Ideas/Overview
Apparently, Lupin the third: Half II 21 is ranked #50 of the Lupin III Half 2 episodes. To me, it was boring and predictable. Sadly, Goemon-focused episodes are typically very related. He’s in Japan and has to avenge somebody near him. He’ll initially fail in his mission for revenge, however with Jigen’s and Lupin’s help, Goemon will rise to the event and win.
The one shock factor of the episode got here from Zenigata. First, he confirmed up disguised as a Chinese language peasant trying to promote trinkets to Lupin. I believed for positive this particular person could be somebody tied to Jinkuro, and even Jinkuro himself, since we’d not met him at this level. In order that was a enjoyable shock.
Subsequent is Zenigata arresting Jinkuro for the homicide. Hanging a cope with Jinkuro in an effort to bait Goemon, and subsequently Lupin, was an excellent transfer. And it additionally protected Jinkuro, who clearly felt inferior to Goemon. In any other case, he wouldn’t need to be in secure in jail in order to not combat Goemon. That’s on high of the soiled methods Jinkuro makes use of to combat Goemon of their two clashes.
Lastly, we lose Fujiko within the episode. In Hong Kong, she flees Zenigata with Lupin and Jigen. Nonetheless, that’s the final we see of her as she doesn’t return to Japan with them. One would have thought she’d try this to get the treasure.
Last Ideas and Conclusion
In the long run, Lupin the third: Half II 21 didn’t do an entire lot for me. But it surely actually wasn’t the worst Lupin III stuff I’ve watched.
