Y'know I do share some of your sentiments Gloryxros that the kneejerk reaction to even good filler is a bit much. But there are flaws on the other side to acknowledge as well. It was'nt Build levels of Evolt dragging the riders around per se but still kinda bad.
I do have to say we have one of the stronger/est characters in sentai for a long time and that does deserve to be lauded. And oh lord, the music. But I digress, this was a satisfying enough finale for me. Predictable maybe but enough quirks to string me along like the book.(A hint would have been nice) Build's finale was more satisfying for me sure, but this does its job well and book ends it romantically. |

Well, this was a much better finale than this show deserved. It managed to focus on all the elements I liked (ie: the Pats growing bond with the Lupins, Keiichirou's development, actual emotions going on, SUPER PAT#1 FINALLY!), pull of some very good shots and plot beats, end on a surprising note for a Sentai villain. I was fully prepared to put the show up a point for sticking the landing...
Until the Lupins got freed. Because, apprently, Noel just didn't tell the Patrangers what he was doing for a year. And they got saved by movie related deus ex machina. And now they're going back to fighting because writing a proper reconcilliation between the groups just can't happen before Ryusoulger. Honestly, it's symbolic of a lot of my gripes with the show. The Pats being left out of the loop, the refusal to move past the status quo of the two teams always fighting, Noel's smug dickery. Yeah, this show was bad. Not Ninninger bad, but bad, which is annoying, as there's a lot of promise, and just enough to keep me strung along for a year, but nothing more. Wow, this became far too negative.

The best part about the conflict remaining by the end?
It's literally all because of Noel, since it's solely his wish that wasn't granted. Despite being such a great friend or whatever, he drives a wedge between the two teams and is now literally creating a conflict where there shouldn't be one. What a good friend. (Though, in the final fight scene, Tsukasa vs Touma's fight choreography is goddamn beautiful)

Well, that was fine and all but that ending gave a feel of unachieved matters. They kept gas for V-cinema, right ?

Honestly,While lupins loved ones become a thief is a great surprise but i don't like that.
i don't understand why noel are okay with that ? look like he didn't learn anything from Crucified episode. I can see Keiichiro punch him so hard when he learn about this. |

I wasn't a big fan of the show overall but that was a pretty well done finale. A lot of good, impactful moments that played up the best parts of the show.

I think I have knacks of finishing super sentai series that many people find bad:
Go-Busters Nin-Ningers and now LupinRangers vs Patrangers Those are three that I actually finished watching from start to finish after Gokaiger. I didn't finish Kyoryuger, stopped watching after Kyoryu...gold? The old samurai with weird jumping-dancing morphing sequence. I didn't even watch ToQGer since the overall aesthetics turn me off I watched Zyu-Oh-Ger until The World arrives and...turned me off. I watched Kyuranger and somehow unable to finish it after around the arrival of that kyu-cyan boy. Not that I hate him or anything, just...unable to finish somehow. But LuPat, wow. It somehow entices me to actually watch the series from start to finish. I finally conclude the why: the characters are written consistently within characters. Their developments stay within their characters. Keiichiro still a cop with straight guidance and burning heart, but his focus shifted from being a cop to being a hero of the people Kairi opens his heart and accepts brotherly affections in the end while still pretty much a juvenile Touma is still cool but somehow brings mature warmth to the whole show, complemented with Tsukasa's smart elder sister vibe. Sakuya and Umika really are made for each other. Sakuya's feeling of being a junior fits with Umika's youthful and cheery but pain inside persona. Heck Umika is the most succesful character in the show. She can be cheery and serious without breaking character like so many other superhero time characters. I can tell that if Sakuya and Umika ends up together, Sakuya would totally protect her and Umika would constantly try to warm up their relationships. Ah, LuPat, how I miss you already... |

This show was bad. But I liked it.
The final episode was great, even though it left many questions unanswered. Lupin and the collection didn't really play a big role in the end in the way I thought they would, but that may have been for the better. The ending that most people, including myself, expected: Lupin granting a wish to make everyone happy, thankfully didn’t came true. The ending they went with is much better. Still... I don't know. I will forever think about this show with a positive attitude just because I enjoyed it so much but I can't muster myself to defend it like I did Zyuohger. Because unlike Zyuohger, I do think LuPat was a bad show. But one I liked watching. If I had to say what I liked best about the show - probably the fight scenes. They went the extra mile a lot of times with new camera angles and choreographic, the final episode recapped that perfectly with the fight scene at the end. So yeah, LupinRanger vs. PatRanger - me like. I hope the next season can somehow be better while entertaining me in a similar fashion, but what I've seen so far isn’t good. But I don't expect too much of Sentai for a reason, low expectations help enjoy this series much better. Quote:
Guess I have to think of an appropriate way to send this one off. This season started with promise, LOTS of it, and after toy sales were failing they threw that away in an attempt to recover which was for nothing. The show was mostly ok, for every good thing it had, there's something I grew tired of. However, I'm glad I watched it. It had the same criticisms people had for Zyuohger due to the same writer but I feel Zyuohger's cast were more charming, especially Misao, which is why people are saying they prefer Zyuohger. This finale though? It brought it all back, Keichiro FINALLY got his power up, the teams split up and that shot of Dogranio on his knees before it pans out and we hear a gunshot? Fucking dark and chilling despite the aftermath. Outside of Jackpotstriker, this ending felt incredible, especially as we saw a new team of Phantom Thieves

I can't think of a more fitting series to have opinions this split across the board.

So that was a weird passing of the torch scene and it has now made me very worried of Ryusoul Red.
