Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

• Sambaba is voiced by Shintarō Asanuma (浅沼 晋太郎, Asanuma Shintarō), who will later voiced Zyuran/Zenkai Zyuran in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger. His suit actor is Hiroyuki Muraoka.

Notes

• Sambaba's name comes from "Samba ", a lively, rhythmical dance of Afro Brazilian origin.
• Sambaba's dance looks similar to the transformation dance from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. The music that plays is also similar to the music played during the Transformation Sequence of Kyoryuger.
  • In a nod to Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Sambaba also says "I'm burning up!" when he surrounds him in fire and attacks the Zyuohgers with a very fast rush attack, similar to Takaharu Igasaki.
  • Sambaba's name and when he say "carnival", it's maybe a reference to Kyoryu Red Samba Carnival.
• Like all Zyuohger enemies, Sambaba shares elements from past sentai villains. One of the most noteworthy is The Gerzol from Flashman, and Transcendenterfly God Deboth from Kyoryuger.
• Similar to Hunterji, Mantle and Sumotron (and unlike other Players), he responds to Naria's Continue by saying "Arigato, Naria" (Which is Japanese for "Thank You"; and prevously said by Hunterji).
