Part 5: The filler episodes are more fun than the arcs.

Part 5 has, sprinkled between the story arcs, stand alone filler episodes. I find these much more compelling than said arcs. These include:

• A whacky pink jacket episode, where Lupin's friends try to give him brain damage so he can defeat a safe that won't open if your brain power is too high.

• A green jacket Miyazaki-style episode, where Lupin takes up the mantle of private investigator to solve a murder mystery.

• A red jacket adventure right out Part 2, where the hunt for a South American drug lord's treasure trove leads to a haunted car race and Fujiko getting some comeuppance.

• An episode where a blackout drunk Zenigata gets amnesia, thinks HE is thief and ends up being better at it than Lupin.

Honestly, these are some of the best episodes out of the second trilogy.
