Lupin III: Part III Episode 12 Discussion

In which while trying to steal a painting of his grandfather's lover, Lupin happens across a young woman and her father, both of whom he knew years ago, being held captive. It's always interesting to see a much younger Lupin, even if it was just a brief image. Fairly well done non-Fujiko damsel in distress episode. Although she did briefly show up at the end just to cause trouble, as usual. I'm a sucker for these chivalrous Lupin episodes. Another one that, had the villain not been such a pushover, might've made a decent film. Maybe it already has been though with Castle of Cagliostro...I'll know some day. As an aside, Sophie's dad definitely seemed to be a bit van Gough-esque in design, which makes sense. I really enjoyed the switcheroo reveal, which I didn't see coming. Especially on Zenigata's side, the perv. XD
