LUPIN III - THE FOURTH

There's more of them. Oh God they're everywhere-

If I'm gonna pretend this is an actual movie, I might as well draw the supporting cast too. (I'm also planning to draw a poster. I may have a problem.)

(see the introduction of The Fourth's Gang)

Lupin the Third's Gang! No introductions needed.

(True love is getting color-coordinated outfits with your partners in crime)

ICPO! By the time this "movie" happens, Yata's gotten to Inspector, and he's in charge of the Meiwaku case.

The Meiwaku Gang! They are composed of:

Naomi Motosuki: swordsman, Goemon's former apprentice, Jigen's niece. Hides her chaotic personality behind a special interest on Bushido. Regularly has to debunk the media's claims that she's Lupin the Fourth.

Hiro Kimura: hacker, ninja. Usually the brains of the operations. Pretty chill, you wouldn't peg him as a troublemaker, until you find him sneaking in your vents.

Milo Clarke: medic, getaway driver, holder of the braincell. Very sweet but won't hesitate to punch a bitch (and apologize afterwards). (belongs to @whosayscrimedoesntpay)

Kanako Misuki: explosive expert. Her personality matches her skills. She used to be part of a biker gang.

A lone wolf - well, fox. Renjiro is Jigen and Goemon's adopted son, and he's mostly doing his own thing. He has no interest in Lupin's legacy. He occasionally works with Meiwaku. (belongs to @whosayscrimedoesntpay )

.

How do they all tie in with Lupin the Fourth?

Maki has heard the rumors that Naomi is claiming the title of Lupin the Fourth. So on her first heist with her gang, she hacks into a TV channel to make her announcement on her gang's claim on the title - and to issue a challenge to Naomi.

(The TV channel tech guys are panicking.)

Naomi sighs. Not this shit again, he thinks. Before he even has to ask, Hiro's already hacked into the TV channel so Naomi can make his official refutation. No, he is not claiming the title of Lupin the Fourth, never has been, but he would love to meet Maki & co over tea and biscuits, and shit-talk Lupin together have a nice chat among people of the trade.

(The TV tech guys are freaking out, the journalists are overjoyed.)

The TV buzzes. Static flashes. Lupin the Third is hacking into the channel.

(The tech guys are quitting, the journalists are losing their shits.)

"What the hell are you guys doing???" he asks. "You can't be Lupin the Fourth! I'M NOT RETIRED!!!" (Jigen, Goemon and Fujiko are laughing their asses off in the background.)

More static. Rebecca Rosselini appears. "Oh, tesoro, you didn't know? I adopted them! They're all legally Lupins now. Ciao!"

Rebecca logs out, and all hell breaks loose.

A couple of days later, the news come of another guy, in a fox mask, who no one's ever heard of. "I'm Lupin the Fourth," he says.

The media once again lose their shits, and Maki begins preparing an official invitation to duel.

"What the hell are you doing," says Naomi to their cousin, the guy in the fox mask. "You've never cared for Lupin's legacy!"

"Unless it annoys a whole bunch of people," Renjiro replies.

"You are right," says Naomi. "I AM LUPIN THE FOURTH TOO!"

Lupin the Third is blowing a fuse trying to tell everyone he isn't fucking retired, Zenigata and Yata are having a stroke, and Jigen Goemon and Fujiko are 0.5 seconds away from also claiming to be Lupin the Fourth.

In the end, Lupin III snaps and claims he's Lupin the Fourth as well.

Y’know, one of the things this fandom seemed to be divided into two parts is about Frontier and Takuya’s “Dark Evolution” in the story. Some pointed it was “Vritramon rampaging phase” in the story, and some would consider “Takuya reverting into Flamon” as the dark evolution of this series.

First, what are the characteristics of Dark Evolution, according to the older three series + Savers? Mixing strong negative emotions and forcing your digimon to evolve. All cases of Dark Evolution before and after Frontier were like this. (I know, the OG Taichi was mostly by being a reckless idiot, but i like to think the novel version explained something a little more about this event)

Character has strong negative feelings and then forces their or someone else’s digimon to dark evolve into a mindless beast. – That’s how things worked in Adv’99, 02, Tamers and Savers.

(you may notice that instead of Daisuke dark evolving his partner, it’s Ken who forces a dark evolution on Taichi’s partner. Which implies yeah anyone could do that. Funny enough, Ken also fits the criteria established in those series: He is a self-absorbed and arrogant kid, so those emotions are mixed in the mix and this is why he evolves Agumon into SkullGreymon first. He only manages to get MetalGreymon virus after he cheats with his Evil/Dark Spiral. Meanwhile Daisuke lacks malice, lacks negative feelings. So he’s just a dumbass in ep 22 getting into trouble in the process.)

However, Ghost Game brought a new view of this concept by introducing GulusGammamon. As you can see, Gulus is a dark evolution (somehow) and it differs from every mindless-beast-on-rampage case we watched until now. But before going into GG take on it, I’d like to talk about the peculiar case in Adventure’s reboot series (aka Psi, or Adv:2020) first:

So, one of the things we saw in the episode from the reboot is that Taichi was getting consumed by the dark miasma around the place. We never had something like this before as well – this series was trying to “corrupt” Taichi too. The last time we saw a “tamer” corruption was on a Drama CD which was more a very weird and for fun story (this was done before the Drama CDs for digimon started to get serious stories) than something to take seriously. Anyway, the reboot was trying to corrupt Taichi first. Second is… Taichi dies for a moment which triggers Agumon’s dark evolution based on Agumon’s strong feelings (and the dark miasma, probably). This is going to be reused in Ghost Game, actually.

Now, back to Ghost Game!! Fun facts for you: Gulus is the only Gamma-form to not have a ring on his wrist/paw. Also, Gulus does not need Hiro to evolve either! But it was triggered by Gammamon’s strong feelings at first – when Bokomon died in front of him. Other cases were probably for survival in a life-or-death scenario for him or any of the trio. Gulus’ has another speech pattern from the other Gammamon forms, and the most important detail is he’s totally sentient. Gulus is more like another personality to Gammamon than being a feral beast in rampage.

But what can Ghost Game help us to decide which “dark evolution” scenario counts for Takuya/Frontier?

First of all, if we ignore Takuya for a moment, Frontier already has a “dark evolution” character – Kimura Kouichi. Duskmon and Velgmon are evil forms, and they’re purified into Loweemon and KaiserLeomon later. And heck, Kouichi himself is the “Warrior of Darkness” c’mon guys!!

BUT, Kouichi’s role is most suitable for the “redeemed villain” category. So yeah, which of Takuya’s cases suit the dark evolution criteria?

I’d like to reveal that, maybe, Frontier was ahead of its time. Because now that we got Ghost Game to break the norm and show us a new approach from this concept, it can help us here to notice Flamon was sort of a dark evolution for Takuya.

Frontier already makes clear that the Beast spirit forms cannot be controlled that easily, and I’ll shamelessly plug Shiha’s meta about everyone’s cases here in case we start the discussion about Izumi again.

So if we consider Vritramon the “dark evolution case”, you could say most of the kids in Frontier had it too. Which is odd, right?

But, if you consider Flamon an unusual dark evolution case, one like Gulus is now, it makes some sense. Dark evolution in the Digimon franchise is sort of “punishment” for not raising your digimon correctly – It’s a challenge, and you have to beat this obstacle to gain the new power/form to proceed. Dark evolution does not always mean “evil form” as well, just, as Gennai puts it in the end of Adventure, “a form not suitable for certain occasions” – So this concludes my thesis that Frontier started the unusual dark evolution forms instead.

Thank y’all for reading~

#digifood for thought #i don't own a tag for meta posts hahahaha okay sorry #digimon frontier #kanbara takuya
