I gotta say I am liking a lot of stuff from this series so far, except the suits. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if they grow on me, but so far they seem to be a step down from the Kyuranger ones IMO.

Not to say I think the suits look bad or anything , they don't and I definitely can see the aesthetic for the two teams, I'm just not feeling the designs.

I am definitely looking forward to it though.

Is it me, or does the saw blade arm on Lupinkaiser's yellow arm make me think of the AbarenOh Nokodon from Abaranger?

I just realized that after the 40th anniversary of Super Sentai, we have gone back to the names of Sentai having the word "Ranger" in them. It started with Kyuranger and now it continues with Lupinranger and Patoranger.

One big question about this series: how’s the sixth ranger or seventh going to work out? Will they each have a fourth ranger?

Let's face it: it'd be hard for a design to be anything other than a little disappointing after Kyuranger. They're still clearly experimenting with interesting visor shapes. And the Patoranger design is relatively busy, probably because Lupinranger got the sleekest elements.

They could do it any number of ways. They could go the "double agent" route some people have suggested, but it sounds like the teams will be reluctantly working together from the outset. Then again, they may have merged into a single team by that point, so there might be a single new hero. They could, indeed, have each team gain a new member. I could also see them doing a half-and-half hero, with a visor that's half police hat, half top hat. A detective hat could also work. Or... hm. I could also see them going with a hero whose theme is balance, maybe using scales as a symbol. Even more so than Kyuranger, I don't think we can accurately guess at the show's structure, just yet.

I just realized that the "V" logo of Lupinranger is made to look like a top hat.

Good find, the silhouette does look like a stylized top hat. I wonder why Patorangers have an S while Lupinrangers are V. I guess V is for Vandal? The S logo I cannot make any guesses yet.

"S" for Safety.

I assume it's purely that when together, they spell VS. I wouldn't assume any intentionality beyond that, but who knows?

Would it be funny if both teams got 6th Rangers, with the Patoranger one being black and the Lupinranger one being white?
