Earlier than Zenigata fell asleep, he tossed finger cuffs on Lupin. Whereas Lupin makes an attempt to flee, Jigen steals a automobile and pursues the gangsters.

Ideas/Evaluation
As episodes go, Lupin the third: Half II 26 wasn’t dangerous. Positive, there have been some dumb moments. For a begin, there was the silliness with Zenigata and cuffs. Along with the gag aspect, the cuffs have been used in order that Jigen may get some solo time because the hero. As such, I used to be okay with that little bit of nonsense. On the opposite facet, the Fujiko android made zero sense to me. How good that after exploding, her torso remained upright and the video monitor undamaged.
As revenge plots go, I’d have cherished it if the Nazi submarine incident had been a earlier Lupin III episode. Nonetheless, this episode did an honest job exhibiting how Jigen and Lupin are as companions. Even whereas reacting emotionally, Lupin and Jigen have been in a position to determine that the opposite was legit, thus ensuing within the faux deaths.
Whereas Jigen all the time will get tragic romances, at the very least right here, his relationship with Linda isn’t a reunion with a misplaced love. Nonetheless, it sucks that he by no means will get a great finish with the women.
Fujiko will get forgotten within the episode. She’s principally a McGuffin to get Lupin concerned. The hilarious factor about her position within the story is that she was supposedly on her option to Tokyo to purchase Japanese meals so Goemon can eat. As such, there’s an ongoing gag about Goemon’s abdomen growling as a result of he refuses to eat Spanish meals.
Closing Ideas and Conclusion
In the long run, Lupin the third: Half II 26 isn’t a foul episode. It may have been higher, however in comparison with a few of the earlier episodes, it’s sensible. 😅
