Power Rangers Prime is set to deliver an epic final conflict in its upcoming finale, as the Prime Rangers have been confronted by the herald of the Legion Ravager in the form of a corrupted Gold Ranger (Trey of Triforia). The series has now revealed he isn’t the only corrupted Ranger in the finale, as Power Rangers #15 and concept art from Federico Sorressa (via CosmicRanger) have showcased the new corrupted Samurai Red Ranger, who is actually Lauren Shiba’s father.
The Corrupted Samurai Red Ranger Is Heartbreaking For Power Rangers Prime’s Leader
The corrupted Samurai Red Ranger boasts a pretty slick-looking design and keeps the overall tone and design elements from the corrupted Gold Ranger. That’s fitting if you’ve read Power Rangers Prime #15, which shows that Lauren’s father has become a follower of the Legion Ravager, and therefore an ally of the corrupted Gold Ranger as well.
Lauren has been looking for her family for years, who were captured by the Eltarians and moved around so that Lauren couldn’t track them down. Not only was her father captured, but so was her little brother Jayden, and in Power Rangers Prime issue #14, they are finally reunited, but issue #15 starts to show that everything’s not right with Mr. Shiba, who has convinced Jayden to also join the cause.
