Ideas/Assessment
We truly get a reasonably fascinating episode in Lupin the third: Half III 40. I’ve heard tales of how McDonald’s “lottery” video games and different issues prefer it are rigged. So it was pretty plausible that the pinnacle of the Lottery Fee would rig his personal lottery. The genius of it was the counterfeit cash facet. Because the money was guarded by Zenigata, and Lupin was after the money, nobody would suspect the commissioner of hiding the precise money. The one factor I’m unsure of is that if Tony deliberate to betray his henchman.
Regardless, whereas Lupin going via the traps was extremely cartoony, I did recognize the truth that he failed in his first try. Lupin’s second try was far more intelligent. He already had a ticket. So stealing the rigged ticket and exchanging it for a counterfeit copy of the ticket Lupin owned labored fairly properly. Lupin then permits Tony to alter the quantity to what Lupin wished.
I preferred that Zenigata suspected Tony was in actual fact Lupin throughout Lupin’s try to achieve the management room. Additional, Zenigata knowledgeable Tony about Fujiko, whom he’d employed as a lottery babe. I preferred that. The writers portrayed Zenigata as good for a change. On the similar time, I discovered it amusing how Lupin disguised himself as an on the scene reporter to place Zenigata on the recent seat concerning successful the lottery.
Closing Ideas and Conclusion
Ultimately, Lupin the third: Half III 40 was a fairly enjoyable episode. And I liked that Lupin obtained the prize with out some idiotic betrayal from Fujiko.
