Trivia[]
- Samurai Sentai Shinkenger by itself, was not dubbed in English, as most countries outside of Asia showed its' adaptation being Power Rangers Samurai. However, the crossover episodes that involved the team, were dubbed in English, making it the very first time that Kamen Rider teamed up with its' sister franchise Super Sentai. In addition, it's the first time that a Super Sentai team post-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, appeared in English dubbed media. [2]
