SUPER SENTAI SERIES
Yo, old man Dogranio.
We didn't see you around, so we let ourselves in.
Hey there, Lymon.
Giwi.
Ushibarock.
Well, here's a group I haven't seen in a while.
I hear the Lymon Gang has been taking their sweet time over in the human realm.
Move! That's Boss Dogranio's seat!
Whoa there! Simmer down, Destra.
What?!
I mean, it's gonna be mine soon enough.
So what if I sit in it a little early?
Or do you got some kinda problem with me in particular?
Not at all.
I'm looking forward to what you've got in store.
C'est bon.
The skin is nice and crispy, but the inside is so fluffy.
Yet another sublime lunch.
You don't need to flatter me with every bite. Just shut up and eat.
Touma doesn't believe a thing Noël ever says, huh?
That settles it.
I think you're the perfect man for the job, Touma.
What job?
This hasn't been in the news yet,
but there's been a string of kidnappings, and the victims are all cooking school teachers.
The Global Police suspects Gangler involvement.
Which is why Keiichiro and his team went undercover as teachers,
in an attempt to lure the culprit out, but...
Nothing happened.
I suppose it was obvious they were amateurs.
So...
You want an actual pro chef to act as bait, now?
That means getting kidnapped by a Gangler. Isn't that kinda dangerous?
Well, he wouldn't be going alone. I'd be acting as your assistant.
How about it, Touma?
Alright.
But on one condition...
I keep any Collection pieces we find. Take it or leave it.
Oui.
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!
Chuou Institute of Cooking and Nutrition
Status Gold
Good sounds, and good smells. Cooking is something to enjoy with all five senses.
Now...
We baste it with its juices in the pan.
This is what's known as arroser.
Now that we've gotten a good sear, we finish cooking it in the oven.
We want this vegetable hash to have a nice color, so we quick sauté them over strong heat.
Then we add the eggplant, drain the oil,
and add it to the tomato fondue.
How's it taste?
Not really sure...
Its aroma isn't strong enough, so let's add a bit of this.
It's thyme.
What a huge difference! It's delicious!
You make a wonderful teacher, Touma.
I want to be convincing as bait, after all.
Is that really it, I wonder?
Sir!
What is it?
Your cooking was awesome!
Which is why...
You're coming with me, Ushibarock!
That Gangler didn't waste any time.
Let's get in there.
Looks like it went well.
Okay...
Let's search around his hideout.
Yeah.
Here's hoping the teacher from today manages to pass.
I'm gonna be getting busy, soon.
Gotta find a new cook to push around, y'know?
You guys get me, don't you?
I see. So that's his game.
Get ready.
Blue! 2-6-0!
X-nize!
Here's your warning:
We're here to take your treasure.
Are you two...?
The thieves everyone's talking about.
Argh! Where'd you come from?!
Alright, you guys deliver the stuff!
Moo!
Have a taste of what my treasure can do!
It's hot! His collection must be able to excite molecular structure!
So he's got a microwave?
Bingo!
Makes one heck of a weapon, and it's pretty handy in the kitchen!
What's up, Ushibarock?
Lymon! Giwi!
There's more...?
A Status Gold?
This is bad.
Looks like you're having fun...
Let me get in on this!
1-1-0!
It's not opening?
What's the matter?
Tough luck, pal!
Oh, no!
Guess they got away.
It seems that the VS Vehicles can't open a Status Gold's safe.
Mine can't even open a regular safe, in this state.
More than that...
You can't transform now.
Good Striker.
Could you go call Kairi and Umika?
I'm afraid these foes are a bit too much for me to handle alone.
Okay, Noël! Leave it to me!
Ding ding ding ding!
This is an update for all our guests.
In five minutes, you're going to be facing me, Ushibarock, in a cooking contest.
What...?
If you beat me, you win the honor of working in this hideout as my personal chef for life!
Better brace yourself! Dong dong dong dong...
Touma.
You should go to the contest.
What are you going to do?
I'll use the time to fix your VS Vehicle.
I need this to get what I'm after.
I can't trust it to some stranger.
A stranger, eh?
That's right.
Fair enough.
But...
I don't think of you as a stranger.
Huh?
Remember back in the cooking class?
You said you didn't hold yourself back, to make convincing bait.
But...
Back there, you were taking cooking very seriously.
You couldn't do anything else.
You looked like a professional chef.
It's the same for me.
I may be jumping back and forth between being an officer and a thief right now...
But my profession is maintaining the Collection.
And I can't just let a piece that's damaged stay that way.
Can you at least trust me when I say that?
I should've never teamed up with you.
You can use whatever ingredients you want,
And whoever comes up with something that tastes better, wins!
We'll be your judges.
You gotta beat me...
Or you're dead meat.
So, give it your best shot.
Understood.
He was pretty calm, compared to the others.
Apparently, his assistant passed out from fear.
Having to do his best, alone...
I feel sorry for him.
Alright, let's get started!
Ready...
Moo!

COOKING BATTLE
Kairi! Umika! There you guys are!
Goodie?
Did something happen?
Yeah! Something bad, actually!
First, the cabbage...
Ushibarock the Blow
Moomoomoomoomoomoomoomoo!
Mooooo Moomoomoomoomoomoo!
Then take the beef and...
Mooomoomoomoomoomoomoomoo!
Moomoomoo!
You looked like a professional chef.
It's the same for me.
I may be jumping back and forth between being an officer and a thief right now...
But my profession is maintaining the Collection.
A professional, huh?
Done!
It's ready.
Now, Lymon...
Let's start with mine.
Looks good to me!
- Time to eat! - Let's dig in!
Oh man, that's good!
You have a good grasp of what we like, for sure.
Don't I though?!
Looks like I won this contest in one mooooove!
I'm not sure about that.
You sound confident enough.
But the others all talked big before losing big, y'know.
I bet it's the same for you...
Wh-What's wrong?!
Lymon? Giwi?!
You rat! You poisoned them, didn't you?!
SO GOOOOOD!
Huh?
I had no idea human cooking could be so good!
You gotta be kidding me, Lymon!
Ushibarock.
You did a great job finding this chef.
From now on, this guy's in charge of cooking.
N-No way...!
Never!
Huh?
The whole reason I learned to cook was for you, Lymon!
Anybody who can cook better than me...
Is dead!
Moo! Ow ow ow!
Here you are, chef!
You're that assistant!
Took you long enough.
The contest is already over.
How'd it turn out?
I won.
I am a professional chef, after all.
Thief Change.
X-nize!
Blue! 2-6-0!
Masquerase! Thief Change! Thief X-Change!
Lupinranger~ Lupin X!
You two were those thieves?!
Blue! X!
I think we made it in time.
Yeah.
We were only getting started, actually.
Lupin Red!
Lupin Blue.
Lupin Yellow!
Lupin X!
Thief Sentai...
Lupinranger!
Here's your warning:
We're here for your treasure.
Moo! You're all dead!
- My, oh my. - Guess it's time for some post-meal exercise.
Red!
Man, these guys are really strong!
Of course! Who do you think I am?!
I'm the next boss of the Ganglers! I'm Lymon, dammit!
Never heard of you. And it doesn't matter who you are.
We're gonna steal your treasure, and beat you.
Don't make me laugh.
Now, take this!
So much for all the big talk...
Scissors!
They are pretty tough, though.
Police Change!
Police X-Change!
Patren X!
Blue, go for it!
Don't you dare...
7-1-5!
Hey! What're you doing?!
Taking your Lupin Collection piece.
You keep pushing my buttons, Lupin Blue!
You're gonna pay!
What happened to the other two?
Sorry. They got away.
That's fine, for now! Let's focus on this big lug.
Right.
Thief Change.
Thief X-Change!
Lupin X!
Shall we finish this? Good Striker!
I got you!
Lupin Red, let's do it!
Alright.
Good Striker!
Make a game!
Thief!
I'm not gonna lose!
X-Time! Countdown...
Seizing Strike!

Superior X!
1...
0!
Seizing X-Strike!
Got to make sure our promising successor candidates get all the help they need, right?
Lupin Blue...
I am making sure that you go down!
What'd you do to tick him off?
He's being a sore loser.
Oh Blue, Yellow...
Could you fire these for me?
Fire! Thunder!
Get Set!
Ready... Go!
As Fast As Lightning! F-F-Fire!
X-Train Silver.

X-Emperor Slash!
Ready! Lupin Kaiser!
Let's do it, X.
Oui. Let's.
How's that?
Don't mess with us.
In that case, no more bull!
Moo!
What the heck?! He's super strong!
What now?!
Why not use that strength against him?
Ushibarock Toss!
Police X-Combination Time!
Patren X!
X-X-X!
X-Emperor Gunner!
Payback time!
X-Emperor...
Gunner Strike!
I loved those horns...!
Lupin Kaiser, pass!
Got 'em!
What?!
Thief X-Combination Time!
I'll add the finishing touch.
X-Emperor...
Slash Strike!
Lymon—!
Forevermore...
Adieu!
You solved that case already?!
By working with the phantom thieves?
When did you...?
Is there a problem?
No.
What's more important is giving us details about the two Ganglers who escaped.
We need to be on the lookout for them as well.
Oui. Of course.
No way...
So we can't open gold safes?
Even Noël doesn't seem to know how, at the moment.
What?
Touma... you trust him now, don't you?
Uh... I guess.
A little bit, anyway.
