LUPIN'S LONDON PLAYLIST

...What do you mean, they're not in London anymore!? What am I gonna do for the rest of the series?!

Well, as long as we're traveling, how about some music to travel to?

Motorhead - "Ace of Spades"
(as featured in the classic '80s series The Young Ones)

Previously on Lupin III:

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: Well...case closed, I guess.

Welcome to not-London, I guess.

Why is he shooting at a bunch of Joan Jett clones?

 

[Nobodyman]

It's the Annie Lennox brigade and they are quite miffed.

Hey, the Italy and France seasons didn't wuss out on their locations halfway through.

 

[Space Cadet]

Lupin in his trademark boxers.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

WHY AREN'T WE IN LONDON ANYMORE?!

 

[Space Cadet]

WHY AREN'T WE IN LONDON ANYMORE?!

They're trying to avoid the heatwave that's swept the country.

 

[Nobodyman]

"This all happened when I was a little kid back in the...well, somewhere between the 40's and 90's."

Wait, did they really give us one of those "I bet you're wondering how I got here" openings?

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Lupin in his trademark boxers.

Are they like Fujiko's that have boxing gloves on springs?

This is his I'm-going-to-steal-something face.

So Lupin lived near the treasure of One Piece?

"Grandpa vault shold have been unbreachable, but there was one person who managed to get in."
Ant-Man?

"That one thief happens to be a woman."
The Wasp?

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Lupin will get AAAALLL the auction treasures, then call AAA to fix his car, and maybe watch some AAAHH!! Real Monsters afterward.

This flower shop scene beats the one in The Room any day. "Hi doggy!"

 

[shany94a]

The opening theft attempt was like watching old-time Speed Racer, what with jetpacks and knife boots.

Somebody stole something from Lupin's granddad, so he's going to steal it back.

And who is the woman with the chartreuse hair? She's beautiful, but a tad venomous.

 

[Nobodyman]

She wasn't checking for a disguise, she just pinched her cheeks because she's so cute.

Lupin. Thief, ladies man, and apparently an engineering genius.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Can't go to the bathroom there without buying anything.

"You're quite the lady-killer."
If you only knew.

Grandma, security guard.

You can't steal that stuff! I was going to steal it!

Oh, wait, I remember this bit.

 

[animePWNS]

NBC's covering it too, eh?

 

[Nobodyman]

Either these are identical decuplets or we have a cloning situation on our hands.

And we return to the opening.

Ooh, that'll leave a mark. And possibly a concussion.

"Who the hell are those guys?"
Umm, they're "lades" Jigen.

Oh, your mother. Well that's good to know, but I don't see-WHAAAAAAAAA?!

New ending theme.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

"Do you have any idea what you're holding in your hand?"
A jewel?

I hope you find time during this tearful reunion to get your florist friend to a hospital.

I guess it runs in the family.

Oh, yeah, tease us with a London phone booth in your end credits to remind us that WE COULD STILL BE IN LONDON RIGHT NOW!

 

[animePWNS]

Like mother like son, it seems.

New ED.

 

[Space Cadet]

Wait, this is a new ending song right? It didn't start last week?

 

[shany94a]

Nice new ending. Very noir.
