| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A bit of revisionist history there... Fidel was never that popular... But more importantly, no Lupin = less fun, and Fujiko's un-suntanned boobs can't make up for that... |
| Quite a boring ep. I don't have nothing against more serious approach but the story didn't pique my interest and Goemon's presence felt kinda forced. But Fiedel was a one sexy beast. That's my two cents, waiting for future episodes. |
| So this Episode Starts out with Fujiko getting beat, how dare they damage such a fine woman, Anyways so we have Fujiko Dress up as a reporter "Aka april from ninja turtles' on the roof with Fidel, look back and see what im talking out haha So we have Fidel Castro type scenario didnt like this ep some much. But Fujiko, at the end made up for it, wouldnt be an episode without at lease one Nude Fujiko and her Nice Tanline boobs >.> |
| i did not like this episode much since i got poor knowledge about history |
| So the Cuban Missile Crisis was averted by a samurai riding a biplane? And Alaska was Communist? I really need to brush up on my history. Apart from this episode having an absurd concept, the animation budget seems to be in a sorry state of affairs. |
| LOL Fatlantic ocean... Goemon is so cool in this episode :D |
| Conflated Fidel and Che a little bit there in terms of rock star status (Che Guevara still is a popular poster decades after his death), but a fascinating episode none-the-less. And I certainly believe that Mine could start or end a third world war without breaking a sweat... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Funny episode xD |
 |
| That's how I remember Goemon, doing crazy stuff with his katana. It was too bad that we learned almost nothing about Fujiko's character in this episode. |
j0x said: i did not like this episode much since i got poor knowledge about history I didn't like it even more since I have some knowledge regarding that period of time... No Lupin, no stealing, no action. 2/5 - the worst episode thus far. |

| This episode was just okay. Outside of its (laughably) revisionist history scenario it had nothing going for it, except maybe Goemon cutting those missiles and a plane towards the ending. That wasn't enough to make this interesting though. |
| Ara ara. |
| What the Cuban Missile Crisis? This episode was interesting if only to see Goemon prevent a nuclear war. I don't remember if it was the most ridiculous thing Goemon has done, but it certainly had the biggest consequence. Not that an episode loosely based on history was a bad idea, but Fujiko and Goemon were awkwardly written in, even with minor roles. Dai Sato's scripts in this show have been quite disappointing. |

| Goemon coming out of nowhere and cutting those missiles, preventing World War III in the process was funny. Pretty much the only reason he was in this episode. That and the whole revisionist history thing they had going on here. Other than that, this episode was okay I guess. Didn't do much for me. We at least got to see Fujiko with her tan-boobs. |
| It was a parody of history, not revisionist history. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| So much time wasted on establishing a setting that only led to a subpar airplane scene and will be all forgotten about next week. Worst episode again, it's going downhill after such a promising start. |
| ^the last episode was great, as was the one before that. true, nothing has topped episode 1, and this episode was probably the weakest, but all the others have been good so i dont know what you're complaining about. Especially considering this show stands out as completely unique and a breath of fresh air in the stagnating anime industry |

And yeah, Fidel was sexy as a MF this episode. |
  |
| A good episode overall. I agree that it is probably the weakest of them all but still enjoyable. |
 |
Blackiris said: no stealing, no action. I think there was action. It's most tactical battle whit air jets and nukes but it has tension. And about the stealing. Fujiko just stole Fidel, if she didn't then the WW III begin. |
| Wow, that's cool, I was just learning about the Cuban Missile Crisis last week in Socials class. It bugged me how the airplane stuff was so not legit. How can a sword cut through two missiles AND the shell of a plane? And how could that samurai guy maintain his balance? Not to mention there's probably little to no oxygen up at that level... Okay, I'm going to stop nitpicking; it's anime. |
itsvero said: How can a sword cut through two missiles AND the shell of a plane? And how could that samurai guy maintain his balance? Not to mention there's probably little to no oxygen up at that level... Okay, I'm going to stop nitpicking; it's anime. Uh, You really need to watch some of the Lupin movies. This is Goemon, it's what he does. In fact he is being rather tame with his sword in this show. He hasn't cut any buildings in half yet or giant holes in the ground. Back to the episode though, It was pretty weak; Fujiko gets into a plane then Goemon slices two missiles in half; episode over. Lame. In fact this show overall is pretty weak. Not enough Lupin in his own show and if your going to focus on Fujiko, she needs to do more than just stand around and be sexy, which itself is a little hard to do with the retro animation style. |

endlessabyss said: I find the history part of the episode uninteresting even though it is based on an actual historical event. I have no prior knowledge to it nor do I have interest learning about it. Also... It wouldn't hurt you to learn a little bit about it - it was as close as the world ever got to total nuclear war... |
| ...... BS! BS! BS! I have been very lenient with the impossible stunt of this show, but this Samurai cutting missiles on the back of a plane is just too much BS for me! BS! |

| Very good ep. |
| <3 this show. |
 |
| I found it pretty interesting, and Fujiko's boobs definitely made up for the lack of Lupinity, lmao. |
| This is the most boring episode. But, I like Gaemon. He's cute. :) |

That's because it isn't Castro. ;) Names have been changed to protect the guilty or are weak in western history. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| omg, Cuban Missile Crisis O____o"" again in the episode didn't show Lupin =( again boobs Mine Fujiko ><"" boring episode (( |
 |
| "A samurai cut a missile?!" Yeah dude, I don't get it either. |
 |
| Guys, that wasn't Fidel. That was Che Guevara with just a bit of Fidel sprinkled on him. In any case, a bit of a weird revision of history chapter. The moment when Gaemon shows up on top of the plane slicing missiles up was a bit of face palm moment I must admit. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| I liked this way better than the last episode. The changed names made me laugh, too. I don't get why people complain about the missile slicing. It's not Lupin III if it isn't in some way absurd. |
| "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 |
| I wasn't really feeling this one honestly, it was kinda boring. Which is ironic given my interest in history. Goemon's always been my least favorite of the Lupin regulars so just him and Fujiko struggled to keep my interest. All the jumping around in time didn't really help either. |
| Geopolitics, TOP KEK. South America is fucking massive, makes me wonder if the country from Michiko and Hatchin is in there too lolol Carib= Cuba with the name of the original tribe of the island. Fidel Castro's position with Che Guevara's appearance and backstory. Oblong office of Yamerica (Y from Yank presumably?) Communist with crescent moon (ironic as USA was similarly placing missiles in Turkey) Epic Goemon on the biplane Krushchin (Krushchev +Stalin) probably sent his subordinate to the gulag after that. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Strange episode again, quite ridiculous. It's just Fujiko seems to be everywhere and the timeline is confusing. I'd like it more if it wasn't so episodic. |

| WTF! Who whipping Fujiko? I want to whip Fujiko. Who is that guy? Princesa? lol Fiadel Kestro. Goemon is back. Damn. She got hit in the face. Goemon on top of the plane....slicing missiles. LOL Goemon prevented WW3. Holy shit! Fujiko oppai. Dem nipples. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Nice episode! No Lupin, No Jigen. I'm guessing both will appear in the next episode. Lol Goemon cutting those missiles on high altitudes while carrying both Fujiko and Kaestro. He even prevented World War III!!!! Fujiko's boobs are so nice! |
| I'm starting to hate that they changed the dynamic between Goemon and Fujiko so much. There's really no need for most of the main cast to be in love with her. |
| So this is based on the real Fidel Castro during Cold War "A samurai cut a missile", a sentence I never thought I'd hear xD While Jigen is close to the original Goemon stay in love with Fujiko Without knowing what kind of monster Fujiko is :P |
"Signature removed"   |
| The structure of this one kind of annoyed me at first, going back and forth between the past and the hijacking incident, but it was really cool. Fujiko and Goemon met again, and they worked together to prevent a worldwide conflict. |
 |
| Goemon on that plane, tho. Most accurate portrayal of historical events. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This has been the silliest episode so far and I assume Mine sensed the episode was ending so she must have thought "the girls need some air" -3- |
