I think Lupin has the same problem One Piece had that it's become such a long series that casual fans find it intimidating to watch and casual fans don't know where to start watching. I also think maybe marking the newer seasons as "Part IV" and "Part V" probably didn't help and maybe made fans think they had to go back and watch all the old episodes to watch the newer stuff.

How would you feel if someone called Lupin "garbage"? |
You could say it. You’d just be wrong.

Well look at Adult Swim starting with Part II before Part I because it’s what Geneon Dubbed with no Part I in sight in America at the time. Also no Part III and still not brought over to America. With Part II, the 1st episode was about a reunion with the main characters. It made no sense at the time but I still enjoyed staying up to watch it on Adult Swim even if it was on school nights.

Honestly, Gundam is doing worse than Lupin and set the new record for the lowest-rated Toonami premiere of all time. Put Lupin at the even 3am and Gundam at 3:30. (I know that's not much better, but it makes more sense than knocking Lupin to the last premiere slot.)

If Toonami "hated" Lupin, they wouldn't have even picked up Part 5 after Part 4 underperformed. |
I mean Part 2 wasn't exactly a ratings hit on Adult Swim back in the day.

The ratings are around where One Piece was before it left Toonami. I think it is a show that wond up on Toonami a bit too late. |
That would be my guess. For a while, it baffled me that it could go from the first slot to the last, but even the most recent season they aired is about a year old now. Assuming Toonami picks up season 4, maybe they'll have learned from it to air the episodes a few weeks after the simuldub like they've done with other shows.
Personally speaking, I suppose it doesn't matter for me since about half of Toonami tends to be things I've seen already. Although, it would be nice if those shows were towards the end of the block so I would be less likely to fall asleep during the shows I haven't seen.
