While we have nothing but assumptions about how the actual OP will be used, I like that it is a joint song, I assume the split versions of the track will be used in the show when the main focus is on either team as a battle track, they generally use the main theme as a battle track here and there.
I understand it's a nitpick but again, I keep hearing LUPIN LUPIN LUPIN and it feels like there's no balance, which is a criticsm I had of the first 3 episodes though this episode is fixing that

Yeah... That ain't making it into the PR adaption. Human Trafficking might, although downplayed and more in general slavery, but not the Organ harvesting.

Yeah... Watching Sentai with my friend, it really was something considering how often Zyuranger and Ohranger got him to say "Oh God!" about the monster of the week... I think it was Bara Phantom? The one who'd abducted the little girls that most suprised him on how dark it was. And this was after we'd had two episodes in a row earlier where Baranoia was trying to convert humans and someone tried suicide with a gun to the head!

These criminals are not just cutesy harmless bad guys, but do some of the same stuff that real criminals do. I personally like that and think it fits the show nicely. Especially since it draws a further line between them and the Lupinrangers, who ARE harmless criminals (assuming they even are technically criminals since they are just retrieving stolen property) I think that's probably why they are doing it. If we are supposed to root for thieves, then we can't have the bard guys also be realtively harmless criminals. They have to be clearly all out nasty, with no room for sympathy. Or as much as children's television allows.
Its probably more to do with the fact that they want the central conflict of the rangers to be prominent which is a more interesting concept.

Its a single line in a scene they'd probably cut. There are other reasons why thsi show is less likely to get adapted, though.

Just to throw my two cents in on this one, I feel like even calling that a nitpick is a bit extreme. The lyrics for the flashy thieves brag about how great they are at stealing s*** while the lyrics for the determined cops brag about their ability to catch flashy thieves. Like, I get that it's literally saying "Lupin" a bunch, but then, "Pato" isn't even a word by itself, so...

That, and "Lupin" is the only word he recognizes because he doesn't speak Japanese. The song is very balanced.

Regarding the episode...

I loved it! This show is doing so many things I love that haven't been done in Sentai in quite a while.

This episode in particular features one of my most-missed Sentai elements -- MOTWs that can take human form! We haven't seen this consistently since, what? Shinkenger?

In shinkenger it was just sometimes, similar to Boukenger in that regard, the monsters this season seem to have a human disguise always which is pretty fantastic.

You just know we are going to have cases of "WHO IS THE GANGLER ?" eventually, the only reason the Lupinrangers know who to target is due to Kogure telling them and I doubt that is going to stay a constant for the majority of the show.

I assume this is what is eventually bring the team together as one, putting them in situations they have to work together in order to find and stop the Gangler of the week, and we all know they will do so in order to form the larger mecha.

Even though Lupinranger and Patranger are both the main characters, The Lupinrangers are the "main" main characters as they have a goal to accomplish where the main focus is getting the collection back, but they are still thieves which brings in the Patranger.
Do you think both teams will ever have a Batman-like dynamic in the future. Maybe not early on since they still have Lupin/Patren X as an undercover agent.
