We've heard from Tony Oliver that Samurai is going to be a literal translation of Shurikenger. With some comedy that will be original ( written by Tony Oliver himself).

Some fans don't like the idea of Power Rangers following the Sentai too closely, especially if there is no real reason to do so. We know Jonathon Tzachor likes to stay close to Sentai. And he is back at the helm this year. Seasons that stick too closely to the Sentai haven't always been a commercial success. Many would argue that PR needs to be its own show.

But at the same time we shouldn't get all up in arms yet. We still need to see Samurai first before we judge.
