    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 41: "The Door To Another World"

    What? Every chef is an expert with firearms, I assure you... Quick note: Things are going to be super busy for me IRL for the next two or three weeks, and that's before I can even think about the festive period. I may not be able to make all the regular episode posts during December. So if you...

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 40: "Can't Stop Worrying"

    It's Ok, you can pose either side of me even though you didn't do anything... This week: Kairi is acting shady, Touma and Umika could not be more obvious that they were following him, yes we'd all like to forget that episode Touma, woodpeckers attacking your stomach is an extremely specific...

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 39: "I'll Bet On This"

    I've seen 'The Incredibles', I know that capes and jet engine intakes are a bad idea. This week: Probably one of the biggest story developments of the series, as it's revealed that Zamigo's frozen victims aren't killed but captured somewhere, it turns out Noel has never encountered the ice man...

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 38: "The Collection Piece From Outer Space"

    Guess who's finally back?! This week: The ice man returns! Is it suspicious that the Ganglers, phantom thieves and Global Police all receive their intel at the exact same time? Well that Iselob suit is near-pristine so I imagine that will get repainted for another appearance. It's cool that...

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 37: "The Place You Call Home"

    Well this is awkward This week: The Gangler really under-utilizes the potential of his Collection piece, Kairi has no home...but he does have an unwelcome house guest, a tent in a backpack make for better armour than the Patrangers special suits, and surprise Good Cool Striker VSX even though...

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 35: "The Good, The Bad & The Normal"

    Semaru Shocker! Jigoku no gundan... This week: Stopping for a coffee leads to triple trouble for Kogure, proof that nice guys always finish last, Bad Kogure proves that villainy is always ineffective in this show, aww Kogure's such a nice guy and we should totally forget about all those times...
  7. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 34: "The Legendary Gun"

    They say Sentai doesn't do gore anymore, but melting a hole through someone's torso is pretty brutal! This week: The Guard Dog of Hell, Doggie Kruger Cerbero! And yes, same voice actor. More importantly, it's a new toy day so get down to the stores already kids! Are they really going to push...
  8. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 33: "We're The Kid Phantom Thieves"

    *screaming internally* This week: The actor for child Kairi might be a better actor than the guy who usually plays him, the thieves figure out Tsukasa's weakness, the Dial Fighters open normal locks too, and Kogure has some very specific cosplay items.
  9. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 32: "A Challenge To A Duel"

    Coming soon from Premium Bandai... This week (really): The Go-Buster's binoculars must be really fearsome, I'm honestly surprised that Noel didn't issue his challenge by slapping Keiichiro with his glove, having issued the challenge because he believes Keiichiro will not be convinced with words...
  10. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 31: "The Repentant Gangler"

    Two references to 'Beverly Hills Cop' in the same show?! Exactly how many Japanese three year olds are familiar with this movie? This week: How exactly do you create a new identity for a Gangler? This episode would not be possible if Noel had simply told them what he knew about the Collection...

    Look, I had to see it. Now you have to see it. Let us never speak of it again. This week: a clip show! Well everyone's attention was always going to be on the Build finale, wasn't it? You were all dying to see Touma and Sakuya dancing in Lycra again, right? Oh and buy that Crane Trigger...
  13. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 28: "A Battling Birthday"

    Insert Robin Hood reference This week: it's been years since they've done a "ranger's dad shows up and doesn't approve" plot! The MotW has the same ability as Zuoh Shark, I don't really understand the link between magic, a blimp and a bow? Tsukasa continues to be the most savvy of the cops and...
  14. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 27: "Dancing Commands"

    Well hello there, Dragon Dagger. At last you shall be mine! This week: Aerobics class dance routines. In leotards. With middle aged backing dancers. I get that they wanted to counterbalance the misery of the episode of Build that aired right beforehand but this feels like tonal backlash. Oh...
  15. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 26: "Underground Auction"

    He defeated the Riders and the Precure but he couldn't take down the Sentai! This week: It's all about the money, honey! And a statue that looks waaay more elaborate than any other Collection piece. And a pine cone shooting squirrel monster. But seriously, I saw that Bandai financial highlights...
  16. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 25: "I'll Make You Stronger Than Ever"

    Mind the gap This week: We learn that if a combination lock is twice as complicated as predicted you can just use two electronic breakers to do half each and it will work out, Tsukasa continues to be the voice of reason and unofficial team leader, and oh dear god who thought that was an...
  17. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 24: "A Promise To Return Alive"

    Oh ****! This week: Toei's idea of a seedy club is honestly quite cute (do they seriously think they'd give people glass beverage contains?!), Tsukasa can't recognise Kairi behind that tiny mask but she sure can when he's turned away from her in a dark corner of a busy club, just casually...
  18. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 23: "Status Gold"

    Just to really confuse the fans, it's the Denjiman logo on Bioman's techno brace. This week: It's time for food porn, of course the only guy in the cooking class turns out to not be a real student, a busted morpher results in a masterchef cook-off, the first four thief pose, and mecha arm swap...
  19. Toku Prime

    Lupinranger VS Patranger, Episode 21: "Friend Or Foe? On Board Or Not?"

    The infamous Touma Deathstare in full effect! This week: Noel properly introduces himself to both teams, the Gangler is two hippo heads smushed together, it seems as if Noel betrays the Lupinrangers only for it to twist around and seem as if he's actually betraying the Patrangers - what are the...
