History[]

Past[]

Jayden&Antonio

Jayden gives Antonio the OctoZord.

An unknown number of years ago, Antonio met and befriended Jayden Shiba and they became best friends with Antonio aspiring to become a samurai like Jayden was supposed to. Eventually though, Antonio's family moved away so they had to say goodbye although not before Jayden gave him the OctoZord as a parting gift.

Samurai[]

In 2011, Antonio returns to Panorama City shortly after the defeat of Robtish and announces his presence by sending an anonymous letter to Jayden and the other Samurai Rangers via arrow saying "See You Soon." The following day, Mia, Emily, Kevin, and Mike find out about the note and find Antonio selling fish only for him to flee when they discover him as he wants his reveal to be a surprise. They search for him only to be called away to fight Vulpes with Antonio following to reveal himself. He watches Vulpes defeat them before revealing himself and morphing, destroying Moogers and slaying Vulpes after some help from Jayden even as the Red Ranger is confused over Antonio's identity. When Vulpes enlarges, Antonio watches him fight the Battlewing Megazord only for the monster to go invisible so he uses the OctoZord to reveal him and allow the Megazord to destroy him. Afterwards, Antonio reveals himself and a combination of his appearance and the OctoZord allows Jayden to finally recognize him. Tvicon TV STORY-Unexpected Arrival

Shortly thereafter, Antonio arrives at the Shiba House but Mentor Ji initially doesn't allow him to join the others due to the fact that Ji thought he doesn’t know the dangers of being a Samurai and does not have the required training unlike the other Rangers who have been trained since childhood. A short time later, though, he becomes the 6th Samurai Power Ranger after he helps destroy Steeleto. Tvicon TV STORY-Room for One More

Despite the majority of the Samurai Rangers accepting Antonio, Kevin dislikes the Gold Ranger since his over the top and comical personality leads to Kevin thinking that Antonio thinks being a samurai is a fun game and not serious work. To work out their differences, the two go for a jog together which leads to them uncovering a plan by Octoroo and Antberry to create a well of Sanzu River water where Nighloks can re-energize without retreating. They attempt to fight the Nighlok but his Sanzu Slime causes them to lose their weapons and leads to Kevin being injured so they fall back. Whilst recovering, Kevin is treated by Antonio and learns of his more serious side when the Gold Ranger finds that the Sanzu Slime is useless when weapons are tied to the owners. After they defeat Antberry, Kevin accepts him as a Samurai Ranger and they become friends. Tvicon TV STORY-The Blue and the Gold

After proving himself to the Samurai Rangers, Antonio is given the damaged Samurai ClawZord to repair and later unlocks it to pull Splitface out of the Netherworld to save Emily and many other people. Tvicon TV STORY-Team Spirit

Super Samurai[]

As the genius of the Samurai Rangers, Antonio is given the Black Box after it is recovered with the mission to empower it with the Rangers' Symbol Power. After a small set-back caused by Arachnitor, Antonio successfully infuses it with their Symbol Power which grants them access to Super Samurai Mode. Tvicon TV STORY-Super Samurai

JaydenMeetsAntonio

Antonio meets Jayden again.

Antonio decides to take a day off from his Ranger duty and enjoy some fishing action. While he is at the docks, he loses his Samurai Morpher and he does not notice it is gone. Armadeevil is sent to destroy the city, and though the Rangers spring into action to counter the threat, they are beaten. They try to contact Antonio but he does not answer, which by now his Morpher is in the hands of Bulk and Spike. The Rangers must defeat an armored Nighlok without Antonio's help. Kevin comes up with a brilliant plan to beat the Nighlok and the Rangers win. Bulk and Spike ditch the Morpher in the spot they had found it, and Emily and Mike find it and Antonio at the docks. They return it to him as he doesn't even know it's missing. He checks and finds out he has 37 missed calls although Mike and Emily don't tell him about what happened. Tvicon TV STORY-Shell Game

SamuraiRangers (1)

Antonio finally as a Samurai Ranger.

Switchbeast, a Nighlok with the power to transport one's soul into an object, switches Antonio's soul into a fish. Antonio is shocked when he finds a cat about to eat him. Just before the cat is about to take a bite, Switchbeast is defeated and Antonio returns to his body although he then faints with shock. Tvicon TV STORY-Trading Places

Soon after, Antonio develops a fear of fish and later drops his Barracuda Blade mid-battle due to thinking it was a fish. The other Rangers try to help him, but fail to do so. As the Rangers go into battle against the newly emerged Serrator, Ji gives Antonio the LightZord and Antonio manages to bring it back to life, giving the team a new Zord. Ji snaps him back into his senses by surprisingly forcing a piece of sushi into Antonio which he eats with no problem before he leaves and drives off Serrator. Tvicon TV STORY-Something Fishy

After all of the contributions Antonio has brought to the team, Ji reveals that he has fully accepted Antonio as a Samurai Ranger. Tvicon TV STORY-The Rescue

Jayden asks Antonio to unlock the Samurai Gigazord but Antonio thanks Jayden for the vote of confidence and votes that Kevin is the best one to unlock Megazord combos, most likely due to the fact Kevin was the one who created the Battlewing Megazord. Tvicon TV STORY-Kevin's Choice

After the destruction of Master Xandred and the final defeat of the Nighlok, the Samurai Rangers disband with Antonio having won a world tour-style fishing expedition. Tvicon TV STORY-Samurai Forever
