Arsène Lupin/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Acceptable Political Targets: The Germans.
  • Complete Monster: Count Vorski, Dolores Kesselbach, Alexis Daubrecq. A lot of Lupin's antagonists were, because they crossed lines Lupin, thief and liar that he was, would never cross.
  • Epileptic Trees: The Arsène Lupin in Night Hood lives in the mid-20th century and is somewhat colder than the early 20th century Lupin from the books. Because of that fans have speculated that Night Hood's Lupin is actually the original Lupin's son, Lupin II and father of Lupin III.
  • Memetic Outfit: The monocle, top hat and cloak are traditional depiction of the attire, but generally Lupin dresses pragmatically, wearing what is suitable for the disguise of the day, or the task at hand.
  • Older Than They Think: Detective Conan fans might be surprised to know that Kaito Kid owes a lot to Lupin. From using the sleight of hand to steal jewellery to his dress code (with the only difference being that Lupin wore black while Kid wears white, and of course Lupin's cape didn't turn into a glider).
  • Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
  • Values Dissonance
