Lupin III: Difference between revisions

* [[Cool Airship]]: The first feature-length TV special, ''Goodbye Lady Liberty'', centres around Lupin stealing the Statue of Liberty, no less, using a giant balloon. The series being what it is, balloons or airships have been used on a number of occasions, such as in ''The Stolen Lupin''.

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Lupin always seems to have some bizarre escape plan just when he needs it for an [[Blast Out|escape]]. In the manga, at least in earlier chapters, it feels more like a reliance on [[Ass Pull|Ass Pulls]]. It's lampshaded in the second Red Jacket episode:

'''Lupin:''' Oh, sure, just turn around while I pull it out of the usual place! }}

* [[Crime-Time TV]]: Lupin fits in the [[Con Man]] and [[Gentleman Thief]] category, showing it doesn't have to be a one-or-the-other approach. The films tend to focus on the "help the police catch the really bad guys" variant.

* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Clarisse, Murasaki, Fujiko ([[Badass in Distress|sometimes]])... you can pretty much take your pick here. There's one in pretty much every Lupin movie or TV special, in fact; they often start out distrusting Lupin but come over to his side by the end.

* [[Double Entendre]]: Often.

** Hell, her very ''name'' basically translates to Twin Peaks.

* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|''[[Everybody's Dead, Dave|In Memory of the Walther P-38]]''}}.
