| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The Ruby Sheds Bloody Tears  That lady was creepy. The ritual sacrifice scene was neat. A pretty good story as far as Lupin episodes go. |
| This episode really needed to push the vampire shtick harder. It doesn't really seem like a vampire story until right at the end, with scene with the black robes. It's not like it was doing anything interesting with the idea, so aiming for camp was probably the way too go and it's starts out way too late with that. Unusually, Jigen's bullets actually draw a little bit of blood. |
Fronzel said: Unusually, Jigen's bullets actually draw a little bit of blood. Yeah, Jigen again kills people (which weren't really that guilty since they were just hypnotized/charmed), just like in episode 8 |

In which Lupin tries to recover Dracula's Heart, a ruby ring said to produce blood granting eternal youth once every 100 years. Well not quite eternal, it hasta be redone every hundred years to maintain the effect. You know, I only took one screengrab from this one, but it was because I got pretty absorbed in it. The general idea behind the plot, plus its significance with regards to Lupin and Fujiko was surprisingly interesting. Plus I'm a suck for horror imagery such as in the last section. I almost feel like this coulda made for a decent Lupin film or something. They've certainly done weirder ones. Also interestingly it was our second episode with someone tied up to a cross! Oh well Fujiko, you lost eternal youth, but got the ring. And in a sense you have eternal youth anyway, considering you've existed since the 60s and 70s and continue to be young and beautiful...the benefits of animation I suppose. XD  |
| Fujiko is saved but she's really ungrateful because she didn't know :P Haha I don't know about you but women will be angry like Fujiko if they knew anti-aging potion is destroyed xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| So that "mama" was pretty much a vampire who could "charm" others, and live forever as long as she had that ruby, huh. Funny that her charms didn't work with Lupin when they worked even on Fujiko. I guess he really hates working for other people, and he has to steal what he set his sights on too. lol |
