LupinRanger VS PatRanger Episode 26- "Make It The Strongest!" Discussion
 

To overcome the most dangerous Gangler to date, both the Ranger teams will have to set aside their differences & work together.

Love the way that Goodie gave Keiichiro a time out and put Tsukasa instead on the Red pilot seat.

Goodie giving Keeichiro a time out like you called it, made me laugh my ass off XD

It was amazing ! HAHAH !

Loved Goodie just straight dropping Keiichiro. Lovely.
Seems Tsukasa's level head makes her a more apt leader. She even proposed to help Lupin Red.

Here's a question. Has Touma connected with any of the Patrangers? Umika has had episodes with all 3, while Kairi has with Tsukasa and Keiichiro (Kinda). Has Touma really done much with any of them?

Only with X, but not with the main Pat trio so far, but I assume they will be making an effort with that as the season continues, at least I hope they do.

Pat 3 is honestly the better leader for the Pat trio, she has proven that over and over during the show I feel, and being the red is not an automatic leader role.
And the Lupin rangers do not really have a leader overall, though Kairi is their powerhouse just like Keiichiro.

It would be fun if Pat 3 ends up being the leader for the full team when they fully unite, she is clearly the most calm and collected ranger this season.

Wonder when Tsukasa will learn of Kairi being LupinRed?

Count me among the crowd that loved Goodie demoting Keiichiro to shoe duty.

I have to give the show props for actually using that combined mech mode and making it look halfway decent.

The show kinda forgets that Touma is even there most of the time.

VSX has no goddamn right to look that cool, CGI or not. Also very curious about Zamigo's line about Lymon's piece not working on him, does Zamigo have an extra piece that undoes collection effects? That'd be interesting if he forces the Rangers out of their transformations with it.

Oh, and Tsukasa is the MVP this show

I think it's because Zamigo can freeze enemies solid and shatter them. If it included freezing and shattering Lymon's safe, then he probably wouldn't be able to recover.

Then again, we've only seen one piece (The ice gun), so he might have something else they were referring to.

Seriously, why isn't Tsukasa the leader of the Patrangers instead of Mr "ONORE KAITO" Keiichiro. She's smart, level headed and knows when to join the Lupinrangers when things get too much for them, plus deep down, she knows the thieves aren't all that bad and have a reason for collecting the pieces.

That's easy. Rivalries sells toys to kids by having them pick sides and showing support.

In show reasoning is most likely a culture thing with the police. I know nothing about Japanese police standards and customs so I could be wrong.

Well K-man isn't the leader,he's just the red. Hell, Tsukasa's actions imply she's the leader of the trio when Hilltop's not around

Exactly, they have not flat out said that Pat 1 is the leader of the Patorangers, he is just the red, both 1 and 3 are senior members of the team and likely have the same rank under Hilltop who is their commander, with 2 being the rookie.

Same applies to the Lupins, they have no set leader, they are just working/taking advantage of Kogure.
And 1 will usually listen to 3 whenever she says something so it is clear he knows she is usually making the right call.

What is true for both sides, and for most sentai seasons, the red is usually the strongest member even if they are not in command.

Kinda funny how Raimon is a retool of Garatt and both their mecha fights ended up being mostly cgi.

I honestly think that Lymon will be the new boss. Lymon is really strong but still lose in the end I wonder how strong the new boss going to be. Or probably there will be no new boss and Dogranio will still be the boss until the end. When Lymon defeated, Dogranio says he will reconsider things, he probably going to make a plan or something.

Anyway the VSX is super cool and the fight is also awesome. I love that instead of placing everyone in one room like the usual megazord, VSX split them into three rooms.

There is one minor thing that's bothering me. I wonder why Kairi get into his room from the bathroom? :lolol

Expecting Dogranio to put an addition to the rules for becoming boss, requiring them to also defeat the LuPats.

That or he hires a group to specifically kill them.

Dogranio's actually has very dangerous powers and he actually can kills Lupinrangers and Patrangers at same time if he wants....

Yeah those saw blades are no joke, and they look to be his primary power not any of his collection items as his safes did not glow when using them, he simply pointed at them with his cane and they shot so fast that they where not visible.

His power reminds me of Byakuya Kuchiki from Bleach, except with saw blades.

I think dogranio isn't gonna be anymore active than he already is but I think he's gonna be viewing things differently. I definitely sense a raise in the stakes in the next coming up episodes.

MAN, LuPatRanger is on a roll! This was a great Episode, and one thing I think this Episode needs more praise for is the frickin fight choreography! I know it's usually good, but WOW....! The scene where Touma gets caught up by Lymon, so he tosses his DialFighter to Umika to continue the attempt at his safe! And the triple kick with LupinRed, Lupin X & Patren 1 was cool! And then there's the action with Good Cool Kaiser VSX, which I HATE the design for, but they did it justice with the action it got!
