Another round of magazine scans has begun circling the Internet, giving fans a few tidbits about the further adventures of Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger vs Keisatsu Sentai PatRanger!
This month’s star is the mysterious Ranger X! This newcomer is able to shift between forms- the silver Lupin X and the gold Patren X. However, the new Rangers’ true identity has not yet been revealed at this time- fans can only wonder who is behind the helmet. X is not allied with the LupinRangers OR the PatRangers but does fight the Gangler whenever they appear- he will help whichever team he feels needs it.
To activate his powers, X uses his unique henshin device- the X-Changer! This new Changer comes with a pair of special VS Vehicles based on trains- the X-Train Gold & X-Train Silver. To change forms, Ranger X merely rotates the cannon on the Changer.
Rounding out his arsenal, X has a signature weapon- the X Rod Sword which also has two unique modes- Sword Mode and Jitte Mode.
Finally, some interesting casting has been announced for the upcoming LupinRanger VS PatRanger summer movie: Comedian Naoki Tanaka will be playing the role of Herlock Sholmes– the only detective to ever catch legendary thief Arsene Lupin!
Definitely some exciting times ahead for Super Sentai fans! Stay tune to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Super Sentai reveals.
The mysterious Ranger X joins the fight!
I really love his costume designs. Both Patren X ad Lupin X are really awesome and cool. But I think it will be better if Lupin X has cape like other Lupinrangers.
So he chooses the team he feels is worth helping at that moment.
Sounds like Goodstriker's shtick which makes me wonder...
I think he'll be someone who tries to turn the tides on the two teams and get them to work a REAL Sentai.
Plus a way for him to reveal Lupinranger's identities to the Patorangers one by one.
Calling it now: Ranger X will be a new character who's supposed to be a descendant of Arsene Lupin.
Gokai gold
I feel like his design is a mishmash of different things. Gokai Silver with the suit/color. ToQGer because trains, and the sword reminds me of Ninninger. I don't have a problem with this. I love it. Just saying.
I like a lot about these designs, but for some reason the whole isn't clicking for me. Also I think it would have worked better if Patren X's arms were completely gold, having the white sections on the underarms undermines the trench coat design.
One thing I think is clever are the mouthplates reflecting the opposite form's helmet design.
So he changes the dynamic of VS to X. From fighting to working together.
Like how Toei does movie titles with X for characters that are crossing over and working together, and does VS for titles that have them fighting.
I can just picture his morphing calls:
Lupin-X: Kaito Change! or X-Change Kaito!
Patren-X: Keisatsu Change! or X-Change Keisatsu!
