History Recap / LupinIIIS2E24

* ShoutOut: An undercover Nezumi makes small talk about Franchise/JamesBond films to Zenigata while replacing a window, in both the Japanese and dub versions of the episode. He discusses the various Bond actors (Roger Moore and Sean Connery in the Japanese, Pierce Brosnan and George Lazenby in English). In the Japanese, Zenigata gets incensed, because "spies are our enemies!" and he doesn't approve of glorifying criminals. In the English, the two instead get into a fight about favorite Bond actors ("George Lazenby? '''GEORGE ''LAZENBY?!!'''''").

At the ancestral Ishikawa home in Japan, Goemon is rather annoyed when Jirokichi "Rat-Boy" Nezumi IV makes an apperance to deliver a note: at midnight of the next day, he will steal the treasured family chamberpot. After consulting with his friends, Lupin makes a friendly offer to take care of Rat-Boy for Goemon; taking it as a sign of dishonor, Goemon leaves, determined to take care of the threat himself. He returns home to find Rat-Boy comfortably ensconced in the family bathtub. Furious, Goemon goes after him, but Nezumi urges the samurai to calm down; the note was actually an excuse to meet Goemon and offer a chance to team up with him. Confused and curious, Goemon decides to listen to Nezumi.

* TheThingThatGoesDoink: Naturally, Goemon has one outside his family home.

* VerbalTic: Rat-Boy's rodent-like noises whenever he gets excited or laughs.

'''"The Great Thief Nezumi-Koozoo Makes His Appearance"'''[[hottip:*:怪盗ねずみ小僧現わる (''Kaitou Nezumi Kozou Arawaru'')]], with the English title '''"Rats To You"'''. Released in 2004 by Geneon on ''Volume 5: Mission Irresistible''.

Rat-Boy explains that over a hundred years ago, his great-grandfather, the original Nezumi, and Goemon's great-grandfather, Goemon X, teamed up to represent Japan for the world's First International Robbery Championship, which was held in southern Japan. They almost won, but were thwarted at the last minute by a dark horse in the contest, a certain ArseneLupin, naturally grandfather of the current Lupin III. Dishonored, Rat-Boy's father asked him to restore the Nezumi name by stealing the document the original failed to acquire. Rat-Boy wants Goemon's help, and to prove a connection between the two families, he presents Goemon with the eleventh Ishikawa's treasured pillbox. Goemon agrees to help Rat-Boy, for the honor of both clans.
