The Foreign Samurai

Ryunosuke is having a good day when he meets a man named Richard Brown. Richard was one of the innocent bystanders poisoned by Yamiororo during his battle with the Shinkengers. After seeing the Shinkengers transform and rescue the city, Richard dubs himself their number one fan and begs to be taught the ways of Bushidō. The group decides to have Ryunosuke run Richard through a grueling training regimen, hoping that Richard will quit out of frustration. Ryunosuke feels guilty about the deliberate intent, deciding to encourage him not to give up. Richard, feeling that he is learning well, is so encouraged by his supposed progress that he places himself in harm's way when the other Shinkengers take on the Ayakashi Hachouchin. Hachouchin is on the brink of defeating the Shinkengers when he retreats, needing to rehydrate. Later, when Richard meets up with Ryunosuke for his next training session, Ryunosuke tells him that he cannot train Richard anymore and leaves. Richard misinterprets Ryunosuke's words, thinking that he has mastered his training, and joins the Shinkengers as they prepare to confront Hachouchin the next day. After Hachounin's sucker punch nearly killed Richard, Shinken Blue launches the first assault against Hachouchin, and the other Shinkengers follow suit before Hachouchin takes all five down easily. Richard implores the Shinkengers to keep fighting, which revitalizes their fighting spirit. Shinken Red hands off the Rekka Daizanto Oozutsu Mode to Shinken Blue, who, alongside Richard, uses the Kajiki Five Rings Bullet to destroy Hachouchin's first life with Tenku Shinken-Oh destroying the Ayakashi for good. Afterwards, Richard announces that he is returning to his home country to teach Bushidō to his fellow citizens, and Ryunosuke and the other Shinkengers wish him good luck.
