Coming out of retirement with another Lupin III fanfic because ok yes I am susceptible to the global imperative to share my own young Lupin and Lupin III family thoughts
This is a fic about Lupin and his grandfather...no, not that grandfather, the other guy, who lives in Hokkaido. It’s also a fic about Lupin’s nogoodnik dad, and also about Lupin’s mother and what kind of person she’d have to be to marry a guy like that. It’s a fic about being trans and taking your trans polycule home to meet the parents. It’s like the Fuma Conspiracy, if instead they went home to visit Lupin’s mundane family and dragged them into a whole lot of trouble. It’s my magnum opus and someone should hire me to make this OVA

Lupin III Final Chapter Review
hi guys so guess what tokyopop did they ruined the final chapterrrr!!! yay!!!!!!!!!! this makes my job so much harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The final chapter sort of continues of on chapter 87, but the events of those past chapters are a bit removed from this one.
Lupin is still on the island, and despite what the left cover may imply, Jigen and Goemon are not in this chapter. i know were off to a great start already
Lupin takes a car towards the island, while having sex with Fujiko. Afterward, Lupin leaves the car and Fujiko finds an explosive in the form of a shoe left behind by Lupin. The car explodes and Fujiko asks Lupin what his deal was.
Tumblr media
And well, that's the deal! There's two Fujikos!
Lupin is obviously annoyed by this, and states that he's only came to the island to take a break from thieving. To find out that not only one, but two Fujikos has infiltrated his family's island... peeves him a bit.
He says that once someone infiltrates into the Lupin Empire, they'll never leave alive... well that's goood to know!
Suddenly, as Lupin is resting on a bed, he sees...
Tumblr media
AYO WHAT THE HELL IS THAT is essentially what Lupin says once he sees that... monkey.... imp..... demon.... alien thing???
He asks one of the Fujikos if she has something to do with this, which she claims that she doesn't know what it is and she's not the fake Fujiko.
With no point to go off of, Lupin decides that he has to kill the intruder to secure his empire's secrets. A mysterious voice then speak to Lupin supporting his decision, and he recognizes this voice to be... his dad!?
Tumblr media
Lupin enters the empire's base of operation, and reunites with not only his dad, but his mom!! and grandpa!! (wait what hold on i thought in the message from the confession arc lupin said that arsene died already um ok thats weird)
They're all very happy to see him, especially his momma, who saids that he's done so much for the empire, but people see him as a petty thief..? what does that mean?
His grandpa still has a shit ton of women with him, and scares Lupin into thinking that they were the women he slept with and now he has a ton of sons to take care of. But in reality those kids were just... his uncles.
Tumblr media
Dude this is why i hate the grandpa he sucks
Lupin then gets serious and informs them that there are intruders in the island, which Lupin II and Arsene already knew. They've already captured one of them.
The two Fujiko then show up, and both of there clothes are suddenly ripped.. to find out that one of them are a tattoo on that back of that creature Lupin saw earlier!!!
Tumblr media
Arsene explains that the intruder is from the Pandora Clan, which is a formidable organization that stores the oldest and most powerful secrets... and they're now targetting the Lupin Empire...
Arsene then kills the woman, and she disappears, with only the tattoo remaining on the wall she was up against... and Lupin II says that it's perhaps time to retire this empire and start their plan to build a second empire, and to observe the Pandora Clan in secret.
Tumblr media
2nd: It seems, that they've discovered the secrets of this empire! 1st: I suppose. So, the moment has come to stop all acitivities of the Lupin Empire!
2nd: Then shall me commence the contruction of the second Lupin Empire that we've planned? 1st: Pandora..!! How about we observe their movements for now?
Then, the three Lupins walk out the base, ending off the first manga series of Lupin III.
The End.
. . .
Hm... the Pandora Clan huh? They seem pretty interesting. It turns out that Monkey Punch made a manga series about them, supposely basing off of the ending of Lupin III!
That's sick, let's see if I can read it.
Tumblr media
...oh

Lupin Zero Sucks (Clickbait)
Spoilers. Duh.
Lupin Zero is a 2022-23 6 episode miniseries following the adventures of Lupin III and Daisuke Jigen as teenagers. I watched the full series recently. It’s very rare I watch a show and am both in awe and also disappointed. Here are my thoughts:
Chapter 1: Aesthetic
Lupin III Part 1 is my favorite Part. It’s where I think the characterizations are at their best and the A-Production episodes with the involvement of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata are some of the best Lupin adventures to this day (not a big fan of Osumi’s “deep and emotional” episodes, will make another essay about this probably). Zero takes a lot of influence from Part 1 and I love it. The music is on point and matches with the very late 60s-early 70s stylings of the first series. The animation and expressiveness is also on point. The artstyle is always distinctive and it’s amazing how they were able to translate the artstyle of the original series into a digital era when I felt like previous attempts (see: digital Part 1 art, Return of Pycal (sorry Shmeepy)) failed. I hate the filter applied over the series though. Besides it just muddying up very nicely done backgrounds and artwork, it also makes the whole series feel like a TikTok “edit”. It’s gross. But at least everything else about the series’s aesthetic is strong enough that this is only a minor nitpick.
Chapter 2: Lupin and Jigen
The best part of Lupin Zero is definitely the relationship between Lupin and Jigen. Jigen is a stone-cold criminal with experience to his name at the start of the series and Lupin is (though he wouldn’t admit it) a rookie crook. Both have exactly what the other one needs. Lupin gives Jigen the love Jigen seemingly gets from nobody else, and Jigen provides Lupin with a partner in crime. Their dynamic as the show goes on, especially prominent in Episode 4 (The Best One) and Episode 5 (Had the great scene between them) is great and the highlight of Zero. The gay vibes are strong on this one and I’m pretty sure this is the part of the show the writers wanted to do the most. Like I said earlier, the show ties in with Part 1 very nicely and the Lupin-Jigen dynamic is no exception. I love Part 1 Jigen so it’s no wonder why Zero Jigen is also great. I like when he Has Fun and Smiles I wish they let him do that in Part 2 and the new stuff.
Chapter 3: Lupin and his legacy
I really like how they executed Lupin’s relationship with his family. Lupin (the Third) and Arsene Lupin both want him to become a thief, but Lupin the Third wants to forge his own path instead of adhering to his grandpa’s expectations. Meanwhile, Lupin II wants Lupin to follow the “straight and narrow”. I think this show not only speaks to the feelings of teenagers of every generation, but especially the generation growing up in the 50s and 60s who would become adults in the 70s. Speaking as a teenager who is in the Gen Z generation I understand how it is to feel the weight of the previous generations and their expectations for you, but I also know this was an especially prevalent issue amongst the youth of the mid 20th century, and I think Lupin in Zero really represents that. At the end of the show, he is able to forge his own path and later becomes the Lupin we know and love, resolving this generational conflict. This is another aspect done great in Zero.
Chapter 4: Lupin and Yoko
Fuck Yoko. She ruins the show. This isn’t a joke.
Yoko is… I think? Lupin’s love interest? “But isn’t that Jigen-” THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING! The show felt the incessant need to add a female lead so they could have boobies on screen. The problem is it’s really gross in Zero. Yoko is an adult ass woman flirting with Lupin the 13 year old and it’s very groomy. In the first episode she even sings about forbidden love (with someone younger than her) to Lupin and Jigen. She contributes close to nothing to the show up until Episodes 5 and 6 (a two-parter). In those episodes, she has a plot with this guy named Gaucho who is like, the villain, and like… She loves him but she also loves Lupin, and it gets really convoluted and dumb. If it seems like I don’t care, it’s because I don’t. 
At the end of the show Gaucho dies and Yoko is in a life-or-death situation, so she decides to kill herself to die with Gaucho. She does this in front of two children, one of whom she is fully aware that he's in love with her. This is a character we are meant to feel sad about when she dies.
She's a total creep and throws me out of the show whenever she's on-screen. I feel like if she didn’t show any interest in Lupin besides an innocent friendship, and Lupin just fell in love with her anyway, that would be significantly better. As is, she gets way too flirtatious with someone literally less than half her age for me to give a fuck when she dies.
I think if they really needed her to be in the show (she does not need to be there) they should’ve removed her and Lupin’s “romance” entirely and instead tried to parallel Lupin and Jigen’s romance plot with her and Gaucho, showing how she and Gaucho are like a bad version of the two. That, in my opinion, would’ve worked a lot better.
Chapter 4: Too Much, Too Little
My biggest problem with Lupin Zero is it tries to cram too much into 6 episodes. If it had just stuck with Lupin and Jigen’s relationship blossoming + Lupin vs. his family, it would’ve been killer, but the stuff with Yoko as well as the final two episodes’ weird war-government plot just muddies up a great idea. It leaves me disappointed because I think Lupin Zero had so much potential but it was ruined by the writers forcing in ideas that detract from the themes already present instead of adding to them. 
Conclusion
Overall, is Lupin Zero worth a watch?
I mean it’s only 6 episodes, you might as well if you like Part 1 or Lupin x Jigen or anything of that sort.
But do I think it’s as great as people have said it is?
God, no. It’s messy and I think overall it’s a 6 or 7 out of 10. 7.5 on a good day.
Good but nothing remarkable. But if this kind of show is what Lupin III series…es went forward with? I wouldn’t be mad, not one bit.
Anyway don't forget to like and subscribe for more bad takes, ok bye see you when I remember I have a tumblr again
