Synopsis[]

In Morocco, Lupin is attracted to a beautiful girl. Suddenly, he finds himself kidnapped and stuffed in a bag and taken to a desert encampment where he is forcibly conscripted into the people's army.

Mistakes[]

  • The map had written Marrakesh as Maraceasy, Beirut was also written as Beailut.
  • When Lupin knocks the guard out, his hands are the same color as Zenigata's.

Translation Notes[]

The English dub had rewritten dialogue loosely following the plot of the original and added extra dialogue in scenes that were originally silent or no dialogue.

For example, in the English dub, Lupin's grim fantasy about being beheaded adds more dialogue.

Both in the English and French dubs, the references to the Foreign Legion were dropped and instead it had become an army with the soldiers being revolutionaries and the commander considered it a revolution rather than Lupin knowing that it was a coup d'etat.

References to and a running gag about Disneyland were added in the English dub, the first reference about feeling trapped was originally silent in the Japanese original and the Italian dub while the second about "nobody forced me to share a teacup with Goofy" was originally Lupin wondering whether it was a prison and noticed that he was stuck in "here" with Pops.

The English dub continues the running jokes about Zenigata's mother.

Notes[]

  • This episode is the first episode that Yuzo Aoki had animated for TMS and was credited even though he was also involved with Lupin the 3rd Part 1 and the pilot film. In particular, he animated the scenes with the Commander in the first half and the scene where Zenigata pulls Lupin in the cell. He would later go on to animate further episodes in Part 2 including the opening sequence of the fourth season, as well as being the animation director and character designer for Lupin the 3rd Part III.
  • The English Geneon title is a reference to The Rocky Horror Show.
  • This episode was outsourced to South Korea. Both the studio and the Korean animators are uncredited. The only known scene that was outsourced was when Lupin and Zenigata were about to be cuffed together by the Commander with the crew warming up the bolts.[2]
  • The episode is rated 40th according to the staff at TMS.[1]
  • The Emotion VHS release mistakenly lists this episode as the 29th.
  • This episode is the first of many instances where Lupin and Zenigata are forced to work together.
  • At the end of Maurice Leblanc's story 813, the original Lupin did join the Foreign Legion.
  • Zenigata's suggestion that they cut their chains with the train wheels could be a reference to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
