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.
