Dial Fighters

The Dial Fighters (ダイヤルファイター) are the collectibles and Mecha of the Lupinrangers.

Overview
They are parts of the Lupin Collection that were given to the Lupinrangers to battle the Interdimensional Crime Group Gangler. They have multiple uses depending on the fighter, such as transforming a civilian (in this case a thief) into a Lupinranger, activate a Kaitou Boost (快盗ブースト), and enlarging for battle and Mecha Gattais. All these functions are achieved with a VS Changer. They can also temporarily go on their own to distract foes by attacking them.

A unique function of the Dial Fighters is that they can automatically decode and unlock the safes on Gangler Monsters (they can only do 3 digits at a time, so two are required for Status Golds), and possibly other forms of locks as well, as demonstrated when Tooma used his to unlock a key-locked door in .

History
Upon witnessing the apparent deaths of their loved ones at the hands of an alleged Gangler, each of the Lupinrangers were approached by a mysterious figure, an associate of Arsène Lupin, and tasked to use the Dial Fighters and VS Changers to find the other pieces of the Lupin Collection. Once the task is completed, the Lupinrangers have a chance to restore their lost loved ones.

Enlarging their Dial Fighters, the Lupinrangers successfully eluded the Trigger Machines of the Patrangers. Later, when granted the power of GoodStriker, the Dial Fighters formed the Kaitou Gattai LupinKaiser for the first time, allowing them to destroy the giant Garatt Nargo.

LupinKaiser Magic
"Complete! LupinKaiser Magic!"

- post-combination announcement by Goodie

LupinKaiser Magic (ルパンカイザーマジック) is the combination between the Blue Dial Fighter, Magic Dial Fighter, and GoodStriker.

This combination is able to attack with the mace mounted at the front of the Magic Dial Fighter. After opening the mace up to reveal a gloved hand, Lupin Kaiser Magic is able to perform a complex magic trick. The trick starts by Lupin Kaiser magic throwing playing cards at the surrounding buildings, causing them to rearrange themselves and reveal a dresser. After hiding a "treasure" in one of the drawers, the Gangler is tasked to find it (in its first usage, the treasure was the Red Fighter). However, once the Gangler picks the right drawer and picks the right drawer and retrieves the treasure, it transforms into the Magic Dial Fighter, which then proceeds to attack by extending its mace into the monster.

Its finisher is the Good Striker: Show-Stopper Illusion. It manifests a bubble illusory area dubbed Lupin Magic from the glove that seem to correspond to the Gangler it is fighting. Once the Gangler comes close enough to it, LupinKaiser Magic snaps the fingers of the gloved hand, making the bubble explode.

For Ryugu Tamatebacco, it manifests the Lupin Magic: Ryuugu Castle, a pagoda-like castle that is apparently owned by Ryugu.

Appearances: Lupinranger vs Patranger Episodes 28

LupinKaiser Splash Magic
LupinKaiser Splash Magic (ルパンカイザースプラッシュマジック) is the combination between the Trigger Machine Splash, Magic Dial Fighter, and GoodStriker.

This form can use Splash's water cannon and Magic's tricks. One trick it can do is create one Lupin card in front of it with five surrounding the enemy. By inserting the water cannon into the front card, it creates several copies through the other cards which then fire high-pressure water jets at the surrounded opponent.

Its finisher is the LupinKaiser: Big Poppin' Splash​​​. As the enemy is shot into the air by the forming vortex from the cloned water cannon fire, Magic closes its fist, using the existing water to form a giant bubble around the foe. Magic then snaps, the bubble imploding before exploding in a flay of water and gas.
