 This article is about a Zord in Power Rangers Super Samurai.
|
LightZord (nicknamed "LZ" by Antonio Garcia) is a miniature attack Zord owned by Antonio. He is normally in the form of the Power Disc-shooting lantern. When the LightZord is in use, the Gold Ranger wields a blade which he uses as a weapon. When the LightZord's own Mega Mode is activated via the Samurai Morpher, it transforms into the Light Megazord.
Overview[]
- LightZord Battle Disc Scattershot: in Lantern Mode, with the blade pressing the back, the LightZord launches rapid-fire several Power Discs.
Appearances: SS Episodes 4, 5, 7-12, 15, 17-19
History[]
The LightZord's original lantern form
With Antonio unable to use his Barracuda Blade because of his fear of fish, Ji decides to let him have a crack at programming the LightZord, yet another of the previous Samurai Rangers arsenal that was developed but never finished. Ji, convinced Antonio can completely program it with his Symbol Power of Light, given his history with programming both the ClawZord and the Black Box (as well as presumably, controlling the OctoZord and creating his own Samurai Morpher) helps him get over his fear by working on the new Zord.
LightZord and Antonio's blade
Once finished, Antonio uses the miniature Zord against Serrator and activates its Mega Mode to attack Papyrox. 
TV STORY-Something Fishy The LightZord also helps Antonio use his light Symbol powers to work on various Samurai artillery. Using the LightZord, Antonio manages to unlock the ability to access the Shark Disc, which can be used to unlock the Shark Attack Mode for the Rangers or the SharkZord to use in Megazord Mode, at any time they desired. TV STORY-The Rescue
Light Megazord[]
- Light Megazord Blazing Strike: The Megazord lights up with a blinding flash, before rapidly moving to another attack position. This can also be done while the Megazord compresses its lantern section to avoid attacks.
- Light Megazord Mega Spin Attack: The Megazord spins rapidly in the air with its arms horizontally positioned like a chopper.
- Battle Disc Attack: The Megazord releases a single Power Disc and throws it at the opponent.
- Scattershot: Similar to its attack in Lantern Mode, the Megazord launches its Power Discs at the enemy in rapid succession. However, the Megazord guides the shots by moving them around and directing them with its arms.
Appearances: SS Episodes 4, 9, 11, 15

Samurai LightZord[]
Combining with the Dragon, Bear, Ape, and Turtle FoldingZords, the LightZord becomes the Samurai LightZord, with the LightZord's arms being used as a weapon. TV STORY-Trust Me (Super Samurai)
It attacks with the Blaster Disc, which is multiplied to reach its opponent. Its finishing attack involves a spear-like weapon that is made up from the LightZord's arms, but this attack was never seen in the series.
