Will this be a hit with the Japanese audience? And would it ever possibly mean some S.H. Figuarts of one or two of those beautiful Mega Mode Power Rangers Samurai? We're hoping for a Gold Ranger Mega Mode S.H. Figuart here!

A dub of a straight-out translation...

How bad can it be?

This should be...interesting.

Well Shinkenger was a snoozefest, Samurai was a pretty bad imitation of even that. So rolling the two together..... :lol

I'd like some Mega Mode and Shogun Battlized figuarts too but man it's a stretch with a show like this.

If it means I can get a Shogun Red Figuart, sure.

I won't expect a Shogun Figuart until we get the SPD Battlizer.

Despite being a pretty lousy series, Samurai always manages to look amazing when it comes to trailers.

I'm sure Japan will love it, given they seem to love both Shinkenger and Power Rangers.

That would be nice.

I really hope Japan doesn't miss out on RPM because of this.

Meh, if they do any Figuarts that are original to power rangers I'd rather we see a Lord Zedd or Titanum Ranger before any of the Battlizers.

I'm also disappointed that we didn't hear any of the voices in this trailer

Hmm... they only showed footage from the first half and nothing really from Super Samurai

I'd rather see a Ferbus Figuarts Zero before Samurai SHF. :p

On a more serious note a Shogun mode figuarts would be pretty sweet.

I was thinking the same thing...why dub the same exact story? It just feels redundant.

I can't help but think they're will be confused japanese kids watching.

Shinkenger's old enough for that to not be a widespread problem.

I think the most Japanese I heard spoken in that trailer was I think one line from master Ji drowned out by the GO GO SAMURAI RANGERS theme.

How many people are unaware that Toei does this on an almost regular basis? It's not been an annual occurrence, hence Paladin's remark about hoping for RPM, but it's happened with many past seasons. There was even a brief mention of dubbed Power Rangers in the second episode of Akibaranger (Ryuji Sainei/Ban was heading to a SPD event when Akagi ran into him). Previous dubs included about everything from MMPR to Turbo and Mystic Force. I forget what else, if any.

Even Dragon Knight got a Japanese dub, which was amazing due to the choice of voice actors. Bringing in Ren to voice Len... maaaaaaaaan.

This could mean BoJ might release the Mega Blade! Kids are gonna have fun that and same with the older age!

I think that's the first time I've ever seen someone refer to those Mega-Mode suits as "beautiful".

I think an argument could be made on the Shoguns, but not the Megas, they sort of suck.

I think the Mega Mode suits look pretty sweet, but the helmets with the mouths ruin them. That's why Gold is the best one.

I'd love to see the Dragon Knight dub, subbed.

Me too.
Even if it may sound like a waste of time for fansub groups, it would be pretty cool.

I think the mouths look cool on all of them except green.

But yeah, they're sweet suits. Like Kamen Rider suits. Great "upgrade" forms even if it's not what they are.

If we get to see a Mega Mode Gold and a Shogun Mode Red figuart, I will be happy. And hopefully they make a Titanium Ranger figuart when they dub Lightspeed Rescue

Lightspeed Rescue is over a decade old, I'm sure by now, it's not when they dub it, it's if they dubbed it.

Lightspeed Rescue WAS dubbed, but some episodes were skipped.

In fact, it was the last dub until SPD.
