Goemon returns to his luxurious lodge in Manhattan, the place a lady named Lilly does aerobics. She addresses him as Oujisama and says she’s fallen in love with him. Goemon flees to a rural, Japanese Buddhist temple outdoors New York Metropolis and begins prayers to no avail.
In the meantime, Jigen, Fujiko, and Lupin case the luxurious cruise ship owned by Kermain Jacob. He has a strong gold pinball machine, which he stole through a rigged card recreation. Jigen notes the pinball machine is bolted to the deck. Again on the temple, Goemon decides to bury Lilly’s physique within the Japanese cemetery to no avail. As he leaves with Lilly, one other Lilly exhibits up, having swapped out Zantetsuken for a faux so she will be able to retrieve the gold pinball machine.
Lupin, Jigen, and Fujiko return to find out about Goemon’s ghost drawback. They borrow Zantetsuken from him and try to steal the pinball machine.

Ideas/Evaluate
One factor about Lupin the third: Half III 26 — I don’t know if there have been an precise supernatural component or not. The episode clearly exhibits supernatural issues occurring, such because the skeleton grabbing Goemon, then disappearing. Lilly actually disappears at instances. She vanishes at instances. And but to seem in numerous outfits, Lilly and her different 4, similar sisters (quintuplets, I suppose) apparently all pranced round Goemon and all pretended to be Lilly.
However the episode doesn’t make both of these items clear. For all we all know, all 5 ladies are ghosts of some sort. I get the sensation the writers of the episode need us to assume that every part might be defined away ’trigger “quintuplets”, regardless that they aren’t known as that within the episode. And oddly sufficient, solely the actual Lilly exhibits any type of emotions for Goemon. However then on the finish, Lupin calls Lilly a cute ghost. He could have been joking in regards to the ghost half. Nonetheless, the writers could have needed the viewers to query whether or not or not there have been ghosts within the episode.
As to the heist itself, I didn’t care about it a lot. What I’ll say is that the plot apparently having the sisters goal Goemon for Zantetsuken is a large stretch.
Remaining Ideas and Conclusion
Let me wrap up my assessment of Lupin the third: Half III 26 with some closing ideas.
- I suppose the writers thought it was humorous dressing Zenigata as a clown in New York Metropolis. However so as to add to his humiliation, let’s make him do Whack-a-Mole with Lupin coming out of the quite a few manhole covers which can be throughout.
- The official translations for this collection have all the time been dangerous. I’d rank them as nearly Chinese language bootleg subs. That apart, they adapter didn’t cope with “Oujisama” nicely. To keep away from utilizing it, typically, the adapter added textual content that wasn’t stated, equivalent to Lilly claiming to like previous males. She stated she cherished Goemon-oujisama, not that she cherished Goemon, and previous males. Certainly, the gags of Goemon getting pissed off about principally being known as an previous man by Lilly is misplaced.
- Who knew that outdoors New York Metropolis, there’s a Japanese temple and Japanese graveyard. 😂
Ultimately, Lupin the third: Half III 26 is a dumb episode. It’s a disgrace that Goemon and Lilly couldn’t be a pair.
