Jayden's Challenge is the twelfth episode of Power Rangers Samurai. It is the conclusion of a two-part arc that delves into Jayden's past as a child and his relationship with his father, the previous Red Samurai Ranger. The episode also introduces the Battlewing Megazord.

Synopsis[]

Jayden leaves the Shiba house hoping to keep the other Rangers out of harm's way but when Robtish reemerges, Jayden finally accepts the fact that he needs his team to fulfill his role as the leader of the Samurai Rangers.

Plot[]

At night, Jayden leaves the Shiba House due to Robtish's actions against them.

As he is going, Mentor Ji looks outside the Shiba House wondering where Jayden might be but hopes that Jayden will overcome and have the strength he needs to lead his team in the next Nighlok attack.

Elsewhere, Bulk and Spike have gone to bed. As Bulk was telling a bedtime story, Spike went fast asleep, dreaming about the Pink Samurai Ranger who he fell in love with.

In the morning at the Shiba House, Kevin is busy drawing up a new Megazord blueprint, which is combining the Samurai Megazord and Battlewing. Everyone is busy with doing their stuff.

Back at the Sanzu River, Dayu's playing music on her harmonium while Octoroo is worried that Master Xandred will be very angry at Robtish saying that he failed to destroy Jayden, the Red Ranger. Robtish told Octoroo that the Rangers had help from a half-human. Dayu was thinking that the half-human Robtish explained to Octoroo is Deker (it actually was), then Master Xandred woke up in a very angry mood because he thought that Deker was working for the Rangers (he actually isn't), then he said that he was going to destroy him, but then Xandred took the bowl of liquid from Robtish that was he holding, and drank it. After he drank it, he immediately realized that what he drank wasn't his medicine, then he raged and shattered the bowl to pieces by slamming it onto the floor of the ship, then Furry Warts pop up from the ceiling and Octoroo said to them that they make terrible pets.

As the Rangers are recovering, they acknowledge the fact the Jayden was hurt to see his friends take hits for him. Jayden must find it hard to have the fate of the whole world in his hands.

In the Netherworld, Master Xandred is enraged at Deker, who is busy walking along the seabed coast and summons some Moogers to destroy him. Deker quickly disposes of them, and then Master Xandred appears and challenges him. They fight well, but Master Xandred uses a move to bind him and let his Moogers do the work. Deker demorphs, destroying the Moogers and tells Master Xandred that because of his half-human form, he is allowed to leave the Netherworld as he pleases, and then disappears. Xandred is displeased still. On the ship, Octoroo tells Dayu that Master Xandred almost had him and then Dayu gets worried.

Jayden then goes to the park and sees a kid crying. He makes the kid happy by making paper planes. Jayden thinks to himself this is how it should be. Suddenly, Robtish and his Moogers attack, in which Jayden tells the teachers to get the kids to safety. The crying kid goes to Robtish, picks his paper plane up, and Robtish looks down, in which Jayden takes him away. He tries to defend himself aganist the Moogers, but they easily knock him down.

The other Rangers come to save him, and when they are finished they focus on Robtish. Robtish is defeated by all of the Rangers and turns into a Mega-Monster.

The Samurai Rangers then make their Megazord, and Robtish begins to summon his Flying Moogers to create havoc on the Samurais. Kevin gives Jayden his sketchbook, and along with Mike, form the Samurai Battlewing, make a Samurai combination, and create the Battlewing Megazord. They fly in the air, destroying many Flying Moogers along the way, until the Moogers begin to retreat. The Battlewing Megazord however, catches up with them and quickly dispose of them and begin to fight Robtish. They use their Mega Blades, and quickly defeat Robtish.

Jayden then accepts the fact he needs his team to protect the world, and to fulfill his role as the leader of the Samurai Rangers.
