Line 101:
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Lupin acts more or less as this in The Shell Shard, The Golden Triangle and The Island Of Thirty Coffins, his role in each being little more than a cameo where he's instantly on top of things and solves everything.
* [[Expy]]: Isidore Beautrelet from ''The Hollow Needle'' is an homage to [[Joseph Rouletabille]].
* [[Fakeout Escape]]: Lupin swears he will escape from jail, and he does, briefly, but gets back in. But when he comes up for trial, Inspector Ganimard suddenly stands up in court and swears that the man in the dock is not Lupin—heLupin -- he has used the fake escape attempt to substitute a flunky in his place. The court has no choice but to let the man go. Of course, the man really was Lupin, and Ganimard fell for it not only because Lupin is a [[Master of Disguise]], but also because he genuinely expected Lupin to fulfill his promise of escaping.
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: Lupin seems to have a certain respect for [[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist|Inspector Ganimard]], and there are hints that the Inspector returns the affection.
* [[Gentleman Thief]]
Line 148:
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Sherlock Holmes was brought in specifically to be Lupin's [[Worthy Opponent]]. It's [[Lampshaded]] many times throughout their meetings.
** In the ''[[Night Hood]]'' cartoon, Lupin seemed to genuinely respect Inspector Ganimard for his skills as a police detective. His disdain was reserved more for Sergeant Folenfant, whose name means "stupid child" in French.
* [[Writing Around Trademarks]]: An intriguing [[Real Life]] example; [[wikipedia:ArsèneArs%C3%A8ne Lupin#Ars.C3.A8ne Lupin and Sherlock Holmes|After Conan Doyle threatened to sue]], LeBlanc changed the [[Great Detective]] in his stories to Herlock Sholmes.
* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: The second and third crossovers with Sherlock Holmes read like this. In the second crossover, The Blonde Phantom, Holmes {{spoiler|manages to find and capture Lupin's main accomplice, the eponymous Blonde Phantom herself, and has a cab waiting outside to take them both to the station while he plans his next move. Three guesses on who is driving the cab. Later Lupin sends Holmes all tied up back to England, hoping to never see him again, and gets ready to clear his hideout of many years, since Holmes knowing about it compromises its safety. Guess which English detective is waiting for Lupin to show up.}} Here's a hint: it's not [[Miss Marple]].
* [[You Killed My Father]]
