Fujiko is still devious as ever.

However, the episode is much more about that and once again, we have Lupin traveling with Ami Enan on their adventure. I'm starting to like Enan more now too. She's showing more personality and being more open to others.

That scene with Enan putting her face in the water was captivating.

Zenigata is one of the best antagonists in anime.

I bet that if Goemon was with them he could have cut that helicopter in half pretty easily.

Lupin and Zenigata teamwork is always refreshing to watch since its one of those rare moments and Ami got some nice development. And that thrilling cliffhanger though...! Again so hype to see how this situation continues next episode!

This was a really great episdoe. it's always fun to see Zenigata and Lupin being forced to work together, seeing as they have such a fantastic dynamic. I'm starting to lke Ami alot more as well, although I wish that the other supporting charracters had been in this one a bit more.

I'm guessing becasue of what I assume was
that this story arc is going to be over and I kind of hope that they go back to big heists for at least a few episdoes before the next big thing begins.

Zenigata to the rescue! In what was probably my favorite episode so far. Loved the chemistry between he, Lupin and Ami. Who was quite the badass taking down that chopper btw. XD I do wonder how far they'll take this "Fujiko is now my enemy" thing they're trying to push, but more on that later I suppose. For now as Zenigata mentioned in the preview it looks like Lupin has faked his own death to try and get the game shut down for good so let's see how that goes. Also, there were quite a few stunningly beautiful background shots this week I noticed.

Amazing again <3 I'm so grateful to see Ami growing as a character. Yes, she is young and does need help from the adults, but she can save herself too u-u
I'm SO HAPPY that they did not try to play the whole "Lupin is dead omg" for too long. I have always gotten bored when they do this in any Lupin anime and, at the end of the episode, I thought they were going to repeat this same thing again. But oh boi, I was wrong, this part is just way better than I had expected and they did not let this happen.
Also, am I the only one enjoying all the teasing about Lupin relationship with Jigen and now with Zenigata?? Hahaha it's just too good, the staff knows what they are doing

Holy s**t that was a fantastic cliffhanger! Of course I believe Lupin isn't dead yet sheesh but what a stunning way to end this episode, wow! :D

I'm liking Ami more & more and she was able to express her joy & relief in this episode. She's growing as a character and that's some nice character development from her this week. She even managed to successfully take down a helicopter with that trap! Impressive! I also really like seeing Lupin & Zenigata working together. :) They make a really great team. xD

Totally excited for next episode already as I was really left hanging by how this episode ended. What a shocking turn of events!

Well I guess it's safe to say that Lupin bet on his own death to once again steal all the loot. Really funny bits of comedy throughout this too. This series continues to be a lot better than the last.

My favorite Lupin/Zenigata team up is Voyage to Danger, if you haven't seen it.

Zenigata can try to deny it all he wants but we know that deep down he considers lupin a friend. I will say though ami saying that lupin and zenigata are lovers had me laughing hard. I'm surprised that the windmill didn't turn out to be a mirage, but that begs the question what is a windmill doing in the middle of a desert? that ending can't wait to hear the explanation on that.

what is a windmill doing in the middle of a desert?

An oasis (there were some trees) and somebody put windmill to pump out water from the underground source.
Who put it there? Locals, maybe this oasis is part of caravan route or something.
Also it was close to the border, maybe the patrol guards are using it.

Oh no! Lupin's dead!! This is Jigen's Gravestone all over again!!!



It's always fun to see Lupin and Zenigata interact with one another, as you get the sense that despite being on opposing sides of the law there's an intense respect they hold for one another. Makes you wish they could all have a drink with one another as friends like in the ending huh?

Hopefully we're not going to be left in suspense with Fujiko's story for long, the anticipation's killing me 😂.

Well, Steins;Gate 0 deserves a score that high.

But Lupin deserves it too.

I really hope this ends up being the first Lupin series that scores above an 8 on here because it’s damn fantastic so far and absolutely deserves it. I mean, the series is already deserving of way higher rankings but MAL is just pathetically biased against almost any retro anime or classics prior to the 90’s.

Yet another fantastic episode, every time I think they can’t possibly top the previous episode they blow me away yet again. Anybody who isn’t watching is missing out on easily one of the best shows of the season,

The poor girl. ;_; It's like "she" got paranoid of all the romance fiasco since 2016 so she's just going to ship two guys she sees who are actively conversing with each other because it looks more fun so why not? xP

Eh, there I could use so many jokes about yuri, twincest and Ram's tsun-tsun.... But I'll keep myself in hand :D. But, looking on latest news about Masamune-kun's last chapters, I still hope for White Fox and Tappei.

Zenigata is here! I always enjoy seeing the rivalry/friendship between the ultimate anime cop/robber.

Fujiko's encounter didn't last too long. And something serious must have happened if Jigen and Goemon are angry with her too.

Ami gets some decent development time. She handled the desert better than I expected, and was able to emote better. And LOL at her now including Zenigata as Lupin's lover.

Even though Lupin took a bullet, I really doubt it killed him. We're only 4 episodes in after all. And the preview of course gives away the ploy.

But it looks like the coming end of a mini-arc, where Lupin finishes dealing with Marco Polo, and may now head to France.

Man, I'm loving this anime, the aesthetics and how Lupin and Ami use the social medias as traps is simply fantastic. Looks like the crew is going back to France, or Europe and the chase will return.

The contrast that this episode and the third made about Fumiko and Ami is subtle yet fascinating, In one side, you have a Femme fatale and in the other one, a nerd that never saw the daylight and never refreshed her face in some dirty water. Ami was so adorable on that scene.

Oh, and Lupin teaming up with his nemesis? This show really stands from everything of this season, I mean it.

Right now, I'm giving it a 9/10 score and this episode is well deserving of a 5/5

Zenigata doesn't matter what you say, you clearly love Lupin
I mean you said it in part 3, while crying xD

Well that's it RIP Lupin
Nah it's Lupin, this anime called Lupin MC can't die xD
He also faked many deaths in part 1-3
Those duo-assassins probably Jigen & Goemon

Amazing episode! It shows Amy despite being cut off with the outside world for 15 years. She can still show some emotion and life.

Fujiko is finally back in the game! I'm sure there's an ulterior motive into hunting down Lupin as always.

It's obvious Lupin is not dead. Wouldn't be surprised if they pulled something similar like what he did in Jigen's movie.

Anyways can't wait to see more!

Zenigata to the rescue! I love that he was embarrassed when Ami saw him as Lupin's friend, but totally flustered when she brought up the possibility of them being lovers. xD Lupin's teasing made the scene even better. lol And the journey through the desert was torturing, but at least Lupin could entrust Ami to Zenigata's care. I'm sure he can help her live a more "normal" life. And the game had to end, but of course Lupin didn't die, can't wait to see what really happened.

Nothing goes above an episode with the good ol Zenigata. His knowledge has become expendable due to the advancement of tech, but the bromance will never diesecretly we all know it's romantic love

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

Nice cliffhanger, although obviously Lupin can't die, and moreover the sniper spat out a twisted cigarette, which was a hint that maybe it was Jigen.

I hope the game truly is over now because those internet comments are annoying.

It's nice to see Amy's improving and starting to feel emotions.

Too bad there are still people trying to kill them - including the military.

Zenigata being gay for Lupin, lol XD. Well, he really isn't, but Lupin's trolling was funny.

Well, Lupin got shot. He can't be dead, it's just the 4th episode. I guess he'll survive... somehow.
