Pitch Cock's crime & ability is just BEYOND weird! I think they should change it to something else if Saban turns this into Power Rangers. Like turning people into kids.

I have yet to watch the episode. Is female Sakuya as attractive as crossdressing Yakumo and Tenkuuji Takeru, from a heterosexual male perspective? I ask since I can't recall the last time this trope was used in Super Sentai.

LvP episode 11: I thought this episode was funny, but story-wise, it's the worst episode so far. The Good: Having the characters dress in different gender's clothes is cheap, but what made it funny was some of the character reactions. The look on Keiichiro's face when Sakuya (or should I say, Sakimi... nah, I'm sticking with Sakuya) had him against the wall was priceless. The "It's gone. They're real" thing reminds me of the "Something, Something, Nothing" gag from Magiranger, which I thought was one of the funniest realizations of that type of joke. I also appreciated Sakuya's story about why he wants to finish the movie and how he looks up to Keiichiro and Tsukasa (which, by the way, makes me wonder why Sakuya is ranked above her). I also appreciated the twist of the Gangler not being the director, but being the cameraman. I didn't see that coming. Well played. The Bad: The problem with this episode wasn't the idea of gender-flipping. The problem with this episode was that it served no purpose to the plot. Whenever you have any kind of episode where you change the physiology of one or some of the characters, you would think the story would be about the characters learning something either about themselves, or the creature, person, or gender they changed into, but none of that happened. Aside from Sakuya not being used to having boobs, there was absolutely no downside to the Patrangers from being different genders. I get that they want to let the Patrangers feel more professional, because if they were bumbling, it would have made them look stupid, because being a different gender shouldn't affect them being able to do their jobs that much, but it ultimately just felt pointless. Heck, Sakuya didn't even need to be a girl to tell that story.
In fact, I think there's a glaring missed opportunity here. In the episode where Sakuya admits that he joined the police just to get girls, he turns into a girl. You'd think this episode would be about him learning to appreciate girls more, but nope. The show does nothing with that. When Sakuya becomes a girl, he acts noticeably more girly, but Keiichiro and Tsukasa don't act any differently. There's a missed opportunity there, too. Male and female brain chemistry is slightly differently, and even a show like Fairly OddParents (when it was good) was able to mine that for comedy and character development. How would Keiichiro and Tsukasa's personality change from changing genders? That dynamic could have made for some good comedy, and it would be better comedy, because it would be character-based, and not just cross-dressing jokes or "different stuff" jokes, which did make me laugh, but like I said, even I can admit that it was a cheap laugh.
Also, in any episode where the main character or characters have to make some kind of video, you always show the video they made at the end of the episode. It's supposed to be a payoff. To not show it makes the whole episode feel pointless. Final thoughts: This episode was a disappointment, and kind of a mess. I enjoyed it, but I can't say it's objectively a good episode. I guess you can say it's a guilty pleasure. The Patrangers just feel like they're only here to be joke characters, and it's a shame, because for a few episodes, it felt like they were moving away from that. I'm wholeheartedly team Lupinranger, but that doesn't mean I want the show to make the Patrangers look incompetent to make the Lupinrangers look good. This show started genuinely brilliantly, and I'm surprised by how short of a time it took to get a misstep this big. I hope this isn't indicative of a drastic drop in the quality of the show. Next episode: It looks like a Touma-focus episode. The last one won this character over for me, but this episode doesn't look like much of a game-changer. It looks like we're in the part of the show where it starts to get filler-y until we get to the 6th ranger. Still, it doesn't look like a bad episode, but after these last 2 episodes, I'm sad to say, I'm not as excited for this one as I want to be.

Kogure's bio already reveals his relation to Arsene Lupin, so he's been lying to the Lupinrangers since their first meeting. What doesn't add up is that Arsene Lupin wasn't alive 999 years ago. Mysterious. What I've read just says that he's the butler of the descendants of Arsene Lupin. I also don't get why the Lupinrangers think defeating Zamigo will bring back their loved ones. Even if that was true, how would they know that? I thought where they were going was that they want to defeat Zamigo for revenge. All of a sudden, he's their backup plan to save their loved ones if they can't trust Kogure? Why? I don't get it. Defeating him probably wouldn't do anything. I'm also not sure why they came up with that. Their best chance is to just go along with Kogure, even if he's keeping things from them. An interesting thing about Zamigo is that he doesn't really need to use those weapons, because he can create and manipulate ice himself. |

I thought it was actually quite good.
Pointless? Sort of
A decline in action? Yes
But it was good overall.
