Lupin the Third Part VI

Episode 3
”Adventure Along the (Bogus) Transcontinental Railroad”​

Last time:

Spoiler

Lily fainted after seeing Lupin, while he and Fujiko escaped Zenigata. Holmes vowed to catch Lupin and told Lestrade how Lupin was involved in the death of his partner, John H. Watson, 10 years earlier. At their hideout, Lupin explained to the crew about the legend of the "Raven" society and its mysterious treasure, who were then surprised to learn his connection to Holmes.

When Lily awoke, she told Holmes that she remembered Lupin from her past. Zenigata and Yata inspected Faulkner's Black Drawing Room, where Lestrade offered to work together to capture Lupin. Holmes managed to track down Lupin and his crew in an abandoned building and warned him to stay away from Lily and leave London for good. He also led Zenigata and the British police to the hideout, but Lupin destroyed the building while he and his crew made their escape.

Back at Holmes' house, Lily had a recollection of Lupin standing over the body of her dead father and holding a gun. Meanwhile, Albert was recovering in the hospital where his men told him that Lupin had left England.

This time:
Lupin is after a historic railway ticket in the possession of Duke Marquis.

Note:

• Tonight, for one week only, Lupin is jumping to the earlier time slot of 12:30am. Next week, it'll be settling into its new regular time at 1am.

LUPIN'S LONDON PLAYLIST

Since this one is about trains and love, this one is also about trains and love.

Electric Light Orchestra - "Last Train to London"

 

[Nobodyman]

Previously on Lupin III: No way! Lupin wouldn't kill anyone......well, no one who didn't deserve it.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: Like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a Droopy cartoon.

How can you have a Transcontinental Railroad in an island country?
I mean, there's that train that crosses the English Channel...

I didn't even know you could ski in England.

 

[Nobodyman]

So are we doing Murder on the Orient Express? That's not even by the same author!

And now we have some Hardy Boys knock-offs. How many novels are we ripping off here?!

Oh yeah, I guess the US does have a transcontinental railroad. Not that anyone would notice.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Inspector Queen?

Oh, they're horn dogs.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

So are we doing Murder on the Orient Express? That's not even by the same author!

National Lampoon's Murder on the Orient Express, maybe.

His name is Marquis Railway, Duke of York.

Come to my place and I'll show you my model trains.

 

[Nobodyman]

This is shaping up to be one of Lupin's weirdest capers.

Disguise masks have gone too far.

Why does that guy have two mustaches?

 

[shany94a]

Poor dumb boys. Fujiko's like a female praying mantis, she draws you in and then eats your head off.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Lupin's henchmen pretending to be Lupin's fans pretending to be Lupin's henchmen?!
My head just exploded...

A model Transcontinental Railroad, passing little tent cities full of Playmobil Chinese workers.

Hello Lupin.
Hello Fujiko.

 

[Nobodyman]

Fujiko dressing up as a maid just in time for the month of May-d.

Wow, that double mustache was the worst disguise ever.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

"The painting was the real door!"
The seemingly-innocuous painting that was clearly made up like all the other doors was the real door!

Fujiko's got a ticket to ride, and she don't care.

The butler did it?

What are they going to do, shake it out of her neckhole?

 

[Nobodyman]

I think that little girl just had an awakening looking at Fujiko.

 

[animePWNS]

Poor dumb boys. Fujiko's like a female praying mantis, she draws you in and then eats your head off.

Makes the threat of her facing the "guillotine" almost karmic.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Try to keep up, Zenigata.

If they show Fujiko tied to those tracks, I will be very disappointed.

 

[Nobodyman]

Fortunately, those security guards are trained in horseback riding.

Boy, those snowballs really snowballed.

Well, that's certainly one way to decapitate someone.

Don't tell me this is the first time they've resorted to the tie-a-girl-to-the-train-tracks cliche in a Lupin story.

Fujiko showing a surprising amount of gratitude.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Well, at least the trains are running on time.

*sigh* You disappoint me, anime.

They even took the time to pin her hair to the ground?

A speeding bullet more powerful than a locomotive?

And a peck on the cheek for their trouble.

And good news for One Piece fans, their show's on early this week.
