didn’t quite do it justice, but this bit from part v has really mattered to me ever since I saw it. It honestly encapsulates a lot of what i love about this series - the weight of legacy and what it means to carry that with you, knowing the odds will always be against you, needing so desperately for your life to have meant something, good or bad, but also the pure unbridled joy of knowing that the story is ultimately what you make of it - it’s a hard thing to put into words. These old folks really matter to me, and came into my life at a time i really needed to hear this.
Tl;dr: words are hard, and this show makes me cry happy tears

What do you mean that Lupin III part 5 isn't about Lupin and his totally not husband Zenigata adopting Ami and co-parenting her??? Pretty sure that's what it's about I mean their daughter literally thought they were basically married.

The FujiLup Divorce
So. Part 5 all takes place post divorce, we know this, which shapes why everyone is acting the way they are. That’s not the point of this I want to talk about what actually seems to happen with the divorce.
So. This whole thing is sort of set up for disaster, because the idea to marry Lupin comes in the wake of the Rebecca situation. Fujiko’s anger at the wedding is partially about the treasure and not being included but it’s more so about being caught off guard by the idea of Lupin getting married.
Women are constantly told that getting married is just something you will do. So even subconsciously Fujiko may have just been assuming that some day her and Lupin would get married. Not because she particularly wants to marry him (or anyone for that matter) but because getting married is just the thing you do.
That being the base this marriage is formed on already gives it this heavy weight of obligation and jealousy and like Lupin is making up for the Rebecca incident.
But despite this Lupin and Fujiko get married, and for a while it works. The marriage is shiny and new, and still entertaining enough for them. Lupin is enjoying being domestic and playing Mr. Husband and Fujiko always loved being doted on.
After a while, It’s Fujiko that realizes it’s not working. Lupin is playing Mr. Husband to the best of his ability, they’re in Paris, they’re supposed to be happy. But Fujiko realizes having Lupin has taken the thrill out of life. It’s bad enough they’re not stealing and scheming but she thought that with his personality, if anyone could make domestic life interesting it would be Lupin.
But there’s no chase, no thrill, no uncertainty. Not when they wake up in the same bed every morning, unless he’s gotten up early to surprise her with breakfast. He’s doting and loving and everything she should want.
But since when has Fujiko Mine ever done what she was Expected to.
So she leaves.
‘Adieu’ written in lipstick the only note she gives.
And here’s where it gets good (and tragic).
Lupin has two choices.
Chase her to the ends of the earth and refuse to let her go when he catches her, and to let her go.
Fujiko thinks she wants the chase, but really? If Lupin chased her down, caught her and refused to let go?
She’d hate him for it. She’d feel trapped and suffocated and everything good about the two of them would be gone in that moment. After that she’d be trying to Escape him. He’d be turning into just another man in her eyes.
So Lupin, knowing there’s no winning here, but at least that losing her for now means there will be a chance to have her again in the future, let’s go. He doesn’t fight it.
She’s mad he didn’t fight it, obviously. Why wouldn’t he fight it, doesn’t he care, doesn’t he want her?
He loses her in the short term.
But in the end that was the right choice.
Because she comes back.
They’re never going to be the same again. There’s always going to be this shadow on their relationship (which in my opinion is why the Part 6 kiss in the rain is so tragic), but they’re able to still be in each others lives. To have each-other in smaller ways, and that’s really the best outcome they could have asked for.

Who knew clarisse learned how to drive a car and how to use a smartphone time flies
-----
OH MY GODS NEVER CAUGHT THAT???? And I watched Part 5 at least twice!
However I'm not sure we watched the same movies, because the first time we see her in Castle of Cagliostro, she is literally driving a car XD ...Well, passed out at the wheel. But she must have driven some distance at least.
Here she seems to be the passenger, she's on the right seat and you can kinda see someone's hand on the wheel on the left.

my controversial lupin iii opinion is that the end of part 5 rules actually (even tho the very last episode is kind of a mess and obscures some the cool shit going on beneath the surface in its haste to wrap everything up)
okay. so hear me out but I think it’s a mistake to read the end of part 5 as a traditional narrative that actually takes place at some point in the (already convoluted lol) lupin iii continuity. in my estimation it’s not, it’s more like... metanarrative of the whole show/franchise. a series of metaphors. a story about the story of lupin iii. no, lupin hasn’t actually been wearing a mask the whole time we’ve seen him in canon and he’s just some random dude we don’t know under there -- except on a metaphorical, emotional level. that is kind of the point of him as a character; the tension between how much we get to glimpse of his honest internal life and how much is withheld from us (making us want to share in it all the more) is part of the enduring appeal.
and letting fujiko finally see behind that mask in one stroke resolves the doubts and struggles in their relationship that’s been running through the whole season, doubts that the ‘traditional’ forms of affirming/validating love and intimacy in a heteropatriarchy -- marriage, cohabitation, all the things they’re grieving didn’t work out for them the whole season, ‘what’s wrong with us’ -- never could resolve. y’know it’s like that quote from the seven husbands of evelyn hugo:
People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.  
that’s the metaphor there. if you interpret it literally then yes, that whole scene is very very blind shock value stupid lol, but for those last few episodes of part 5 the fourth wall is so thin you can read the braille writing on the wall through it. (fujiko is sitting in a cage wearing a wedding dress. I don’t think the symbolism is particularly subtle lmao.) lupin finally letting himself be seen by her fully, and her understanding and accepting it, is more important than anything society has told them proves the ‘realness’ of a relationship, and it’s what helps them get through the grief of what they thought they ‘should’ be to each other to the realization of what they already are to each other and that they are enough, they have nothing they need to prove to anyone -- to themselves, or to the world. they do love each other. that’s what matters. and so it goes, that’s the sort of storytelling they’re doing in that last arc. which admittedly is confusing because it’s not what they’ve been doing in the rest of the season at all so if you haven’t been picking up on the nebulous narrative ~*vibes*~ signposting it, you’d understandably be extremely confused. 
(btw one of my favourite scenes of all of lupin iii canon is in the penultimate part 5 episode, where lupin and jigen are sharing smokes (in the aftermath of jigen’s perhaps sexiest scene ever), and lupin essentially lets jigen in on the secret that they’re fictional characters. and after thinking for a few moments jigen is like ‘I get to be a story with you? AND I get my own cool theme tune? heh. yeah, I can live with that’. it’s just soooooooooooooooooooooo... it makes my writing brain go crazy. what a strange yet beautiful way for fictional characters to show love -- to help someone else see the truth of their own self/nature on a metatextual level. peak sometimes-benevolent trickster god lupin AND partners being partners content. jigen is considering his own potential obsolescence in a changing world and lupin tells him that stories live as long as they’re needed, as long as they resonate -- a good story is never obsolete, it will always have been even as it ends. also the vague vibe from how jigen reacts to lupin going to fujiko in that last ep that he has already seen beneath that mask, he already knows… brainworms for days and years and decades folks)
I really like the idea that castle of cagliostro still is the endpoint of the lupin iii canon timeline as we have it today -- miyazaki hit on something compelling and melancholy there and I think deserves to be conserved -- but I don’t believe that’s incompatible with the end of part 5 at all, even though it ‘calls back’ to it like it’s something that’s already happened. because the end of part 5 is not uh, for lack of a better word, real. it’s in sort of a dreamlike space of commentary and -- I say this with love -- fond retrospective franchise navelgazing. and it’s been 50 years, some navelgazing is well earned frankly.
(of course people are perfectly free to hate part 5 and especially the ending for any reason they so wish!  the ending is atrociously paced and the way they wrap up ami’s arc especially is uh, how do you say, unconscionable and slapdash, and the season has plenty of other problems. but to me there are so many interesting meaningful things going on at the end there and I wanted to ramble about it some)

A Year of Lupin
Part 4
Part IV: The Italian Adventure
My favorite series of the Lupin franchise. The adventures mainly take place in Italy, and I absolutely love it! The main story went from one place to another, and the side stories were incredible. The opening of this Lupin is the best version of the Lupin theme. The animation style is so creative along with the color palette. The Japanese and English cast were brilliant. The music score of Yuji Ohno is amazing as always, but it's not included in the English dub. I recommend watching both to get the best of both worlds but also, I really love this Lupin so much.
Tumblr media
Part V: Misadventures in France
Lupin is back with modern technology. The stories are treated like episodes themselves with multiple episodes telling the main story. The filler episodes are also great where we see Lupin in different jacket colors. I'm not a fan with certain things in the series like the treatment of Ami and the finale didn't feel complete with quick resolutions. The references in this series were good, but when they were a part of a main story, I didn't like that. Still, the concept of Lupin being in the social media wasn't bad. I just wish some things were done better. Everything from the cast, music, and animation is the same as before: wonderful.
Tumblr media
Prison of the Past 
This special blew my expectations. I love this style of the animation, the story was incredible with its action along with the lore of the county the gang are in, and some characters in this special were great. It's on the same level as Tokyo Crisis; I have a lot of fun watching a prison break, royalty mysteries, and stolen treasure.
Tumblr media
Is Lupin Still Burning?
The OVA is a celebration the 50th anniversary of Lupin Part 1, Is Lupin Burning. They reuse the same premise but add time travel that can affect Lupin's future. It's pretty cool to see how far Lupin has come as a franchise with the animation evolving and the bond that the gang share will always be the same.
Tumblr media
Lupin the Third: The First
The first Lupin movie in CG, and it was delightful. I was worried that the CG wouldn't be good, but they have made it so good to translate the antics and expressions that the Lupin universe has. It wasn't stiff and basic; it was fluid and detailed. The story was good, and both sub & dub cast were incredible. Laetitia was so sweet, and I hope she gets to excel in Boston University.
Tumblr media
Part VI
The most recent of the Lupin franchise where Lupin cross paths with Sherlock Holmes and his mother. There were two story arcs in this show, and I think it could have worked if they didn't have a lot of filler episodes. There were unanswered things that were never mentioned again; however, I like the finale better than Part 5. The animation was mostly fine, but all those CG cars were terrible. The cast were great, and for the Japanese cast, I enjoy Akio Otsuka's performance as Jigen. I'm glad they gave a farewell to Kiyoshi Kobayashi. Overall, it was good series and can't wait to see the gang again.
