| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zenigata gets to do Fujiko?????????????????????????? (Picks jaw up off of floor...) No wonder he is in such a good mood throughout the episode, even when he doesn't catch Lupin. I'd be smiling too if I could screw Fujiko as part of my job! All-in-all, an amazing episode. This is cool shit - no doubt about it... |
| Yeah, I thought she just acted but he really did do her, that lucky bastard. Lupin finally makes his appearance again and I laughed when he said that he missed Fujiko's boobs. The whole scenario of tricking everyone and Ayan hiding in the catacombs because she wants to be with Darenzo is questionable. Darenzo tried to strangle Fujiko in one moment and in the next moment she was chilling on the couch. I hope the next episode continues right from where they left off. That is because I want to see more of Fujiko's past, we saw something strange when she stood in the water affiliated to Lethe, she is the center of this show and I want to learn more about her. |
| Loved the Tosca parts, but I was a bit suprised at Zenigata, Also, Oscar continues to be annoying character. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
Nidhoeggr said: Also, Oscar continues to be annoying character. more like fucking hilarious character. he's basically comic relief, like when he opened that trap door out of nowhere. man so good |
Did they seriously just ruin Zenigata image. In all 3 series and movies Zenigata was never a pervert. Lupin was always the most horniest when it comes to Fujiko. I like everything about the episode except Oscar and how the present Zenigata. |

| Worst ep so far. Cheap plot resolve, nearly no interesting character interaction (yeah he groped her boob) and the introduction of the inspector and Oscar were just meh compared to the others. The way Fujiko was treated felt quite demeaning, yet she didn't seem to care that much. |
dbaranyi said: WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zenigata gets to do Fujiko?????????????????????????? (Picks jaw up off of floor...) lol i agree but then again its Fujiko, sex is just part of her weapon as a thief |
| Probably the least interesting of the first four episodes, but that's Mine Fujiko we're speaking about, so it was still very good. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| So this episode was half Phantom of the Opera, half Final Fantasy VI. And this... Zenigata said: I'm telling you, she's a great actress capable of hitting the high notes, even when she's not feeling much of anything. ...was the greatest innuendo (especially in context) that I've heard in a long time. |
| Well, i didn't expect actual sex to happen tbh, not with main characters. But with Fujiko's way of being, it's not that suprising. I would rather get Lupin to do her than Zenigata though, he didn't seem like someone do to it. Then again, he didn't do well it, poor guy. Still dat's Fujiko he hit. (｀-´)> Awesome episode, it was awesome to see Lupin himself again. Hakuromatsu said: Count me in for that, he might've did poorly but he sure doesn't feel like it. Zengata's the man.And this...

Subjectykins said: I don't get what you're getting worked up about, he has always had a sexual drive. Like in his dream in First Contact. Just because he got laid doesn't make him a pervert. Well okay, there was the groping as well, but I think it fits the hard-boiled Zenigata in this darker Lupinverse. Also, care to clarify what's wrong with Oscar? You name one movie out of 200+ episodes and like 18 movies. I'm just not use to this type of Zenigata. I do know in the 1st series is was more darker. They basically made him seem like a Lupin of cops in this episode. Lupin always did the touching. Then again this is the green Jacket Lupin so its different.

I like everything about the episode except Oscar and how the present Zenigata. well give series is prequel in fujiko focus/point of view. besides it's only 13eps series. Yeah i know its a prequel and focus on Fujiko. I did see just about everything Lupin except the live action movies. I know thats how Fujiko act i just didnt like the way they portrayed Zenigata. They portrayed Jigen and Goemon perfectly. |

| Yo Zenigata got to hit that and was like tsh that was nothing man what a lucky Sob and Fujiko is still mad sexy hit em high note but seem like she was a little down played this ep i know she a thief and she just use what she got to get what she want but seem a little hoe ish, anyways was great to see lupin being swag like as always cant wait for the next ep |

| I've never seen another Lupin series so I can't really comment on characters being misrepresented - But I am loving this series, it doesn't have the same uncultured sex appeal of a lot of anime nowadays - Mine Fujiko is a sex symbol but she's classy and sophisticated! Having said that this ep was pretty confusing - I will have to watch it again sometime |
| wow, I wasn't expected that scene. Not that I minded but I wonder if it was a good idea... I'm not familiar with the franchise but I know that there wasn't many explicit sex scenes in Lupin with Mine Fujiko. That would make the fans annoyed because it's being unfaithful to the original and previous series. :O Anyway, I enjoyed this episode! Was great to see Lupin's back but he didn't do much in this episode... But the chili sauce attack was hilarious! XD |
| I haven't read it, but I'm wondering if this series is more in line with the original manga. Just a thought. |

| I laugh at the people that are complaining on how everyone in the show treats Fujiko in a demeaning manner. Don't get me wrong, she's probably my favorite character in the show, but she is a slut. Expect her to get treated as one. |
 |
| Since I'm not familiar with any other work from the Lupin franchise I can't say if Zenigata is depicted adequately or not. He certainly is shown as a rather sleazy person, someone who doesn't shy away from taking advantage of an attractive woman. At least he isn't as focused on being righteous as his assistant Oscar seems to be and he clearly says that his main target is Lupin. Interestingly he calls it a matter of blood. His and Lupin's family members seem to have gotten in contact previously. If anything all attributes these make me more intrigued about his character. Fujiko's relationship with him and Oscar appeared to be the focus of this episode though in a much lesser degree compared to the first three episodes. |

  |
| So Zenigata didn't get busy with Fujiko in the main canon. Since this is a prequel series there can be a number of explanations for that including such a substandard performance by the inspector this time around that Fujiko simply wasn't interested from this point on. As for Oscar, just because you're gay, it doesn't give you license to be an insulting twit even as a sterotype.... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| This episode was just great. The art is beautiful and I love how they portrayed Fujiko's past (?) with the butterflies. |
| I'm also not used to this badass Zenigata. I'm used to the goofy guy who...well yeah he's usually just a lot more goofy/funny. This is a prequel so maybe he'll go through a character change later on. Like, Lupin's trickery finally drives him crazy or something. I hope so at least. Lupin also called Zenigata by his name instead of 'pops' so that's another thing. This series is more about Fujiko, but they have to go over this stuff at some point. Anywayz this ep was ok. Except for that voice, Oscar is pretty damn funny. He makes up for the lack of Zenigata comedy relief. Sort of. |

Dark_Kain said: I'm hoping this has to do with what I vaguely pointed out in my post (Zenigata himself is different, the name thing) - Lupin and Zenigata are not as familiar with each other in this series as they are in all the other media. It's hard to tell how long they've known each other, Zenigata seems to imply that it's been a while because of their families, but that's not specific enough. Maybe we can expect some character development in this area? The irreconcilable problem for me is Zenigata trying to kill Lupin Him shooting Lupin bothered me at first, but since it was turned into a silly trick I quickly got over it. I agree with what you're saying though. |

| Alright, so Zenigata doesn't want to kill Lupin even in the manga? If so, then yeah, I hope things develop to the rivalry (which Zenigata clearly enjoys) that was portrayed in the first series. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Frankly, I'm not sure I like the direction this series is going in, and I certainly don't like the way Zenigata is portrayed. I know this is a more serious show, but they've taken away all of his pride, his sense of justice, his incorruptibility. At least Lupin is as awesome as ever. |
Homolust said: I laugh at the people that are complaining on how everyone in the show treats Fujiko in a demeaning manner. Don't get me wrong, she's probably my favorite character in the show, but she is a slut. Expect her to get treated as one. She uses her charmes and sex appeal to manipulate and follow a hidden agenda. This basic character trait was completly absent this episode and she was basically a helpless sheep that got groped by anyone who pleases. So this is not about how others treat her, but how she reacts to this situations. Well that was just as badly written as the rest of this episode. |

| I didn't like this episode at all. The plot was predictable and poorly resolved and the way Mine Fujiko was presented really bothered me. Before this episode she seemed a strong woman who isn't afraid to embrace her sexuality in order to seduce and manipulate the men around her. In this episode all she did was nail the inspector to get out of prison, despite this still being pushed around and groped by him, getting groped by Lupin and insulted by Oscar, all the while being clueless about everything. It was such a tasteless portrayal that I think this episode alone might seriously hurt my overall score of the show. |

Most likely. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-03-07/new-lupin-iii-tv-anime-staff-cast-title-revealed The series will reportedly capture the "sensuality" present in Monkey Punch's original Lupin III manga in its "daring interpretation" of the franchise. |

| LOL I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh too much about it, and I DO know that everyone's tastes are different. What I find funny here is that so many people here don't realize that this series is VERY VERY close to the spirit of the original Lupin mangas created by monkey punch. Funnily enough, that overt symbolism at the beginning using the male character symbol to give you an obvious idea of what is going on without making this series TOO much for television was used at a time or two in the original manga if I remember right and I've seen it used in at least one other monkey punch work (cant remember what it was though). Nitre said: I don't like this new portrayal of Zenigata. New to many of the younger Lupin fans, perhaps. But Tot-san got his share of ladies in the original as well. If any of you get the chance, look up the anime OVA "alice". This will give you a better feel more towards what the original Lupin was like. There was a subbed version floating around once, probably still is. I'll leave it up to you resourceful people to figure out how to get hold of that. When they finally made the animes, the movies and the OVAs, they kind of dulled the content to keep it from feeling too adult and turning off what was a much more conservative Japan at the time of it's original release. THATS the lupin most are familiar with, and in a way I can see why this would catch some off guard, but no one can say that this ISN'T the true Lupin, because in it's way, it's a much truer Lupin than in any anime we have seen before. I still think this series is amazing. Great visuals and music, imho, and Im STILL finding myself sitting through the opening 4 eps in. The presentation is very attractive, and Im looking forward to seeing more of Lupin himself upcoming, though I know this series focuses mostly on our leading lady here. |

| Okay episode, the first 3 were much better IMO. I can't say much about Zenigata since I don't know how he is portrayed on the other series, however the story just wasn't as entertaining as the other episodes. The whole thing just didn't flow very well. |
| beautiful story of love...))) |

| Not as good as the previous episodes, but still very effective. I can't belive Zenigata actually got a piece of "that"! LOL, at Oscar being painfully jealous at it all. |
