I don't believe in soul mates but damn if Jayden Shiba and Antonio Garcia make me reconsider I mean JESUS. Every trope in the book. Long lost childhood friends. Antonio (bright, flamboyant, pun-making, devastatingly brilliant) promises his best friend Jayden (lonely, isolated not-quite-heir in the tower convinced his life will only ever amount to him sacrificing it to lead a team and save the world) that he will become the first Samurai Ranger not from one of the Samurai bloodlines in history and then HE DOES THE STRAIGHT UP IMPOSSIBLE JUST BECAUSE HE PROMISED HE WOULD. He shows back up and we get the first genuine smile from Jayden in the whole show (first relief we see, first glimpse at him without the world on his shoulders). Then Antonio drops the iconic "believe it baby, I'm back" and they spar and Jayden says "still think you can take me" and it's the most tension nickelodeon has ever shown in its entire existence and I am 11 when this show aired with no idea that gay people existed and my parents had just gotten divorced so when I tell you that these two convinced me that love existed, you've gotta understand the IMPACT they had-
*clears throat* Sorry about that.
Anyway, in this essay I will-

Lauren: So what exactly is Deker?
Antonio: Either Jayden's stalker or ex?
Lauren: Ex? Please, like he could pull anyone, not an insult but have you met him?

The really tried to convince me Antonio was the reckless one and Jayden was the responsible one.
Like Antonio wasn't stopping Jayden from almost getting himself killed constantly. Like this man wasn't in charge of 2 megazords.
And than you have Jayden over here getting poisoned and still trying the guy who wants to kill him.

Jayden: I fell-
Antonio: From heaven? 
Jayden: No, I literally fell- 
Antonio: In love with me the moment you saw me? 
Jayden: MY ARM IS BROKEN! 
Antonio: Okay, but do you think I'm pretty? Be honest.

They don't need me- A Jayden Shiba imagine
So I am 18 years old and I still find myself crushing on the red ranger of the Power Rangers Samurai aka Jayden Shiba (in the first season) and I just feel like I have to write my imaginations I feel like it'll be fun. Plus, no one knows who I am here so I wont get mocked :)
Imagine this: you switch places with Kevin when the nighlock takes possession of him, believing that the team need him more than you, especially jayden but little does she know...
Episode : I've got a spell on Blue
PS: Her name is Ember, imagine her as you want, and she has the ability to manipulate fire and able to preform protection spells (think of her as bloom from winx club I guess)
Yes, I know this is a major twist in the plot but this is how I always imagine it.
credits to power rangers, they own everything.
____________________________________________________________
After a fight with the Nighlock had gone south, the rangers and Ember were on their way back to the dojo where Mentor was waiting for them. Concern clear on face.
It only grew as he saw the cuts and bruises and torn clothes.
"this isn't good, its going to very hard to break that monsters spell on the tiger zord and Kevin" he said as he followed them inside and walked along side Jayden.
Mike, Emily and Mia all sat down whilst Ember leaned against the wall, groaning in pain as her entire body ached from being slashed by Kevins spin sword. She wanted to use her powers to defend herself but at the same time, she didn't want to risk hurting Kevin with her fire power.
Jaydens head turned quickly after hearing the noise, feeling the smallest bit of concern but quickly covering it again and turning to mentor.
"we need a plan" he said firmly.
"Jayden, you must be prepared to make tough choices if need be" mentor says to him.
"I know Ji" Jayden replies.
a pause takes over the room before he speaks again.
"But lets figure out a way to break the nighlocks hold on Kevin before it gets to that"
The rangers look solemnly at one another.
But Ember had her own thought progress going on.
The rangers look really upset, I can imagine they are all very worried for Kevin. I understand why, Kevin is the brains of the Samurai rangers and trains harder than anybody else. He gets along with everyone, well maybe not so much with Mike but its gotten better
She quitely snickers to herself at that last bit before she continues to think.
They need him, otherwise the whole team might fall apart
A thought popped into her head.
What if… What if I could trade places with Kevin? I mean I am probably more valuable than Kevin because of my powers, I would be of more use to the nighlock. Besides, I’m not one of the rangers or part of their group, they need Kevin more than they need me. 
Hopefully the protection spells will enable me to break the nighlocks hold before the rangers find out
Suddenly, she feels determined to return Kevin to the rangers.
"Excuse me for a second" she says quietly to the others before dashing off the her room, hoping that the others think she just needs to lay down.
When the rangers start to chatter again, she quietly walks to double doors, pulls them open and walks out, closing the door quietly behind her. She takes off for the forest.
__________________________________________________________
"Show yourself nighlock!"
As soon as she got to the forest, she immediately starts trying to attract the nighlocks attention. She spins around in circles, hoping to catch a glimpse of him somewhere.
"I have a deal for you!" she yells into the air.
When that doesn't spark anything, she tries again.
"I am more useful than the blue ranger, I will be able to inflict more damage and pain on the rangers. Release the blue ranger and take control of me instead!!" suddenly, she hears the sound of lightning
He's here.
"hmm I know you, you're the rangers little pet who always stays behind and does nothing" he retorts.
"that's one way to phrase it" she shrugs her shoulders.
He points a claw at her "how do I know you're not lying"
Ember smirks.
She closes her eyes and when she opens them, her eyes are a bright burning orange. She raises her hands up and out comes fire, growing larger and larger, she moves her wrists to spread the fire around them, creating a ring and trapping them both. With two snaps of her fingers, the fire is gone.
"hmmm color me impressed" the nighlocks hums and Ember nods her head in acknowledgement. A pause follows after.
"you have yourself a deal!" the nighlock exclaims loudly.
In a cloud of blue mist, Kevin appears and is still wearing his ranger suit. A mass of dark blue and black colored substance rises out of him before exploding in the air, cleansing Kevin of the monsters possession. He falls to the ground and catches his breath and his suit disappears from his body. He stands up and he is taken by surprise when he lays eyes on Ember.
"Ember, what are you doing?" he asks alarmed when he spots the nighlock not too far away from him.
"Kevin, before you do something stupid please listen to me. You are free to return to the rangers. They need you okay? more than they need me, especially Jayden" she says, her voice taking a sorrow tone.
"Ember, what did you do??"
"She traded places with you, claimed that she is more useful" the nighlock laughed and Kevin is shocked and can't figure out what to say. This was quite a heavy sacrifice she was making.
" Please tell them I'm sorry for leaving without telling them" she whispers.
"Run!!" she yells one last time.
Kevin takes off to the Dojo, running as fast as he can to warn his fellow rangers
The nighlock unleashes a blast, directly targeting her. The impact of the blast sent her to the ground, where the spell works its way into her body and into her brain. She groans in as the spell takes ahold of her. After a few seconds, she stands up and her eyes are bright purple. The nighlock has control of her now.
"The rangers don't know what's coming for them"
______________________________________________________________
After running for what seemed like eternity, Kevin finally made it to the Dojo. He frantically rips open the doors and runs inside to find the rangers sitting in a circle on the chairs surrounding the map table.
The heads Jayden and Mentor shoot up and quickly stand up once they see Kevin standing there, completely frantic and breathing heavily. The rest of the rangers had retired to their rooms to get some rest and recuperate.
Jayden walks up to Kevin carefully, not sure if they are being tricked or not. He places a hand on Kevins shoulder and finds out that it really is Kevin. He smiles and squeezes his shoulder.
"Welcome back Kevin" Jayden says, relief filling him. Then he asked "how did you get here?"
"Ember, she... she... she took my place, she traded places with me so that the Nighlock has control of her instead of me" he says quickly.
"She did what?!" Mentor exclaims
Jayden could not comprehend the words Kevin has just said. Immediate concern and sorrow fills him as he thinks of the girl whom he's begun to feel things for. Sure, he didn't think anything of it to start with, but as she remained with the rangers and spent more time with them, Jayden grew to care for her. Yes, he cares for all of the rangers but it's different with Ember. He gets nervous when their eyes meet across the room, he gets scared whenever she is injured in battle, he admires how close she's grown with Mia and Emily, he loves how she checks up on him every now and then. And most importantly, she makes him feel good and at ease, like the rest of world and it's problems just faded away. One might say, he developed feelings for her.
"She said that you guys needed me more than we needed her, especially you, Jayden" Kevin mutters quitely.
"She thinks we don't need her?" Jayden asked sorrowfully, feeling great sadness that she came to feel this way.
Kevin nodded sadly.
" Okay new plan. We need to get Ember back, she is now our first priority" Jayden says fiercely, determination crossing his features.
"We need to destroy that nighlock before he hurts her or makes her hurt innocent people" Kevin says and the rest agreed with her. Suddenly, everyone knew what to do and they would do everything in her power to do accomplish the task. Get Ember back at all cost.
"No, I'll go alone, you need to rest just like the others, you need to make sure you okay before you can fight" Jayden tells him. Kevin knew he was right and nodded his head before going to his room.
Jayden runs to doors, pulls out his sammurizer and morphs into his ranger suit. He goes to find the Nighlock that has taken Ember from him.
____________________________________________________________
The Shib alarm starts sounding out in the entire house and the rangers run to Mentor who has already opened the water map.
"Mentor, where's Jayden? Mike asked.
"He's already gone to battle the Nighlock" he informs the rangers.
"Are you kidding me? what about Ember? the Nighlock will make her fight Jayden" Mike states irritated.
"Hopefully that won't happen but it our duty to protect the people. He may have no choice." Mentor sighs.
"There's always a choice!" Mike exclaims
"This is bogus"
Mentor turns and walks around him "Have faith in your leader, Mike"
"Mike, we have to help Jayden" Mia says.
" And hope Ember comes to her senses" Emily adds on.
The rangers run to the join Jayden at the battlefield.
______________________________________________________________
Jayden stands in front of the Nighlock, Ember standing right behind him with a cold expression on her face as she observes Jayden.
"It's about time red ranger" the nighlock bellows out but Jayden's focus is solely on Ember.
"Ember please wake up" he says to her. She smirks and only shrugs her shoulders in response, the spell forcing her.
"Not going to happen, red" The nighlock says before turning to Ember.
"Make this fight count" he says and she nods her head and moves closer to Jayden.
"Or I'll make her use her powers on herself"
The rest of rangers arrive just on time, holding up their morphers.
"Jayden, we're here to help" Mike states.
"No, I can't put anyone else at risk" Jayden rejects Mike's and the others aid.
"You want a show? I'll give you the show of your life, Nighlock" Jayden says beforing morphing into his suit.
"I wish I had some popcorn. Fire girl, attack!" The Nighlock yells before jumping on top of some containers to watch the battle.
She moves her hands to her side, fire sprouting out of them immediately and she advances towards Jayden and the two slowly start to circle each other. Jayden goes into a stance and Ember sees that as her sign to attack. With a flick of her wrist, she throws the fire fire ball towards Jayden
Jayden deflects her attack by using his sword as a barrier, immediately after, he lunges for her. He swipes his sword, Ember holds up her arms, a magical armor protecting her from getting cut and she blocks his attack. This left her flank open and Jayden used that to his advantage.
Before she could see it, Jayden kicks her to the ground. She wheezes as air is knocked out of her and she holds her sides.
"What are you thinking thats Ember!" Mike yells out but his statement goes unheard.
Ember quickly stands up again and moves to launch another attack but.. she stops and lets out a a gasp as she falls to the ground again. Ember is trying to take back control and the rid the control the nighlock has over her.
Groaning, she clutches her head as a headache begins to form but she has to push through the pain, she just has to. She starts thrashing and shaking on the ground, fighting the monsters control over her. The pain is building but she can't give up, she's so close.
"Ember?" Jayden asked concerned and confused.
"Jayden" Ember whimpered.
"Jayden please" she doesn't know why she's saying please, she just wants him to know that she's trying.
"Ember, you can fight this, I know you can. I know you think we don't need you but we do, we all do.. especially me. So please, come back to us... come back to me" He says softly.
That was all she needed to hear. Her screams and cries grow louder and her thrashing becomes more violent and just when she thought it was never going to end, she lets out a final scream and the same black and dark blue substance was pulled from her eyes and mouth, completely expelling the dark magic from her body.
She relaxes and lays flat on the ground, trying desperately to catch her breath and let her senses return to her.
"No!! what on earth did you do !!!"The nighlock screams, angry that his plan did not go accordingly.
Ember sits up carefully and looks the monster dead in the eye.
" I broke your spell. Did you really think I was just going to let you control me that easily?" she laughed dryly.
"But how?? only I can reverse that spell!!" He yelled.
"Guess I'm just stronger than you think" she smirked, happy that she foiled the nighlock's plans.
Her eyes move over to Jayden, only to find him already looking at her with pride and admiration, a small smile present on his face. He nodded and she understood.
They were going to talk later.
(Authors note: my patience was wearing thin so I decided to go ahead and skip it)
______________________________________________________________
The rangers were enjoying a board game where their zords where the game pieces. Suffice it to say, it was not going well for Mike...
Ember was sat next to Emily, she didn't have enough energy to play but she was happy to observe them and watch the smiles on their faces. She leaned her head on Emily's shoulder as her eyes flicker over to Kevin and Jayden who were having a quite discussion.
Anticipation and nervousness came over her, she and Jayden hadn't talked yet and she was only growing more anxious.
Was he mad at her? was he sad? disappointed?
her thoughts were going haywire.
Suddenly, she needed fresh air and walked out the open door to sit on one of the stone benches. She moved to the furthest one away from the laughter and chatter from her friends, wanting to enjoy the open night sky.
But she had a feeling she was not alone and she knew who it was.
"You scared me today"
She turned around and she was right. Jayden followed her outside.
He sat down beside her and examined her face more closely. It was still a little bit banged up but the cuts and bruises were healing fast, thanks to her exacerbated blood. He was relieved and Ember smiled at him.
"I'm sorry" she whispered out before moving her eyes back down to her lap
"Why did you do it? Why did you let that Nighlock do that to you? Jayden asked her quietly and she let out a sad sigh.
"I just thought that you guys needed Kevin more than you needed me. I wanted to help the team, even if it meant sacrificing myself. I don't know, I just feel like I'm a burden to you guys and I'm not even part of the group and I thought I was finally doing something to help you" she opens up to him.
Jayden grabs her chin with two fingers and moves her face so she was looking at him.
"Ember, you are not a burden and you are needed. Mia and Emily need you, Mike needs you because who else keeps him from wrecking the house and Kevin doesn't show it but he needs you to, he believes you provide a great advantage in battle. And I need you too" she blushes at his heartfelt words and moves to pull her face away but is met with resistance.
"There is something else. Ever since I met you, I've come to care for you and you make me feel things I have never felt before. Your smile makes me feel at ease, the way you laugh seems to make my heart race. Every time a monster hurts you, I feel this urge to protect you, Everytime I can see you are scared, I want to comfort you and the way you just are, it amazes me so much. I have feelings for you, Ember and I've tried to fight it but it's pretty difficult when a person like you is so beautiful and caring"
Ember could not believe it, all this time he felt the same as her?? She thought she was insane for developing feelings for the red danger, believing full well that he was never going to see her more than a team mate or friend. But here he was, proving her wrong.
Surprise and shock flitters across her face and she processes his confession before joy and elation start to fill her until the smile that is spreading on her face begins to hurt.
"Jayden, I feel the same way" she finally gathered the courage to speak and her face moved closer to his. Slowly but surely, they lean in closer and closer until their noses touch. Ember closes her eyes and pray he won't reject her. Slowly, she feels his lips against hers and he breathing picks up along with her heart.
Before she chickens out, she closes the gap and seals their lips together in a kiss. Their lips moved slowly against each other, Jayden brings his hand up to caress her face and pull her a little closer with his other hand. Ember moves her hands and interlocks them behind his neck and craning her head.
Their kiss becomes more passionate and deeper as they continue exploring each others mouths. The butterflies in her stomach are going awol, she never thought she was going to be so lucky.
After 5 minutes of passionate kissing, the pair had to pull away from each other to catch some much needed air and lean their foreheads against each other.
"Finally!"

okay my head is killing me now, that took way too long to write. But I actually liked it, finally being able to write down one of thought imaginations.
I just felt the urge to suddenly just write and so I just pulled a random imagine from my head and it was the one with Jayden Shiba.
I might come back and do another, if the mood strikes you know :)

Jaytonio playlist!
Now, this pairing has a special place in my heart. Samurai was the first series I watched, all the way back when I was eleven, and Jayden and Antonio's dynamic is what first hooked me on Power Rangers. It was the first thing I really ever shipped before I even knew what shipping was. (Antonio, is that you? Believe it baby, I'm back! Still think you can take me?) It, more than any other ship in Power Rangers, feels the most canon (even more than actual canon ones). It DEFINES Samurai. It is possibly the one thing that canon Samurai does right.
And thus, here is the playlist for it. Shout out to @khruschevshoe for the "Waterloo" addition- it wasn't on my initial playlist when writing but it is the absolute perfect song to embody these idiots as they get their shit together.

Today I’ve realized just how much I enjoyed Power Rangers Samurai cause it was literally the season that pulled me back into the fandom.
Tumblr media
These suits were honestly a serve and I always love a good gold ranger
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This ship? Fucking iconic. I still ship these angsty bitches and Jayden’s one of my favorite reds (even if they gave him a ROUGH bowl cut in later episodes)
Tumblr media
Emily deserved better cause she was a bad bitch, she was the emotional glue of the team, she always tried to improve, and was a tough fighter and they all thought she wasn’t for too long.
Tumblr media
Also these zords slapped, the clawzord is so dope, the oragami zords were adorable, and the lightzord was a very fun little guy

The samurai rangers meeting Mentor Ji adopted son for the first time who's he around their age. Who the male rangers fall hard for him
When Mentor Ji mentioned that his adoptive son was coming to the Shiba House for three weeks, the samurai rangers were excited to meet someone from their Mentor's family. He never talked about his family that much, so not even Jayden, or Lauren could provide any information about his son. Mike made the comment on how he hoped there wouldn't be two Mentor Ji's after them.
Though, the guy who showed up on a motorcycle and leather jacket was something the samurai rangers never expected to see. Y/N was gorgeous and Emily, Mia, and Lauren giggled as they watched him pull his motorcycle helmet off as he smiled.
"Y/N, my son," Mentor Ji said as he went to hug him and the young man hugged him back.
"Good to see you, father." Y/N smiled as he looked at all the samurai rangers, one by one. "Oh, and who are all these beautiful people?"
"Y/N. These are the samurai rangers. Rangers this is my son, Y/N L/N."
"Nice to meet you all. Especially you lovely ladies." Y/N went up to Emily and kissed her hand like a gentleman as Emily blushed and giggled. Mike was jealous. And it wasn't of Y/N flirting with Emily. It was Emily getting Y/N's attention. His fellow male rangers felt the same way as they watched Y/N flirt with Lauren and Mia. The girls were obviously enjoying Y/N's attention as the boys followed them.
Over the next few days, the rangers got to know Y/N. He was kind, smart, funny, and could rival them in training. He would spend some days training with Jayden and Kevin, showing them and the others techniques he's been practicing since he was little. He would go fishing with Antonio and pull pranks with Mike and in the evenings help Mia with her cooking. That's when Jayden, Kevin, Mike, and Antonio realized that they were falling for Mentor Ji's son.

Jayden: This is crazy, but I'm having feelings again. Like some kind of fourteen-year-old kid or something. You remember feelings, right? Antonio: Yeah. I have feelings every single day of my life. Jayden: Do you? Antonio: Are you saying you don't have feelings?

Headcanon that Jayden and Antonio have a dog named Genta(after Shinken Gold), maybe a Tibetan mix to give off lion vibes👀

Plus I feel like Jayden has too much pressure locked up and needs to air it out by cuddling with one of these

do you have any power rangers samurai headcannons
I do, I just gotta dig them out, give me a sec! Ah, here we go!
~
- Mia learns how to be a fantastic cook as she continues going (and with Antonio's help)
- Antonio was trained by Cam Watanabe (and the other Ninja Rangers)
- Emily's sister was not the path of Earth, but the path of healing
- In a world of Soulmates: Jayden/Antonio, Mia/Emily, Mike/Kevin
- Last names! Jayden Shiba, Antonia Garcia, Mia Watanabe, Emily Tanaka, Mike Sato, Kevin Yamamoto
- There are more Samurai discs and more paths one can take, they where just lost to time and in battle. The Life disc (white, coyote), for example
- Ji was and is a horrible mentor and none of the Rangers looked at him the same after he took Antonio's morpher
- Ji is Mia's uncle, Cam Watanabe is Mia's cousin
- The Samurai Rangers gets drunk together during their fight with Master Xandred and his brood exactly once and never again
- If someone so much as LOOKS at Antonio the wrong way, the other Rangers are ready to throw hands
- Lauren Shiba had to find her place in a team that already had a Red. She chose pastels are her color after the fight was over
- On the subject of Lauren, she's aroace
- She also has a daughter, named Kirsten
- Antonio and Jayden are in love and have a beautiful relationship, once Antonio gets Jayden to actually open up about his feelings
- The Rangers model their relationships after other Ranger relationships not their parents' relationships (except Emily's, her parents are amazing, even after Serena's illness)
~
Thank you!
