Who said Zenigata got played?! [lol]

As said, he's competent this series, joking aside!

Also, Lupin runs on it as is in ways. There's no real set date and the cast transplanted into so many settings. Add in how continuity is between series and no clear origins, best to just accept him as is. Worrying about his age is like worrying about Batman's.

Well, he lives up to his reputation of being Lupin's rival, in this version.

[up][up]

Yeah, go with retconning Lupin into being Arsene Lupin's descendant. The reason is it's impossible for the original Lupin to be the grandfather of the main character.

[up][up] It's one of my favorite things about this series, especially how it plays into my favorite episode. I'll comment more when we get there though.

This has to be another disguise switcheroo.

Nope, it's not. And that's because Elena's playing everyone while still getting played by Lupin & co. Holey moley.

Wow, I like how in the end she decides to use this money to help others who were once in her situation. This was really a good episode for Zenigata.

@ Maestro: It is! smile It'd be cool if Toonami aired the Red Jacket series at some point in the future, too (since it was on [adult swim] and everything), but I won't hold my breath.

And now for the Naruto feels. Notably, this is a time where Naruto actually acknowledges how rough he's had it.

While I'm fond of the red shirt version, blue shirt beats it. It combines best elements of it and green shirt and other adaptions.

Agreed. Maile Flanagan definitely nailed all of Naruto's conflicting emotions in that scene. [tup]
