SUPER SENTAI SERIES
Did you hear about this?
Yesterday, all the people at a restaurant in Minaminaga suddenly disappeared.
Which one was it?
Steakhouse Takada.
Huh?!
That's where I wanted to take Umika!
Oh yeah, would you like to go out and eat tomorrow? It's my day off!
Uh...
My treat, of course! The Global Police pay pretty well.
Is that hilarious or what?!
I'm serious! True story.
And then Takashi...
Um, well, I have work tomorrow...
I see.
Well, when's your next day off?
Sakuya! Give it a rest. We gotta go.
Sorry about that. Can we get the check?
- Too hard! - Right!
Owowow...
Thanks for dining with—
Here's my contact info!
- Uh, well... - Sakuya...
Seeya!
I'm not joking.
Save the flirting for when you're out of uniform.
Sorry...
Sakuya!
Listen, you...
Are you serious about her?
I mean...
I just want to get along with cute girls, y'know?
So, she's just one of the many he plays around with.
Disgraceful.
Thanks for coming by!
Thanks muchly!
Seriously!
Why didn't you help me out back there, Kairi?
What's wrong with you two getting to know each other?
Maybe you can pry some police intel out of him.
You're the worst.
Excusez-moi.
So, are you a customer today?
I have my order right here.
Coming right up.
Please, enjoy.
Thank you.
Is this that Twinkle joint?
I'm here to get some tasty food!
P-Please let him go!
That ain't what I'm here for.
Something else is on the menu...
Got it, chef?
Mysterious treasures left by the phantom thief Arsène Lupin, known as the Lupin Collection...
Have been stolen by the Ganglers!
The thieves who fight to recover what they've lost.
The police who fight to protect world peace.
Whose side are you on?!
Thief Sentai Lupinranger VS Police Sentai Patranger
Flash, the bright light's shining
There's a sly smile
In the shadows' silhouette
Search, and hunt them down
If you want to know who we are
Then you'll have to catch me, if you can!
Destiny, here's your warning
Only those who truly know
Are you going to keep stealing
The worth of these pieces
Behind a facade that you call justice?
Can get their hands
(Empty those hands and raise them up!)
On this dazzling and revered Collection!
The Lupins dance through the air
Hold up, Lupin! Run if you can
Gonna chase you up, anywhere you are
They'll chase you up, and take it all back!
To protect the world
So they can reclaim their frozen time...
And ensure its peace
They'll spin the dial
The Lupins are closing in
Hold up, Lupin! Run if you can
Don't expect any goodbyes
They'll chase you up and bid you adieu
They're the determined Patrangers!
They're the dazzling Lupinrangers!
It's a showdown!
We've got you now, Mergout Arita.
Always Being Saved
Are you people...?
The thieves everyone's talking about.
Thief Change!
Red!
0-1-0!
Masquerase!
Thief Change!
Lupinranger~
Lupin Red!
Lupin Blue.
Lupin Yellow!
Thief Sentai...
Lupinranger!
Here's your warning:
We're here...
for your treasure!
His piece of the Collection has the power to expand spaces.
Be careful.
Fine then, I'll just have to clear you pests out!
Not if you can't hit me.
Wasn't aiming at you!
What?!
Blue!
Here I was, enjoying the taste of this restaurant...
But now it looks like I've got a side dish.
The restaurant's taste...?
Wait.
Did you—?!
He ate everyone who was here?!
People who eat good food taste even better!
Now, I guess I'll snack on you two,
and then go grab a palate cleanser!
Look out!
Red!
Run for it!
I guess one got away.
Well, whatever!
If she stays out of the way, I don't need to eat her.
Mergout is on the move now.
Ah, our resident gourmet...
In the last world we went after,
he started eating the local creatures to celebrate our domination, right?
He mentioned how happy he was to have a bottomless appetite now, thanks to his Collection piece.
Maybe he'll once again provide us with some surprising delicacies.
Ow...
The phantom thieves!
I suppose this is Mergout's stomach.
Well then, let's blow our way out of it.
You gotta be kidding me!
I guess this mist is from his digestive fluid.
Which means...
Unbelievable...
You big idiot...
You never help out in the restaurant...
But you save me at a time like this?
I'm serious! True story.
This is how it always is...
I'm...
always being saved...
Umika is so weird.
Why's she always dress like that?
What's wrong with it?
Is there something wrong with dressing how you want?
Come on.
Shiho...!
You drew this, Shihochin?
It's amazing!
I'm thinking of entering it in a contest.
You know I'm rooting for you. As hard as I can!
This is nuts...
And you even get a prize?
Isn't this like, amazing?
Never mind that, Umika. I want to pay.
It's fine! My treat!
We're celebrating your big debut, after all!
This is the least I could do!
Thank you...
Look out!
Shihochin...?
I...
I can't do anything...
Nothing's changed.
Are you sure that's true?
Kogure...
As long as you keep trying,
hope is something that refuses to fade.
That day...
In pursuit of your true desire,
you were willing to become a thief.
The power you've obtained has already transformed you.
I...
Can I save Kairi and Touma?
Mergout Arita.
We can assume he uses the Collection's power to expand his inner dimensions.
Which would mean retrieving his piece of the Collection would likely force the issue...
He'll throw Kairi and the others up!
I'm entrusting you with this.
The VS Vehicles are very valuable, after all.
Let's see, let's see...
First, I need to think of where Mergout would go next...
That's the restaurant we were at!
Steakhouse Takada...
Where have I heard that before...?
Yesterday, all the people at a restaurant in Minaminaga suddenly disappeared.
He ate that place up too!
Then his next target must be...
There.
But can I manage it alone?
And I can't risk screwing up.
What do I do?
I know!
More people vanished from a restaurant?
Yes.
It happened in broad daylight, the same as with Steakhouse Takada.
I'm going to run an analysis to see if any other incidents fit the model.
This is huge!
What?!
Ibu, it's dangerous over there, come back.
Whoa there.
Safe.
Come on, go see your mom.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
You sure this wouldn't be over with by now if you were the one on the outside?
Good question.
Maybe I screwed up...
I mean, this is basically pouring salt on her wound.
It wasn't like you.
Taking a hit for someone else like that...
I guess not.
Well...
Even I get in that kind of mood sometimes, I guess.
Sorry that I'm late.
Uh, no...
It's totally fine! I'm just glad to see you!
Will the restaurant be okay without you?
Uh, yeah...
We had a reservation that canceled at the last minute.
I'm amazed you knew about this place.
Well, I was looking up places for when I wanted to eat something other than Touma's cooking.
I can't believe Sakuya...
He got me worried over something like that?
I have to wonder...
What made her change her mind?
That outfit is really cute!
Thanks.
You look nice out of uniform too.
Really?! Awesome!
You're usually pretty fashionable, huh?
Is it a hobby?
W-Well sorta...
This is that Sonne place, right?
A Gangler?!
Of all the timing...!
Umika, get to safety!
Patrize! Police Change!
Patranger!
Patren #2!
What? The Global Police are here?!
I guess you showing up here is unlucky for both of us!
You've got that right!
What? A Gangler ran into Sakuya?
Gotcha!
Now—
- Sakuya! - Sakuya!
Sir!
Good work. Job's almost done!
Right!
Great, more interruptions!
Police Sentai Patranger!
By the authority of the Global Police,
we're stopping you by force!
You kept our rookie occupied, huh?
Sakuya!
Right!
This is for interrupting my date!
Okay!
1-2-8!
What?!
I'll be taking your Lupin Collection!
Red, Blue!
You managed to get his Collection piece?
I'm so glad I could save you two...
You did great on your own. Thanks muchly!
Give it a rest!
That's...
They're the phantom thieves.
They saved us!
Let's get you clear.
You...
Actually managed to put the cops to use?
Huh?
And after you were so down on the idea!
I mean, what else was I supposed to do?!
You've really done it now, you rotten thieves!
Shut it!
We're about to chew you up and spit you out!
Thief Change!
Yellow!
1-1-6!
Masquerase!
Thief Change!
Lupinranger~
Thought you could eat us, huh?!
Well now you're on the menu!
Let's finish it.
Cyclone!
3-1-9!
Masquerase!
Thief Boost!
Adieu.
Now, my darling little treasure...
Make Mergout feel better.
Now this is nice!
I can eat the whole city now!
He's still not full?
Good Striker, appearing out of nowhere!
Goodie?
We're done for today. Go bother them.
Wait, what?
Being eaten leaves you exhausted.
Go on.
Hey! Good Striker!
Great timing! Let's go!
I actually feel wanted! Feels good!
Alright!
Take Your Positions... Ready?
Booming Through!
Hear The Engines Roar!
Police Combination Time!
Let's reach out for justice!
Ready! Pat Kaiser!
I finally had a date...!
Can't a guy eat a meal in peace?!
He deflected every shot!
I'm gonna twist you into shreds!
I don't think so!
Yeah, that's right!
Biker!
Take Your Positions... Ready?
Booming Through!
Ride Fast And Free!
Alright.
Right arm, swapping out!
Ready! Pat Kaiser Biker!
Like that's gonna beat me!
Okay, time to attack!
Okay!
Looks like police and yo-yos go well together!
Say what?
Now it's payback time!
Pat Kaiser, Lock-Up Strike!
Go, go, go, go!
I wish I could've gotten dessert...!
Mission complete!
Umika...
- Great work! - Come on, Sakuya.
Adieu!
So the other day, I'm hanging out with Takashi...
Here you are, your French set.
Then, all of a sudden, he starts walking like this!
What even is that? Is he human?
And then for two kilometers, he's...
Good afternoon!
Hey, Umika.
Customers.
Don't send them to me!
Thank goodness you're here!
I was worried since you never responded back to me.
Oh, man, I forgot all about him...!
What do I do...?
Wait, you ignored him, after what happened?
And you say I'm rude?
Well, you can figure it out for yourself.
Well...
I dropped my phone...
Thank you for yesterday.
You're quite welcome!
I'm just glad you got away okay.
Sorry about how I had to go into work afterwards.
I'm sorry too.
Huh?
I mean, for getting you caught up in all that.
I'll pay for your lunch today to make up for it.
This is bad...
What is?
Umika is!
It's not even her fault we got attacked...
She's not just cute, she's super nice, too!
This is bad!
It might be true love after all!
Who cares?
Give it a rest...
Seriously.
They can't be...
