Lupinpato 36

It's been a while since I talk about lupins here gyahhhh XD This episode was really sweet, and I love the fact how *nearly* none of them questioned the nature of their kaiser teamwork :') They just met on the battlefield and went with it :'))))

Also, LOVE how Umika sort of wanted to help/was concerned about Tsukasa when she fell down, but held her composure in front of the others :') That was (bitter)sweet!

What Sentai series would you want to get adapted after Ryusoulger/Dino Fury, at least the ones you've seen anyways?

kyuranger, but ONLY if they keep all the suit characters as suits and commit to making champ/stinger gay

For five HCs… with all these Riders as Sentai, how about LupinPato as Riders?

Two Kamen Riders have been protecting a backwater town and fighting each other for the past year. Kamen Rider Patrol, born and bred by the Global Police, had been working at the epicentre of Gangler activity since 2017. Kamen Rider Lupin is the newcomer who nicks treasures from Ganglers and people alike. Considering how nothing exciting happens, everyone watches this duel with interest. Polls are run, merchandise is released, and there are many fan sites devoted to getting good pictures of the Riders. But what no one knows that this isn’t a battle between two people - it’s between six

To emphasize the importance of teamwork and how suffering doesn’t have to be handled alone, Patrol merges three people together to become one Rider. Thus, the VS Badges they use to transform double as soul jars. If something were to happen to a VS Badge, then whoever’s soul is tied to it will suffer from rebound or, at worst, die. In Satoru’s case, he becomes comatose mid-way through the story; forcing Sakuya to take his place. Up until then, Sakuya had been Satoru’s understudy, so he had many doubts about his capabilities. Since every single wielder of Patrol needs a clear mind to use the suit’s full capabilities, this puts them at a disadvantage for a while. Thus, Patrol goes on a break in order to sort things out - and the number of Gangler crimes rise as they do

Due to the elusive and independent nature of a phantom thief, Lupin only allows one person to wield the armour in one body. This makes it impossible for people to guess their identity because the accounts are all different. However, it’s possible for another wielder to “infiltrate” the suit. This is done by inserting their VS Card into their own copy of the belt, and then taking control of the body currently using the suit (sometimes it winds up with two wielders mentally fighting). Lupin’s goal is to find the Collection pieces that contain the souls of their loved ones. They can only be released when the entire Collection is gathered

Noel is Kamen Rider X-Change, and the current owner of the Lupin Collection. He has the unique ability to use the powers of phantom thieves and police, and hijack the suits of Lupin and Patrol. But there’s a gag where sometimes he hijacks a suit, and another wielder suppresses him mentally for a whole fight (i.e. one time he hijacked the Patrol suit and there’s a visual display of Satoru sitting on him in the shared mental space. Tsukasa’s taking care of attacks from the back and Keiichiro takes care of the front). Long ago, Noel was revived by Arsene Lupin thanks to the Collection - with the downside that he can’t touch unmodified Collection pieces, because they’ll suck out his soul and entrap him forever

Keiichiro is the only one native to said backwater town. His father is a retired police officer who still commands respect, and Keiichiro himself had served in the ranks until the Global Police recruited him. Tsukasa transferred from Tokyo as the high criminal rate meant better pay. Satoru chose the place for its beautiful sights and how it was at greater risk thanks to the Gangler. Sakuya came on Satoru’s recommendation, and he stuck to the office for the first half of the story - running errands, doing paperwork, patrolling the area and practicing to use his own VS Badge

Kairi and Umika are transfer students to the local high school. The former pretends he was held back a year or so (as Kogure provided fake documents), and he constantly skips class. The latter ended up running away from home, and her parents have commissioned the police to help look for her. Unlike Kairi, Umika is diligent with attending her classes, is awed by being in a co-ed school for the first time, and even made some friends. Touma gets employed as the school cook. The single female teachers like to visit him, and he receives love letters on a regular basis. The three of them live in a fairytale-esque house that once belonged to the richest person in town.

send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it

[trick-starr]

ToQger, LupinPato, and Fourze all tied in the poll I made earlier so this time I’ll be using complex, state-of-the-art algorithms to determine which one to stream

[kamen-q]

Just left the theatre and I can confirm good movie. I didn't cry but like, it got really close As for how gay it was: Kiryuu Sento standing in the rain explaining to Katsuragi Takumi how much Banjou Ryuuga means to him. That is all.

[kathillards]

☕ there is no reason for lupinpato to focus any more on the patos than they already do

getting controversial now... no shade i do love kei-chan and tsukasa but yeah i dont think any of us really need those godawful sakuya focus episodes once a month...

(send me a ☕️ and an opinion and i’ll tell you whether i agree or disagree)

[kabutoraiger]

Have you thought about writing a Lupinpato fanfic? Kairi/keichiro seems to have enough potential

hm. usually i need at least 10 episodes of something to get invested enough to write for it but there is definitely some good potential here in lupato... i don’t think red/red is going to be my jam this year just bc i’m shallow and kairi doesn’t do anything for me (and also looks even younger than his actual age) but. i’m already pondering some other options...

[miky91ftw]

Also: I have decided that, as far as my future possibile LupinPato art is concerned, Pat1 will be Vermilion and LupinRed will be carmine/cherry red.

[kimberlyannharts]

Anyone watch the recent episode on Lupin vs Pat? Episode 48? For once I felt bad for Sakuya? He really believed Umika was not a Lupinranger and he had a chance to pursue a relationship with her. That got all blown up in his face.

i’m still not here for umika/sakuya but the tension and stress of the unmasking combined with the pure skill of the actors got me feeling for them a lil :/ lupinpato is too good at character-driven storytelling fuck me

LupinPato #39 rambles

> Zamigo's theme is so cool, like something you'd hear on FF omg

> I'm touched by how apologetic Umika was when she explained their situation to Noel :3 Why so precious Umika ;A;

> If Zamigo merely transported his victims somewhere, the only question is why?? Why would he kidnap them?////

> Touma's expression when Umika lowkey asked him about Aya :'(((

> I need more Tsukasa screen time////

> Kairi and Keiichiro's current angsty dynamic is amazing :') It's been going on for a few episodes now and it doesn't get stale

> Umika's jacket is cute ;A;

> Jim being confused is cute ;A;

> Everyone is cute ;A;

[lalalactose]

Umika studies from ep 1- - CLOTHES ARE HARD I don’t think I’ve done enough justice XD But I’ll keep trying bcoz I won’t go down without lupinpato fanarts this season <3 omitting the frilly thing on her hat because it covers her face from time to time and plus I think she looks better without it <3333333333

[lalalactose]

OMG LUPINPATO EP.7 ❤️

NO SUBS YET BUT PLENTY OF THINGS TO MARVEL AT: 

Interesting how Umika and Sakuya’s date sort of makes me want to ship Umika and Kairi instead. If the hints are not clear enough, then we’re being trolled by the writers ;A;

Sakuya’s comedic timing is super amazing tho omg

My prayer for Umika’s backstory has been answered by the toku gods- - this week reveals everything <3

Tsukasa is the hound of the group, much like Amu from Zyuohger who has this natural radar of sensing oddities and changes around her. Goooooo Tsukasa!

I think this has been the most chill version of Keichiiro we’ve seen so far :’) It’s not clear yet since there’s no subs yet but, I think he’s actually curious/rooting for Sakuya’s date (??) which would be cute if this was true!

When @tokucrap​ made the amazing gif of Kairi pinching Umika’s nose, I never thought I’d use it again anytime soon but episode 7 proved me wrong.

I have a feeling that we will see A LOT MORE nose-pinching action from now on.

That vintage suitcase is basically Superman’s telephone box :’) I wonder if the boys use suitcases too or just like wear double clothings to simplify things? But that might be too heavy and bulky to walk around in?? Wkwkwkwkk nah XD This suit-changing action still defies my logic (I mean, she can actually just find a hiding spot and masqueraise into LupinYellow, less hassle and all, right?) But I guess this change is important to Umika, changing into costume is symbolic for her; for her bravery to step up to the choices she made when she became a lupin <3 and her personal growth as a person ahuhuhu)

Kairi saying no to Goodie this week as a nod to his betrayal last week is honestly one of the best highlights of this episode, if not probably the whole show so far. Just as we almost believed that the show is forming a predictable pattern of Lupin-Pato-Lupin-Pato for its kaiser finale, once again the characters defy our expectations :’) UGH. So happy for this.

The patos casually chatting while lunching in the bistro is everything I hoped for to happen in episode 3 kekekekeke//// Casual patos is all I wanna see :’) 

Still blown away every week with how mindful the writers are for this season. It’s so amazing. 

[lalalactose]

LupinPato 3 - highlights

SPOILERS! Even though the subs havent dropped yet!

.

.

.

> Touma’s backstory ;A; What a drive.

> Sakuya being clumsy, Sakuya being awesome, Sakuya being SCARY he scared Umika omg boy chill (a.k.a where our ship sails)

> Tsukasa is the mom of the patos, I can safely say that.

> Keichiiro’s butt. 

> Keichiiro’s talking butt.

> Both Kairi and Keichiiro getting hit by Goodie on the head XD

> I love even though each episode ends with a kaiser-monster fight, each seems very different with one another. There are just so many small surprises here and there that makes each episode seem special, and thus enjoyable! Gosh.

> Now I can see why Sakuya’s crush on Umika is WRITTEN on his bio. Save this boy please XD

[kamen-q]

hey lupinpato why is the guy from France not actually a French guy you’ve had a French lady on here before

you know you’re allowed to have more than one non-Japanese person as a recurring character right? Like even as a main character? It’s not going to make children stop watching your show

[lalalactose]

THE SMOL DETAILS!! (and spoilers for LupinPato EP.2)

Beware random points below:

Like how Umika struggles to PULL to activate the seat-controller-thingy inside their Lupin Kaiser, when Kairi and Touma can do it with ease <3

Or how Tsukasa punches Keiichiro when he/they touches her/their body in fusion mode LOL

Or when after Jim Carter alerts the patos with a Gangler presence, Keiichiro rushes out, while Tsukasa and Sakuya are like, ‘ok sure’, far behind him XD

And did you see how when Kairi grabs Touma to the roof, Umika instinctively joins them without any need for Kairi to call her. It’s like Umika (and Touma) subconsciously follows Kairi as their leader which is soooo cool. 

Also Umika is very smol she was still in school when her best friend was frozen ;A; 

ALSO, Umika notices the advantage of working together with the Patos! And it delights me when Keiichiro lets the Lupin go after the Gangler is taken care of :’D His priority can be straightened out after all~

I bet the Patos are just hungry but the Lupins are all, “EVERYONE, ACT NORMAL!!”

I can’t wait to see a more laid back side of the Patos <3 They’ll probably have lunch there while talking about the Lupins *COUGHS* AAAAH so exciting!

[lalalactose]

Next Week on LupinPato: ‘TSUKASA AND THE CUTE SHARK PLUSHIE’

Eeeeep Tsukasa-focused episode is gonna be nice <3
