This was a very funny episode. Why it is rated so low? (I think it might be the lowest rated episode from the first Lupin the Third series)
Now that Hayaoi Miyazaki and Isao Takahata had taken over the series, the overall tone is much more light-hearted, with lower-stakes, less violence, and without anybody dying (for the most part)
Zenigata has a more prominent role, and his personality is much cartoonishly wackier in comparison with the first episodes, but here all those elements worked very well due the entertaining plot.
The scene with Zenigata and Fujiko dancing is both one of the funniest and most adorable moments of the overall series.
