If this is another one of those "UGH THE FILLERS" arguments, I really disagree with that notion, especially for a show like Lupin v. Pat, where the fillers are 1) actually DECENT---GOOD, and 2) still contained valuable pieces of information that would later on be concluded on Sorry if it comes off rude, but I just detest this kneejerk reaction that the fandom has gotten with Lupin v Pat, where people were complaining about the fillers to the point where they were saying they were bringing the show down, which couldn't be further from the truth, due to my above points. Majority of those fillers were GOOD if you ask me. I think this mainly comes from just the trend of recent Sentai shows, whose fillers WERE mediocre---terrible, and when people saw fillers for this show, they just had the same immediate reaction to them.

**ROUND OF APPLAUSE**
WOW, just WOW. This show's Finale....was near PERFECT. Don't get me wrong, there are a few things that are iffy with this Finale, but overall, still, this has to be one of the best ways to send off a Sentai in years. First off, just the way the Lupinrangers were content that their mission was fulfilled, so they were fine with dying if they had to.....that was really where their characters showed true heroism. I loved the scenes of just seeing them relaxed & not worried of their unfortunate fate. Which is why I have to slightly criticize this Episode by saying.....I honestly think that this Finale would've been better if they had not had the Lupinrangers return at the end. Instead, just end it off with the Patrangers reminiscing of them, and then hint at the Lupinrangers' loved ones becoming Phantom Thieves in order to save them. Then that way, whenever their V-Cinema comes out (let's be honest, this NEEDS to happen), THEN we can have a cool story of them getting LupinRex & saving the Lupinrangers, and we can have the cool reunion of the Lupinrangers vs the Patrangers there. Now, let's address the Dogranio fight. The way they depower Dogranio is something I really love, because it's a method I didn't see coming.....but at the same time, I gotta wonder just WHY they have Kogure's book NOW of all times. Maybe I missed a passing mention of them taking it with them...? I hope I did...? But if not, this is admittedly a tadbit problematic. Oh well, the fight was cool anyway. And the scene of the Patrangers struggling to actually finish off Dogranio honestly was pretty tense. Now, given what they did do with Dogranio at the end.....WOW. Did not expect them to actually keep him alive & imprisoned. FINALLY these guys actually act like cops.....LOL but anyway, great twist at the end. I really thought Keichiro would go through with the shot (due to my desired scenario above), but nope. And it's honestly not a bad idea, so can't fault them for that. But that final scramble at the end was just SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH. And it's fun to know that now they're pretty much just fighting over the Lupin Collection piece for simple fun rivalry. The fight scene was just a highlight of how great Lupin v Pat's fight choreography is. Whoever choreographs this Series deserves a raise, and NEEDS to stay for Sentai as long as possible. Overall, I'm proud to say that Lupin v. Pat is now at my 3rd Best Sentai, behind Go-Busters at #2 and Shinkenger at #1. This could be the start of Super Sentai's turnaround in quality. Let's hope Ryusoulger continues the trend due to its brand-new writer.

"Lackluster plot?!" I have no idea what you're talking about, the plot was decent at best! Simple, sure, but it works for what it was. The plot is the Lupinrangers & Patrangers working at defeating the Ganglers, and in the meantime collecting Lupin Collection pieces/identifying the Lupinrangers. While sure, you could make some nitpicks on how the Patrangers took till the Finale to figure out the Lupinrangers' identities, I really don't see the issue with how they handled it to be that bad. First off, I expected their identities to be revealed sometime around the end of the show. Second, their piecing together of information was very well-done, and props to the show for being able to put bits of information throughout the journey in order for them to put these all together to make their conclusion.

I felt the book was kind of a lame way to go about it, simply because of how ridiculously huge it is that none of the Lupin rangers could reasonably store it on their person. I was thinking of a more poignant resolution would be for the Lupin rangers to start destroying collection pieces inside Dogranio, but whatever. What's done is done.
The Lupins reuniting with their lost loved ones was a nice scene. Seeing Keiichiro actually using Siren Striker was also pretty nice. Jackpot striker releasing the Lupins was a cop out, but apparently he's been missing since the movie that I haven't seen, so whatever. Decent episode, but if this guy had the final collection piece, then the only missing pieces are the 3 Pat's VS changers, the 3 trigger machines, Scissors, Magic, Siren, and Victory (Since the Lupins took Bike and Crane, so they're probably back in the collection). Still wondering if Lupin Black and Pat 0gou will happen, though. Ninninger for zio. Forgettable anniversary series if this keeps up. At Least gokaiger, the actors are more likable and entertaining. |

He pretty much very important to the story but he barely appear or do anything until end game (46-50) Also Remember ? When Kogure's Behave a lot suspicious ? Goodie's was very scared Him and Noel's look like not trust him somehow ? They throw that out of the windows and make them a happy family now Last edited by Gantarat; 02-11-2019 at 04:13 AM.. |

seems a couple Sentai veterans dropped by Bistro Jurer for the last episode.
From left to right, these are: *Yuki Nagata/Yellow Mask *Mai Ooish/Change Phoenix *Sumiko Tanaka/Yellow Four (the second) *Michiko Makino/Pink Five |

This show was bad. But I liked it.
The final episode was great, even though it left many questions unanswered. Lupin and the collection didn't really play a big role in the end in the way I thought they would, but that may have been for the better. The ending that most people, including myself, expected: Lupin granting a wish to make everyone happy, thankfully didn’t came true. The ending they went with is much better. Still... I don't know. I will forever think about this show with a positive attitude just because I enjoyed it so much but I can't muster myself to defend it like I did Zyuohger. Because unlike Zyuohger, I do think LuPat was a bad show. But one I liked watching. If I had to say what I liked best about the show - probably the fight scenes. They went the extra mile a lot of times with new camera angles and choreographic, the final episode recapped that perfectly with the fight scene at the end. So yeah, LupinRanger vs. PatRanger - me like. I hope the next season can somehow be better while entertaining me in a similar fashion, but what I've seen so far isn’t good. But I don't expect too much of Sentai for a reason, low expectations help enjoy this series much better. |

Guess I have to think of an appropriate way to send this one off. This season started with promise, LOTS of it, and after toy sales were failing they threw that away in an attempt to recover which was for nothing. The show was mostly ok, for every good thing it had, there's something I grew tired of. However, I'm glad I watched it. It had the same criticisms people had for Zyuohger due to the same writer but I feel Zyuohger's cast were more charming, especially Misao, which is why people are saying they prefer Zyuohger. This finale though? It brought it all back, Keichiro FINALLY got his power up, the teams split up and that shot of Dogranio on his knees before it pans out and we hear a gunshot? Fucking dark and chilling despite the aftermath. Outside of Jackpotstriker, this ending felt incredible, especially as we saw a new team of Phantom Thieves
