Shogun Battlizer

"Calling On The Power Our Ancestor!, Shogun Battlizer!" Shogun Mode, named after The Grand Shogun and alternatively dubbed "Power of the Ancestors", appeared in the Super Samurai episode The BullZord. The Shogun Mode is an indication that the Rangers have attained the highest mastery of their symbol power. In the case of the red ranger, the kanji on the crown, combined with the kanji on the helmet represent the symbol for "flame".[1] While it grants a lot of power during use, it also requires a lot of power to activate. Because of this, its primary activation is through the Shogun Buckle, which only appears in the Super or Shark Attack Mega Modes.[2] [3]

While all of the rangers gained access to the Shogun Mode, only three of them used it in the series. Shogun Mode saw the most usage in the Megazord cockpits. The Black Box boosted Mega Modes provided ample power to activate it; and in turn, its use made the generally symbol power heavy Megazord finishers a non issue. In a more traditional Battlizer fashion, it was used on ground by the Red Ranger inSamurai Forever to end Master Xandred's first life. The finishing move is called "Shogun Strike".
