Line 205:
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Inspector Zenigata is a homage to Zenigata Heiji, the sleuth protagonist of a number of famous Japanese novels, films and TV series set in the [[Jidai Geki|Edo period]].
** In ''[[Lupin III/Recap/Green vs. Red|RecapGreen vs. Red]]'', the Lupin-wannabe protagonist is named "Yasuo" in homage to both Lupin's original voice actor, the late Yasuo Yamada, and the Lupin series's original animation director, Yasuo Ohtsuka. Another Lupin impersonator in the film has an afro, quite possibly a reference to [http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Luffyxii/nabeshin4.jpg Watanabe Shinichi] and his animated alter ego [[Excel Saga (anime)|Nabeshin]].
** In S3E25, the victim of the week tells Zenigata that he can become nobility if he captures Lupin. Cut to an [[Imagine Spot]] where joins the nobility -- accompanied by the fanfare at the beginning of ''[[Rose of Versailles]]''.
* [[Slipped the Ropes]]: Lupin can only be handcuffed if he lets you handcuff him. At one point, Fujiko uses this trait to convince Zenigata he's possessed: there's blood on the cuffs, which means he had to fight his way out of them... something the normal Lupin wouldn't have to do.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Fujiko is the only recurring female character in the franchise, any other female characters are so far only one-shots, as a [[Shout-Out]] to [[James Bond]], who was also an influence on the character.
