My memory is bad, but I could have sworn Usopp was knocked off of Speed and I don't remember him getting back on.
But anyway, it was a fun episode.

@CosmicDebris for me it's the same. Why not go all the way and have everyone know each other from birth if the creators are that intent on making those kinds of decisions. Why not have Lupins parents know Jigens, Fujikos and Goemons parents and them having paired them all up in kindergarten. Jigen knowing Lupin since they were school kids shrinks the Lupin world in an, for me, unforgivable way

I mean why not, but again, it was Monkeypunch's original idea of how they met anyway.

And here be a trailer https://comicbook.com/anime/news/lupin-zero-anime-trailer-poster/

I mean, If it was like all five of them went to school together, than yeah, that would be totally stupid. But considering Monkeypunch actually wrote that Lupin and Jigen grew up together, it's not that much of a stretch to say they went to school together at some point.

@wolfwood said in Lupin the 3rd:

Aww come on, Jigen did not go to school with Lupin. Jigen met him as an adult when he was working for the mob. Or when the police hired him as a hitman if you are going by the manga. I'll accept literally any meet other than they knew each other from school.

Lupin origin stories are always changing. In the manga at one point, Lupin said they grew up together.

I'm in the camp of Andor being top tier Star Wars media. It's hard to compare it to the original trilogy for various reasons, but it's the best filmed media they've made since. Of course, we need to see season 2, but season 1 on it's own is pretty awesome.

It may depend on what you want most out of SW...if your main interest is stuff related to The Force and Jedi, then this would probably be the most boring Star Wars ever. But personally my favorite stuff is everything to do with the underworld and the politics of the Empire. I am over the moon with the ISB stuff.

I know people in general had mixed feelings about Obi-Wan, but I really enjoyed it. It's not as good as Mandalorian or Andor, but I did not find it dull.

I absolutely loved Rebels. It only gets better and better. Most people seemed to think the first season was a bit too light but all the subtle character building pays off.

Andor has been amazing. There's actually some really great acting and dialogue for once in Star Wars, haha.
Episode 9....wow. Andy Serkis and Stellan Skarsgard deserve...something.

I liked the intensity of the fight. Does Who's-Who really want information from Jimbei or is he just trying to piss him off by bringing up fishman slavery?

I've been watching green jacket while doing the dishes and i have two observations. Count nipple is the best fake name in Lupin history, and the randomly yelling Lupin intro songs continually go from what the fuck, to kinda endearing and right back to who greenlit this. Such a bizarre choice

bam bam Lupiiiin the thiiiiird, Lupin, Lupin, Lupin Lupin, Lupin.....
