This series is the first to feature two different teams of heroes-the gentleman thief-themed Lupinrangers and the police-themed Patrangers-who engage in a three-way battle against an alien criminal organization targeting Earth called the Ganglars.
However, they receive opposition from two Super Sentai teams: the Lupinrangers: Kairi Yano, Tooma Yoimachi and Umika Hayami, who aim to steal back the collection to live up their namesake's reputation and save those they have lost, and the Patrangers: Keiichiro Asaka, Sakuya Hikawa and Tsukasa Myoujin, who are tasked with upholding justice by retrieving the collection and taking down the Gangler.
After the Gangler are eventually defeated, the Patrangers learn the Lupinrangers' civilian identities and motives while Noël still works to unite the two Super Sentai teams into one.
[2] The eponymous Lupinrangers are a trio of phantom thieves who are recruited by Arsène Lupin's retainer Kogure (コグレ) to save their loved ones, who were taken by the Ganglar member, Zamigo Delma, a year prior.
The group is based at the Bistrot Jurer (ビストロ・ジュレ, Bisutoro Jure) cafe as part-time workers, where they learn the Patrangers' identities while concealing their own until the events of the final battle.
To transform, the Lupinrangers utilize a series of aircraft-themed VS Vehicle (VSビークル, Bui Esu Bīkuru) items called Dial Fighters (ダイヤルファイター, Daiyaru Faitā), which enable them to decode and unlock a Ganglar member's safe(s), in conjunction with the VS Changer (VSチェンジャー, Bui Esu Chenjā) firearm.
To fight enlarged Ganglar members, the Lupinrangers combine their personal Dial Fighters and Good Striker to form Lupin Kaiser (ルパンカイザー, Rupan Kaizā) via Phantom Thief Combination (快盗合体, Kaitō Gattai), whose finisher is the Good Striker: Rapid-Fire Defeating Shot (グッドストライカー・連射 倒れちまえショット, Guddo Sutoraikā Rensha Taorechimae Shotto).
To transform, the Patrangers utilize a series of land vehicle-themed VS Vehicles called Trigger Machines (トリガーマシン, Torigā Mashin), which enable them to reset the passcode on a Ganglar member's safe and disable it, in conjunction with the VS Changer.
To fight enlarged Ganglar members, the Patrangers combine their personal Trigger Machines and Good Striker to form Pat Kaiser (パトカイザー, Pato Kaizā) via Police Force Combination (警察合体, Keisatsu Gattai), whose finisher is the Pat Kaiser: Bullet Strike (パトカイザー・弾丸ストライク, Pato Kaizā Dangan Sutoraiku).
While transformed, he wields the X Rod Sword (Xロッドソード, Ekkusu Roddo Sōdo) sidearm, which has two modes that are each compatible with his forms.
The Interdimensional Crime Group Ganglar (異世界犯罪者集団ギャングラー, Isekai Hanzaisha Shūdan Gyangurā) is a criminal organization composed of prehistoric or extinct animal-themed monsters that was established five centuries ago and reside in Arsène Lupin's mansion, located in a dimension called Back World (裏の世界, Ura no Sekai).
