Power Discs (Samurai)

This article is about a set of power-up implements in Power Rangers Samurai and Power Rangers Super Samurai.

Standard Disc

The Samurai Rangers' Power Discs are 'animation' discs that store symbol power for use with the Spin Sword, its various forms and their zords. The Rangers each initially have a Standard disc and a Power Disc TV STORY-Day Off based on their animal zords. There are other discs tied to zords that have been lost before but have been regained. When used with the Spin Sword, the discs are spun and the mirrored hilts reveal each discs animation as the power is summoned.
