Damn and here I thought this time traveler gimmick was just a trick as some form of revenge on Lupin but turns out it was real XD

Yeah seeing Lupin deal with the fact that this is one opponent he might not be able to defeat really brought a more dire tone to the whole situation and seeing Lupin go through the stages of coping with this harsh outcome was just fantastic!

Lupin wanting to tie the knot with Fujiko was actually rather sweet ^-^ and I agree Fujiko make sure Lupin keeps his promise and takes responsibility XD

That coupled with Jigen and Goemon reacting to Lupin's vanishing and how they all teamed up to bust up that time machine and then shared in such a hearty laugh of brotherhood! Absolutely fantastic one of the best episodes :D

He did a lot of favours for someone he's trying to kill I mean eliminate from the time continuum.

I felt bad for Lupin there, but in the end he was saved. I wonder if that bit about Milene Lupin had some truth in it or was all made out.
I'm also thinking not every generation had a Lupin in it, but to think Lupin actually got married in the future was wholesome.

Yes. Does it mean that Arsène Lupin, the hero of Maurice Leblanc's stories, is actually a quarter Japanese?

This episode really had everything. It got quite dark and serious there for Lupin. Quite a pivot from the others so far.

Another epic episode entered the imagination of the spectators: Lupine who faces an almost invincible enemy like Mamou, managing to find such a brilliant stratagem, as not to forget the scene in which Lupine vanishes in front of Jigen and Goemon. The message that must be read between the lines of the events narrated is that of never giving up, we must fight to the end. In the end, however, Lupine regrets having defeated Mamou, because he awaits a worse fate, eheheheheh !!!

Great episode. For most of it it was a pretty serious episode where Lupin was legitimately scared for his life and then it ended with such a funny anti-climax

WTF?! The last few episodes were hit-or-miss, then suddenly they make this god-tier episode? Man. This episode stands far above the previous episodes. 10/10

A bit weird that Lupin has two evil scientist nemesis obsessed with long-term planning named Mamou (魔毛)  and Mamo (マモー), I got confused for a moment.

Rather disappointed the twist was that the time travel ended up being real. I was wondering what the real trick behind it was but there was no trick, it was genuine. Did not expect sci-fi elements in a series that seemed grounded in reality. So what's next, actual ghosts and aliens? Not sure I like that implication. I guess ultimately it was no more silly than the episode where he rotted a year of his life away in prison out of spite.

Also he killed the guy who built the castle (and presumably the horse's ancestor too), but he merely "hid" Fujiko? I'd have preferred the inverse in all actuality...

I've seen the movie, so I knew this episode was coming.
I didn't really have any expectations, but I was disappointed.
Ignoring the time-travel discrepancy, as well as the non-sense that surrounds it.
as the guy above said, "he killed the guy who built the castle (and others) but merely hid Fujiko".
But also, Mamou said the world was in danger, then decides to kill Lupin since Lupin the 13th killed his descendant. So, is the world really in danger? Especially, why is the conflict revolving around Lupin the 3rd? Wouldn't it make more sense to revolve around either the 13th or the original? And if it's not the 13th, why try to torture them the way he's been doing it?
Then, for the finale. What's the use in doing what Lupin did? Couldn't he have done pretty much the same thing without tricking him like that? He did get Mamou to exit the time travel machine and walk into the church mere moments earlier, not like he could have gotten to his machine before Lupin shot him, Jigen shot him or Goemon sliced him or his machine up. Especially in this version of Lupin, where they actually kill people sometimes.
All in all, I didn't dislike the episode premise, nor did I dislike the events themselves, but I can't get over how dumb it is.
