We all know that Toei likes Lupinranger so much that Patranger looks like "secondary rider" despite their name on the title. I think Hasbro will do the opposite. They will make Patranger the star and Lupinranger the "secondary rider" considering thief is bad. Or maybe they won't make the Lupinranger as thief but something else like how Saban make Super Megaforce as ordinary kids instead of pirates.

They can always label them as vigilantes I guess? So they could always repackage the whole show as the Civil War of Power Rangers in a way.

Thief rangers go to college while Cop rangers go to university.

The X Ranger is someone who tries to bring them together.

All I know is that I would be deeply amused if the cop Rangers got the main focus.

No idea if an official adaptation would follow this, but in a fan adaptation I’m following on FF.Net, it has the Lupins as a group of assistant librarians whose parent vanished in a lab accident where there was ice in summer. The Pats are reinterpreted as a group of space police who’ve come to Earth to arrest the villains and recover their “weapons”. The fighting between the two teams is only because rate cops refuse to let the other side explain themselves the first few times they meet, so the others decide to stop trying and accept it.

I'd be game for a complete new story in the vain of Hexagon.

It could be great if instead of revealing the Lupinrangers' side from the beginning, the story was initially told from the Patrangers' perspective and part of the overarching plot was them piecing together the mysteries surrounding the Lupins. Who are they? What are they after? Why do they treat us as enemies? Why didn't our mentor tell us about them?

I don't have answers to all those, but I'd like if the mentor turned out to be not entirely trustworthy, and if Lupin Red was Pat Red's brother who went missing sometime in the backstory.

X could either keep his role as the double agent who wants both teams to work together but keeps secrets from both of them, or he could have a split personality.

Let's not have any sibling trope in this one.

Why, does PR have a bad history with that? I admit I haven't watched very much.

I really want Hasbro to make LuPat as mature as RPM because we never have a mature season since then.
