Septmb Episode 0 is Episode 0. It's basically just a special that only exists to give a send off to Jigen's original voice actor whom is retiring. It was made with the artstyle of Part V and it will be only next week that we're going to get the episode that is actually called "Episode 1" which will be the first one that has the new style for Part 6, the new Jigen voice actor and will start the actual storyline of the part. A shame Kiyoshi Kobayashi is retiring since he's been with us from the beginning but I'm glad he's getting a proper sendoff at least.
The animation style is similar to Part V but not exactly the same. Neither is it the Part 6 style. Shigatsu volume 2 soon?
Do I need to watch all parts with Lupin or can I start wherever I want? I only watched Lupin on TV as a kid and remember jackshit anyway. Guess I'll wait and pray someone uploads the bds. Anyone planning to watch this should probably watch Part 5 since couple of characters are from part 5. His infatuation with women, and Fujiko Mine in particular, is perhaps his biggest weakness, as it often lands him in undesirable situations.
He continues his grandfather's legacy of thievery. Lupin is acknowledged by virtually every law agency on earth as the world's number one thief. Often in his adventures, he and his colleagues, Daisuke Jigen and Goemon Ishikawa XIII , will take it upon themselves to foil other criminals engaged in more violent crimes. Forever extemporizing and reevaluating, Lupin has been responsible for heists no right-minded individual would believe possible. While arrested and jailed on numerous occasions, typically by his nemesis Inspector Zenigata , he has always managed to escape.
He has a fondness for fancy gadgets from time to time plus hands-on experience in many skills a thief would find useful. His infatuation with Fujiko Mine is perhaps his most significant weakness, as it lands him in undesirable situations most of the time. His personality and reputation are drastically different in the original manga. Lupin is shown being the 3rd generation leader of the Lupin Clan, an underworld criminal mastermind with henchmen all over the globe, a professor of the arts of theft and assassination, and he is wanted for substantially more serious crimes, such as murder, spree killing, sexual assault, and rape.
Lupin's ethnic origins haven't been specified. Officially in modern media, his origin is unknown such as in the OVA Green vs. Red where a dossier held by the Inspector Zenigata indicates his place of birth as "unknown" and his profile in Lupin the 3rd Part 5.
This also also listed as unknown on the Lupin World website. He admits being French like his grandfather, but apparently lives in Japan. At one occasion, Lupin claimed to have taken his first bath in the River Seine. Goemon immediately countered by saying Lupin wasn't Japanese, but still worthy of respect. Also, Lupin can speak in gratuitous French. In both the manga and Lupin the 3rd Part 1 , Lupin tricks Kyosuke Mamo by dressing as a Japanese peasant and acting as though they are in feudal Japan.
Lupin specifically states to Mamo that the ancestor whose face he most resembles was Japanese. This statement implies that Lupin was either aware of the family's history stemming from a Japanese ancestor marrying a French woman. He is using that information to further convince Mamo that he has gone back in time OR it could be Lupin making up something untrue to confuse Mamo.
Lupin speaks often of both his famous grandfather and his father, both of whom were thieves. He's forever quoting his grandfather's advice and has attempted to complete or repeat heists attempted by his ancestors with good or bad luck.
In the manga and early episodes of Lupin the 3rd Part 1 , Lupin is shown to be remorseless and psychotic with a twisted sense of humor. He has murdered people, decapitated a guard dog, his relationship with people are on business terms and regularly sexually assaulted or blackmailed women for sexual favors to get what he wants.
He rarely steals items or plans to steal them but doesn't follow them through and is more of an assassin or just wants to screw around with people. The only woman that he was kind to was Linda.
His most common killing methods usually stabbing his victims right in the spine or using bombs, with the occasional lynching with a rope. In the early original manga, Lupin was a lone wolf with no true friends. He was a party animal, a popular employer and teacher none the less.
He is also very much the ladies' man, though Fujiko is frequently beyond his grasp. Zenigata despised him with every fiber of his being. He rarely did things as a team with Jigen , as the two didn't get along that well. Concerning Goemon , he was still a rival. Fujiko was a sex object and there was no romantic chemistry between her and Lupin. His personality was drastically altered for the anime from Part 2 Episode 2 to make him more appealing.
While Lupin is a thief, he will go to great lengths to right injustice. While he sees nothing wrong with his chosen profession, he reminds anyone who asks that the people from whom he steals are people who can take the loss and that there are worse people than he in this world. Lupin had adopted a policy where he stays away from murder and honest money. Furthermore, Lupin often takes it upon himself and his gang to stop criminals engaged in more violent crimes and leave them for Zenigata to arrest.
He fancies himself a ladies' man, although his actual success with women is erratic. His abilities with the opposite sex tend to fluctuate with the writer. In the movie The First , Lupin has somewhat toned down his usual lust for women, as he did not flirt as often with Laetitia. In all, Lupin can best be defined as an intelligent guy with a child's fun-loving demeanor, laughing and quipping in the face of opposition with a handy trick always available to maintain an upper hand.
It appears Lupin loves to steal more than actually having the treasure he sought. There have been times he has had what he has stolen lost or he intentionally threw it away.
It appears Lupin relishes more of the challenge of stealing and thus is usually not that upset when he ends up empty-handed as long as he beat the security and stole the object of his desire away. There also have been times when Lupin only stole the object in question to give to someone else, such as if it rightfully belonged to them or they needed it more than he did.
Miyazaki's interpretation of him in the movie The Castle of Cagliostro depicts him as regretting his wild life, although in Lupin the 3rd Part 4 and Part 5 he's somewhat back to his old self again.
When not seeking fortune from his adventures, Lupin unwinds by a variety of pastimes. His most-witnessed hobbies are fishing, nightclubbing, gambling, playing pool, watching TV, being part of cafe society, and dating beautiful women.
He's a connoisseur of international food and wine, drinks liquor, enjoys beer, tea, and coffee. In Lupin the 3rd Part 5 , he is known to love eating galettes. He also smokes cigarettes and occasionally cigars and kreteks; in the manga, he's seen smoking a briar pipe occasionally.
