Actually, I think Winter Movies are just cancelled now too, based on what Shirakura has said.

If I recall, the plans are to make it a V Cinema thing

So we are going back to V Cinema? Considering these films were V Cinema prior to Go-on VS Geki fine by me.

Writer: Junko Komura
Director: Teruaki Sugihara
Producer: Tsuyoshi Utsunomiya

So there are rumors of a 3rd team being Pirates and they would appear around May or June and their colors would be Red, Silver, & Gold with gold as the female of the team.

If this is a thing then I hope they release private detectives too later on. I do hope this pirate rumor is legit. :rock:

If it is real think of what the visors will look like for the Pirate team.

Anchors perhaps? Or a silhouette of a pirate captain's hat maybe' particularly the one that resembles Napoleon's hat, since so far the visors are hat-shaped.

What would their mecha look like and work with the VS Changer?

I imagine they are the tsuika senshis of the show, if so I can see them using something completely different while using ships as their vehicles because pirates.

Roll call and transformation sounds

They sound really cool. Love the finger snapping.

Series' themesong will be performed by Project R (group that did Sentai themes from Go-Onger through Gobusters).

Isn't Project.R basically composed of every Sentai theme song artist from the last 15+ years? That's how they introduce them at every live show.
When they're credited as Project.R it basically means that several of them, if not all, are performing the song together. Like with Toqger's ending.

Yeah, it's more or less the whole bunch.
Japanese Wikipedia lists the following members:
Takahashi Hideyuki (Engine Sentai Go-Onger, Busters Ready Go!,...)
Takayoshi Tanimoto (Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger, Tatakae! Kyoryuger...)
Sister MAYO (Jumon Kourin -Magical Force-, Pirate Girls...)
NoB (Gogo Sentai Boukenger, Tensou Sentai Goseiger,...)
Iwasaki Takafumi (Mahou Sentai Magiranger, Tonikaku Ashita mo Go-Onger...)
Takatori Hideaki (Hurricanger Sanjou!, Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger,...)
Gojo Mayumi (Fight!, Pirate Girls,...)
Psychic Lover (Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, Boukensha On The Road,...)
Matsubara Tsuyoshi (Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Kyutama Dancing,...)
Oshitani Saki (Super Sentai Hero Getter)
Kamada Showgo (Vamola! Kyoryuger, Byun Byun! Toqger,...)
Yohei Onishi (Saa Ike! Ninninger!, Let's Zyuoh Dance,...)
Hatano Tomohiro (Lucky*Star)

And that's just singers the singers. They also have some more members listed for songwriting and an announcer, but yeah.

Confirmed- the series' theme is performed by 2 singers, Tatsuhiko Yoshida & Hitomi Yoshida. Those who have heard the early preview describe it as "two similar-sounding songs eventually fusing."

Each also performs a solo song for the series-

*LupinRanger, Turn Your Dials
*Chase You Up, PatRanger

Villain cast has also been announced:

*Dogranio Yabon, leader of the "Ganglers" will be voiced by Mitsuru Miyamoto (Roger Smith in "Big O")

*Second-in-command Destra Majo will be played by Yuji Ueda (Brock from "Pokemon")

*Rounding out the Gangler trio is Goche Lu Medo, voiced by singer Ayana Taketatsu.

Wanted to point out a correction, Ayana Taketatsu is a voice actress/singer.

Notable roles include:

Azusa Nakano from K-On!

Kirino Kosaka from Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai

Leafa from Sword Art Online II

Hotaru Shidare from Dagashikashi

Dunno if I'm digging up more stuff in the treasure chest, but this 2 parter sneak peek came up not too long ago from Bandai JP's Youtube site.

I loving everything I'm seeing so far and the split preview videos are brilliant. I'm always happy when a sentai doesn't go with stock transformations and goes with on screen changes. I wonder if the PatRanger start out as a response to what amounts to a gang war between the bad guys and LupinRanger.

Found the transformation sequences on Twitter.

Patranger

Lupinranger

Well it's the first episode, I'd be surprised if they don't use stock transformations later

Q2 rumor time!

Ranger #7 is said to be a "detective" who can use the same devices as both teams. And supposedly has 2 unique Mecha of his own to combine with GoodStriker.

Maybe Detective Ranger will be in Patoranger side.

Hmm....LupinKaiser and PatoKaiser other pictures:

https://scontent.fcgk4-1.fna.fbcdn.n...1e&oe=5ADCF856

They could be better but I quite like the mech designs. Although the Goodstriker looks awkward, they did do a reasonable job at making them look different

Either that or another possibility I can think of is a private eye detective who is not affiliated with the Patrangers or Lupinrangers at all and has his/her own agenda and grudge against the Ganglers. So maybe ranger #7 can be someone who doesn't care about the Lupin collections at all and has a complete different set of goals within the show. Now the suit color is what I am curious about. I am speculating either orange, gold, violet, silver, white, or black. Or maybe multi-colored like Zyuoh TheWorld.

I think it would be Black AND White. Here's why. The Lupinrangers have their suits with their accent colour AND black. The Patrarangers have their suits with their accent colour AND white. A 7th with both Black and White makes perfect sense.

honestly feel like they got the wrong character idea for Reds I feel like an amature Cop trying to catch a master thief would be much more entertaining (and something Sentai would do) still watching this anyway due to the amount of Persona 5 jokes I can make tbh I don't think I'll probably enjoy Sentai like Dairanger again cause I know Sentai's geared towards a younger audaince(I'd say Kamen Rider but after anyone of Gaim/Ex-Aid/Build alone if anyone tells me Those are meant for kids I gotta call bs and show them that)

Lupinkaiser looks neat, but I haven't warmed up to Patokaiser.

Also not a fan of the solid-colored canopies. I get that they're going for a chunky, cheerful, intentionally toylike aesthetic, but it still seems a bit undercooked.

do you think the mechas will combine I'd love for it too happen but I don't think it's gonna happen

I pretty sure the Lupinranger and Patoranger Mecha can be combined into giant single Robot.

"Two teams that could never combine" - yeah, they're BLATANTLY going to do an enemy mine at some point. Might need another mech to do the combo rather than just Goodstriker though.

The new Sixth Ranger archetype may be a literal double crosser

Lupin-X and Patran-X is his name apparently

X-Emperor and new VS Vehicles

The gun handle stuck on the robot's chest looks weird.

I am really liking the Punch/Counterpunch approach. Pirate team would have been cool too but I am happy with this.

I was already getting toqger vibes from this series, but now we have train Mecha that could easily have been a part of that series. This is....cool? Lol

Looks like the stealth bomber mecha becomes both a shield and a sword. It looks like the crane similarly separates into two components, but I can't quite tell what the non-limb weapon is supposed to be.
