#1!
Patren #1, Asaka Keiichiro.
#2!
Patren #2, Hikawa Sakuya.
#3!
Patren #3, Myoujin Tsukasa.
You rotten Ganglers! Take this!
Ow!
CUT!
That's no good!
You've gotta make it look good!
Sorry, director!
You've gotta do it like this!
Nice and sharp!
Tokai Film Studio
Sharp, alright?! Real sharp!
It feels like they're expecting too much of our performance on film.
There's not much we can do. Orders came from Commissioner Hilltop.
A movie about us?
But why?
The Lupinrangers are always a hot topic with the public.
Think of how we look with the thieves getting all the attention.
The idea is to make a PR push for the Tactical Unit.
Sir, I don't see how that means we should—
- The director made a special request
saying that getting the actual team would be the best possible casting!
He's not thinking this through.
Keiichiro can't possibly act.
Exactly.
Actually, wait, Tsukasa...
Are you saying you can act?
We should do it!
We should make the coolest movie and make those phantom thieves look lame!
Would that mean you're up for it?
Yes, sir!
We'll do our best!
I guess this is just part of the job, then.
That's right! Let's work hard.
What's got you so fired up for this?
I mean, it's a chance to show everyone how cool our team is!
If we become popular...
We'll get girls!
Did you join the Tactical Unit just to get girls?
Let's start rolling!
Okay.
We're rolling...
This is our target this time.
According to Kogure, the Tokai Film Studio
has had a string of strange injuries.
And this piece of the Collection has something to do with that?
Seems so.
Nice!
If we go to a studio, we might get to meet some celebrities!
I will go. To the enemy hideout. Alone.
You can't!
It's too dangerous to go alone!
He's right!
We should go with you.
But...
I can't drag. You two into. This.
Detective Keiichiro!
I thought we were a team?!
CUT!
No good, not at all!
I'm not sure...
You're just... lacking something! Like...
Sex appeal, maybe?
What the—?!
They're real...
It's gone.
Sakuya...
I turned into a giiiiiirl!
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!
The Show Must Go On
What the? The Global Police...
Oh man... do the cops know too?
Then the Gangler must be here.
I just hope they didn't beat it yet.
Oh, man, we better hurry!
I don't understand how Sakuya could turn into a woman like that.
A Gangler probably did it.
But... why would it even do that?
Whatever the reason, we should halt production and investigate.
Nope!
The show must go on.
Things are getting interesting.
Interesting?!
We're dealing with a Gangler!
You think I'd be in showbiz if I was afraid of things like that?!
He's right!
We should keep filming the movie!
- He's all decked out! - He's all decked out!
I'm fine with continuing as it is!
Don't worry!
No...
Please, don't wo-rry~!
That's a bit of of a tall order...
Perfect!
Now we've got some sex appeal.
Let's start filming.
Certainly!
Is he serious?
Hey.
Okay, let's start rolling!
Alright!
They're shooting something!
It has to wait. We've got other priorities right now.
You can't! There's no way you can!
It's too dangerous to go alone!
He...
She's right.
We should go with you.
B-But...
I can't drag. You two into. This.
Detective Keiichiro!
I thought we were a team...
That is hilarious!
Oh, make it stop—
Pipe down!
The phantom thieves!
Red!
0-1-0! Masquerase!
Thief Change!
Lupinranger~
Hold it!
#1! #2! #3!
Police Change!
Nice! Very nice!
Now the Lupinrangers are here too!
What are you doing?!
Everyone, please get clear!
Patrize!
Police Change!
Patranger!
M-My chest...
It feels so tight!
If the thieves are here...
Then there must be a Gangler around!
How right you are!
I, Pitchcock, will make this game even more entertaining!
Presto-change-o!
They're real!
They're gone!
It's gone!
It's real...
What the fudge?!
Their genders changed?
For real?
Change us back! Now!
Whoops!
What was that?
Did his Collection piece do that?
For real...?
Talk about lame!
You all seem better suited to a farcical comedy
than any kind of cool action movie!
Now then, farewell!
Farewell! Oh, farewell!
W-Wait...
Get back here, you freak!
I insist that the production continues!
Huh?
Very nice!
Alright, let's do this!
Hold on, director.
Stop it!
Director! Director!
It's fine! Just keep rolling!
- Very good! - Do not film this!
A movie?
Apparently it will be propaganda film...
Extolling your greatness, and demonstrating how fearsome us Ganglers are.
Pitchcock might have come up with something good this time.
It's asinine.
Sounds good to me.
I'm looking forward to the final cut.
Sakuya...
You two look great!
You can't be serious about still filming now.
Sorry, sir!
But... I want to make this movie happen.
Even you must understand the kind of situation we're in right now.
Yes, ma'am.
Like, I really get it...
Then why are you so invested in this movie?
Because I want everyone to know...
How great you two are.
How great we are?
Right!
When I was a cadet, I really looked up to you two...
You were my heroes.
I swore I would be like you some day.
But my performance was... on the lower side, let's say.
It felt like my dreams were going to be crushed by reality...
I can't...
I can't do this...
You really think so?
Those tears...
Are proof that you haven't given up yet.
We can only accomplish our duty...
after shedding those tears of frustration.
Right!
I took your words to heart, and it helped me get through all that harsh training.
It's because I look up to you two so much
that I was able to make it onto the Tactical Unit.
I didn't know...
Did I really say that?
So it's not that you joined up just to get girls...
After all.
No, that's part of it too!
...It is?
You didn't have to rebuke that one quite so hard.
The script's been rewritten!
With the three of you looking different now...
We'll have to re-shoot everything from the beginning!
Right! We'll do our best!
Let's roll!
Okay!
Time for a fresh start.
I'm looking forward to it!
That director is pretty clearly suspicious.
Yeah.
Even if he loves movies,
I can't imagine anyone would want to keep shooting after all this.
We'll have to get him to reveal himself.
This is...!
Start rolling! Ready...
Action!
The Global Special Police Organization
deals with inter-dimensional organized criminals known as Ganglers via their Tactical Unit.
They are known as the Police Sentai...
Patranger... Wuh?
#1!
Patren #1, Asaka Keiichiro...
Wait, no, Keiko!
Why?
#2!
Patren #2, Hikawa Sakuya...
No, Sakimi!
#3!
Patren #3, Myoujin Tsukasa.
That name works either way...
That's not a prop!
Ganglers!
Everyone, please get to safety!
The staff too?
This is bad... everyone's in on it.
#1!
#2!
#3!
Patrize!
Police Change!
Patranger!
There we go.
How's that?
Now you guys get it!
Nice!
More! Give me more, come on!
There's no doubt about it.
He's Pitchcock.
Good!
You seem to be having fun, Gangler.
Reveal yourself!
What? Me, a Gangler?!
No normal human would take to a life-threatening situation...
And want to continue to filming a movie.
You're wrong!
Pitchcock...
Is him!
Oh my...
You figured it out, huh?
I am this film's secret mastermind...
The Ganglers' blockbuster producer, Pitchcock!
Sakuya... how did you know?
Woman's intuition!
No way...
Is he even allowed to say that?
Man, we had the wrong guy.
Hey Pitchcock...
Here's your warning:
We're here for your treasure!
We'll eliminate the Gangler,
return to our original forms,
and arrest the thieves!
Get 'em!
There you go!
Whoops!
Oh, what fun!
This guy's a bad match-up for us...
In that case, why don't you sit and enjoy the show?
This is... I can't make them slip if they're in the air!
Whoa-oh-oh!
1-0-8!
H-Huh?
Nooo!
We'll be taking your piece of the Lupin Collection.
Then take this! Presto-change-o!
They're back!
They're gone!
We're back to normal!
Huh? Oh, I messed up!
So, you thought you could play games with us?!
And... action.
CUT!
Huh? Scene's over?
Alright!
By the authority of the Global Police,
we're stopping you by force!
Biker! Patrize!
Police Boost!
Biker Suppression Shot!
Gauche.
See if you can breathe some life back into this production.
Understood.
H-He's actually looking forward to it...?
Oh me, oh my!
Now this is my idea of a plot twist!
Good Striker, appearing out of nowhere!
- Goodie!
Today I'm feeling like...
- Yoink!
Alright, let's do this.
Huh? What, no one cares about how I feel?
Go!
R-R-Red! B-B-Blue! Y-Y-Yellow!
Good Striker! Get Set!
Go!
G-G-Good!
Thief Combination Time!
Let's steal victory!
Ready! Lupin Kaiser!
I believe it's time for the climax!
Then we'll take him on with a sword, too.
Go!
S-S-Scissors!
Blade! Scissors!
Left arm, swapping out!
Grabbing the sword!
Ready! Lupin Kaiser Knight!
Impressive!
In that case, presto-change-o!
Hammer!
Huh?
That actually looks kinda cool.
Weapons have genders...?
Eek!
I didn't expect this!
A shocking twist in the last three minutes!
Nah, we're not gonna need a full three.
And, go!
Ready and...!
Time to end it.
Good Striker Rapid Fire:
Around and 'Round Until You're Pounded!
Time to hope for a last second comeback!
I'll see you all for the sequel!
Farewell! Farewell! And farewell!
Forevermore...
Adieu.
And that's adieu from me, too!
That was quite a mess we got caught up in.
I'm just glad we're back to normal.
Alright!
Time to resume production!
Right!
I'm counting on you.
Come on, let's go!
We're still doing this?
No more, please...
Come on, you two!
Let's go!
Somebody help!
Augh!
There's been an incident! Let's head to the scene right away!
So...
Wait!
This is the finished product, huh?
Is there something wrong?
Wow... Fantastic...
This is our. Case.
This is too embarrassing to watch.
No way...
What a blunder.
A bomb?!
I look pretty good.
I will arrest. Them.
- Are you insane?! -What?!
That's far enough, Gangler!
So cool!
We will save. The children.
Now I'm bound to get girls!
We. The Global Police. Must protect them.
Whoa...
- Keiichiro, don't go! - Sir—!
NExT EPISode
Here's your preview!
A young boy stumbles upon a Collection piece.
And Touma pursues him.
But...!
Sympathy? From you? That's rare.
What is this young boy's wish?
Run!

A fairy tale-like story isn't so bad, once in a while.
