| I agree with you. It isn't often we see Lupin in such despair over beating his opponent. The last time he had this much trouble was with Piker the magician and like that time, Lupin was able to come through once again. It was also good to see how much Jigen and Goemon cared for Lupin when then thought he had died. Another great Lupin episode! |
 |
| Seeing him in a sense of urgency and completely out of his element was a new one for me, but it made for a very entertaining episode on the whole. |
| The ending of this one was hilarious. My favourite episode so far and I did feel sorry for Lupin. Hah, Fujiko, don't let Lupin get away with breaking his promise. |
 |
| I didn't expect sci-fi elements in this series. And it was funny how 900 years apparently equal 10 generations in the Lupinverse xD. So they all got their kids when they were 90? ^^ |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Also I don't think I've ever seen a Lupin episode wher Lupin got this worried about anything. Great use of time travel here. |
 |
| The time travel bit was in fact very interesting. Mamou made it overly complicated though. |

| Scene when that guy Mamou back with Fujiko was brilliant and hilarious at the same time haha |

Then again, why would the future Lupins change their last name? Don't forget, Lupin's first name is Arsène. That was interesting. I'm guessing this is where the Mamo movie stemmed from. I just love seeing Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon laugh together like that! What true broship maaaaan |

| Haha the time travel part was fun, gives the show a nice touch to it. Even time travel couldn't beat Lupin III, what an awesome lad. |
| I love the fact that in this universe, someone actually invented a working time machine, and the societal response was "meh, whatever" - up until the time traveller started messing with Lupin III, and then there were people who cared. |
 |
| So over-the-top and silly yet has some of the best characterization so far in the series, and the ending was really fun. Lupin III's starting to settling into a really comfortable groove of really solid episodic adventures. |
| The retcon of Goemon's and Lupin's relationship, scifi elements, a further increase of comedic elements - this episodes marks a milestone in the transition from the originally conceptualized Lupin to the franchise that we all know and love today. I assume this is where the future Ghibli staff members got more control over the production. Also, the three guys laughing at the end is probably one of the most famous Lupin scenes. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Lupin is one sneaky genius bastard! I love this guy. Great episode with over-the-top sci-fi elements. The last scene was hilarious and just proves how much of a genius Lupin can be when he actually tries. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| This is my favorite episode so far! It was an interesting idea for an episode and I liked how it ended, perfect! |
 |
| Haha I love how Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon all laughed together BFFs goal <3 I guess Fujiko just want someone to truly love her xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| An enemy who can travel through time and erase your existence just like that is certainly fearsome. No wonder Lupin lost his nerve at first. But even though time travel can be complicated and raise questions, it was a nice episode. I like how Fujiko was up to marrying Lupin after he said that he really loved her, and I loved to see Jigen and Goemon mourning Lupin when they thought he was gone. xD |
 |
| Damn and here I thought this time traveler gimmick was just a trick as some form of revenge on Lupin but turns out it was real XD Yeah seeing Lupin deal with the fact that this is one opponent he might not be able to defeat really brought a more dire tone to the whole situation and seeing Lupin go through the stages of coping with this harsh outcome was just fantastic! Lupin wanting to tie the knot with Fujiko was actually rather sweet ^-^ and I agree Fujiko make sure Lupin keeps his promise and takes responsibility XD That coupled with Jigen and Goemon reacting to Lupin's vanishing and how they all teamed up to bust up that time machine and then shared in such a hearty laugh of brotherhood! Absolutely fantastic one of the best episodes :D |
 |
| He did a lot of favours for someone he's trying to kill I mean eliminate from the time continuum. |
 |
| I felt bad for Lupin there, but in the end he was saved. I wonder if that bit about Milene Lupin had some truth in it or was all made out. I'm also thinking not every generation had a Lupin in it, but to think Lupin actually got married in the future was wholesome. |
| This episode really had everything. It got quite dark and serious there for Lupin. Quite a pivot from the others so far. |
| Another epic episode entered the imagination of the spectators: Lupine who faces an almost invincible enemy like Mamou, managing to find such a brilliant stratagem, as not to forget the scene in which Lupine vanishes in front of Jigen and Goemon. The message that must be read between the lines of the events narrated is that of never giving up, we must fight to the end. In the end, however, Lupine regrets having defeated Mamou, because he awaits a worse fate, eheheheheh !!! |
 |
| Great episode. For most of it it was a pretty serious episode where Lupin was legitimately scared for his life and then it ended with such a funny anti-climax |
 |
| WTF?! The last few episodes were hit-or-miss, then suddenly they make this god-tier episode? Man. This episode stands far above the previous episodes. 10/10 |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.    |
| What a weird episode. |
| I've seen the movie, so I knew this episode was coming. I didn't really have any expectations, but I was disappointed. Ignoring the time-travel discrepancy, as well as the non-sense that surrounds it. as the guy above said, "he killed the guy who built the castle (and others) but merely hid Fujiko". But also, Mamou said the world was in danger, then decides to kill Lupin since Lupin the 13th killed his descendant. So, is the world really in danger? Especially, why is the conflict revolving around Lupin the 3rd? Wouldn't it make more sense to revolve around either the 13th or the original? And if it's not the 13th, why try to torture them the way he's been doing it? Then, for the finale. What's the use in doing what Lupin did? Couldn't he have done pretty much the same thing without tricking him like that? He did get Mamou to exit the time travel machine and walk into the church mere moments earlier, not like he could have gotten to his machine before Lupin shot him, Jigen shot him or Goemon sliced him or his machine up. Especially in this version of Lupin, where they actually kill people sometimes. All in all, I didn't dislike the episode premise, nor did I dislike the events themselves, but I can't get over how dumb it is. |
