As such, Lupin disguises himself as an Egyptian cleaner on the museum to rearrange for the masks to be stolen. He and Fujiko make off with the masks, resulting in world headline information.
In Israel, Zenigata is bound that Lupin is the thief. He will get indignant when he finds there aren’t any flights to Egypt from Israel, main the police to arrest him.

Ideas/Evaluation
I’m informed that Lupin the third: Half II 07 is a well-liked episode in Japan. I wrestle to see why. To me, this was only a bizarre, meandering story that modified historical past to huge up King Tut’s curse. Nonetheless, I do admire the supernatural aspect of the episode. The writers didn’t attempt to recreation the system to invent an excuse for Lupin’s unnatural habits.
What I didn’t like was Lupin’s “rescue” from the highest of the pyramid. Mainly, the writers wrote themselves right into a nook. Then they “magicked” a transparent kite hooked up to Lupin so he’d seem to drift. However the kite is hooked up to the automotive. When did Fujiko do that? She came visiting with Jigen and Goemon. Lupin was already on high of the pyramid with the implication that he supernaturally acquired up there. Irritating.
That apart, I did like how the story was a Fujiko and Lupin story. I stored anticipating Fujiko to betray Lupin since that’s what she normally does. Nevertheless, that didn’t occur. As a substitute, we acquired to see how a lot Fujiko cares for Lupin. She gave up thousands and thousands to save lots of his life. She almost died within the desert for Lupin. That was cool.
Lastly, Zenigata getting dragged off by the police made me smile. He didn’t have a lot a task within the episode although, apart from to simply be there as the continuing pursuer of Lupin. However then Jigen and Goemon had little to do as effectively.
Last Ideas and Conclusion
In the long run, Lupin the third: Half II 07 is an odd episode, coping with King Tut. It isn’t dangerous, however I don’t perceive why it’s so beloved in Japan. Possibly as a result of it’s a Lupin and Fujiko episode.
