rangers Lost Galaxy's Magna Defender, Mike Corbett.
  • One of Us: With the exception of Steven Skyler (who said he didn't watch much TV at all as a kid,) all the Ranger actors have mentioned watching Power Rangers as kids and being fans when they were younger. Take that with a grain of salt, since a few sounded like they were being told what to say (and odds are pretty good at least one of them wouldn't have been)... with the exception of Hector David, Jr. (Mike), who's clearly getting the biggest thrill out of it.
  • Talking to Himself: Master Xandred and Octoroo are both voiced by Jeff Szusterman.
  • What Could Have Been: Spike's actor actually tried out for the part of the Gold Ranger.
    • An anon on 4chan's /m/ signed up for the role of the Green Ranger but didn't get the part.
    • Antonio's name was originally Wesley, but that wouldn't work out, I guess...
    • According to a recent interview, during the audition process, at one point, they moved Hector David, Jr. over to the Gold Ranger.
    • Originally Amit Bhaumik proposed that this series was to take place in Stone Canyon and Mia would be a relative of Cassie but Jonathan Tzachor decided not to go with this idea.
