Lupin the Third Part VI

Episode 23
”The Memories of a Beloved Witch”​

Last time:

Spoiler

A young woman named Finn Clarke travels to Revonland in the Arctic to learn more about her mother who died after giving birth to her 16 years ago to the day. She stays with Daniel and Anna who had watched over her mother, Mariel, after she suddenly left for America. Using her mother's diary and pictures, Finn learns that in high school, Mariel had a crush on a football player named Sean and dated another boy named Allen. She finds some cassettes recorded by Mariel and decides to reveal them publicly as a webcast called "Finn's Room" which are heard by both Lupin and Mattea.

The tapes reveal that Mariel split with Sean and became pregnant with Allen, with Tomoe using hypnotic suggestion to make her believe they were always close to each other. The final tape reveals in a call with Sean that Allen had assaulted Marie, with surveillance footage at the time showing the two boys arguing and then being shot by another of Tomoe's "students", who then kills herself on her instructions.

As Finn goes into shock, Lupin rushes in and consoles her, while wondering about Tomoe's motivation. As he leaves, he encounters Zenigata, who is in pursuit of Mattea.

This time:
Words are powerful. Just a few can change everything. A single sentence, and Lupin is no longer himself… or is he the person he was always meant to be?

A song for Tomoe.

Previously on Lupin III: Who wouldn't want to know about their mother's crazy sex adventures?

Alright, now we should hopefully explain whatever the fudge last week was about.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: And that's how I met your father.

Next time I'm buying my flowers from an FTD florist.

NIAGARA FALLS! SLOWLY I TURNED, STEP BY STEP, INCH BY INCH...

 

[Nobodyman]

Uh, Lupin. You okay there buddy?

Was that a sleeper agent activation code word?

Oh, so I guess Mattea's being controlled too.

I guess we're just doing The Manchurian Candidate now.

 

[animePWNS]

Is this another Pink Floyd Mother thing?

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Yeah, he turned his sword around to the blunt side.

Oh great, and how are they supposed to get home?

OCEAN BACON.
CONSTANTINOPLE.
IT WAS YOU WHO BROKE MY MEISSEN PLATE.

Oh, so now we're back in London?!

 

[Nobodyman]

Oh hai Moriarty. Almost forgot you were in this show.

Guess we're finally going back to London in this London season.

The truth about who Lupin is. Are we following up on that mask thing from the Part 5 finale?

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Desmond from Carole & Tuesday rents the place out to him.

Blow in his ear and he'll follow you anywhere.

MY MOM DOESN'T WANT ME SEEING YOU BECAUSE SHE THINKS YOU'RE A HUSSY.

And this RIGHT AFTER I finally watched this week's Rick and Morty.

"Pueblos Magicos is Pueblos Magicos."
Your logic is infallible.

Okay, just walk in on Fujoko taking a shower.

"You've earned the slap of the century, mister."
"I'm down to smack his ass."
Jigen, I didn't know you were that kind of partner to him.

 

[Nobodyman]

I'm sensing an Oedipus complex. Shouldn't we be in Greece for that?

Even Malory Archer wasn't this controlling.

So Lupin is Sensui from Yu Yu Hakusho?

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Mother, do you need to be so high?

So every girl in this half-season was in on this?

 

[Nobodyman]

And we have our cliffhanger for the final battle.

Season finale next week!

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Is this another Pink Floyd Mother thing?

I'm thinking more of that Police song.

 

[shany94a]

Man, Lupin never should have bought flowers from that gal ... Probably one of the least light-hearted episodes of the series, plus Fujiko (finally) kisses Lupin and he shrugs it off. All resolved next week ... or not.

 

[Daikun]

WHAT?! MORIARTY?!?

Oh, NOW they suddenly decide to revisit the Sherlock plot after abandoning it for so long? This late in the show, too?
