History Recap / LupinIIIS2E107

* CloseCallHaircut: Jigen recieves a new parting via bullet from Zenigata.

Jigen and Goemon are far less thrilled for Lupin, figuring that Fujiko is up to something as always. They warn their friend of the diamond's notorious history and add legend tells it is demon possessed. Lupin is intrigued by the curse, and only becomes more determined to take it. That night, he breaks into the room where the diamond rests and is confronted with obstacle after obstacle, thrown out by the demon of the diamond. After struggling time and again, he manages to blow up the case and make off with his treasure in his treasured Mercedes. All four tires promptly flatten, the engine explodes, and the car bursts into flame. An attempt to get away by horse and buggy also ends in flames and a night hanging off a cliff for the master thief until Jigen and Goemon find him to help him up. Lupin crows over his success, but Goemon warns him trouble is afoot; Zantetsuken's blade is now shadowed, indicating danger is imminent.

''Shin LupinIII'': '''"A Wedding Ring is an Accursed Trap"'''

* HolyBurnsEvil: Averted hard. The demon actually kisses Lupin's cross, causing it to melt.

* TheAllegedCar: Lupin's Mercedes, thanks to help from the demon.

* ArtifactOfDeath: The queen mother of them all, the Hope Diamond. Complete with an adorable little demon of doom!

* {{Gonk}}: Fujiko, after the curse hits her. Subverted at first as it's a mask, and then played with when her reflection only shows her the same.

* RuleOfFunny: It's never explained exactly where all those gem came from at the end, but it's worth it to see Fujiko terrified of diamonds for a change.

* ClingyMacGuffin: The Hope Diamond keeps reappearing, even after Fujiko throws it out the window.

* ImpactSihouette: Left by Lupin when he runs from the church.

The next morning, Fujiko awakens in her apartment, finally relieved to be rid of the Hope Diamond and its curse. Needless to say, she is aghast when she spies the floor of her bedroom is totally covered in diamonds. Attempts to flee leave her buried in piles of them. Luckily, Lupin is in a helicopter nearby; in spite of all she put him through, he leaps to her rescue. Goemon dryly observes that the real curse is Lupin's hopeless devotion to Fujiko.

As Lupin moans over Fujiko, Zenigata appears to confront his old foe about stealing the Hope Diamond. The gang flees as usual, but Zenigata, thanks to the diamond's demon, becomes a much better shot and a real threat to them, managing to graze both Lupin and Jigen! The two "wounded" ride on Goemon piggybacked and attempt to flee. Fujiko, meanwhile, is having her own issues. A would-be thief takes the diamond, but is promptly struck down by the demon, enabling her to get it back. A mischievous crow likewise causes her problems, ending up with her down a sewer and covered in muck. Said crow also ends up taking Zenigata's bullet for Lupin and his gang. The guys steal a car and run, while the mucky Fujiko tracks down the crow's trail and takes the diamond back.
