Ideas/Assessment
There’s a number of stupidity in Lupin the third: Half II 38. Sadly, the sheer stupidity of everybody else made Zenigata look higher than regular within the brains division. I’ve usually mentioned that Zenigata ought to be on Lupin’s stage in the case of craftiness. To a level, the writers permit this to occur within the episode when Zenigata rightly suspects Fujiko. Alas, he too will get suckered on the finish when he learns the ICPO Director plans to double cross Fujiko.
Now lets get to the insane stupidity of Lupin and Fujiko’s plan. I can settle for that the ICPO Director thought he had Fujiko the place he wished her along with his supply to have her seize Lupin. Nonetheless, why on this planet would the ICPO Director permit Fujiko to simply run wild with a gun to attempt to shoot Lupin? Lupin seemed to be injured considerably as he fled within the sewers from Fujiko’s antics. (Although the writers instantly dropped this.)
Additional, how insanely silly did he must be to permit Fujiko to simply blow up a street bridge crossing the river? The animators made certain to point out no automobiles on the bridge, however that’s plot contrivance.
Then there’s the matter of Fujiko’s preliminary “seize” of Lupin. She supposedly will get the drop on him as Zenigata stands by. Then she instantly flees in order that the remainder of the story might occur. Then ICPO and the French police “meditate” within the nook so Fujiko will be an motion babe. And this was one other place the place Zenigata is made to look silly. He ought to have cuffed Lupin instantly when Fujiko had Lupin at gunpoint.
Last Ideas and Conclusion
Ultimately, Lupin the third: Half II 38 is a collection of plot required moments of sheer stupidity. And I didn’t even get to the stupidity of getting a large, “escape proof” cell that has had a big diamond hidden in it for ages. 🙄
