Origins is the two-part pilot of Power Rangers: Samurai but the series started off in a different series order. Though, its chronological order within the work itself (this information is not currently known, as Nickelodeon has aired some of the episodes out of sequence; most notably "Origins", which is clearly the first chronologically and "Clash of the Red Rangers the Movie", which featured the Samurai Rangers using weapons and powers that had not yet been introduced).
