News has spread over Facebook and Twitter that the final episodes of Super Samurai are already airing in France and Latin America.
In France, the first returning episode “A Crack in the World” aired and later more episodes are airing in Latin America and are still airing!
“A Crack in the World,” “A Stroke of Fate” and “Fight Fire with Fire”  have already aired.
Thanks to follower @AngelEduJr who reports that the Final Episodes of Power Rangers Super Samurai, Episode 20 “Samurai Forever” will air in Latin America on Friday before Episode 14 “A Crack in the World” will even air in the US!

I’ve already ranted a bit on Twitter, but for god sakes! WTF Nickelodeon! Why in the world would they air the final episodes in other countries when, from my understanding of some fans, WE ARE WAITING TO SEE THE END!
What annoys me the most is that we are getting images and scenes in other languages of Lauren, the Female Red Samurai Ranger. We are only seeing her scenes in Spanish and not in English.
I don’t know about you, but I feel ROBBED!
As someone who has not only been waiting to see the end of Samurai, but have been waiting since Shinkenger to see the Female Red Ranger.
Now we only see it dubbed over in another language before we get to see it for ourselves!
Then to top it all off, the Finale will air somewhere else as well.  On Friday as a matter of fact! So most of us will know how Samurai/Super Samurai ends before we even get to see the episode.

While I understand that other countries normally have to wait months and months for the episodes to air in their respective countries, I still believe the mother country of the program should get the release first. Think of it as a Nintendo Game, Japan gets it first then months later other countries, including the US get it much later.; because the game/property originated in that country.

This is obviously not a Saban issue, or a Saban decision. It’s obviously Nick again screwing something else up because they’re too busy with Spongebob and Big Time Rush.
Well, that’s my rant and I hope that at least some of you are also angry and annoyed at this turn of events.

BOO ON YOU NICKELODEON, SCREWING THE FANDOM ONCE MORE!
WTF!
