Notes[]
- The vodka that Lupin dipped his scissors into says "Since 1975 TAFs VODKA". This is a reference to Telecom Animation Film who are often shortened to TAF and they were founded in 1975 despite that their earliest work was done in 1978.
- The controllers that were hooked towards the keyboard and the dev kit like device are Super Famicom (SNES).
- Some of the items featured in the episode are Cup Noodle and Bahlsen Choco Leibniz Milk Chocolate Biscuits (with the name changed to a scribble).
- The bar is called Dead or Alive, a possible reference to the movie Lupin III: Dead or Alive.
- The villains in this episode are lifted directly from the original manga.
