## Notes

 File:LupinrangerVSPatranger-Indonesian-RTVlogo.jpg
* 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 Maurice Leblanc, and also to *Arsène Lupin III*, a fictional character created by Monkey Punch and the protagonist of *Lupin the Third* 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.
* 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 letters (ブイエス, *Bui Esu*?), instead of the usual Japanese translation word “対/Tai”.
* This is the last *Super Sentai* show to both premiere and end in February.
