SYNOPSIS

For centuries, there has been a war between humanity and the Gedoshu, creatures who emerge from the depths of the underworld and cause fear and terror to those around them. To fight against these creatures, the Emperor of Japan ordained five clans of samurai to fight against the Gedoshu threat three-hundred years in the past, forming the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. These samurai possess the abilities of "Mojikara", which allow for them to manipulate the kanji of the Japanese language to draw upon abilities and ordain themselves with the elements to fight the threats. They likewise utilise "origami" (folding gods) to fight against these creatures "second life", which turns them into giants which rampage through the nation.
