Is it just me, or did the initial "MotW insults people" scene go on a lot longer in Samurai? I approve. Also, "you're BORING" is so a better insulf that "you have a mother complex," especially since it led to Jayden's total not-actually-a-denial denial of that.
"Ready Jayden?" "He was born ready." Oh, OUCH.
I was worried for a while that they were going to abandon the "Kotoha was just delaying the hurt" plot for "Ignore the bullies; it totally works!" but then they didn't.
Still, despite being scripted as AmeriKotoha, Britanny Pirtle has definitely made Emily a distinct character. Possibly more than any of the other rangers.
