Plot

Following from the previous episode, Kairi, Toma and Umika finally defeated Zamigo and all of his victims are free from his ice prison. The best thing is that Kairi's older brother, Shori, Toma's fiancee, Aya, and Umika's childhood friend, Shiho are also free from the ice prison. Despite being happy, the Lupinrangers are still stuck in Dogranio's safe. Meanwhile the Patrangers are still struggling to defeat Dogranio when Noel discovers that the Lupin Collections from Dogranio's safe are vanishing and making him lose his powers. So the Patrangers and Noel transform one more to defeat Dogranio.

Despite Super Patren X and Super Patren 1gou defeating Dogranio, they are unable to finish him as the Lupinrangers are still stuck in the safe. Keichiro demands that he release them, but he refuses, saying that if they want to kill him they'll have to kill the Lupinrangers inside of him too. Jim orders Keichiro to take the shot, saying he will take full responsibility for the three's deaths. However, the Patrangers and Noel remembers their memories with Kairi, Toma, and Umika and cannot finish Dogranio. They instead imprison him in a maximum security room underground.

One year later, the Patrangers got super popular over the news and every social media sites. Jim found out there was one Gangler with a Lupin collection piece remaining. The Patrangers found the Gangler, only to meet the Lupinrangers outside of Dogranio's safe. They reveal that inside of the safe, Jackpot Striker appeared and got them out. It turns out that Noel scouted out Shori, Aya and Shiho to get Jackpot Striker to rescue them. The Patrangers were relieved until Keichiro asked if they are still going to be thieves despite their loved ones are back. The Lupinrangers state that they still need to complete the Lupin Collection which includes the pieces in the possession of the Patrangers. The Patrangers refuse to surrender their pieces, saying that even though the Gangler in front of them was the last one with a collection piece, there were still other Ganglers and the Patrangers needed their equipment to fight them. The two teams end up on a friendly fight, obliterating the Ganglar's forces and taking his collection piece before they turn their weapons on each other.
