SPOILER Abstract/Synopsis
In a Nazi Germany-like nation, a brief man in a wig, wanting like Hitler makes an anti-ugly folks speech to an enormous crowd. Lupin makes use of the second to steal a ruby from “Hatler” (Hutler), however reveals the person’s toupee because of this. Hatler has Hess deploy the military towards Lupin’s gang. Lupin offers cowl to permit Jigen and Goemon to flee with Fujiko. Lupin will get hit within the arm by a bullet. Fujiko returns with a sub-machine gun and the 2 flee to an deserted fort.

Ideas/Assessment
I assume the Japanese writers of Lupin the third: Half II 20 wished to proceed the parody prepare as they did parody scenes of the traditional film, The Nice Dictator. Granted, they did issues in an virtually Warner Brothers manner with the midget Hutler. He acted like Yosemite Sam at occasions, solely with a Hitler mustache.
Parody apart, Zenigata has virtually nothing to do within the episode as Hess assumes a lot of the inspectors position. Jigen and Goemon are barely within the episode, solely exhibiting up on the finish for the pressured, deus ex machina ending.
The one ingredient of notice is the romantic overtures between Fujiko and Lupin. This episode highlights that they actually do care lots for one another. Apart from the standard gag of Lupin attempting to make a sexual transfer on Fujiko on the finish of the episode, issues between the 2 are performed straight and real. To be sincere, the one factor that will have made their time collectively higher would have been a kiss earlier than the rope from Jigen and Goemon dropped.
Last Ideas and Conclusion
In the long run, Lupin the third: Half II 20 is a component parody, half Looney Tunes, and half “till dying do us half” romantic themes. That final ingredient is what makes the episode price watching.
