The BullZord is the sixth episode of Power Rangers Super Samurai, the second season of Power Rangers Samurai. It is the introduction of the BullZord, the Grand Shogun and the Shogun Mode Battlizer.
Synopsis[]
Cody, whose family was the protector of the very first Samurai Zord, the Bull Zord, unleashes it by unlocking an ancient seal; Jayden gets a power disk to tame the beast as it goes on a wild rampage and heads for the city.[1]
Plot[]
Serrator spots Cody, a young Guardian walking along the woods. He instructs his Nighlok lackey Crustor to shadow him.
It turns out that the young boy was headed to the Shiba House to ask the Samurai Rangers for their help in freeing the BullZord.
Jayden insists on bringing him home and there they meet Cody's father. Cody's father tells them of how 300 years ago the BullZord came to this dimension, but was so uncontrollable that the Grand Shogun demanded it be locked away for eternity. Mia then comes in saying that Cody is missing.
Cody is running for the BullZord's location. Crustor then comes out of a gap and begins to stalk him. As he does, Cody runs into the place where BullZord is sealed and Crustor finds it.
Cody uses his Symbol Power to release the BullZord, who goes on a rampage. Cody thinks that the disc he has, which is fake, places it to give it some extra power. Unfortunately it goes on a rampage and destroys everything. As the BullZord is released, its power was released and everyone took notice of it.
The Samurai Rangers then go into Mega Mode power and Crustor's Giant Moogers show up. The ClawZord and Samurai Megazord fight the Moogers and are trapped by them. The BullZord also gets trapped by several Giant Moogers, but it manages to break free. The BullZord also defeats the Samurai Megazord and escapes.
The Rangers send their FoldingZords to track Cody and it is sucessful. Cody is in the BullZord's sealed location. On the way, they are stopped by Crustor and his Mooger minions. The Rangers hold them off and Mia tells Jayden to chase after Crustor, in which he does. Crustor then arrives in the location and attempts to threaten Cody, who Jayden says threating little kids is sad. Jayden gives Cody the real disc, and Cody uses his Symbol Power to tame the BullZord. As they are fighting, Cody warns them that the BullZord is about to fall off a cliff, and it threatens to destroy the city below.
While Jayden and Crustor are fighting, Cody fails to tame the BullZord. Jayden tells Cody that he needs to concentrate, in which he does and manages to sucessfully tame the BullZord, who almost crashed into the city below. Jayden uses his finisher to force Crustor out of the BullZord, who explodes as he rammed into it. The Grand Shogun then appears, and tells them that the Samurai Rangers now have the power of the shogun. Crustor then appears and gets angry and attempts to destroy the BullZord if no one can have it. Jayden then teleports Cody home and begins the fight with Crustor.
Jayden gets the use of the BullZord and turns it into a fightable Megazord. As they are fighting, Crustor overwhelms Jayden until he uses the BullZord's shoulder blasters. The revolving laser blaster take its toll, and Crustor finally explodes again.
Cody and his father thank the Rangers, and the Rangers thank Cody for making the BullZord tamable.

Errors[]
- During the part where Cody seals the BullZord in the Shogun Disc the third time Cody tries to use the sealing spell the BullZord disc can be seen in the mantle instead then on the fourth and final time the Shogun reappears in the mantle
- Despite Jayden trying to stop Crustor from taking the Bullzord and Cody along with it, he was nowhere to be found running after Crustor to stop him in the cockpit, and yet he strangely appeared out of nowhere in the next shot.
- When the Bullzord leaned sideways, the Megazord was shown to be falling backwards. In the close up shot of the Megazord falling, it's shown to falling forwards.
- After the Bullzord was charging the Megazord, a flipped shot of the Megazord falling of the Bullzord appears.
- When Jayden controlled one of the Megazord's arms, begging for the Bullzord to go back to them, the Megazord's right arm was moving, but the camera showed Jayden's left arm controlling the Megazord instead of his right arm.
- When the Rangers enter their zords, except for Jayden, their in the wrong icon boxes, Kevin is in Mia's box, Mia is in Emily's box, Emily is in Mike's box, and Mike is in Kevin's box.
