Kairi definitely stole Keiichiro's heart throughout the series!

I really miss these two! I wish we could get another season.

the determined Lupinrangers // the dazzling Patrangers

This is something I’ve been working on for a while to help bring me out of my art block and it’s finally done! I really love role swaps, so I decided to try one out for LupinPat ^-^

I’m also writing a fic that goes with this which focuses on why each of the Lupins and Pats took up their opposing roles! You can read it at AO3~ ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

(design notes + masked lupins under the read more!)

*cracks knuckles* so I guess I’ll just discuss this in the order that I made these!

First off, I just wanted to say I based the Lupin!Pats off of their counterparts but I also wanted their own personalities to be reflected in their thief costumes; likewise, even though the Pat!Lupins wear uniforms, I tried to capture their personalities as best I could

So starting with Tsukasa, I decided to give her something that was elegant, yet cute to reflect the side of her that likes cute things and also i just wanted an excuse to draw tsukasa in lolita. Her dress is based off Rabbit Teeth ~Ode to Napoleon~ while keeping aspects of Umika’s costume (like the tiny hat and pins)

I thought Kairi’s costume was a little too fancy for Keiichiro?? Personally I thought something more simple would be more fitting for him, so I gave him a three piece suit and a flat brim fedora. I think he kinda looks like a mobster lol

Also I just need everyone to know this, but I googled “fancy watches” for a reference for Keiichiro’s watch and like??? watches are so expensive??? This is the one I chose as reference and it’s like $15k?????????? why do you need to spend so much to read time????? anyways thank u i just need to share how much fashion and its prices baffle me

Moving onto Sakuya, I thought that out of the three, he’d be the most into the whole phantom thieves gimmick and thus would be really fancy haha so I gave him a tuxedo and a top hat. he would totally put on a cape and try to be like tuxedo mask if not for keiichiro and tsukasa

(Also yea, I just used textures for Keiichiro and Sakuya’s costumes lol...... ain’t got the patience to create my own design or mimic Kairi’s and Touma’s www)

just an idea I have about where the Lupin!Pats got their costumes: I headcanon that Umika designed and made the Lupins’ costumes, so I also imagine that she also made the ones for the Lupin!Pats -- not that she meant it for them specifically lol while she was still a student, someone (Kogure in ~disguise~, assuming that this is all indeed an elaborate plot) commissioned her to make these costumes though they never really explained why. Still, they offered a lot of money, so she did it www. Needless to say, she was shocked when she saw the costumes in action haha

Anyhow, the Pat!Lupins! They just have the standard GSPO uniforms, but like I said, I tried to show their personalities. Touma wears the GSPO watch and though he keeps his jacket zipped all the way, his pants aren’t tucked into his boots.

I figure Kairi would be kinda “lazy” with his uniform, not zipping it nor keeping his pants tucked into his boots. Not shown, but he’s wearing the GSPO bracelet (which P-Bandai took down for some reason :c).

I really adore Umika being a fashion designer and having her own sense of style and I really didn’t wanna lose that part of her... it was a bit of a challenge since it’s like how can you show that while still adhering to the uniform? Her hair would cover her earrings www but I also gave her the GSPO bracelet, and I gave her a lil necklace based on the Pats’ badge haha

and as promised, here’s the Pat!Lupins with their masks~

I got kinda (more like really) lazy with the masks tbh lol _(:3

aaand that’s about it I think! Thank you for taking the time to read this~!

- Don’t take me lightly. While we’re cooperating for now, I’m thinking of how best to use you to beat her.

- You say that, but I might be the one who ends up using you.

- Interesting. Go ahead, if you can.

Umika’s Style: Episode 7 Analysis

Hi hi! This hit me just as I was about to go to bed last night and originally I wanted to make a gif set (I probably will still make one for later haha), but I thought this was too much to just tack onto the tags and deserved its own post www In retrospect this is probably obvious, but I got super excited when I thought about it and already opened up a new post so here we go lol

So this is the scene that sparked my thoughts:

During my first viewing, this seemed like a pretty innocuousness comment. Sakuya likes Umika, of course he wants to compliment her, right? But as I was watching things again, I realized this actually hits a big part of Umika’s character based on what we know so far

(continued under the read more)

Earlier we see some flashbacks of Umika’s past and initially I viewed them as the typical bullying kids do

Kids are mean, kids are cruel; they’ll take the most superficial stuff and ostracize others for it, including clothes. Again, to me, this didn’t seem like anything more than the Sad Backstory™ to develop Umika further. But it was later on that I noticed that this hurts Umika deeper than simply for her appearance.

Remember this adorable drawing of hers, that she covered up because those bullies were making fun of her?

Here it is again -- but this time, the drawing has been made reality. What a cute dress, isn’t it? Let’s zoom out a bit.

Okay, I’m probably super dense, but it took me a couple of viewings to realize that this is a sewing room. 

The focus of this scene is Shiho, so they don’t really call attention to what room this is but there’s so many designs and clothes on the walls, a sewing machine and materials all over the place. Based on the final shot of this scene (her original drawing with the dress beside it), we can safely assume it’s Umika’s (or the designs and clothes at least, maybe Shiho lets her use this room haha)

Umika is a fashion designer.

And I just absolutely love how subtle this aspect of her is. We’re not told about this -- not even in her bio -- save for Sakuya’s comment of “You’re pretty fashionable, huh?” She does not flaunt this part of herself around nor does she talk about it herself; perhaps it’s a self-confidence thing (though I’m sure her time with Shiho certainly helped her in this regard, otherwise she wouldn’t have this room filled with her wonderful creations ;u;) or perhaps she wants to place her priorities on saving Shiho. It’s not her defining trait, but to have dreams and ambitions like this is pretty big and I think this makes her a very multifaceted character

Anyways, this stuck out to me because even though Sakuya needs to learn how to tone it down by like a lot and give a girl her space, he’s someone who loves and accepts Umika’s style when she’s had a history of people making fun of her for it and I find that pretty sweet ;w; I hope this gets touched upon more and we see more of this side of Umika! Wouldn’t it be really neat if she were the one who designed the Lupins’ thief outfits??? hehe 

Thanks for reading! Gosh, it’s because of details like this that Umika’s climbing her way up on my faves list haha. And... just gonna drop this tangent, but is it just me or does Umika exhibit symptoms of PTSD?? Perhaps I should save that for another post lol. Thanks for reading again!
