Anime Relations: Lupin III: Part III
Story

The gang attempts to steal 5000 kg worth of gold, but it's already been stolen by the time they arrive. Of course, they're the ones who're framed. Lupin assumes it's the thief duo, John and Mary, and tries to find them. Lupin is in the Alps, and Zenigata starts to chase him. But Zenigata ends up falling over, and Lupin goes to carry him. Zenigata tricks him and throws cuffs around him. A snowstorm hits, and Zenigata seeks refuge in a nearby cabin. Lupin realizes almost instantly that the old couple in the cabin are John and Mary. Meanwhile, Fujiko locates the cabin but is put at gunpoint by the bank's owner, Splading. Fujiko tries to convince him that they're not working together and not wrap her up with him, but they keep walking towards the cabin. Lupin reveals that the whole chimney is built with the gold. But the bank and police are here now to stop them. Lupin tosses a snowball, and it turns into a giant one, hitting the cabin and sliding down the mountain. Goemon cuts the cabin in half, letting the Lupin half diverge from the Zenigata/John and Mary/bank half. Things aren't much better for them since the cabin slides off a cliff and the entire gold chimney halls down.

This episode was really boring, I'm sorry. I don't know why, but snowed-in episodes from anything just kind of bore me (Spy x Family's chapter was the only time I found it fun). There's not a lot you can do because you're literally trapped in a cabin. I mean, the story about someone else stealing the stuff before the Lupgang has been done plenty of times already, so the combination of both things leads to nothing interesting.

Characters

The characters were also really boring honestly. None of the new characters were interesting, and the designs were super dull, nothing that made them stand out.

I did enjoy that Zenigata was more relevant but again, this episode is so bland, I don't care all that much.

Art/Animation

The second Lupin OP! For some reason, it starts at episode 35 in the Discotek version, but at the halfway point in the version on Crunchyroll. I don't know why; it's weird. Anyway, it definitely conveys the kookier side of the latter half of Part 3, I enjoy it. I think the first one is better, but that's just personal preference.








I love these funky letters! And I'm freaking out over Goemon with the bird. I love how much of a bird guy Goemon is ARGH!!




These scenes are super cool and remind me of Part 2's second season intro.



She doing the :3
I love Fujicakes :333
