We are in for a treat this year, it's been officially confirmed that Toei has filed for two separate trademarks for new Sentai!

Right now the consensus is that these two teams will fight one another but only time will tell!

Yeah, sounds like a detective vs. cat burglar scenario with a Sentai team for each side, very interesting!

Definitely sounds pretty cool.

sounds like good rangers vs villian rangers, good mechas vs bad mechas aka dekaranger

although i hope we get talking mechas for good mechas to act as their partners.

With this and Lupin the III, I'll ask: What does Lupin translate into?

I'm liking this better than KyuRanger becoming the next PR!

Now they need to bring back Kamen Rider Lupin for the next Super Hero Taisen movie.

So, Lupinranger for thieves (Kaito = phantom thief) and Patoranger for detectives (Keisatsu = police)?

If this is a two-sentai series, this'll be a treat.

Well, assuming they're for the same show, and assuming that show is the 42nd Super Sentai... and *further* assuming you're right about the cops-and-robbers thing because "lupin" in the only one of those words I recognize...

I'm figuring the title of the show will either be Keisatsu Sentai Patoranger or Patoranger vs. Lupinranger. Probably the former. I'm picturing a pair of two-or-three-member teams who eventually have to team up against an outside foe. I was assuming a three-hero initial team this year after a year of twelve heroes, but five to six across two teams would give us a standard cast size. Say, red, blue, and yellow for the initially heroic team and, I dunno, black, white, and violet for the other.

I'm just a little surprised because it doesn't necessarily sound magic/supernatural, which is where I assumed Toei would jump after a very sci-fi/futuristic year.
