"This is to be yours. One day, the great responsibility of being the Red Ranger will fall to you. Remember, protect the world from evil, standby your allies, and never run from a battle."

―Mr. Shiba's last words to his son before his death.^[src]

Mr. Shiba was the previous Red Samurai Ranger before his children, Jayden and Lauren, as well as the 17th leader of the Shiba clan, he was only able to seal Master Xandred temporarily.

History

Knowing that he couldn't master the Sealing Symbol, Mr. Shiba put his faith in his son Jayden and daughter Lauren. Before leaving for his battle, he gave Jayden the Lion FoldingZord. Soon Master Xandred and his Nighloks were waging an intense battle that overwhelmed the Rangers.

Mr. Shiba began to perform the symbol during battle, hoping that even an imperfect seal would at least temporarily send Xandred away along enough for Lauren and Jayden to defeat him as adults. According to Lauren during Shattered Grid, Mr. Shiba perished that night while performing the seal.

Years later, Lauren had successfully perfected the Sealing Symbol and returned to seal Master Xandred forever. However, Master Xandred absorbed Dayu and gained an immunity to it, effectively rendering all of Lauren's effort to master it in vain. Despite this, Jayden and his team are able to finally destroy Master Xandred once and for all, avenging Mr. Shiba's death in the progress.
