SUPER SENTAI SERIES
The newly debuted phantom thief, Lupin X,
also turned out to be Patren X of the Global Police.
This man of mystery who is both a phantom thief and a police officer: Takao Noël.
Whose side is he actually on?
I've been waiting...
My dear thieves.
Lupin X...
Huh?
Isn't he Patren X?
Doesn't matter which he is.
Aw, I missed you, Noël!
It's been quite a while, Good Striker!
Yeah!
And...
Kairi.
Touma.
Umika.
Word of your glorious exploits has made it all the way to France.
Consider this my gift to you.
A token of my affection.
Here.
These are...
The Collection pieces you took off that monkey!
Oui.
Like I said in my warning: next time I'd be bearing presents.
Alright, what's your game?
You know who we are...
And were arrested by the cops, but then you were working with them.
At times, I am an enigmatic gentleman thief...
And other times, a proud police officer!
But the truth of the matter is:
I am Takao Noël.
And I'm on your side.
Isn't that right...
Kogure?
It has been quite some time, Noël.
He's here!
It's okay!
Don't worry. I'm right here with you.
The Global Police using VS Changers
was thanks to you, it seems.
Huh?
He's an engineer who can modify the Collection.
Much like myself, he serves the Lupin family.
Huh?!
This guy...
His name was "Patren X", right?
Oh, I thought it was "Lupin X".
It's Patren X!
I'm pretty sure he said Lupin X!
- Patren! - Lupin!
Shut your traps!
"X" will suffice.
Regarding this X... Who do you suppose he is?
Should I look into it?
Leave him be for now.
It might lead to something interesting.
More importantly...
What's going on with our young aspirants for my spot?
I believe Gabatt is next...
And will soon make a move on the plan he's been setting up.
Brusha brusha, brusha brusha brusha...
There, that oughta do it for around here.
Now I just need to cover one more spot and...
So... you made all of these, Noël?
No.
The items you've been using have been passed down through the Lupin family for generations.
These are the ones I made.
I found out that the GSPO had gotten a hold of some of the Collection...
So I infiltrated their ranks, and put them to use.
"Put them to use?"
Not the other way around?
Because they've been putting them to use!
I'm sorry about that.
That was a major mistake on my part.
They were sent to the Tactical Unit without my knowledge.
Seriously! We went through some real trouble.
That's one big mistake.
Well, people also suspected that I was connected to the Ganglers...
You remember Crane & Drill?
That was because of you, too?!
Sorry! Seriously!
Anyway, that's why I'm here now.
The GSPO didn't have any other pieces of the Collection, as well.
I see.
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.
Music!
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!
Friend Or Foe? On Board Or Not?
Bonjour.
Good morning.
You all look rather serious.
A bit like... yes...
Like I'm surrounded by Noh masks.
Noh masks?
Everyone, stay calm. Let's handle this peacefully.
I'm going to get to the point.
We think...
That you're a spy for the thieves.
Why's that?
You understand how dangerous the Collection is, don't you?
If you do, why give some of it to the thieves?
There was a chance they wouldn't give it back.
And the piece you took from the Gangler yesterday...
Where is it now?
If you're infiltrating the phantom thieves,
doesn't that mean you know their identities?
I'm sorry,
but I can't answer any of those questions.
Why not?
That's confidential.
I have a different mission and am part of a separate chain of command than you all.
That's true, Noël is an Undercover Officer who reports directly to HQ...
However, I can tell you one thing.
I want the Collection to be put to use in a way that will help humanity.
Much like how I turned some pieces into equipment to fight Ganglers.
Alright, Noël. Let's leave it at that for now.
Pressing the issue any further won't help.
Yessir.
Still... we risk our lives in the field.
If there's someone we can't trust when we need to present a united front...
There's been a Gangler sighting over at Enosue Dam!
Let's go.
Who's this?
Y'ello?
Bonjour! It's me, Kairi.
Noël?
This time, my gift is a tip.
There's apparently a Gangler over at Enosue Dam.
Keiichiro and his friends are already on the way.
So, what do you think?
Are you on board?
Or not?
Brusha brusha brusha...
Oh, brusha brusha...
Once my cavitirites make enough progress,
the dam will collapse, and the humans will be brushed away with the water!
And then this whole world will be mine!
So that's your scheme?
What?!
The Global Police!
That's not going to happen, Gangler!
Police Change!
#1!
Patrize! Police Change!
Patranger!
Patren #1!
Patren #2!
Patren #3!
Police Sentai...
Patranger!
By the authority of the Global Police,
we're stopping you by force!
Hey look, the Gangler's actually here!
I guess Noël's tip was right.
Putting aside whether we trust him,
it at least seems like he'll be handy.
I guess we're on board, then.
Red!
0-1-0! Masquerase!
Thief Change!
Lupinranger~
Lupin Red!
Lupin Blue.
Lupin Yellow!
Thief Sentai...
Lupinranger!
Bruwha?!
Here's your warning:
We're here for your treasure!
Now the phantom thieves too?!
Pordermen!
Phantom thieves!
How did you find out about this?!
Good question.
And it's a secret!
Ow!
I powered up my defense with my Collection piece.
No matter where you hit him, he can just take it!
As long as I have this Collection piece,
the mighty Gabatt is invincible!
Huh?!
Your Lupin Collection piece is ours now.
No brushing way!
I mean... you were just standing still, dude.
They don't come any dumber.
No more abs of steel for you!
We need to hit him too!
Right!
Good Striker, appearing out of nowhere!
We need your help!
Would it kill you guys to consider how I'm feeling?
Save it for later.
Good Striker!
Ready to attack!
#1! #2! #3!
For The Common Good!
One-Shot Strike!
I'm a brush out...!
Keiichiro!
Adieu!
Hold it! You're not escaping, thieves!
Huh?
Where'd Gabatt's safe go?
Do I really have to...?
Hello there, Lupinrangers. How'd it go?
Pretty good!
I see. Well, that's good to hear.
Noël?
Then he leaked the intel to the thieves...!
Now, then.
It's time you pay for the tip I gave you.
What do you mean?
Thief Change.
X-nize!
Thief X-Change!
Lupin X!
The solitary, sterling phantom thief...
Lupin X!
Impressive. Nice defense.
What are you pulling here?
I thought you were on our side!
Until a few moments ago.
But now, I'm a thief who steals from other thieves.
So you have us deal with the Gangler,
and then you rip us off, is that it?
Sadly, you realized too late.
Not exactly.
Because you haven't taken it yet!
What's going on here?
Very good.
But I'm afraid I can't let you all win this one.
I am an officer of the Global Police, after all.
Police Change.
Police X-Change!
Patren X!
The proudly glittering police officer...
Patren X!
Police!
I have to recover Lupin Collection pieces.
Unlike a certain someone...
You play dirty, for a cop.
Terribly sorry.
But it's for the sake of a peaceful future.
Amazing...
Back to brush!
Stupid Gauche! Why'd she wait so long?
I guess I'll just have to cover this whole area in my cavitirites now!
Oh, man, I forgot about him!
Oh, my. You all are here, too?
Well...
Tsukasa. Sakuya.
Why don't we fight together?
Understood.
Sure!
X-Train Gold.
All Clear In Front. Signal Clear.
Ready To Roll Out!
All Aboard!
X-X-X!
Thunder!
Fire!
Take Your Positions... Ready?
Booming Through!
As Fast As Lightning! F-F-Fire!
Time to brush—
What the brush?!
Good.
We nailed him, Detective Tsukasa!
C'est bien.
Go get 'em, Noël!
Take Your Positions... Ready?
Booming Through!
Hear The Engines Roar!
Keiichiro?
Are you sure?
Do you want to fight with someone like me, who you can't trust?
I'll brush you up!
You'll be fodder for my cavitirites!
I don't think so!
What?! Impossible!
Let's go, Good Striker!
I was waiting for my turn!
Good Striker!
Take Your Positions... Ready?
Booming Through!
One Shot To Victory!
Police Combination Time!
Let's reach out for justice!
Ready! Pat Kaiser Trains!
Try and keep up, now.
I'm gonna brush you off—
Ow, right in the brushbasket!
Gotcha!
Dang robots...
I'm gonna brush you into scrap!
Let's end it!
Pat Kaiser! Spark-Up Strike!
They're at it again...
And I don't think I can brush this one off!
Mission complete!
That was a pretty sweet fight!
You believe me, then?
But!
I'm going to do things my own way.
I understand that.
But I want to believe what you said
when you said you were going to fight for the sake of peace.
Merci.
I'll believe you too, Officer Noël!
Let's fight together!
Right, Detective Tsukasa?
I guess we have to.
For now, at least.
Looks like things have settled down.
What a relief!
Wh-Whoa there! Come on, sir, let's all get along!
Don't be so scary!
- Come on you two! - We're all friends here now!
Man, that seriously hurt.
Noël must not know how to hold back.
But that's why he was able to trick the cops.
To be honest, Keiichiro and the team have suspicions about me.
Well, duh. Even we do.
Well, would you be willing to set that aside and help me?
With what?
I will fight the three of you.
And we'll show them the sight of me defeating you all.
That way,
they'll be certain I can't be on your side.
Won't they?
So, what do you think?
Are you on board?
Or not?
True enough.
Is it a good idea for us to trust him, though?
For now, we can be glad there's less risk of any Collection pieces getting destroyed.
We won't trust him. We'll use him.
That's the bare minimum of what we need to be ready for.
Good work, Noël.
First, though...
Why don't we chat a bit?
NExT EPISode
Here's your preview!
I thought I'd be your Cupid.
Noël is rooting for Sakuya's romance.
But then...!
Umika was caught?!
Hurry, Sakuya! To save the one you love!
Love Comes Naturally With Life
Next time:
Yes! Fall in love!
