Power Rangers Vigilants vs. Sentinels

Power Rangers Vigilants vs. Sentinels is Hyperus18's adaptation of Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger, translated as Phantom Thief Squadron Lupinranger VS Police Squadron Patranger, the 42nd entry in the Super Sentai franchise and the first Super Sentai entry to involve two Sentai teams at the same time.
It has a "cops and robbers" type of theme focusing on two competing Super Sentai teams, with one a police force and the other being a band of thieves.
Beginning in 2020, it aired in South Korea as Power Rangers Lupin Force vs Patrol Force (파워레인저 루팡포스 VS 패트롤포스). On October 21, 2019 https://twitter.com/langitRTV/status/1177163302691954689https://twitter.com/langitrtv/status/1186146069312241665?s=21&t=9N6xSdDpJgYQOKuaI7wIIw, the Indonesian dub premiered under its Japanese name verbatim. The dub was made available on YouTube in the same year. While the broadcast episodes were censored, the episode, Number 11: I Will Continue Shooting, suffered the worst cuts; all of the human gender swap scenes were removed, essentially halving the episode length. The episode was left uncensored in the YouTube version.
The average ratings of the series were 3.0%.https://www10.atwiki.jp/shichouseiko/pages/564.html

===Use in Power Rangers===
After the finale of Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel which adapted the second half of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Saban had subsequently sold the franchise to Hasbro, where they adapted the previously-skipped Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters as two seasons of Power Rangers Beast Morphers. LuPat was amongst many Sentai skipped over in favor for the then-currently airing Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, which premiered as two seasons of Power Rangers Dino Fury. Dino Fury show-runner Simon Bennett clarified that LuPat would be difficult to adapt properly due to the sensitivity and potential political controversy of police brutality, racial prejudice, and criminals that had occurred in the United States at the time. To date, the LuPat suits currently remain un-adapted in any form of Power Rangers media, but Hyperus18 decided to take Lord-Draven125's approach and try to make it not seem like either "copaganda" or "ACAB".
==Plot==
Gathered throughout his lifetime, the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin assembled a vast collection of dangerous items known as the "Lupin Collection". When this collection is stolen by interspace invaders known as the Gangler, two teams set out to retrieve it! Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger, who desires to live up to Lupin's name, aims at stealing back the collection from the Gangler. While Keisatsu Sentai Patranger, who hopes to uphold justice, aims to retrieve the collection and take down the Gangler! With two rival teams confronting each other for the same goal, just who will emerge victoriously?

==Notes==
*This Sentai Series has multiple notable firsts. Specifically:
**The first full-fledged Sentai that is not crossover team-up related to have two Sentai Teams coming to blows with one another. A permanent heroes vs. heroes team-up if you will.
**The first Sentai to feature a Sentai team without a Blue Ranger (Patrangers).
**The first Sentai to have more than one collectible gimmick/mecha System: the Dial Fighters for the Lupinranger, the Trigger Machines for the Patranger, and the X Trains used by Noël Takao.
**The first Sentai not to have an ending theme for the TV series.
**The first Sentai to have one person as two 6th Rangers for different teams at once.
**The first Sentai to feature no new villains who join the initial antagonists, either as generals or a separate force.
**The first Sentai to air entirely in the new timeslot introduced during Kyuranger and Kamen Rider Build.
*The Patrangers were the first of the two teams revealed.
*Lupinranger's name contains a reference to Arsène Lupin, a fictional gentleman thief and master of disguise created by French writer , and also to , a fictional character created by and the protagonist of manga series.
*This series was the final Sentai series, aside from Super Sentai Strongest Battle, to have a full televised run in the Heisei Era; Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger is in a similar position to Choujuu Sentai Liveman in that it will run during the transition of reigning emperors.
*An interview with Gregory Mitchell by TokuNation revealed the 2018 Sentai was originally going to be flight-based. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlu3J3Iual8
*This is the only Sentai TV series to use the “VS.” title outside VS Sentai crossover films. As well as being the first VS Sentai title to have the “VS.” part to be pronounced as the , instead of the usual Japanese translation word “対/Tai”.
*This is the last Super Sentai show to both premiere and end in February.
*This is the first Super Sentai series not to first appear as a Pre Cameo in movie since Shinkengers
