Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger (快盗戦隊ルパンレンジャーVS警察戦隊パトレンジャー, Kaitō Sentai Rupanrenjā Bui Esu Keisatsu Sentai Patorenjā, Phantom Thief Squadron Lupinranger VS Police Squadron Patranger) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama and the 42nd entry of the Toei Company's long-running Super Sentai metaseries. This series is the first to feature two different teams of heroes-the gentleman thief-themed Lupinrangers and the police-themed Patrangers-who engage in a three-way battle against an alien criminal organization targeting Earth called the Ganglars. It is also the first Super Sentai TV series to not have an ending theme like many of TV Asahi's other shows. Lupinranger VS Patranger, which was the last Super Sentai series to air entirely in the Heisei era, it aired from February 11, 2018 to February 10, 2019, replacing Uchu Sentai Kyuranger and it was temporarily replaced by Super Sentai Strongest Battle and after 4 weeks it was completely replaced by Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger on March 17th. The program joining Kamen Rider Build and later, Kamen Rider Zi-O, in the Super Hero Time line-up on TV Asahi affiliate stations.[1][2]
Additionally, Lupinranger VS Patranger began airing in South Korea in June 2020 as Power Rangers Lupin Force VS Patrol Force.
Two of the series' villain costumes and a prop were used for the 30th season of the American Power Rangers series (Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, which was adapting the 2017 Sentai installment, Uchu Sentai Kyuranger).
Story
[edit]The Lupin Collection, a vast ensemble of dangerous items acquired by the legendary gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, is stolen by an interdimensional crime syndicate known as the Ganglars. However, they receive opposition from two Super Sentai teams: the Lupinrangers: Kairi Yano, Tooma Yoimachi and Umika Hayami, who aim to steal back the collection to live up their namesake's reputation and save those they have lost, and the Patrangers: Keiichiro Asaka, Sakuya Hikawa and Tsukasa Myoujin, who are tasked with upholding justice by retrieving the collection and taking down the Gangler. A human drama unfolds that pits the opposing teams against each other as their tale is woven, which is made more intricate by the Lupin Collection's mysterious origins and its contributor Noël Takao, who aids the two teams as their fourth member in the hopes of uniting them against the Gangler for his own agenda. After the Gangler are eventually defeated, the Patrangers learn the Lupinrangers' civilian identities and motives while Noël still works to unite the two Super Sentai teams into one.[2]
Characters
[edit]Lupinrangers
[edit]The eponymous Lupinrangers are a trio of phantom thieves who are recruited by Arsène Lupin's retainer Kogure (コグレ) to save their loved ones, who were taken by the Ganglar member, Zamigo Delma, a year prior. The group is based at the Bistrot Jurer (ビストロ・ジュレ, Bisutoro Jure) cafe as part-time workers, where they learn the Patrangers' identities while concealing their own until the events of the final battle.
To transform, the Lupinrangers utilize a series of aircraft-themed VS Vehicle (VSビークル, Bui Esu Bīkuru) items called Dial Fighters (ダイヤルファイター, Daiyaru Faitā), which enable them to decode and unlock a Ganglar member's safe(s), in conjunction with the VS Changer (VSチェンジャー, Bui Esu Chenjā) firearm. While transformed, they each carry a Lupin Sword (ルパンソード, Rupan Sōdo) sidearm, which can switch between Sword Mode (ソードモード, Sōdo Mōdo) and Magic Hand Mode (マジックハンドモード, Majikku Hando Mōdo). By setting Good Striker in Dial Fighter mode into the VS Changer, a Lupinranger can split into three in order to perform the Itadaki Strike (イタダキストライク, Itadaki Sutoraiku, Seizing Strike) finisher along with their teammates. By setting Jackpot Striker into the VS Changer, the Lupinrangers can merge into Lupin Tricolor (ルパントリコロール, Rupan Torikorōru) in order to perform the Ippatsu Strike (一発ストライク, Ippatsu Sutoraiku, One-Shot Strike) finisher. By setting the jumbo jet-themed Victory Striker (ビクトリーストライカー, Bikutorī Sutoraikā) into the VS Changer, a Lupinranger can become an armored Super Lupinranger (スーパールパンレンジャー, Sūpā Rupanrenjā), which grants the ability to predict an enemy's maneuvers.
To fight enlarged Ganglar members, the Lupinrangers combine their personal Dial Fighters and Good Striker to form Lupin Kaiser (ルパンカイザー, Rupan Kaizā) via Phantom Thief Combination (快盗合体, Kaitō Gattai), whose finisher is the Good Striker: Rapid-Fire Defeating Shot (グッドストライカー・連射 倒れちまえショット, Guddo Sutoraikā Rensha Taorechimae Shotto). Lupin Kaiser can also assume alternate formations by substituting their regular Dial Fighters with auxiliaries.
- Kairi Yano (夜野 魁利, Yano Kairi)
- A 19-year-old impulsive youth who uses the fighter jet-themed Red Dial Fighter (レッドダイヤルファイター, Reddo Daiyaru Faitā) to become Lupin Red (ルパンレッド, Rupan Reddo). He takes his role as a Lupinranger seriously despite lazing around while working at the Bistrot Jurer and his antics with Keiichiro. Behind this façade, Kairi is a traumatized individual who lost his parents as a child, which leads to him becoming jealous of Keiichiro. After apparently losing his older brother, Shori Yano (夜野 勝利, Yano Shōri), to Zamigo, he seeks vengeance against him and will go berserk at the sight of him.
- By setting the Victory Striker into the VS Changer, Lupin Red can become Super Lupin Red (スーパールパンレッド, Sūpā Rupan Reddo). He also acquires the Lupin Magnum (ルパンマグナム, Rupan Magunamu) handgun, considered to be the Lupin Collection's most powerful item, which can perform the Itadaki Do-Do-Do Strike (イタダキド・ド・ドストライク, Itadaki Do Do Do Sutoraiku) finisher by combining with the VS Changer. The Lupin Magnum can also enlarge to either be used by Lupin Kaiser in performing the Good Striker: Firing Magnum (グッドストライカー・ぶっぱなしちまえマグナム, Guddo Sutoraikā Buppanashichimae Magunamu) finisher or transform into a humanoid Robo Mode (ロボモード, Robo Mōdo) to fight enlarged Ganglar members as well as combine with the Blue and Yellow Dial Fighters to form Lupin Magnum Superior (ルパンマグナムスペリオル, Rupan Magunamu Superioru).
- Kairi Yano is portrayed by Asahi Ito (伊藤 あさひ, Itō Asahi).
- Tooma Yoimachi (宵町 透真, Yoimachi Tōma)
- A 24-year-old composed gentleman who uses the war plane-themed Blue Dial Fighter (ブルーダイヤルファイター, Burū Daiyaru Faitā) to become Lupin Blue (ルパンブルー, Rupan Burū), having joined the group after the apparent death of his fiancé Aya Ohira (大平 彩, Ōhira Aya). As the oldest and most experienced member due to having worked at the Ciel Bleu (シエル・ブル, Shieru Buru) restaurant, he is normally the group's voice of reason, though he is prone to occasional lapses in judgement.
- Tooma Yoimichi is portrayed by Shogo Hama (濱 正悟, Hama Shōgo).
- Umika Hayami (早見 初美花, Hayami Umika)
- An 18/19-year-old carefree girl who uses the autogyro-themed Yellow Dial Fighter (イエローダイヤルファイター, Ierō Daiyaru Faitā) to become Lupin Yellow (ルパンイエロー, Rupan Ierō), having joined the group after the apparent death of her best friend Shiho Ichinose (一ノ瀬 詩穂, Ichinose Shiho), after she pushed Umika out of the way of Zamigo's blast, which lead to Umika dropping out of Kohakugaoka Girls' High School (琥珀ヶ丘女子高校, Kohakugaoka Joshi Kōkō). Working as a waitress at Bistrot Jurer, she is the most friendly to the Patrangers as she has fought alongside Tsukasa while maintaining her cover.
- By setting the Victory Striker into the VS Changer, Lupin Yellow can become Super Lupin Yellow (スーパールパンイエロー, Sūpā Rupan Ierō).
- Umika Hayami is portrayed by Haruka Kudō (工藤 遥, Kudō Haruka).
Patrangers
[edit]The eponymous Patrangers are a trio of police officers from the Global Special Police Organization (国際特別警察機構, Kokusai Tokubetsu Keisatsu Kikō, GSPO), an international police force based in France that was established to deal with the Ganglar menace. The group are based at the GSPO's Japan Branch, which is in the same neighborhood as the Bistrot Jurer.
To transform, the Patrangers utilize a series of land vehicle-themed VS Vehicles called Trigger Machines (トリガーマシン, Torigā Mashin), which enable them to reset the passcode on a Ganglar member's safe and disable it, in conjunction with the VS Changer. While transformed, they each carry a Pat Megabo (パトメガボー, Pato Megabō) sidearm, which can switch between Megaphone Mode (メガホンモード, Megahon Mōdo) and Baton Mode (警棒モード, Keibō Mōdo). By setting Good Striker in Trigger Machine mode into the VS Changer, the Patrangers can merge into the tricolored Patren Ugou (パトレンU号, Patoren Yūgō) in order to perform the Ichigeki Strike (イチゲキストライク, Ichigeki Sutoraiku, One-Hit Strike) finisher. By setting the tank-themed Siren Striker (サイレンストライカー, Sairen Sutoraikā) into the VS Changer, a Patranger can become an armored Super Patranger (スーパーパトレンジャー, Sūpā Patorenjā), which grants a pair of shoulder-mounted cannons.
To fight enlarged Ganglar members, the Patrangers combine their personal Trigger Machines and Good Striker to form Pat Kaiser (パトカイザー, Pato Kaizā) via Police Force Combination (警察合体, Keisatsu Gattai), whose finisher is the Pat Kaiser: Bullet Strike (パトカイザー・弾丸ストライク, Pato Kaizā Dangan Sutoraiku). Pat Kaiser can also assume alternate formations by substituting their regular Trigger Machines with auxiliaries.
- Keiichiro Asaka (朝加 圭一郎, Asaka Keiichirō)
- A hot-blooded, serious police officer and leader of the Patrangers who uses Trigger Machine 1gou (トリガーマシン1号, Torigā Mashin Ichigō) to become the red-colored Patren 1gou (パトレン1号, Patoren Ichigō). He puts his duties as a police officer first in pursuing Ganglar members and protecting civilians. While he has a positive view on how the Lupin Collection could be used for good, he initially expressed disdain towards the Lupinrangers before learning of Lupin Red's motives and realizing the group is more than they appeared. As Keiichiro grew up with a kind and loving family, he did not know suffering until he met Kairi. After learning of his past and how his brother became one of Zamigo's victims, Keiichiro understands what it means to suffer.
- By setting the Siren Striker into the VS Changer, Patren 1gou can become Super Patren 1gou (スーパーパトレン1号, Sūpā Patoren Ichigō).
- Keiichiro Asaka is portrayed by Kousei Yuki (結木 滉星, Yūki Kōsei).
- Sakuya Hikawa (陽川 咲也, Hikawa Sakuya)
- An optimistic junior to Keiichiro and Tsukasa who uses Trigger Machine 2gou (トリガーマシン2号, Torigā Mashin Nigō) to become the green-colored Patren 2gou (パトレン2号, Patoren Nigō). He was brought in to replace Satoru Shinonome, and serves as the team's sharpshooter and police car driver. Sakuya is observant and quick-thinking, though he considers doing his job and protecting civilians as more important than the GSPO's reputation. Unlike Keiichiro, he has a positive view of the Lupinrangers. Sakuya later fell in love with Umika, and denies that she is a Lupinranger until he learned of their identities and learned of Umika's reasoning for becoming a Lupinranger.
- By setting the Siren Striker into the VS Changer, Patren 2gou can become Super Patren 2gou (スーパーパトレン2号, Sūpā Patoren Nigō).
- Sakuya Hikawa is portrayed by Ryo Yokoyama (横山 涼, Yokoyama Ryō).
- Tsukasa Myoujin (明神 つかさ, Myōjin Tsukasa)
- A candid, caring policewoman and Keiichiro's classmate from police school who aspired to become an officer like her grandfather and uses Trigger Machine 3gou (トリガーマシン3号, Torigā Mashin Sangō) to become the pink-colored Patren 3gou (パトレン3号, Patoren Sangō). As the most calm and collected member of the Patrangers, she is often forced to temper her teammates' personalities. Unlike Keiichiro and Sakuya, she is indifferent towards the Lupinrangers, as she is more focused on their origins and equipment. Despite her serious demeanor, she secretly has an obsession for plush toys and a fondness for adorable children. After learning the Lupinrangers' identities, she developed a desire to help them rather than arrest them.
- Tsukasa Myoujin is portrayed by Kazusa Okuyama (奥山 かずさ, Okuyama Kazusa).
Noël Takao
[edit]Noël Takao (高尾 ノエル, Takao Noeru) is a mysterious 26-year-old gentleman thief who also operates as a special investigator from the GSPO's French headquarters. He was the adopted son of Arsène Lupin and one of Back World's original inhabitants alongside Kogure, being the one who created the VS Changers and the VS Vehicles along with other items in the Lupin Collection. Noël arrived in Japan to aid the Lupinrangers and Patrangers, intending to unite the two teams against the Ganglars.
Unlike the Lupinrangers and Patrangers, Noël utilizes the X Changer (Xチェンジャー, Ekkusu Chenjā) firearm, a combination of two items from a series of rail transport-themed VS Vehicles called X Trains (エックストレイン, Ekkusu Torein), to transform into one of two X (エックス, Ekkusu) forms based on one of the aforementioned teams. While transformed, he wields the X Rod Sword (Xロッドソード, Ekkusu Roddo Sōdo) sidearm, which has two modes that are each compatible with his forms.
- Lupin X (ルパンX, Rupan Ekkusu): Noël's silver-colored Lupinranger form accessed from the Shinkansen-themed X Train Silver (エックストレインシルバー, Ekkusu Torein Shirubā) that is also known as the "Sparkling Aloof Phantom Thief" (孤高に煌めく快盗, Kokō ni Kirameku Kaitō). In this form, he wields the X Rod Sword in Sword Mode, which allows him to perform the Superior X (スペリオルエックス, Superioru Ekkusu) finisher. By setting the Siren Striker into a Lupinranger or Patranger's VS Changer, he can transform into Super Lupin X (スーパールパンX, Sūpā Rupan Ekkusu).
- Patren X (パトレンX, Patoren Ekkusu): Noël's gold-colored Patranger form accessed from the steam locomotive-themed X Train Gold (エックストレインゴールド, Ekkusu Torein Gōrudo) that is also known as the "Noble Shining Police Officer" (気高く輝く警察官, Kedakaku Kagayaku Keisatsukan). In this form, he wields the X Rod Sword in Jitte Mode (十手モード, Jitte Mōdo), which allows him to perform the Excellent X (エクセレントエックス, Ekuserento Ekkusu) finisher. By setting the Victory Striker into a Lupinranger or Patranger's VS Changer, he can transform into Super Patren X (スーパーパトレンX, Sūpā Patoren Ekkusu).
To fight enlarged Ganglar members, Noël combines his X Changer, the Shinkansen-themed X Train Fire (エックストレインファイヤー, Ekkusu Torein Faiyā), and the diesel locomotive-themed X Train Thunder (エックストレインサンダー, Ekkusu Torein Sandā) to form X Emperor (エックスエンペラー, Ekkusu Enperā) via X Combination (エックス合体, Ekkusu Gattai), which can switch between two sub-forms:
- X Emperor Slash (エックスエンペラースラッシュ, Ekkusu Enperā Surasshu): A close combat form, primarily piloted by Lupin X, whose finisher is the X Emperor Slash Strike (エックスエンペラースラッシュストライク, Ekkusu Enperā Surasshu Sutoraiku).
- X Emperor Gunner (エックスエンペラーガンナー, Ekkusu Enperā Gannā): A long range combat form, primarily piloted by Patren X, whose finisher is the X Emperor Gunner Strike (エックスエンペラーガンナーストライク, Ekkusu Enperā Gannā Sutoraiku).
Noël Takao is portrayed by Seiya Motoki (元木 聖也, Motoki Seiya).

While Good Cool Kaiser VSX's signature finisher is the Good Cool Kaiser: Vehicle Rush Strike (グッドクルカイザー・ビークルラッシュストライク, Guddo Kuru Kaizā Bīkuru Rasshu Sutoraiku), it can use the Lupin Magnum to perform the Good Cool Kaiser: Vehicle Burst Magnum (グッドクルカイザー・ビークルバーストマグナム, Guddo Kuru Kaizā Bīkuru Bāsuto Magunamu) finisher.

Despite being 999 years old, he is incredibly powerful due to his chest-mounted golden safe, which can hold the entirety of the Lupin Collection and is protected by unbreakable Physical Protect Chains (フィジカル・プロテクト・チェーン, Fijikaru Purotekuto Chēn), which he can manipulate for offensive and defensive purposes. After personally killing Arsène Lupin, Dogranio decides to retire and sets up a contest among his subordinates to select the heir to his criminal empire. Following Destra's death, Dogranio confronts the Lupinrangers and Patrangers himself, only to lose all of his Lupin Collection items he held and imprisoned within the GSPO's underground prison, bound with his own chains.

Destra's shoulder-mounted golden safes originally held two Lupin Collection items: the "Au loin" (遠く離れて, Tōku Hanarete, Far off) slingshot, which increases his firing range, and the "Le coup de chance" (幸運の大当たり, Kōun no Ōatari, The stroke of luck) device, which adds a homing effect to his missiles. However, Destra gave them to Ganglar members Togeno Aves and Anidara Maximoff for their use. He eventually decides to confront the Super Sentai teams and steals the Siren Striker and Victory Striker, gaining gyrokinesis and foresight respectively, to do so. After the stolen VS Vehicles were retrieved, Destra had Gauche enlarge him, only to be destroyed by the Super Sentai teams.

After being betrayed by Dogranio, both the Lupinrangers and the Patrangers attacked her, though she was left severely weakened. In a final attempt to kill the teams, she ripped her safe off and attached it to her final experiment, the black Experimental Body, before dying from her wounds. In the stage show Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger: Final Live Tour 2019, Gauche is revived by Kazemi, but is destroyed by the Lupinrangers, Patrangers, and Ryusoulgers.

Zamigo played a role in the Lupinrangers' formation as they assumed he killed their loved ones during his rampage during Dogranio's 998th birthday, forming a rivalry with Kairi. He later let Gauche implant a third safe on his tail and gains access to her "Évade-toi de l'autre côté" (突き抜けろ, Tsukinukero, Escape to the other side), which allows him to liquefy his body to withstand attacks. After learning that Kairi is the younger brother of one of his victims, Zamigo exploited this to set up a final duel that ended with his death and his victims returned to where he abducted them from. In the stage show Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger: Final Live Tour 2019, Zamigo is revived by Kazemi, but is destroyed by Lupin Red.
