I had seen Shinken ahead of Samurai myself having streamed it on Kiss Asian. I do agree with the copy paste argument. Saban Era II had tried to bring some original stuff in for Samurai. It was a nice attempt. However when I kept seeing Japanese episode by that sort of lost a bit of credibility for me.

There Go The Brides was a gender swap for Em for the Samurai adaption but all plots were the same. Except for He Ain't Heavy Metal He's My Brother. Not sure if Strange Case Of The Munchies was original.

Beast Morphers had kept the bit about Massiah being trapped in cyber space so that plot was pulled from Go Busters. The rest of Beast Morphers was original with the the Morph X plot.

Another case was the main plot from Operation Overdrive with the hunt for the jewels of the Carona Arora. The relic hunt was carried over from Bouken.

Jungle Fury played off Rio and Mele start to finish including Rio's temple.

Mega Force part 1 changed out the Angel theme.

Ninja Steel had the TV game show tweek.

Dino Fury had swapped out the Minisaur created from people aspect of Ryu.

So some of it was copy paste.
