Zenigata's dance with Catherine was amusing. Again, the facial expressions put a smile on my face for their wackiness.

Man, I do love an episode where Lupin actually gets away with the goods. A little obvious the cat had the jewel, but what else should we expect from Lupin III...

I felt so happy for Zenigata when he got to dance with two lovely ladies. He seems to be a man married to his work which is to capture Lupin.

I noticed Catherine is Fujiko (Masuyama, Eiko) from sequel Lupin series.

Fujiko as Margaret looks so much like Nausicaa.

The poor cat :(
Despite being predictable it was fun to see Catherine toy around with them for a while. I'm definitely feeling the need for more Goemon though :>
I probably regret this post by now.

Heh, well that was interesting seeing someone one up Lupin, but she did it just one too many times.

A victim that actually had a few moments of triumph. Lupin still won in the end, although I was expecting Fujiko to throw him off the glider at any moment.

How does that saying go? "If you play with fire, you're going to get burned." I'd say that fits this episode.

EVERYONE WAS HERE (even though Jigen and Goemon just appeared for a few seconds)

Lupin and Fujiko against Zenigata and the Princess Diana or something lel

I think Catherine was supposed to be based on Grace Kelly. It's nice to have a victim who (almost) has Lupin and Fujiko's numbers.

Cmon Zenigata, what shabby detective work not to notice that Nipul = Lupin inversed smh
Was a nice episode, Lupin and Fujiko have a nice dynamic when they're actually cooperating.

So Magic Kaito lifted almost a whole episode from Lupin III...or it supposed to be a homage?
Too many similarities here and in the Napoleon's cards episode.

Catherine is too aware, maybe she's there to steal it too

Zenigata's eyes, he can't understand Catherine xD
Nipul? You mean Lupin backward?
Zenigata is truly dandy, he can dance quite well

Finally the smug face is gone from Catherine when she realized the real one is gone
What a funny episode especially when Catherine toyed around with Lupin "It's on top of the mast.. is not the place, inside pool is not the place too" xD

I love this episode! A heist in a party out in the open sea? Thrilling stuff! And that was one cunning woman too. She played around with Zenigata, Lupin, and even Fujiko! The way she playfully gave false information about the whereabouts of the jewel, knowing that Lupin would look for it even atop a mast, was really funny too. But Lupin and Fujiko won in the end! Oh, Jigen and Goemon played small roles this time, but it was nice to see them dressed as chefs.

This episode was pretty straight forward but it was a lot of fun and especially funny XD

Zenigata really stole the show in this one with his passionate dance moves! And he said he did not know how to dance Western style XD take note everyone if you want to shine as vibrantly as Zenigata on the dance floor you have got to incorporate those facial expressions into your routine :D

It really seemed like he was happy and having fun even if the ladies he danced with were just using him! Also, Lupin listening in and running all over the ship to find the location of emerald was just hilarious; just great comedic timing!

But, Lupin and Fujiko actually working together, succeeding and coming out on top in a heist!?!? O.O a rarity thus, far but it is great how they work together their dynamic is just golden ^-^

That's what Catherine gets for taking Lupin for granted, Zenigata tried several times to help her.
That cat sure was creepy, having jewel-like eyes.
Nice teamwork from Lupin and Fujiko, and also Jigen & Goemon for making that cake.

Yet another memorable episode, even if the plot is very telegraphed, however at the narrative level it is too funny; at certain moments I burst out laughing more than once. Daring episode and pulled to the end, excellent soundtrack that supported the events in the best possible way.

I'm not saying this in an accusing way, but I recognise you as the person who keeps contributing those synopses and character bios to Lupin Wiki.


So I'm not saying it sarcastically, but I thank you.

I take it this is the sort of energy that's going to continue on for the rest of the Lupin III series. If so, I'm game for it, I really liked this episode. Not very serious, just super goofy all around, everybody is being played for a fool, exactly the sort of thing I love with the anime I watch.

One of the few episodes actually enjoyable. Without all those horrible plot twists, weird solutions and stupid confrontations.

Predictable, yet amusing. Lupin shines when it isn't trying to bite off more than it can chew.

Miyazaki and Takahata's more silly and whimsical style shines through here.

Short-haired Fujiko is best Fujiko.

Easy 5/5. Hilarious episode that's focused on one thing and set in one location. The interplay between the four characters was great.

It was nice seeing them give Zenigata a few enjoyable moments. Guy is probably going to die of a heart attack from all the stress chasing after Lupin puts him through. There were a lot of funny moments where I laughed out loud. I felt bad for the cat.

Boo, the preview from last episode ruined the surprise by showing the cat with the eyepatch. When you see it appear here without the eyepatch it's easy to connect the dots. It still wouldn't be too hard to figure out, but I wish they hadn't outright spoiled it. I usually skip previews but just happened to see it last time. What really hurt the episode was the lack of Jigen.

Simple clean fun, and watching the inspector dance and act a fool was cute.
