Lupin the Third Part 6 is the, well, sixth numbered entry in the Lupin franchise (The seventh series overall counting The Woman Called Fujiko Mine). Naturally, TMS Entertainment still produces the series, and this time their main studio acts as the primary production studio rather than their subsidiary studio Telecom Animation Film, as was the case with Parts 4 and 5 — they would eventually return to the franchise the following year for the ONA series Lupin Zero. The series' 24-episode run (excluding the special episode 0) is evenly split between two entirely separate storylines:Lupin The Third VS Holmes (Episodes 1-12): He conquered Italy, he conquered France. So now Lupin turns his sights to the Great Britannia as his adventures lead him to London. As always, he finds himself getting into trouble while pursuing his targets be it from law enforcement, rival thieves, or underground criminal empires that secretly run the ruling government. But of course, he has his trusty (well 1/3 trusty) crew by his side: Daisuke Jigen, Goemon Ishikawa XIII and Fujiko Mine, while likewise having his persistent foe, Inspector Koichi Zenigata, ready and waiting to arrest him first chance he gets. Along for the ride this time is the one and only Sherlock Holmes (Or at least a descendant of his) and his assistant/ward, Lily, who get dragged into his capers as well. For the former, the resulting escapades could just be the thing to shake him from his funk and back into more serious cases in detective work. But danger is around every corner and both sides will have to work together if they wish to survive.Witch and Gentleman (Episodes 13-24): When Fujiko shows Lupin an auction listing of rare relics from all over the world, Lupin reacts to one in particular: an unknown red diamond that used to belong in his grandfather's tightly secured mansion that has only been successfully robbed once. Determined to retrieve it, he goes to the auction only for it to be robbed by another group of armed women who all look the same. What is the connection to these women, and the woman who was the only one to succesfully rob from the first Lupin?Oh, and Lupin finally changed his jacket. Welcome back to the Green Jacket era!The series premiered in October 2021, with a prelude special focusing on Jigen (in honor of longtime voice actor, Kiyoshi Kobayashi, retiring from the role after 50 years playing the character. Akio Ōtsuka has taken over the role starting from episode one).Like the previous series, the dub of Part 6 aired on Toonami in 2022 shortly after the end of the sub's original broadcast. In a break from the norm, Sentai Filmworks currently holds the license for this series instead of franchise regulars Discotek Media, with the series available to stream on their HIDIVE service and a Blu-Ray release set to come out in January 2023, a few months after the show's conclusion on Toonami. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: It's hard to tell if Tomoe is actually Lupin's biological mother, if she merely sees him as a useful pawn that she could use to live lavishly and safely, or, whether out of actual care of him or because of how useful he could be, she deluded herself into thinking that she is his mother. Episode 24 leans towards the latter interpretations, but Lupin burning the treasure Tomoe stole from his family vault, which supposedly had links to his origins, leaves it still up in the air. | |

Trapped in the Past: Episodes 5 & 6 focus on Lupin suddenly getting transported to 1930s Japan while trying to pilfer a valuable clock and everyone mistaking him for his grandfather, Arsene Lupin going under the alias Gold Mask. Lupin has to figure out how he got there while running into doppelgangers of his gang and Zenigata and also contending with Kogoro Akechi, Japan's first great fictional detective. As it turns out, the time-traveling was merely an illusion cooked up to trick Lupin into giving away the passcode to his family's treasure vault. | |

Its treasure, whatever it may be, is Lupin's target now. Episode 12 reveals that the organization has long since been disbanded and the few remaining members left are unaware of this, carrying out orders only out of fear of Raven punishing them. | |

Know When to Fold Them: In the second episode, Lupin notes he doesn't have enough clues from his half of the poster to pinpoint where the Raven's treasure is. Added that Lupin knows Holmes will instantly track him down after seeing him back in London. Indeed, Holmes manages to find their hideout in a single night, leading to a brief confrontation with the gang as well as a one on one with Lupin. Ultimately Lupin decides to pull out of London for the time being. | |

Mundane Solution | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_3c7022ce | comment |
Mundane Solution: The L System can detect Lupin and his gang instantly regardless of disguises. Lupin's solution? He made a fake event that invites cosplayers to dress up as them to win a prize. Even though the supercomputer can detect their movements, it still needs people to apprehend them. This causes massive confusion on the guards as they can't pinpoint exactly where Lupin's gang was. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Jigen's Smith & Wesson Model 19 Revolver might be powerful enough for instakilling foes, but over the years, wear and tear combined with the high-pressure .357 Magnum cartridges fired from it starts causing cracks in the gun's frame. Replacement parts aren't in good supply for such an old model, so Jigen is forced to use .38 Special rounds, but this bites him back when an assassin who wants him dead manages to survive because of the weaker ammo being unable to penetrate a Kevlar vest. In the end, the gun catastrophically explodes after firing one last Magnum shot and lodges the barrel in the assassin's heart. Luckily, Jigen's dealer is able to find a master gunsmith capable of reforging the revolver anew. The Raven gets hit with this two-fold. While having an extremely valuable piece of treasure may allow the Raven to have financial influence over Britain, it doesn't make sense for one treasure alone to allow them to exert so much influence and fear. Which is why the actual "Treasure" is threatening to blow up key places in London with unexploded WW2 ordinance if their demands aren't met makes more sense and why the British government would be embarrassed if anyone found out. Of course, said threat is useless if no one is around to maintain bombs whose fuses will decay over time. Also, having a decentralized and loosely affiliated group of people may allow them to cut off others who risk the group, but decades of operating like this, not questioning decades-old orders, and most importantly making sure the rest of the group is still around meant the Raven effectively ceased to exist in the mid-90's without their lower ranked members knowing it. The remaining members keep carrying on with their useless duties out of fear for Raven's remaining executioners, causing them to spend most of the arc infighting and further hamstringing their efforts. The difference between Lupin and Mercedes in their methods of thievery amount to what works in the long run. Lupin relies on stealth and trickery, meaning that while he does make off with lots of valuable items, he isn't considered a threat to national security in any country he's visiting. Mercedes and her gang terrorize their victims with firepower, making them armed robbers as opposed to mere thieves. Lupin won't be chased around for terrorism, but if Mercedes had continued past episode 14, she would have found herself at the receiving end of some nation's military might. The "L System", a supercomputer that can detect Lupin and his comrades regardless of their disguises instantly still has a Fatal Flaw: It needs electricity to run. The gang just needs to simultaneously to shut off all the power sources but it's easier said than done. The end of the whole "Lupin-getting-brainwashed-by-Tomoe" thing. Post-hypnotic suggestions can be broken, given the proper conditions. After all, Lupin had built up better relationships to the main cast than to Tomoe over the course of his life. It didn't take too long for the thief to stop thinking of Tomoe as his mother once she came close to ordering him to kill his friends. | |

Episode 8 has Jigen literally blow up his precious revolver in order to kill Brad Roark. The barrel and upper frame of the ruined Smith & Wesson Model 19, launched by Jigen's last overcharged .357 Magnum cartridge, punch through Roark's Kevlar vest and thus stab the guy right through the heart. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The end of the Lupin III VS Holmes arc. There was no treasure at all, just a long useless ransom threat from an organization that for all intents and purposes stopped existing for decades, meaning no one got what they want and Lestrade killed Watson for nothing. Lestrade kills himself after telling Holmes to tell Lily he's sorry. On the other hand, the legacy of The Raven is no longer a looming threat to anyone, and Lily can finally move on and take her father's position as Holmes' Watson. Episode 15: Mylene leaked the presence of the Tear of Marseilles because she knew it would get Lupin's attention, and therefore Jigen's as well. She wanted to see him one last time before she got married because she still loves him. Afterward, she hands over the Tear to Lupin, who gives it to Jigen. Jigen casually tosses it into the sea to Lupin's horror, grumbling about how he has no time for tears. The end of the Witch and Gentleman storyline. Tomoe's machinations are stopped and the women she brainwashed can now lead their own lives outside her influence (except for Hazel who died). But Lupin did so by reluctantly killing Tomoe, his mother figure, and must live with the guilt that he was indirectly responsible for much of the pain and suffering that happened to some of those women, including the one that he came to care about, Mattea. Plus, Lupin gains the first and maybe only chance to truly learn about himself but decides to destroy it, more interested in living in the present with his comrades instead of being tied down by searching for the past. | |

Broken Ace: Sherlock Holmes. Lupin asserts he's the real deal and proper successor of the Holmes name, unlike the pretender (a "Holmes III") in the older anime (episode 97 to be exact). In episode 2, the consulting detective proves smart enough to track Lupin down in a single night and skilled enough to defeat both Goemon and Jigen in a fight. However, an event 10 years ago resulted in the death of his companion, John H. Watson. This caused Holmes to become unwilling to do his usual work, as he now had to care for Lily, Watson's daughter. | |

I Never Said It Was Poison: Holmes figures out that Lestrade was the man Lily saw kill her father that night when Lestrade offhandedly mentions the color of the muffler Lily was wearing the night of the murder. Holmes had taken the muffler off of Lily when Lestrade, who was supposed to have been elsewhere, arrived on the scene later. The only way Lestrade could have known that detail is if he had seen Lily earlier that night, something Holmes had initially been led to believe was not the case. | |

Then from those women, she chooses the ones who are compatible with Lupin's taste or at least a high chance of meeting him and each one of them has a line from the poem that she implanted in Lupin's mind when he was a child. Since they were from different nationalities, it would be less suspicious to decipher but easy to trigger as Lupin is a multilingual. | |

Godzilla Threshold | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_72856b70 | comment |
The London Metropolitan Police somehow have been authorized to carry firearms and use them without regards to people who might get hit in the crossfire, plus somebody managed to call in a heavy armored car from the British Army (British police do not have access to armored fighting vehicles with tank guns). But then again, it is Lupin III. As far as we're concerned, his presence may have just crossed the Godzilla Threshold for the police, because Lupin and his gang have gone to ridiculously destructive extremes to escape arrest (especially as Jigen tends to blow stuff up and Goemon literally slices just about every typical arrest method to ribbons). | |

Once More, with Clarity | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_7374ab13 | comment |
Once More, with Clarity: Episode 7 goes into what really happened the night Watson died. In previous episodes the audience is led to assume Lupin killed him, but this episode reveals that he died in a struggle with one of the Raven's executioners. Lupin happened to be there chasing after one of the leads and witnessed the whole thing, going to check on Watson afterwards. Lily, whom Watson was driving to a hospital when he saw the executioner, followed after Watson and had the misfortune of seeing Lupin standing over her father's body and assumed he was the killer before fainting from her illness. | |

Entertainingly Wrong: "Welcome to the Island of Bubbles" follows the viewpoint of Muru, a girl who Thinks Like a Romance Novel, and completely misreads Lupin's gang as a love triangle between a demure maiden (Fujiko), a dandy musician (Jigen), a poor astronomer (Goemon), and a Plucky Comic Relief (Lupin). By the end, she discovers that Lupin is the famous thief, but decides Fujiko is likely a spy. The girl isn't that far off... | |

Chained to a Railway | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_872b9e12 | comment |
Chained to a Railway: Fujiko has this happen to her in the third episode when she's caught trying to steal a valuable train ticket and pretends to swallow it (she palmed the ticket and later hid it under an elephant). The villain decides to have his men tie her head down to the rails of a ride-able miniature railway so that the estate's self-driving train cuts off her head when it passes. For added measure, he has her hair tied down so that when the protagonists find her, Fujiko runs the risk of having her hair cut off to free her. Jigen puts an end to this by shooting a track-side switch, causing the nearby activated points to redirect the train elsewhere. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: Plenty of this. In episode 4, it looked like Fujiko was going to kill the guy who had the rare book. She fires her gun offscreen, but not at him, since he takes her motor scooter and flees later. In episode 5, Akechi gives Colonel Daidoji a telegram, which claims the clock on the train was just a duplicate to throw Lupin off. As it turns out, the telegram itself was faked, meaning that the police and the Shigetomi security detail had been guarding the real clock the whole time. Episode 6: When it's revealed that the time traveling thing was merely a virtual dimension meant to trick Lupin into giving the passcode to his treasure vault, Lupin enters a passcode. Except that the passcode he entered is the one to target all secret government facilities for a missile strike. Episode 7: we see Zenigata and Yata have some dinner with Inspector Lestrade ending with Zenigata stating he has a feeling Lupin will arrive back in London and gets up from the table. Later Zenigata finds Lupin on a roof leading into the events of the episode. Until it's revealed at the end it's really Holmes disguised as him. The real Zenigata never left the cafe and passed out after having too much to drink. Episode 8: Lily is supposedly in danger after the two Scotland Yard detectives get knocked silly and replaced by Raven operatives. As it turns out, Lupin and Jigen were somehow keeping tabs on the situation and convinced Kenny (the boy who has a crush on Lily) to cross-dress and act as a decoy, thus allowing Lily to go to 221B Baker Street unharmed. The decoy operation isn't revealed until Jigen's final showdown with Brad Roark. Episode 9: the episode leads up to the burial spot of Pirate Zeke's treasure. It is implied that the box that Fujiko unearths has a black diamond in it, but the phrase "black diamond" refers to black pepper, which was a ludicrously expensive commodity almost a century ago. Episode 11: Just as it looks like Holmes is about to restore the stolen poster to its original position, he tears it to shreds. Turns out the poster has nothing to do with the Raven's treasure. It's the Black Drawing Room itself that holds the secret. And the secret was that the room itself was a death trap. Episode 12 turns our whole situation on its head in multiple ways. The MI-6 agent who was spying on Lupin and Holmes is thought to be Watson's killer, but as it were, he didn't kill Watson, and is just a greedy would-be Raven member. Holmes and Lupin get into a nasty fight, and it looks like Holmes gets shot. But the fight itself is staged (probably with a magazine of rubber bullets in Lupin's gun) to get Lestrade exposed as the guy who killed Watson. The dead giveaway for this is deducing the fact that Lestrade recognized Lily's scarf from ten years ago in the previous episode. Lestrade was supposedly elsewhere when the shooting happened. So, great, Lestrade was the bad guy the whole time. Oh, by the way, he is a fringe member of Raven. And Raven is ineffective as an organization owing to its decentralization. And our treasure turned out to be a set of bomb threats that was used to blackmail the British government. The bombs used for the threats have mostly become inert due to old age. | |

Artistic License – Law Enforcement | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_8a8f37f9 | comment |
Artistic License – Law Enforcement: Ordinary British police do not carry firearms, yet all the cops in London are seen shooting at Lupin (and miserably failing to hit him). It should also be noted that neither MI-6 nor Scotland Yard have the authority to get the British Army to deploy an armored fighting vehicle, let alone have said vehicle fire its main armament in a heavily populated city. This should tip off any viewers who are savvy about British law. Although, as noted elsewhere on the page, this may be a case of Lupin being a Godzilla Threshold. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The London Metropolitan Police somehow have been authorized to carry firearms and use them without regards to people who might get hit in the crossfire, plus somebody managed to call in a heavy armored car from the British Army (British police do not have access to armored fighting vehicles with tank guns). But then again, it is Lupin III. As far as we're concerned, his presence may have just crossed the Godzilla Threshold for the police, because Lupin and his gang have gone to ridiculously destructive extremes to escape arrest (especially as Jigen tends to blow stuff up and Goemon literally slices just about every typical arrest method to ribbons). Episode 6 reveals that some government is out to get the Lupin family's treasure vault, and its scientists in one facility cooked up an almost convincing virtual reality to trap Lupin and force him to grant them access to the vault. He turns the situation on its head by giving the scientists a fake passcode, which triggers a bunch of missile silos instead! Episode 7 has Mrs. Hudson, of all people, guarding Lily with a massive sniper rifle, which would be incredibly hard to get in the UK, let alone the rack of various guns that are also in the same room. Episode 8 has Jigen literally blow up his precious revolver in order to kill Brad Roark. The barrel and upper frame of the ruined Smith & Wesson Model 19, launched by Jigen's last overcharged .357 Magnum cartridge, punch through Roark's Kevlar vest and thus stab the guy right through the heart. Episode 11: The Black Drawing Room is actually a death trap. Anyone who lets sunlight in gets blown to bits along with a good chunk of the building. In episodes 13 and 14, the Elvira gang always uses stolen military-grade weapons for its heists. This means that typical police responses won't work. | |

Foreshadowing: The diner waitress in Episode 4 tells Lupin and Jigen that they can't order anything more complicated than a sandwich until six o'clock, and when the sandwiches do arrive, they're absolutely terrible. It turns out this is because the "waitress" is Fujiko in disguise the entire time. Fujiko has the real waitress and cook Bound and Gagged in the kitchen, leaving her to fill in for both of them despite her subpar cooking skills, and excusing her not being able to make anything more complicated until the action kicks off. In episode 7, Colonel Moran mentions something about a "professor" before escaping Lupin and Holmes. If you know your Holmes lore, you should know that person of whom he speaks. | |

Continuity Nod: Albert D'Andresy, Lupin's rival from within French Intelligence who was introduced in Lupin III: Part 5, appears in several episodes, and it's his going after a poster that may contain clues to Raven's treasure that sets off the main plot. Sherlock Holmes III, who did show up in the second season, is mentioned while talking about this show's Sherlock. Lupin dismisses that one as a fake. For Holmes' side: when Colonel Sebastian Moran kills anyone, he does it by sniping people with an air rifle. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
Jigen's Smith & Wesson Model 19 Revolver might be powerful enough for instakilling foes, but over the years, wear and tear combined with the high-pressure .357 Magnum cartridges fired from it starts causing cracks in the gun's frame. Replacement parts aren't in good supply for such an old model, so Jigen is forced to use .38 Special rounds, but this bites him back when an assassin who wants him dead manages to survive because of the weaker ammo being unable to penetrate a Kevlar vest. In the end, the gun catastrophically explodes after firing one last Magnum shot and lodges the barrel in the assassin's heart. Luckily, Jigen's dealer is able to find a master gunsmith capable of reforging the revolver anew. | |

Oh, Crap!: In the first episode Lupin saves Albert from being caught by the police, but in the midst of the chase they come across a heavy armored car sent by the British Army to stop them, prompting this reaction from Lupin and Jigen. Given that Jigen blew up a few police cars with anti-armor missiles earlier, the police may have already cried "oh fudge" and requested the armored car because they were now dealing with potential terrorists. Episode 3 has the issue of Fujiko becoming the damsel in distress, making Lupin panic when he realizes what's going on. Episode 5 puts Lupin into this again when he tries to get the loot off the train. He didn't expect a Mongolian caretaker to attack him. In Episode 10, Lupin and Fujiko share one when they realize GOD Himself is asking them to steal a fossilized Lucifer. They end up declining the job. Episode 14: the Mexican Federal Police and Interpol agents freak out when the Elvira gang arrives with infantry-fighting-vehicles, stolen from the military. At least half the cops get killed. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: Everything involving Raven turns out to be false, leaving several people screwed over in the process. The "Treasure" is actually World War II ordnance set to blow up key locations in London if the British government didn't meet the Raven's demands. However, most of the bombs have long since been rendered ineffective due to their fuses and casings deteriorating. As for Raven itself, the organization became decentralized and fragmented as time went on. While this made it hard to capture the entire group, it also meant no one actually talked to each other for important matters like whether or not the organization was even still operational, leaving the few surviving members to carry out orders out of fear of being killed by higher ups that no longer exist. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: During the first cour, these were themed around famous detectives and hitmen... Sherlock Holmes, for starters, is a primary antagonist to Lupin. In Episode 3, we meet New York City Police Inspector Queen, who is Ellery Queen's father. In addition, the two male characters that help the gang are clearly designed after The Hardy Boys. In Episode 4, we get a dozen hitmen, including expies of El Mariachi, Mark Gor (and other Chow Yun-fat characters) and Duke Todo as patrons in the Diner, with Todo mentioned by name. In episode 5, Kogoro Akechi, the first Japanese Great Detective takes on Lupin a Time Travel story. Doubles as a Mythology Gag; this is Akechi's first appearance in the series since the pilot film! Then he was an old man, now we get to see him in his prime. In Episode 6, we get another classic Japanese detective, the more Hard Boiled Detective Yoshiaki Hongo. In Episode 7, we have Sebastian Moran and mention of a "Professor", both from Holmesian lore. In Episode 12, we finally meet Moriarity, who is a young-looking man with unkempt blonde hair, including bangs. He's apparently an old acquaintance of Lupin. | |

Fair-Play Whodunnit: Most of the mysteries in this Lupin series fall under this, except episode 4, which is Homage to a specific story. The clues in the rest are there for the viewer to see before the reveal. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Lestrade verbally blasts Holmes for taking Lily to the place her father died and triggering her PTSD. The reveal that Lestrade is actually the one who killed him puts this scene in a different light as it can be assumed that his anger stems from fear that Lily will remember seeing him kill her father. | |

Ear Worm: The Wangtic Securities commercial that keeps playing throughout Episode 17. It keeps annoying and disrupting Lupin and the gang's heist practice to boot. By getting stuck in their heads, it also allows them to coordinate the timing for their heist when their headsets get jammed. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: The Witch and Gentleman arc features many women as central characters over a few men of no consequence, though a few of these are important to the overall plot. And then, it turns out every other woman that wasn't explicitly tied to the arc was in fact related to it due to Tomoe having approached each one of them to recite several phrases in different languages to trigger Lupin's brainwashed state. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: Episode 4, "The Killers in the Diner", broadly follows Ernest Hemingway's short story "The Killers". As it turns out, the loot Lupin's gang is after is actually a rare original copy of the story, so Lupin, Jigen, and Fujiko were intentionally recreating parts of the tale In-Universe for laughs. | |

| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: Episode 5 and 6 has Ruriko Shigetomi and Sarantuya. While former officially calls the latter her bodyguard, the sight of them sharing a bottle of champagne and holding hands afterwards while sitting in bed together makes their business trip seem more like a romantic getaway in disguise. Though in the end it's revealed Sarantuya is a guy. The trope still applies to Ruriko, who was unaware and seems disappointed at the reveal. | |

Episode 14. Lupin didn't accept the challenge that Mercedes on robbing a bank, instead biding his time to follow Mercedes and her crew to her hideout. Also, throughout the episode, Lupin is serious and focused on finding answers on what happened to his adoptive mother. He didn't even haggle to Fujiko on the loot, he just wants the jewel that was stolen from his family as it was considered as an Old Shame by Lupin's clan. | |

Old Master: As it turns out, Episode 9's Treasure Hunter Cherry is an elderly woman in a wheelchair being doted on by her great-granddaughter. She's 95 years old, still fit as a fiddle, knows how to fight, and took both Lupin and Fujiko for a ride while baiting them into leading her to her dead sister's treasure. | |

The diner waitress in Episode 4 tells Lupin and Jigen that they can't order anything more complicated than a sandwich until six o'clock, and when the sandwiches do arrive, they're absolutely terrible. It turns out this is because the "waitress" is Fujiko in disguise the entire time. Fujiko has the real waitress and cook Bound and Gagged in the kitchen, leaving her to fill in for both of them despite her subpar cooking skills, and excusing her not being able to make anything more complicated until the action kicks off. | |

Worthless Treasure Twist | |
| Lupin III: Part 6 / int_edf841f6 | comment |
Worthless Treasure Twist: The titular "Jet-Black Diamond" of Episode 9 turns out to be a crate full of pepper. It might have been valuable in the days of the spice trade, but today it's just a generic garnish thanks to better farming techniques. And some box of century old pepper would be useless even as a garnish. The Raven's "treasure" ends up being a bunch of unexploded World War II ordnance from the time of the Blitz. By the 2020s, the explosive payload and the fuses in the bombs have decomposed due to age thus making the bombs worthless as a threat. There never was any monetary value to the treasure at all. | |

Regaining her memories of Tomoe's brainwashing upon suffering a blow to the head in the thirteenth episode, she decides to use the skills she was taught to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, killing as many of Tomoe's disciples as she can, and going out of her way to track her down and kill her. | |
