Lupat gang here!

[@skyrogue1977]

Before the show aired, I had thought these were the current users as opposed to originals. Since the Lupin and Pat suits are so similar, I believed that they were originally one team but had split due to disagreements. So the teams would be the current iterations just taking over.

[@BadriKid]

I REALLY LOVE the way lupat showcase their choreography with a 360 camera. I was really hoping it was a new way to shoot the new sentai series, but I am happy to know that whenever lupat comes back for a anniversary sentai movie their choreo will most likely be used like that.

[@1ace1000]

Despite everything right _and wrong_ about the season, I think one of the few of the most understated things about it in terms of it's motifs and aesthetics is also... The finishers. While every sentai has their coolest moments where the finishing moves just wow the viewer in some way, I have not been as wowed by any of them in the same way as LuPat has wowed me. Like they literally made some of the coolest looking visuals I've ever seen for their finishing attacks that do not executed in the same way later that just draws you in, especially the team attacks where projectiles combine into one insane huge one. Maybe the closest to this would be in DonBrothers, but that's only talking Don Momotaro and Don Dracozolt/Torabolt with their primary slashing finishers, particularly with Unrivaled Peach: True Avatar Combat Art where they attack the target together. It's just _one thing_ I can say I like THE MOST out of that season thus far, amidst everything else being just kinda par (yes, I do agree with you on a lot of it being kinda boring and even one-sided).

[@TeamTowers1]

As someone who hasn't seen the show, I have a question. I've often heard a certain critic say that part of why the Patranger are unsympathetic is that the Lipnranger despite their motif aren't actual thieves and are actually legally contracted to retrieve the stolen collection. Thus the Patrangers have no actual legal basis to go after them and are just persecuting them for their motif. So my question of this is, is this acurate?

[@Marcosatsu]

Not accurate. The Lupinrangers aren’t legally contracted to take the collection, they were asked to. As far as the Patrangers are concerned at first, the Lupins are in their way and can be seen as vigilantes working outside the law. Plus, being labeled as the thieves everybody is talking about, is probably not helping the Lupins case.

[@TeamTowers1]

@@Marcosatsu Thanks.

[@jamesbond3w]

​@@TeamTowers1going into spoilers (dont read my comment further if you havent watched the video) . . . .. . . . . . The Lupin rangers all lost a close companion, Yellow lost her close friend, Red lost his brother and Blue lost his fiance. (And later we find out Gold/Silver Ranger X also lost his father figure who is literally the Great Lupin himself) So the reason why everone collects every Lupin Item is because it has a legend where if you complete the collecton it will grant you a wish. So by law they are still stealing something and doing minor vigilante stuff which most police would be against so Patarangers are just outright targeting them lol. Its kinda the Lupin the Third versus International Investigatior Zenigata style.

[@theblacksamruott]

also they couldn't believe a monster could turn invisible would they believe the descendants of Arsen Lupin hired 3 randos to steal a stolen collection

[@ObadiahQRex]

​@@MarcosatsuI don't understand why the two teams did not just team up asap. It would have made the conflict easier.

[@ssj4jason737]

One cool thing about the collection pieces that I like is that the names of each piece are song names translated into French and are references to various crimes

[@MegaSceptile99]

I really enjoyed LuPat. Why, yes, i do agree that the Lupinrangers essentially took over, especially after Noel's introduction, all the main characters were enjoyable in their own right. The character interactions, even the ones that were more minor and didn't affect the overall plot, were pretty fun. (Although i do admit that i was weirded out by the gender swap stuff of episode 11) The action was great throughout, and i was looking forward to what happens next. I also want to mention the designs that are spectacular. How the Lupinrangers and Patrangers contrast each other with their similar but distinct design language. Also, the VS changer and VS vehicles are great.

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

Pipe dream, but I would like to see another VS series after Boonboomger. Specifically, 3 monsters vs 2 hunters. I can see the monster squad consisting of a werewolf, a vampire and a djinn with darker colour tones while the hunters are gold/silver twin siblings that wield crossbows. Give me time to include more details tomorrow.

[@switchnslider1636]

I have a theory.not based on rumors just a thought I think the sentai was gonna just be about the lupinrangers...BUT toei in fear parents wouldnt like a show glorifying thieves as heroes even if they have some good moral of the day moments,balanced it out by having a sentai cop team to balance it out...unfortunately the writers who already had the lupin thought out more kinda neglected the patrangers Again,just a personal theory

[@jamesbond3w]

[@freddi00]

LuPat is honestly my second favorite Sentai and one of my all-time favorite toku shows. I immidiatly understood this was a Lupinranger show and didnt go much beyond that so i just vibed with what it was going for right off the bat. I didnt have any failed expectations going in like i see everyone who dislikes LuPat say they had, and im starting to think thats the main reason people dislike it - it wasnt what they wanted. I completely agree that the GSPO crew needed much more focus and at least be equally relevant to the Lupins, but i really enjoyed both teams anyway. I really liked Kairi and Keiichiro, but weirdly enough Touma is my favorite by a mile.Despite not getting a backstory episode i found him to be great enough without it. His trying to rescue his fiancee worked fine by me, and i loved his role in the group as the only real adult that always had helpful wisdom, intuition, and sometimes he half-jokingly felt like the adoptive dad of Kairi and Umika with how he acted (they even joke about that once). I get why people think Zamigo is a wasted villain, but, like with Touma, he is weirdly my favorite. The Lupins never being able to catch him untill the finale and rarely even seeing him added so much to his mysterious personality, and i love how in the end isnt some mastermind, just a sadist who picked up on what was going on and decided to have a blast with it. You say for all we know he was just a monster of the week, and honestly i LOVE that angle. He really is just some Gangler who didnt care for Dogranio's spot and had fun his own way. This was really interesting to listen to, as when watching the show i really didnt get why LuPat was so hated, and even though i still heavily disagree with most points the haters bring up, i get why people think that way. Thanks for the inciteful video!

[@Joeylikesgames-ku9mx]

This has been my favorite season from the moment I watched episode 1, if it doesn't get 10 years after I'm gonna be so sad

[@Baby_Vegeta_GT]

Destra was a goated villain and the episode where Keiichiro gets poisoned yet he fights, that's a real piece of dedication there.

[@AbareKillerFan-yo7pe]

I really HATED the ninteenth episode, not because of the Patrangers being incompetent but because of Shinta Yanagami, the senior official of the Global Special Police Organization, I know he was just a one-off character but he was just very annoying (the same level of annoying as Goroge from King-Ohger)

[@AnsonLam-up3jm]

Yeah episode 19 was pretty bad, but it is no where near as bad as episode 27, that episode is so freaking cringe and I almost had a heart attack from how cringe it was

LuPat brought me into Super Sentai, just from the suits alone. Then I was introduced to their SuperHero Time counterpart. Kamen Rider Build. So thank you LuPat for helping me throughout the pandemic and making me a Toei fan

[@rayhayes7701]

I did rewatch this show fairly recently (around March and April). What I think of this show is still the same mostly. Something I still question why Dongrieo wasn’t destroyed but instead is locked up and he’s still in lock up. I understand why the Patorangers didn’t get rid of him but whatever. I think the biggest positive about the Gangler is that they didn’t want world domination. Even Dongrieo admits he took the Lupin collection and killed Arséne in cold blood because he just wanted it to look at. Mafia am I right.

[@Baby_Vegeta_GT]

Because, The Lupinrangers were inside the chained golden safe of Dogranio, since while in civilian forms, they are the bestfriends of the Patrangers, if they killed Dogranio, the Lupinrangers would've died along with Dogranio, so they locked Dogranio up

Keiichiro Asaka is honestly a severely underrated Red Ranger. Arguably one of the most well developed characters this season.

[@Krizzald100]

LuPat is among the top of my favorite Toku series, the story, while messy at plenty of points, gave us enjoyable characters and a great finale. I like the ambiguity of siding with "thieves" and policemen siding with each other for the good of the common people, to actually save civilians while getting rid of one true enemy. A series that I revisit from time to time. Might not be the cup of tea of everyone, but it's mine and I guess that's all it matters. I will still encourage people to watch LuPat all the time.

[@1235Gdog]

this is my favorite series of power rangers and super sentai all together. having a conflict of two different types of sentai teams, having their own goals at the same time is awesome. it's literally if like bokenger or like even magi ranger was next too SPD or even go buster. two motives that are both common in this genre " we do this because it is morally right and just" vrs "this is the only way WE can get OUR justice" and to see both happening at the same time and conflicting with each other is just magical. ESPECIALLY with how pata red isn't a carboard foil. he isn't this angry dimensionless cop. he has his own character he has is own struggles in balancing his own beliefs, as our other protag does as well. that and all the little references in the lupin collection. and THE LUPIN SUITS GO WAY TOO HARD LISTEN

[@TheFuzzyOcelot]

i watched it, saw the difference in focus that the lupinrangers have when compared to the patorangers, and proceeded to not care because acab Jokes aside (well, believing in acab isn't a joke but you get what I mean), I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable. Could there have been better writing decisions to actually make the two teams more evenly stacked? Of course. But I feel like *most of* (in bold because no Sentai is safe from a stinker or two) the writing that we did get is still by no means bad, and I found it to be a fun and engaging series nonetheless. The suits are rad, the mecha designs are rad, the aesthetics are on point, and the opening and all the BGM songs are perfection. I do wish they leaned more into the two teams VS concept more (and love how when it comes to anniversary stuff like sentai gears both teams get one instead of both of them being lumped together), but just because they did it once doesn't mean they can't do it again, though since the sales seem to have bombed for the toyline it might be a while before we do...

[@gregxianda]

If (and only if) this was adapted to power rangers this woulda been great to bring back the phantom ranger for the lupinrangers and the blue senturion for the patorangers

[@DragonxFlutter]

When it comes to _style,_ I absolutely love LuPat. Gotta be one of my favorite themes. In terms of story, I hate it. It’s such wasted potential. It’s billed as a show about two teams. But it’s mostly a Lupinranger show, and even then it’s more of a LupinRed show, following a post-Gokaiger trend of “If you can’t/won’t figure out how to make the entire team relevant, then just make it a Kamen Rider show or a show in a completely different franchise.” The Lupins are given almost every Trigger Machine, LuPatX is a LupinRanger double agent, and barely anyone except LupinRed gets any significant part in the story. During the earliest episodes, I was hoping that the two teams were intended to work together, given that they both use the VS Changer and can utilize each other’s machines. When LuPatX debuted, I was hyped thinking that the teams would now have a common bridge and be unified. Then it became clear that this was wasn’t LupinRanger VS PatRanger or LupinRanger & PatRanger, it was “The LupinRed Show featuring these unimportant sidekick shmucks.”

[@jamesaditya5254]

I was fully immersed as I was watching the series but in retrospect I could see the glaring issues. The Lupinrangers kinda had to get the upper hand to protect their identity and consistently it comes at the cost of the Patrangers looking like fools. This is Tom and Jerry slapped on top of a monster of the week format. I remember Noel being a prick that seemed like he's too cool to hang out with everyone else and just doing it for contractual obligations, including his efforts of befriending them. I totally get where Marcos is coming from with enjoying the episode more when the Patrangers get some highlight because sadly they are treated as a secondary squad, because if they managed to get one up on the thieves, the jig is up. Although, I do think it's not impossible to craft an intriguing story where the identities of the thieves being revealed to the police maybe a third way into the series. Noel can definitely be utilized better to glue the dynamics between the opposing teams by keeping his status as a double (double) agent a secret, or at least play it as if he's keeping it a secret from the opposition, instead of announcing out loud that he's playing both sides and just trying to be happy-go-lucky. Sure hope they will try this 2-team format again in the future with a better suited dynamic, where the stakes aren't that series and either team can take L's without disturbing the status quo too much

55:25 Actually, I found that part strange myself. It wasn't until I watched Zenkaiger VS Donbrothers that I learned that the VS can be read as versus usually... but in Sentai, it usually means Victory Super. So, you could view it as both meanings. They did fight, but they were always meant to work together. As any Sentai team would, one would say.

Like many others, I love LuPat. I love it with every fiber of my being. One of my favorites, flaws and all. The characters to me was what stole the show and I can't say that enough. I only wish that the writing could have been handled better. And yes, I ship Kairi & Keichiro. You can thank that final show where they actually did kiss. That made me giddy. Despite that, it was a shame it didn't do well sales wise. Ratings wise, it did good and was even nominated for a galaxy award. Plus, Keichiro's actor got big after the show. I'm happy for him, plus being police chief for a day is an absolute win. Also I don't care what Simon Bennett says. I still hope for an adaptation of this because there is potential. A lot of potential. A shame the guy is a dumbass. Opinions and all. Nice job Marcos. I look forward to whatever you have next. I hope one day you try your luck with a real classic: MIrai Sentai Timeranger.

I’m mostly conflicted on this season. While it has one of the best stories and characters, a lot of episodes are filler and add nothing to the plot. Lupin Blue and Patren 3 are largely forgotten about and Noelle really sucks. BUT when it hits the story hits hard. Also that ending sucks, no team up of the two teams and I’m pretty sure where’s no real final fight between the two. All in all 7/10 could easily be better but sadly it’s not

[@zexian9750]

Thank you for expressing your feelings, must have been like expired milk when watching this. In my experience in watching this series, I will say the Lupinranger are the only good thing this series has. Unfortunately when I think of the Patrangers, this truly loses reasoning to be a sentai. All the shows spotlight was continuously on Lupinrangers and in the later half only Lupin X. Patrangers don't get enough of a backstory individually to make me care for them, and get no power up until the last episode. I hate Lupin X because of how the plot was all around him when he arrived, he GETS BOTH teams power ups and uses them more frequently than the LuPat all together, so tell me without telling me, the writers forgot about the Patrangers. He arrives just to sh*t on the Patrangers and they get left behind all together. What truly made me hate this series was where Good Striker ran away from the Patrangers because they did not care for his feelings..........These are cops we're talking about, who are people everybody comes to for help and will listen to you. Patranger gets no light shone upon them at all. And when they do, It's just like Marco's said, is was too late for me to even care. I also truly hate this series and also believe they won't ever do a VS series again. There was way too much love for the Lupinrangers which destabilized the teams, and the Lupinrangers are all that I hear from from this series, the Patranger I look upon in disbelief and overall disgust at the writers and production at how poorly they treated this team. Lets not even talk about how the movie exclusive mech was EXCLUSIVE only towards the Lupinranger. I hear people say they want ANOTHER VS series. I'm looking around trying to figure out how are they gonna make it fair for both teams. *AHEM*, IT WONT. It truly is Lupinrangers feat. Lupin X and the cops.

[@theblacksamruott]

i am 3% sure lupat was the first sentai I watched at the start and finished and while I am clearly reaching I think Zamigo not doing much is awesome yet terrifying given how he is the one making the human designed for ganglers like we have no idea how many more people the dude grabbed between the lupin rangers loved ones and the end of the show he is the demon that anyone could come across at moment in their lives and while he takes away another friend brother or love the pat ranger prove that justice is blind (this is not meant to be a algory for cops=bad just me reading to much into a show with rubber monsters and clipshows )

kinda ironic that commander hilltop is a criminal irl

Huuuuuuuuuh...??? SHEESH, I heavy disagree with the overall take here on LuPat. Yes, I agree the show team focus was incredibly biased; yes, I agree Zamigo & the Ganglers were HEEEEEEAVILY underutilized. And yes, I agree Noel's reveal was just a big heap of nothing & was disappointing. HOWEVER, I CANNOT agree that the characters weren't that compelling. I thought at least that the Lupinrangers' characterizations & Keichiro were solid, and that the motivations for why each team is set on opposing each other made a lot of sense. Also, the sheer mechanics of the show with the MoTW & the way the Ganglers operate with the Lupin Treasures in their safes was REALLY COOL, and made for very interesting & entertaining fight sequences. (Some of the best fight choreography in Sentai; and with GUNS TOO!!!) I would say LuPat was easily the 2nd best Sentai post-Zenkaiger(To be fair I haven't seen Donbrothers yet), only 2nd to King-Ohger.

I get that they are two, very different things. But I don't get how this doesn't get a pass based on its style, and yet Kamen Rider Wizard does. It seems to me like this series was supposed to be a Lupinranger series, but then they remembered stealing stuff is bad, and shouldn't be glorified to children, so they added the Patrangers in hastily to balance it out.

[@Marcosatsu]

Wizard didn’t get a pass either.

[@HiroZeroVirus]

ok, I probably misread the subtext a twinge. Also I have seen Wizard, but haven't watched LvP yet, so personal experience bias might exist.

[@Blaze-hopper]

With that being said join marcos for next time where we have an evolution and a revolution with power ranger dino fury fricking hate ryusoulger so much

[@OkMakuTree]

That’s a nice versus series you got there! Sure would be a shame if you stuffed it full of blatant favoritism, huh? 😅

[@Riptide51]

Valid criticism Marcos both teams look cool to me and I wish the story had more patoranger but I’m guessing writing for two teams is tufff but I still like lupat it’s pretty good imo I love the suits the fights and zamigo is my favorite I just wish he did a little more

[@isleep7262]

At least their toys is one of my all time favorite. The VS changer and the VS vehicles are imo one of the best design toy Sentai has to offer ever. I have always hate how the mecha and the transformation device was so stand alone and unconnected to each other so havin them be able to read each other is a great treat, it's a whole package deal, you get more sound as you get more arms. The mecha gimmick is severely under-utilize, which i wont get too much into, just know i think they have much better unexplored combination potential. But the Changer? Hell yeah, not only it can read the vehicles, rotates up and down, was designed to be a highway, the cars has trigger holes to connect with the gun while the planes has dial. The fidgeting toy potential is a work of Genius.

[@AZ-om6re]

watch the lupans using machine trigger but still rotate it up, and also the fact that they had 1 trigger machine (2 if we count Noel Siren Striker) and 2 robot formation using machine trigger with Patkiser-ish face but still using Lupankaiser as a name is just frustrating.

Didn’t this come out after Persona 5? Maybe that’s why the show focuses more on the theives

[@Marcosatsu]

Not at all.

[@VicStrange9]

@@Marcosatsu Persona 5 was a great hit, though. I wouldnt be surprised if it was an influence. After all, Lupinrangers started in 2018 while Persona 5 released in 2016.
