Introduction
In Power Rangers Samurai, the five Samurai Rangers' Folding Zords can combine into the Samurai Megazord. They pilot the Zords by writing the kanji for "super" (超, chō). The Rangers can combine the Zords into the Samurai Megazord by writing the kanji for "unite" (合, gō) It can summon a katana and a shield, resembling their Samurai disks, for protection. It resembles an ancient samurai.
Overview
Samurai Megazord has some unique properties to it's moves, making it a bit more involved than the other zords. It also has strong defensive utility due to it's L effect having multiple hitboxes that go off in sequence, constantly protecting the player, but no mix-up tools such as overheads, lows, or unblockables.

Omamori. A wheel slams down, which then applies 5 hitboxes around your character in sequence, each applying a different state.
The order is as follows
Red: Causes a crumple
Pink: Causes a wallbounce
Green: Causes a restand
Blue: Causes a freeze
Yellow: Causes a capture
Each state will OTG, and is one of the best reasons to play Samurai Zord, as the hitboxes trigger regardless of what you do, so you can move and mix up the opponent without needing to attack and can block during the hitboxes too.
