YMMV / Lupin IIIS 5 E 1

• Bishōnen Jump Syndrome: A non- Shonen Jump example. Goemon Ishikawa XIII has never looked prettier.
• Crazy Is Cool: Newcomer Rebecca Rossellini establishes herself to be one in a single episode, most notably flinging herself off a tower into her private jet.
• Escapist Character: While the Lupin is gang is always this, Rebecca joins the fray as a rich model, fashion designer, singer, actress and author.
• Even Better Sequel: Part IV goes above and beyond the very well made Lupin III: Part III.
• Fans Prefer the New Her: This series's redesigns for the main cast are very popular.
• Gateway Series: This is how a lot of new fans found and fell in love with Lupin III.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Italians love Lupin so much that the entire season is set in their country and the anime even aired there first.
• Money-Making Shot: Both the theme song and the scene when Lupin and Rebecca are falling from the tower are visual masterpieces.
• Most Wonderful Sound: Kanichi Kurita, Miyuki Sawashiro and Yukiyo Fujii's pronunciation of Rebecca's surname is very pleasing to the ears. Kanichi Kurita's Opening Narration also has a lot of replay value.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The entire episode looks fantastic, but the theme song and the tower falling scene take the cake.
