Episode 4
"Zenigata’s Pride and the Desert Dust”​

Previously:
Lupin fled with Ami to a warehouse-type building. Ami used her hacking skills to activate parts of the vehicle assembly line in the building. This caused chaos and took out some of the assassins. Lupin stole a car still missing its doors, but Ami got shot in the arm by the old hillbilly assassin. Marco Polo believed that Lupin was soon to be done for. Elsewhere, Zenigata got the latest news from Yata. Zenigata immediately put in a letter requesting vacation, stating that he was going to take time off in Bwanda.

Lupin and company had holed up in a converted railroad cargo car that was now used as a barber shop. Here, Lupin and Goemon treated Ami’s wound. To distract her from the pain, Ami recounted how she was kidnapped as a child for porn purposes, but when her kidnappers discovered her programming skills, they decided she’d be more valuable to them as a programmer in the dark web.

After Ami fell asleep, Lupin taunted the assassins. Fujiko was on a plane and saw the taunt and was prepared to go in. When Ami woke up, she hacked into the betting site to discover who was betting for which day Lupin would die. Lupin used this to have many of the assassins turn on each other as they had lots of money tied up in the betting pool. Goemon and Jigen mopped up stragglers as Ami inquired about Lupin having sex with her, which she’s interested in as she’s a virgin. Lupin turned her down and denied Fujiko is the cause.

Soon, only the old hillbilly leader was left, so Lupin went out to meet him. Lupin killed the old man, thanks to a hidden piece in his shoe. Ami came out to join Lupin and observed a jet passing overhead. A figure parachuted out and landed. It was Fujiko, who greeted Lupin. Ami hid behind Lupin as he talked to Fujiko. Fujiko reminded him she’d never be the one chasing Lupin. He stated the same in reverse. She reminded him that he once stole her at her wedding. Fujiko pulled a gun, stating she should be the one to kill Lupin.

This time:
With Fujiko and a group of soldiers now hunting Lupin, Zenigata finds himself in the strange position of needing to save his arch nemesis!

Note:
  • Starting tonight, Lupin the Third will be on at an earlier time of 12:30am.

Previously on Lupin III: Ah, Fujiko Mine. The Molotov Cocktease to Lupin's Brock Samson.

Huh. So Japanese computers automatically convert Hiragana into Kanji......sorry, Japanese language nerd here.

Last time: Not every day Carmen Sandiego fins you.

"When do you think Lupin III will die?"
Well, not this week, I hope. We're on't four episodes into this season.

And coming in second...

Saved by Zenigata. Oh, the eye-row-knee.

Forget Fujiko. I think Zenigata is Lupin's true soul mate.

Zenigata: Lupin, I can't let you die. Otherwise, who will I chase to the ends of the earth?

Oh hai mercifully not racist African kid.

Oh, Zeni. Time for you to get with the times and get GPS.

Yes, with the Internet, anyone can be anything. Gone are the days of hard work, study, and accredited degrees.

If Jigen hadn't been in Bwanda with Lupin, I would've thought that man was him in disguise.

Ami has a nice sense of humor after all.

C'mon Zenigata, just admit your love for Lupin!

Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see Lupin?

Deserts are overrated. Cram it, Lawrence of Arabia.

Not all of Family Guy has aged well (and he knows this - hell, he's friends with the PTC president now) but I genuinely think Seth MacFarlane is a really good guy.

Imagine a broadcast TV network giving someone who worked at the Golden Age of Cartoon Network the opportunity to worked on a show, and doing 8 interviews, only to completely ghosted him for weeks for absolutely no reason.



Try to wrap your head around on that one, folks.

Seriously. Explain that to me, Memorable Entertainment Television? :/
Didn't notice that the site was back...

I'll start off by saying X-Men 97 has been a blast to watch. As someone who grew up exposed to the films and cameos on other shows, it was definitely a different treat seeing how both iterations of the franchise handle the characters and their world.
Professor X's speech in today's episode was powerful ... nuff said.
I've ground my wisdom tooth down overtime so that I can clench my jaw properly again. It's equal parts good and bad news.
Daffy Duck turns 87 today. Happy birthday to my favorite Looney Tune!
