Goemon really needs more attention in this show so I'm glad he got his spotlight this time.

Meanwhile, Lupin and Ami deal with business together. Damn, Fujiko looks even more sexier than usual. Not going to lie, I think she looked both charming and vulnernable being in that birdcage.

Lupin vs Goemon was pretty cool even if it wasn't too long.

Awesome episode, love the use of old footage for the history of Lupin & Goemon.
That reveal at the end, didn't see it coming, it's a good twist.
“I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.”

Such a powerful episode, took more crazy turns than I initially anticipated and episode finished like a flash. Like on the older times, Goemon's battle of wit weakness problem now played by Enzo and this time went too deeper playing with his dirty trick (by using privacy power) and that death battle between Lupin vs Goemon was something to watch and this time Lupin didn't last long.. but damn that music made everything so Epic! (and the old remastered footage was also nostalgic to watch). Goemon did killed alot of opponents in past but this one hitted him hard mentally for getting defeated by his own weakness.. (kind of brings me of Goemon blood spray movie's situation) Also seems like Enzo was also targeting Jigen into similar mind game but darn episode ended with another big twist which revelation actually did came out nicely without shock factor to me (since we were given some bit hint earlier).

The PV seems to highlight next episode is going to be deep episode..

This episode was intense and it really made you stop and think about the characters, how they see each other, and even what they think of themselves, it was really good. They are fearsome when they are in sync, but I guess that doubts and rifts can bring even the strongest down, I loved it, and I know that the writers are just playing with my feelings, but this arc is feeling really conclusive.

I also wasn't expecting Ami to be Enzo's daughter before this episode, I wonder if I lost some clue that pointed to this somewhere, but well, I also wasn't expecting her to know it, but being as smart as she is, it's no surprise, I'm just a bit worried with what's going to happen now. Goemon was truly shocked after he realized what he did too, I hope his first aid was top-notch. And also, Fujiko was great!

Must admit this is probably one of the best Lupin III anime I've seen of the franchise thus far. The larger focus on advancing technology and how Lupin and his gang adapt to it have added some fresh story elements and challenges for the series, especially with the addition of Ami to the whole thing. It's also helping to add some new perspectives on the relationships that Lupin and pals have with one another. Wouldn't be far-fetched for me to even admit this may be one of the best anime I've seen for 2018 thus far as well too.

Wow. I don't have words to describe how amazed I am by the path this arc is taking. The characters and their relationship is the number 1 reason I love this franchise so much and see the subject being discussed like this is just exactly what I could've wished for. In the beginning of this season I was thinking that maybe only Fujiko x Lupin relation would get the spotlight (which I would love anyway), but I was mistaken, yay.
I really loved everything in this episode; besides the whole Goemon thing, I loved the remastered old scenes, Fujiko talking about Lupin's nature (they went pretty deep boi)... I'm dying to see now how things will go with Jigen.

Also, a little bit on the theory side: the way things are going, the way (mostly) Jigen keeps talking about how the world has changed and maybe they are not fitted to be successful thieves anymore...... It feels like we are going in the direction of the end. The end of Lupin, not just this season. But well, I know this is most likely to not be the case and I am just overthinking u-u But I wanted to share the thought; maybe someone also feels like me? Hahaha

Ugh, having to wait one more week is surely a pain t.t

Oh My God! What a friggin' shocking twist! Really!? Ami is Enzo's daughter after all!?!?
This episode was perfect because of that revelation!
5/5.

An interesting episode, showcasing that Lupin and Goemon are both friends and rivals. Enjoyed seeing previous records of the two's encounters.

I guess it was about time Lupinand his friends started evaluating themselves after so many years.

That Nanja Monja brothers, what a zoi zoi zoi xD

"EU is looking to tighten its internet regulations"
Oh no Article 13

I don't think Enzo could be described as "pure"
Zantetsuken can't cut Konjac though xD

I'd say they're all not partners, but pals
But what is partners or pals? :P
They didn't stuck together, they decided to stick together
Part 1-5 is a long journey, they've been through a lot

They really made Ami being the guy's daughter twist obvious at the start. The second they mentioned his missing daughter I knew it was her. It's always the main heroine in anime...

More melodrama which ends up in Lupin close to death (again). I mean did they really have to cut each other up in the heart of the lion's den?

I love how they reference the old Lupin clips from old Parts.

But now, it seems Goemon was able to "beat" Lupin.

And Ami being Enzo's daughter was kinda obvious at the beginning. Especially how Enzo knew about Funny Bear and Dragon Baby. Even knew about Underworld. They also both have the same hair color.

2 more episodes!!

So Enzo is indeed the father, lol.

And there she is, the episode highlighting the bond between Lupin and Goemon.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

What an ending, that was quite a twist.

Lupin vs. Goemon was entertaining, but I'm a bit disappointed that Enzo was able to manipulate Goemon so easily. Lupin is surely geting wounded a lot this season, much more than previously, and it usually looks life-threatening from bleeding alone, even if no vital organs have been hit.

One of the more obvious twists going round.

Goemon apparently reminded himself a duel form the Green Jacket series. It took a while.

Good news, we found Amy's father. Bad news is - he's on the opposite side. Wonder how's that gonna end up, because I doubt it would be happy family reunion.
