SUPER SENTAI SERIES
Extraordinary X-Combination Time!
Good Cool Kaiser VSX!
Now, let's work together...
And get underway!
This is working.
We're going after him!
Good Cool Kaiser! Vehicle Rush Strike!
But I'm Lymon—!
I feel faaantastic!
Adieu!
I'd appreciate it if you avoided fraternizing with the Global Police, when possible.
That whole thing was Goodie's big idea.
And if fraternization is a problem, what about Noël?
He should have just kept to himself in Paris.
Wait, Kogure...
You don't have any clues about a Lupin Collection piece today?
I was merely summoned here...
By Noël.
Huh?
Bonjour.
Let's get down to business. There's something I could use your input on.
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!
A Lupin Collection piece is being auctioned?
It's a secret, members-only auction.
Underground Auction
Of the illegal variety.
Some shadier items...
along with stolen pieces of art are going to be available.
That's...
"Tiny Bubbles."
Where did you hear about this?
The Global Police does seem to have its uses, doesn't it?
What's the plan?
Do we swap it out for a fake?
Non non.
It's an auction, so we simply need the winning bid.
Right...
Kogure?
I see. That's why you asked for me.
Well...
Checkbook
Good luck.
Merci.
Also, Umika...
Would you mind coming along?
What? Me?
Having a young lady at my side will help avoid suspicion.
Auctions are where people compete, and the person with the highest offer
gets to buy the thing, right?
If the members don't know it's a Lupin Collection piece,
would they really bid much for it?
Tiny Bubbles is a piece with a strange allure, you see.
Umika, look closely.
These people are going to be our rivals tonight.
Wow...
They all seem super rich...
Lot #27:
A legendary piece, stolen from the Louvre 100 years ago and lost to this day.
The twilight mermaid statue, "Tiny Bubbles."
We're proud to offer it at our auction.
It was stolen from the Louvre?
Oui.
Let's begin. We'll start at 400 thousand.
400 thousand? 400 thousand?
Alright, we have our first bid.
410 thousand?
Huh...
410 thousand sounds pretty doable.
I suppose it would.
Except that the bids are in dollars, not yen.
Dollars?!
Then in yen that's...
Roughly 40 million.
Although it was just raised to 50 million yen.
F-F-F-Fifty mill...?!
- 1 mill— -No! Nononono!
You almost said way too much!
It's fine. Kogure is the one paying, after all.
1 million.
That's 1 million to the gentleman in front of me.
1 million, 20 thousand!
1 million, 20 thousand dollars.
1.1 million.
1.5 million.
I'm not listening! Not listening!
1.58 million.
Is anyone willing to bid 1.6 million?
2 million.
2 million, 20 thousand.
Will anyone bid 2 million, 20 thousand?
Last call.
Sold to the gentlemen in front of me.
For 2 million dollars.
T-T-Two million dollars?
That's 200 million yen?!
What is this?!
No time to swoon.
Is this...?
I thought as much. A Gangler is involved.
Nutty nuts!
Time for Grist to make off with the loot!
Nutty-nut nuts!
Stealing from these nutty humans is always so easy!
Hold it right there, Mr. Gangler.
Will you hand that treasure over?
What? You must be nuts!
I like to squirrel away my nuts away, safely.
I guess negotiations have fallen through.
In that case, we smash and grab!
No way! He's so fast!
Oh, I'm more than fast!
Boom!
Flick flick flick!
Hold it right there, Gangler!
By the authority of the Global Police, we're stopping you by force!
One of the thieves and Noël!
What are they doing here?
Let's go!
- Yeah. - Right!
Can't end up caught in a place like this.
What is he doing?
Pop! Pop pop pop pop!
Soap bubbles!
Time to squirrel away! Can't see me!
Where'd he go?!
He got away.
We should go, too.
Yeah.
Wait, Noël! What's going on?!
Noël!
We were working with the Japanese police to investigate these underground auctions.
How did he find out about it?
It must have been intel from the thieves.
Or maybe...
I'm sorry, sir.
But your bill.
An invoice?
And an 8% tax fee?!
It pains me to inform you about this,
but it is our policy that the second the gavel falls, the deal is complete.
And all responsibility for the merchandise is transferred to you.
But, the loot was stolen!
Again, I'm sad to inform you...
But if anything happens to the merchandise after the sale,
- we have no responsibility. - That's not—
Fair enough.
But in exchange... I have the rights to the piece now.
And once I have it back,
I won't be giving it back.
So you're saying...
That the Gangler totally nailed you.
Now, I wouldn't make it sound so dire.
But that's the case, isn't it?
This war has only begun.
Here, Umika.
Huh?
Don't you remember?
I told you to pay close attention to the faces of our rivals.
I'd like to draw some sketches of them.
Huh? Why?
Because one of the people at the auction is our culprit.
A Gangler appearing out of nowhere, with such tight security...
There's no way he would have made it in without a guard outside noticing.
I get you.
So he must've been disguised as a bidder.
But... they were wearing masks, remember?
I'm not all that sure about this...
It's okay.
Those masks don't have any sort of identity-masking functionality like ours.
I'll help you, too.
Let's remember them, together.
Okay.
Maybe his eyebrows were bigger...
As for him...
I think he had longer bangs than that.
Oh, you're probably right.
The plan's moving ahead smoother than peanut butter!
I'm stowing cash away like nuts!
I see...
Interesting.
That's one way to use that piece.
Very impressive, Grist.
I suppose that creative uses can compensate for unremarkable functions...
It's not a nutty idea!
Done!
They came out nicely.
Now, au revoir.
Gotta wonder... what's he going to do
with a bunch of pictures drawn from memory?
Noël... are we really going to use these to search?
It can't possibly work.
Don't you worry.
We'll be using the Japanese police's database to run the search.
I'm fairly certain...
Anyone under suspicion of stealing from museums should turn up.
This is an order from an agent of French HQ,
and an undercover officer, understand?
U-Understood...
Bonsoir.
You're the guest from the other day...
I need...
A bit of your help with something.
"We apologize for the disruption the prior day."
"To make up for it, we will be running another auction."
"We will be offering items..."
"even more remarkable than the twilight mermaid, 'Tiny Bubbles'."
"We look forward to your attendance."
You think the Gangler will bother showing up?
Anyone who doesn't, ends up looking the most suspicious.
Is he sure about the people he invited?
I mean, with those sketches...
Who knows?
It'll be interesting to see just how handy
the Global Police can be, though.
Oh.
Looks like the gang's all here.
What's going on here?
I came for an auction!
Are we really going to hold it here?
Who are you two?
Those thieves everyone's talking about.
Sorry about this.
But there will be no auction today.
And I need to ask you all to cooperate.
Pardon me!
Squeezysqueezeysqueeze!
What's the big idea?!
You're the real deal! Next!
Stop it!
You're the real deal, too! Next up!
Hey!
You're the real deal. That just leaves...
Oh, my!
Huh? You're all the real deal...
Of course we are!
What's going on here, X?
Nothing special.
I just know who our culprit is, now.
Oh, nuts!
No way! The guy running the auction was the Gangler?
As I said...
One of the people present had to be the Gangler.
Although there were so many people after the statue that I got sidetracked.
But you knew he was the guy?
Non non.
Just one of our suspects.
Wouldn't have bothered with the portraits, otherwise.
How dare you trick me!
Come, now... You tricked me first.
All we did was trick you back.

Adieu!
I feel fantastiiic!
Freeze.
The police? What are you doing here?
We received word from HQ in France.
You're all under arrest under suspicion of dealing in illicit goods.
Take them in!
Settle down!
Come along peacefully!
Agents of the Global Police, you have our thanks.
And that brings the underground auction case to a close.
Sakuya... are you really that happy about Noël handing this off to us?
I wouldn't even call it that.
It's more like we're cleaning up his mess.
Well, we did catch some bad guys.
Let's say it's all for the best!
I'll be retrieving this piece of the Lupin Collection, then.
Noël...
How much did you spend to get him to run another auction?
About 100 million yen.
O-O-One hundred mill...?!
I can't even...
Our sense of how money works is too different...
You'd make a lovely spouse, Umika.
Stop joking around!
Now sit down! Come on, sit!
Listen to me! A yen saved is a yen earned!
- Don't "merci" him!
- Merci.
You shouldn't just fork over however much he asks for, Kogure!
You sit back down!
