LupinRanger VS PatRanger Episode 14- "The Trap Is Set!" Discussion
 

The PatRangers must protect a group of schoolchildren on a field trip to the mountains when new Gangler activity threatens several lives.

Was fun. No Goodstriker, which was neat, too~
I finally enjoyed seeing what Dogranio could do, too.

A bad guy smart enough to exploit the fact that the Lupinrangers only want the treasure! It was also a good way to get rid of them for an episode to mostly focus on the Patrengers, which was good.

I don't enjoy mecha battle as much as I used to because of the typical motw finisher and bad arm swap. I prefer something unique like the red vs red mecha battle. Also, pat is getting some not filler comedy relief focus. I'm curious how the new "6th" warrior comes to play,

Maybe the Sixth Ranger (or Seventh Ranger in this show) want to end conflict between Patranger and Lupinranger and trying to unite them.

4-0-4 Treasure Not Found.

Best gag as of yet. :lolol

This episode has officially cemented Keiichiro as GOAT.

I guess the writers have been padding for time for the last few episodes and were just waiting for Bandai to release the the Drill and Crane combo so that they could actually progress the story in some way. Either way, this was a really good episode.

I liked how they actually called back to an earlier mech fight and showed a monster getting crushed in the process which was pretty cool and helped make the show feel a bit more coherent rather than just a "plot of the week" series which for the most part it has been.

Dear lord I am loving this season.

This show is good, this show is so good I am legit worried power rangers will turn it into another Megaforce-Super megaforce........

Oh god.....No....Not like this !

Best episode for the Pats hands down. (It helped that the Lupins didn't even transform).

Loved seeing where Keiichiro got his motivation to be a cop. And the fight between the two Ganglers and Niigo and Sango was pretty good too. I noticed Sango loves doing tackles and leg locks in her fighting style.

And is this the first time that an auxiliary weapon finished of a giant motw? I can't remember any other.

The Scissors and Blade Dial Fighter did it during its debut.

I am SO GLAD they finally gave context to Keichiro's strong passion for justice against criminals including the Patrangers. And the fact that it wasn't any typical sob story, but instead just a story of inspiration is GREAT.

I know it's pretty late to ask this, but it's been bothering me for a while now- why are the lupinrangers actually wanted by the police? I mean sure you have vigilantism and property damage but that's it sooo why?

Well the way the Pats see it is pretty simple. the Lupins are thieves, end of story.
Yes they’re stealing from thieves, but that doesn’t really cancel out the fact that they are stealing. So that along with the vigilantism and property damage is enough to make them targets too.

Also factor in interfering with numerous crime scenes as well as theft and assaulting an officer (On numerous occasions).
Crime is crime. Just because they're not murderers doesn't mean that they can't be highly wanted criminals.

Like the episode but I do not like Trigger Crane and Drill. They are like the crappy version of Blade and Scissors.

My guess is he will be a ranger for hire type character.

Well on top of that too not only are they thieves but they are stealing what are effectively massively dangerous weapons.
