LupinRanger VS PatRanger Episode 30- "The Two Are On A Trip!" Discussion
 

Keiichiro & Kaito both wind up at the same hot springs resort- run by a Gangler?!

As soon as the episode airs, someone please just spoil who are piloting the robot in the end. If it's just the three Lupinrangers, at least I'll get the disappointment out of the way first.

According to scans, patranger were the ones that suppose to use the new arm and gain a new weapon as well, but the show decide to screw it since the final quarter scan I guess X is taking the final powerup for patrolred anyway, so they're demoting him them even more as the joke. I've seen reviews praising the story and the actions, but seriously it's all filler for the last few months. We are still playing the Lupin secret identity card despite lupin X debut could have fixed it. It would be nice if they're two goodstriker or clone version like gekiviolet. I mean the ice monster that killed off the 3 important people of lupinrangers lives barely did anything. His actor was kikaider, so at least give him more role since he's feature in the opening. Kogure and the villains like always are just sitting back waiting for the 40 episode mark hit before they reveal the end game. The toys aren selling well and I know it's a contrast to Kamen rider seriousness to have sentai a bit more fillerish.

I've seen the scans. But I am holding out the vague hope the episode won't be exactly that.

Also most Sentai are prevailently episodic, I just need them to be good episodes. In this case, I need this episide to not just have me grumbling for the Patrangers the whole time.

It was the Lupinrangers, but not because Keiichiro lost against Kairi, but because Keiichiro give it to Kairi.

It was a pretty cool episode by the way. The gangler fight was hilarious and the double red bonding is pretty nice.

Pretty good episode. Both Kairi and Keichiro getting fleshed out. Loved seeing Keichiro showing what a nice guy he really is when his not being intense, and when he shows genuine joy helping people out.

Kairi seeing this side to Keichiro seems to be setting up the team up of the two sides soon.

And I don't know if I'm being childish but I really found the fight against the Gangler quite funny.

Really quite a solid episode in my opinion.

TFW Sentai can make better fart jokes than Power Rangers.

Gouache was funny as well, getting hit by a fart cloud just as she was coming out of her portal, then having just her arm come out to upsize the Gangler.

Really enjoyed this episode overall, hope they are building up to the reveal at this point though.

I'm almost okay with Keiichiro giving the new power-up to the Lupins because it was a really good story beat. It's still kinda bullshit that, though.

Eh, in the end they are one single team overall, though I feel like they are making them into a true team to slowly, I do not think this MY TEAM VERSUS ANOTHER FANS TEAM stuff is worth arguing about at all in the long run, overall I feel like there is way to much complaining about it as well.

The question i have though, is will they get a fully new name when they end up as a team ? And will V and S be explained ?

That makes it slightly better. I also have to admit that the character work in the episode makes it hard for me to be too upset. Even if some marketing or editing folks somewhere clearly don't like the cops, I'm glad the writers are at least doing their best to make up for it, development-wise.

For kids show this series has had some good story telling


In particular, this episode showed the difference between lupine red and Patreon red when faced with the crying girl's lost hair pin. Patreon red ran off to find, basically, a needle in a haystack. Lupinered just went to the street vendors to buy another one. Sorta sums up the difference between them

Also, the Patren team doesn't trust X and outright lied to him, a big step

Just like patren red cedes the fire truck to lupin red bc it is the right thing to do

This may foreshadow the obvious and eventual team up

A pity the merch isn't doubt wel and the mechanism designs are bleh. I'm enjoying this show

I have been farted in the face with my mouth open so my sympathies go to Gauche because she might of had her mouth open as well. Overall a good episode.
