This was another really fun episode. And it seems like this week we are getting back to back episodes.

Lupin and his gang have to deal with another face recognition program and match wits to see if they can best it. To nobody's surprise, they do. But the fun part was the twist of the head of the technology having a crush on Lupin. This lead to some nice comedic moments. I called halfway through the episode that they would use the annoyingly catchy song to time up their countdowns, and I turned out to be right, though I thought Lupin would think of that plan before the operation instead of just winging it at the last second.

Once again, the music throughout the episode was great, and I am not sure how long that Wangtic song will stick in my head for.

We got another classic episode of Lupin vs. Technology except this time its Wangtic and their Lupin system led by Ms. Lingfeng Wang. She is so confident that her Lupin system is flawless that she extends a challenge to Lupin himself to steal a priceless coin from the safe. Of course Lupin himself won't back down from a challenge accepts the offer. The plan requires the cut of the four main sources of power at the same time, but Lupin's crew couldn't nail the timing. It also turns out that Ms. Lingfeng is obsessed with Lupin that she has a shrine dedicated to him. It was love at first sight for her as Lupin stole her heart and the Lupin system was a ploy to lure Lupin and claim him for herself.

The only way to beat a perfect system is to use brute force so getting people to cosplay as Lupin and his gang was genius way to fool the identification system and overwhelm the security staff. Things were going well until Lingfeng jammed their communication when they got into position. However, they used the catchy Wangtic song that was going around town to sync their movements and cut the power. Once that was done there was nothing to stop Lupin from cracking the safe which was more than enough to leave a lasting impression on Lingfeng who would never stop loving him.

Yeah, really enjoyed this one. Fun scenes with all four of the crew getting on each others' nerves. :P And the jingle got stuck in my head too.

Kind of reminded me a bit of the Lupin III: Green vs. Red OVA.
Funny observation - at least one chick was cosplaying as Goemon and at least one dude was cosplaying as Fujiko.

Just like Evangelion I thought matching the Lupin Gang moves to music was the most obvious way to succeed. But I really like the way the episode played out. It toyed with expectations pretty well.

I'm not a fan of the Wangtic song. But the rest of y'all should feel free to carry on.

Something literally called L system is doomed to fail. I was always wondering why no one invented such a system, tho. It's not quite that simple after all, but a crazy Lupin fangirl was still definitely the last thing I expected, lol.

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

This could have been from part II. We've seen the same plot a few times in the franchise, but this was well executed, so despite lack of originality it was enjoyable.

I'm starting to think that this season is good after all. The first cour was below average for the franchise (though still fine overall), but after episode 12 everything has been as enjoyable as I expect from Lupin.

Them using her own ad to sync up for the timing was predictable, but her staggering Lupin obsession was a twist I don't think any of us expected lmao
