Another fun episode.

It's nice to finally get some much-needed characterization on the PatRanger. Although, I do find it a shame that we essentially find out that all of the Pat Members are comic relief.
Tsukasa is an awful juxtaposition to the other 2 members. But I guess someone so perfect should have some kind of flaw.

Once again, I do have to praise the Choreography. The fight scenes are fantastic! It's always amusing how the Lupin / Pat Rangers fight each other and get the lesser enemies in the crossfire of their attacks.

Goody is such an interesting character as well. Though, I do find it awkward how both teams just stand there, as well as the Kaijin, while they wait for Goody to choose a side. Speaking of which, they never seem to interfere with the giant transformation either. Are we repeating the Naria incident? The commander was literally in front of them, as opposed to previous episodes. It was quite simple to at least attempt to shoot at her.

Back to Goody. Does anyone else think he might be Kogure?

Probably not. Goody was locked inside a box when the PatRangers received him in episode 2.

I really like this as an element for an anniversary season.... wait...

[TorchWood]

Why couldn't the MotW deal with lending or work in the legal profession? Instead, he is associated with.... plushies?

Yeah...

I'm not complaining, but someone should tell Toei that 42 is not normally an anniversary year.

5/5 from me. Love this episode. This series still not let me down, but it is too early to conclude and I believe how good the series is there must be an awful episode. But I feel sorry to Patranger when the Good Striker just leave them and go to Lupinranger XD. Maybe I'm a bit different from you guys but I like Pat1gou more and more.

So am I the only one noticing the first few times the Lupinrangers transform they use 0-1-0 but then in episode 3 it’s something different but then they go back to the original in this episode?

0-1-0 isn't a transformation pass code. If you check their hands closely back in episode 1, Blue and Yellow use their different pass code. It's like opening a safe box.

Oh thanks for clearing that up

Another good episode, and this time it's focused on the Patrangers. I like the exchange between Lupin Yellow and Patren3gou, and it makes me how long it will take before the two teams actually decides to work together for real (because we all know it will happen).

Oh and the fight scenes and camera work was good in this episode too.

First we a casino owner who harvests organs from the losers to sell on the black market, a pyromaniac and jewelry thief, an art forger, and now a human trafficker. I wonder what more crimes we'll see them do.
While the Power Rangers Wiki say that they share similarities with Vaglass, so do I see similarities between Ganglar and Crime from J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai too since they're both crime organizations out for world domination.
But unlike Crime so am I not sure Toei executives will let the Ganglars meddle in the drug business.

But Crime (and J.A.K.Q. as a whole) got dumbed down and made more "kid-friendly" which made them focus on defeating J.A.K.Q. instead of committing crimes (though I think they at least did kidnappings, and one of the later monsters was a Nazi Dinosaur that for some reason was allowed in the kid friendly direction they took).
Makes me wonder if they will make a darker and adult remake of J.A.K.Q. just like they did with Amazon.

Sorry for going off-topic here. ^^;

I know this is late and unrelated for most of the people here but does any of you felt that when you first saw Sakuya, it reminds you of Emperor Z from TOQger? I know their face is different but has a bit of resemblance, for me of course. Haha like I thought at first, what Z becomes a Keisatsu?

[Mandalori]

Personally, he reminded me more of Kamen Rider Eternal than Z. To be fair, every Patranger remind me of someone else that played in Toku, the others two being cops from Drive and from Wizard.

[midorininger]

Sakuya reminds more of Jin Misato tbh ... likely the hair ...

i liked that Tsukasa has a goofy side to her strict seriousness.

QUESTION:
does good striker have a different form depending on which kaiser its forming? if not, is it then possible to mix and match with the teams?

also in this episode, before the fighting began i noticed the heel on Lupinreds boot when he was sitting atop the building, and LupinYellow has a spiked heel i believe. however, once they begin fighting they are wearing flats. i can see making this switch with Lupinyellow, sure i get it. but why even have Red have the heel? why not leave as a flat to begin with?

[takenoko]

Never noticed that before. But it's the rule of cool.
