It feels so good to watch Lupin, and this special was great too. I love these characters so much by now that every little interaction between them is pretty much a treat. Like when they were driving to get to the Kingdom. I really like Yata since he first appeared in Part V too, but I feel like he never shone like this before. That scene in which he grabbed a weapon and started shooting to help Zenigata and Jigen was really cool. Just like the way he went along with the flow and got along with Lupin and his team while they worked together for that brief time. I'm glad they brought him back for this. And Goemon arriving to help them after they shot down the helicopter was also great. I don't know about prophecies coming true, but I also loved that Goemon taught Fio how to slice a bullet and how Fio ended up being the "Swordsman of Light" himself. Well, at least that's a take you can have like Lorensa did. xD
And Finnegan was one cunning fellow. He took the King hostage in a cruel way, and was ready to take the Kingdom for himself by taking Fio's identity. I do love this kind of story. But he didn't know that Fio was still alive until Lorensa told the king so, right? How did he end up with the same long hair? xD Well, I guess it doesn't matter all that much. And I thought Fujiko would be long gone with the treasure before that missile blew it up, but she waited for Lupin, Jigen and Goemon so they could get away together instead. That was unexpected. lol She did try to get it all later with those other thieves, but Lupin's team was faster and got at least a box for themselves. xD And I loved the analogy with the sandwich, and how Goemon was able to find his answer of why he stays with them. A very short moment that was moving to be honest. So... Can we have more Lupin already? |
