It's always the coolest characters that bite it first.

Fun fact: the original US airing of this episode cut out Hilda's suicide bombing, making it look like she and the pirate girl just drifted into the sun.

And don't forget how Melfina always had a digitally-added bikini so she wouldn't be nude on TV.

Aaaaand this is at the top of the page. Man, is this going to be weird without context. [lol]

Welp, I should call it a night here as well. Later, y'all. smile

Ah, it's been so long since I've seen the Big Shot show hosts. Especially know what I know about one of them, it's especially good to see them again.

Aw, gotta love having daytime TV edits to make seinen-shows suitable for a kid-friendly by. Thanks to the death edit, I always thought Hilda just suffered a Disney Death and would turn up again towards the end of the series until later episodes made it clear she was gone for good.

TBH, I kind of liked the digital bikini edit a bit more and I'm not sure why. I guess a little modesty is fine here and there.

Was Lupin really a rapist in the original manga?

Yep. It was never depicted seriously, though, and was mostly done as gratuitous fanservice. I think it's an instance of Values Dissonance, due to it being the 1960s, and Monkey Punch being a young man writing for an audience of other young men.

Not to toot my own horn, but I wrote quite a bit in a post for my Lupin manga blog.

I'm very glad they toned that aspect of it down for the anime.

Yeah, the rapist angle was something I'm NOT a fan of with Lupin and I'm glad that's long been dropped. Lupin works as a more playful character. That's one reason I enjoyed Part 4 so much: it fuses the best parts of all incarnations of Lupin.

Next episode of Lupin the 3rd, shit gets trippy! This one borrows influence from A Woman Named Fujiko Mine. That and we'll get Lupin vs. Nix 3! And Lupin will have no choice this time but to finish this fight.

I love this episode, especially how it ends.

There's just something about the OP theme for Super that doesn't feel exciting enough.

Goku got embarrassed. waii

I have a question. Are the members of Frieza/Frost's species... naked? Their "clothes" seem to change with their transformations.

@ Rynnec: Yeah, I agree on the digital bikini. She operates in a tank of water, after all, so while I guess the lack of clothing is for Fanservice interface purposes, it makes a whole lot more sense that she's in a what's essentially a swimsuit.

Ugh, it still stinks that Frost is a faker. The concept of a heroic Frieza had such great potential.

Piccolo is stronger now than Frieza was on Namek, so the others should be more supportive of him!

Frieza wore armor in his first form & took it off when transforming.

Can't you charge the Beam faster if you use both hands? Weren't you only unable to do that against Raditz because he cut off one of your arms?

Beary, think of it more as naturally grown clothes/armor. That's Xenoverse's explanation for it, anyway.

[up][up]Doing it that way isn't iconic. At least here there's the explanation of him wanting to keep a hand free to ward off attacks or whatever.
