After dig into the infos I can found online.

I think both 51 or 52 episodes are correct......just depand on which TV station or stream sources you watch.

The finale (ep.51) " 大晦日の幸福 " is a 1 hour long special.......which due to the fact that the series was broadcast though a netwreok chain of TV stations ,some of them cut it into two diffrent 30 minutes long episode ( 「年末の納豆マン」and「大晦日の幸福」) so they don't have to adjust the broadcasting schedule for a double length finale. And even the re-run on original main broadcaster Fuji TV, used the two episode method instead one longer episode method.......The DVD release and the official online stream service are also 52 episode.

And all this extra info CAN be FOUND on the Japanese Wikipedia page......it's the footnote ("脚注") No.8 of the page.

" 最終回は1時間枠の放送のため、「年末の納豆マン」「大晦日の幸福」の2回に分けて放送の地域有り. フジテレビの再放送でも2回に分割された. DVD、東映チャンネルの放送、東映特撮 YouTube Officialやフジテレビオンデマンド等のネット配信でも分割放送（収録・配信）されている. "

basiclly translat to: "For the broadcasting of the one hour long finale, in some areas ,the broadcast was divided into two half hour episodes . Fuji Television's rebroadcast was also split into two episodes. DVD, Toei Channel broadcast, Toei Sci-Fi Live YouTube Official and Fuji TV On Demand etc. are also divided broadcasting."
