Epic plot twists for 20 minutes.
It was confusing but great to see.
Zenigata was heroic.

This is Japanese episode 6. Zenigata was badass as usual, helping that woman, best episode so far.

What a lovely episode full of gentlemen. Zenigata has the upper hand.

PS: I'm a bit confused this was episode 7 in Italy.

Because Japan's not airing episode 6 on TV, for some reason. Pretty stupid if you ask me to give the episode to a foreign country but not your own lol.

I found this as Episode 6, strangely enough.

That was the coolest story I've seen in this show so far. Lots of twists and turns, and Zenigata awesomely is able to keep right on Lupin's tail.

The backstory with Elena was interesting. It made her both a mean character and a character you can sympathize with. And she doesn't really seem to be Zenigata's type but is inspired by his steadfastness to duty and protection, which is also rather refreshing.

I found this as episode 6 as well....Weird how Japan skipped the previous episode O.o

Not gonna lie....This episode has me confused a few times with all these disguises lol

Still, the ending was okay and I'm glad that the lady is using her money for good

Thanks, I'm watching the Japanese and was confused by the comments on the episode 6 forum.

Anyway I loved this episode, I loved trying to figure out who was who!

The subs can be pretty bad grammar wise, I find this episode rather sad. I mean, to betray the guy who saved your life by lowering yourself to be used to cheat on him and to be so weak you'd burn a woman instead of just dump her is pathetic if it leads you to just burn her.

I have to admit, this was the best Lupin III episode. I love how they were showing that Zenigata isn't some bumbling cop. He has a very analytical mind. Very observant. He just get bested by Lupin all the time. I'm waiting for the episode where Lupin messes up and Zenigata is there for him.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

What kind of father tried to save his daughter by firing his gun first?
I get it he's a bad father xD

Italian's dream, seems like a very dangerous substance that can cause addiction :P

Where's Goemon in all of this?
It's very unusual for him not appearing alongside with Lupin & Jigen when there's no Fujiko

Another really good episode with one misunderstanding leading to another coincidence and stuff. So Nyx is this super capable agent with godlike hearing, but also this family man who cares deeply about his kin and will go berserk if anyone dares to touch them. His daughter had one blast of an adventure while he was worried sick though.

Sure, she was almost kidnapped, but she met her beloved Rebecca, and her husband. And as if it weren't enough, she ended up getting a lot of clothes as a a form of bribe, and even Rebecca's sign. But this "Dream of Italy" keeps coming up, and it seems to be something really dangerous and important. Aaaand, the topics are out of sync. :(

Seems that this episode is making more of an overarching plot and being less episodic. Good to see more of Rebecca.

We have a glimpse on Nyx private life. His daughter is a huge Rebecca fan.

Daughter gets kidnapped. That's why kids shouldn't wander in the city alone. Luckily Lupin and Jigen couldn't get to their car, so they escaped with kidnapper's car by accident. They are thieves but not kidnapperd (or at least not peadophiles) so it all turned out good.

Rebecca's poor choice of words ("I needed her to keep her mouth shut") almost got her killed when unknowinly told that to her father. Good thing it was explained, because not only Rebecca could have died, but Nyx as well, as he was under watch of fellow MI6 agents. Who could take him down if he were too much out of control.

Dream of Italy... looks like we're getting into some bigger plot. Nice change after mostly episodic Green Jacket (1971) and Red Jacket (1977)...

Well that was a good episode. Somehow, good old 'tosan got his way, which I don't think ever happens in any of the prior series. Nice seeing his good side shine through. Looks like episode 6, 7, and 8 are ambiguously labeled in some places. I'm watching from the Japanese Blu-ray, so that's the episode order I'm going with.

Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.
