Power Rangers S.P.D. Episode #18
"Samurai"
[N/A]
Not in Deka.

The opening scene with the Jack vs Doggie sword fight, is new footage.

Monster lands on earth badly hurt and is found by Akaza BanBan (DekaRed)'s ancestor. Akaza Bannoshin.

Hey look, its Akaza Bannoshin!  Even though they sort of use this story, the whole Ancestor thing is lost because Jack doesnt look like Ban. Nor Jack's ancestor would have lived in Kyoto Japan.

[N/A]
There was no battle like this in Dekaranger.

They added an unmorphed Krybot fight to compensate for the cuts youll see later.

[CUT] Some Kyoto girls see the monster, Think he looks funny. So they attempt to take pictures of him with their cell phone. The monster gets angry and cuts a girl's phone in half.
[N/A]

[N/A]

[CUT] Ban does a pose before starting the roll call.

Why Ban is doing a
Hurricanger pose, is beyond me.
[N/A]

[N/A]

[CUT] DekaRed takes a sword strike to the head, not once, but twice in a row.

[N/A]

[N/A]

[CUT] As soon as Ban was forced to demorph, The monster recognizes him as his mentor. The monster eventually collapses. The rangers take him to "Toei Movie Studio" where the set looks just like Ancient Kyoto, the way the monster remembers it. The rangers dress up to go with the set. Eventually Ban slips up and reveals its a movie set.

The only trace of this in SPD, is when Broodwing takes Katana, they are in front of the Toei Movie Studio.

The DekaBase moves to reach Kyoto, but only by driving there.

Since Dekaranger is in Japan, of course they don't need HYPERSPEED. Because New Tech City is presumably in California, Needs to goto Kyoto Japan with the help of Hyperspeed.

They modified the background to have the following things:

1) Auckland Skyline
2) Flying Cars
3) When its in motion, the background speeds up as if they are warping.

The giant robot walks through Kyoto.
[N/A]

[N/A]

[CUT] DekaPink's machine gives the robot a warning.
[N/A]

[N/A]

Bullets with flying Shells

Lasers with no shells!

[CUT] When the camera does a close shot of the barrels firing, you can tell they are not lasers, they are bullets.
[N/A]

[N/A]

No Comic Book Lines.

Oddly, instead of just putting lines, they replace the shot with Stock footage. Noticably the cockpits arent aligned and. most notably, Jack does NOT move his arms, as if he's not following orders.


As soon as Ban starts to run out of the Cockpit, Doggie stops him and gives him his sword instantly.

[RESHOT] Instead of Jack running out, Jack BEGS Doggie to give him his sword. Note the background on both Doggie and Jack, both are different than the real cockpit.

[CUT] Finger Missiles are set up.
[N/A]

[N/A]

Missiles.

Lasers.

[N/A]

[N/A]

[CUT] DekaRed hits the monster in the gut with the pommel of his sword
[N/A]

[N/A]

[N/A]

[N/A]

[N/A]
Since the monster woke up after sleeping for 140 years and never time traveled, time holes do not appear. He was just let go to live with Kyoto's change.

Katana was sent back to his time through a time hole.
