so, just so we're all on the same page - Patranger got retconned to be part of the 42nd Sentai team, right? Cus it seems like they're lumped together with Lupinranger in the image and while I remember the director stating they're the 43rd team, Zenkaiser uses the 45 medallion so...I guess LuPat is just one team now?

I think the suits look cool, the gun looks alright. A unique concept at least?

Lupinranger and Patranger are not one team, they are from one season the 42nd season, that's how Toei is counting them.

They're really pushing ZenKaiser hard as the new face of Super Sentai in the Reiwa Era (or even Super Sentai as a whole for that matter).

I don't know if I am the only one to notice but the mecha partners are all based on mecha that the Gokaigers and Go-Busters transformed into initially during their team-up movie with the Megazord keys (except Gekiranger).

So, each mech gets a season number. Does this open the possibility of other season gears and mechs? I'd love to see Dynarobo, Jetrobo or Biorobo get some love. Daidenjin would work really well being a single jet to robot, no parts of the homage would be left out.

You're not the only one. I made a note of this in another Thread.

My dream about returning characters from Gokaiger to Kiramagers in Zenkaiger series.

- Gokai Red from Gokaiger
- Red Buster Go-Busters
- Kyoryu Blue from Kyoryuger
- Toq 6gou from Toqger
- Starninger from Ninninger
- Zyuoh Bird from Zyuohger
- Oushi Black from Kyuranger
- Patren 1gou and Lupin X/Patren X from Lupinranger vs Patranger
- Ryusoul Black and Ryusoul Green from Ryusoulger
- All 6 Kiramagers from Kiramager

Something tells me that we will get 2 Gears with 42. One with LupinKaiser's face, the other with PatKaiser's face.

or one gear with both of them, like half and half down the middle.

Toei count seasons not individual teams. and it seems to only bother western fans about the designations anyway
