I wish it had more episodes/more than 21 mins per ep because some parts felt rushed like Enzo not giving a crap about Ami to him suddenly caring when she gets in the way of him shooting Lupin. Why would learning that she's Underworld change his mind? We needed more on his past with his wife.

That mask bit. I'm going to ignore it. I've already read a bunch of comments about it.

Still it was all good.

If we get more Lupin soon it'll probably be set after the Goemon's Blood Spray special or some random one-off thing, we won't see a part 6 for a while but I like to be proven wrong.

(has anyone seen the "Is Lupin Still Burning" special that was released with the 1st Part 5 dvd set)

Bring back Albert and Ami in the future. I want to see Albert and Lupin at odds again and I want to see a how a adult Ami seduces Lupin.

Hell yeah! This was great! It had a near perfect balance that I just really appreciate a lot. We got to see these beloved characters in some really tough spots-- both situational and emotional. That's what's so nice about a GOOD sequel; they try to give MORE to the characters while still staying true to them. A lot of sequels/spin offs just don't when they should (not counting purposely out-of-character, spin off parodies like, let's just say Teen Titans Go). I really feel like this new addition did a lot of things really well. I want to say that maybe one episode was out of place when it came to the overall tone of the show, but I was still amused by it.

I did think Enzo's kinda sudden change of heart for Ami was... odd. Most of their interactions were pretty distant, and then for him to say that he couldn't shoot her was kinda like... huh? Okay. I mean, maybe if it was a latent, kinda hidden love for his daughter and actually being in the situation where he maybe had to make a decision to shoot her or not made him realize or reveal that he cared more for her than he let on... but if that's the case then they didn't make it too clear.;;

Overall though, this was such a fun ride!

I apologize for my bad English. The show was a 10/10 but on the mask I have a doubt. In a chapter Lupine suggests that he won the position of "Lupine" to Albert: Is not it that the place of Lupine III comes with the mask? Since the show has 5 parts, it will not be different people with the same mask who won being considered "The best thief in the world".? That is why Lupine will not change and will be eternal, at least that is how I understood it.

Now that's what I call an epic finale to one of the best series this year had to offer, I pretty much started to get into Lupin thanks to this anime, and I have to say, I don't regret making that choice.

The only thing that felt really ehhhh, and spoils this a little bit is Enzo's showing his love for Amy, and for Lupin, it feels more like "Hey, let's rewrite him" rather than a natural progression, and is just one of those things that you can't just redo. But despite all that, this finale and this last arc was glorious.

Long Live Lupin the Third!

They definitely delivered the climax Lupin teasered at the end of ep 23.
Such a great episode - several references to older parts of the series such as Cagliostro and twists that honestly completely caught me off guard.

I think my favourite moment from the episode was the scene at the top, especially for the choice of music there:
It's Lupin's theme whistled and played on cembalo. It was used in part IV (ep 10 I think) already and since then it's been one of my favourite pieces from any soundtrack. The use in this particular scene just felt so nice and almost had me in tears.

Overall a great episode, and a great series as well. Looking forward to the next part! (9/10)

Rebecca made her appearance at the last episode
I guess the goodbye wasn't real
Hey it's Diana from Harimao's Treasure

So Lupin's face is just a mask?
I prefer this Lupin though.. that reveal is ehh
I guess necessary for this episode's plot

Why did suddenly Enzo become good?
I mean probably because Ami is a famous hacker, he's proud of her
But still, way too sudden 180°

Pretty fun ending
But I still prefer Da Vinci's ending

Where's part 6? Oh wait this isn't Jojo xD

That was awesome!! This was my first full season of Lupin III. I've only watched the movies before but this was great. I love the modern twists to this because it was in 2018.

Looking forward to more in the future!

Great finale!!

Glad to see Rebecca here! Even had Mirage's Sniper and her daughter from Jigen's episode.

https://lupin.fandom.com/wiki/Mirage_(mother)

Though why did Diana appeared from the seventh special of Lupin. Which came out in 1995!

https://lupin.fandom.com/wiki/Diana_Archer

Kinda random tbh. I feel like Rebecca was enough since Part 4 and Part 5 are the "modern" Lupin series.

So, basically Lupin's secret is that he has a different identity altogether?! O_O

WTF! No way!!

Yeah, Seeing Fujiko tied down to Lupin and staying in one place. It just not them tbh. There's no thrill, excitement or anything.

This is why, it's always good to have some "secrets" between two people. If everyone knows everything about them. It'll be a pretty boring relationship with no revelations watsoever.

Still, Ami's father feels like a copout. So it is true that Ami is his daughter afterall. Even naming her daughter as a another word for "net".

Amazing stuff! I plan on watching Movies and Specials afterwards. Especially the Fujiko Lie Movie which is a sequel to the other two movies (Goemon and Jigen).

Definitely better than Part 4!! 9/10!

Can't wait for more Lupin goodness!!!!

Man that ending was just perfect. Kinda like how they handled enzo’s character. Rebecca is back for an episode and I love it. Wasn’t sure if part 5 was gonna top part 4 from me, but this last arc might have done it. I dunno what they are gonna work with if they do a part 6.

Meh, Im thinking I might like Part 4 more after this arc (will rewatch). Yuji Ohno soundtrack was beyond amazing the whole time though, it might be his best ost yet?
Arc 1 and 2 were really good and the fillers were good as well. Arc 3 and particularly arc 4 kinda dropped the ball for me.
So Lupin has a different face? Ok.. Everything Felt like too much of a cop out during the final arc but it was fun a ride. Hopefully we can get a Part 6 sometime soon.

She wants a bit of thrill and acknowledegment/validation, yet still be independent. Fujiko is a female after all. I was honestly expecting more drama or rather said something crazier from this storyline, but I appreciate the focus on their relationship. For sure one of the benefits of this season. In the end they keep the status quo, as it should be. Lupin real face reveal was a bit of a wtfer in this xD Was is it only to prove how much he cares? Or something along the lines of look, there's even more to me? I'm not quite sure how to interpret this without digging deeper. He keeps being a mystery and that's what makes him so attractiveour man even became a harem protagonist

Great wrap up overall and showed what this series can do with an overarching narrative. It was satisfying to see how all these characters came into play. I love that feeling of when everything is connected and it elevated these latest Lupin's parts. (besides that every single episode was entertaining on it's own) For my taste there could've been another episode just for the sake of pacing That's just a nitpick, tho.

8,5/10

Hyped for Part VI. I wonder how they're trying to surpass this one.

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

That was quite an explosive finale.

The finale sort of puts things in a new context: this show is about identity, about who you are under the view of the whole world. All those episodes with different jackets showcase different aspects of Lupin (and his friends too) at different eras.

I'm a little surprised the gang had to re-assess themselves, but then again they've been such a mix of friends and enemies throughout their history that I can understand them needing to sort things out.

I enjoyed the cameos from Rebecca and Diana (didn't expect her back), as well as seeing everyone cheer on Lupin. I enjoyed hearing the Lupin Samba theme, that was fun.



It looks like Albert is set up to become a rival for the next Blue Jacket show. He had a great setup for this show, I hope it follows through.


The mask part was Lupin's face being the mask, he escaped Enzo's App because nobody had ever seen his real face. He also showed it to Fujiko to show her how much she means to him.


But the real question is if his real face is the same as his mask.

What a phenomenal finale to a truly special series. I loved every second I spent watching this show, the formula of TV Special length arcs with fantastic throwback "filler" episodes inbetween just works so well. Then the Lupin and Fujiko storyline was just perfect. Every character got a chance to shine throughout, Ami was a great addition and I was always happy to have her back. Even Enzo in the end turned out to be an interesting villian. The callbacks/references to prior Lupin outings had me yelping with exictement each time. So while cheap, moments like Diana and the golden sub appearing were very effective on me.

I'm finding it hard to really express how much fun I had with the show, I think will be giving this a 10/10. I mean I literally just watched the final 8 episodes and the OVA in a single sitting. The series grabbed me, so despite the odd flaw I'm happy to overlook it because damn this is the best time I've had with modern Lupin by far. Not to say the last decade has been bad, far from it in fact, just that this series won me over and then some.

At last, the great finalle.
Rebecca from Italian Adventure is back. Among others.

Enzo finally trying to be a father to Amy. Too bad they had to nearly die on collapsing building to get there.

Politicans declaring a war on PeoplesLog. Of course they're not gonna like the idea of the world with no secrets, since it takes away all control they had.

Overall, it was pretty fun series.
