At the end of the movie it will be revealed that the Lupin we've been following is just the clone that was executed at the beginning of The Mystery of Mamo.

Did you noticed this amazing detail in The Castle of Cagliostro?😱😱🫣👽

If you pay close enough attention you can see that Goemon appears right at the beginning in the fiat before the title sequence, which makes no sense that he doesn't appear in said sequence, in the chase, when they rescue Clarisse or enter the country of Cagliostro.

All this is due to the fact that Hayao Miyazaki hates his ass.

IF I KILL HIM... HIS LIFE, HIS STYLE, HIS FACE... EVERYTHING WILL BE MINE

I'm still proud of this

Something I really like about the original Lupin III manga (1967-1969), and which was unfortunately lost in the later releases like the aizouban volumes and the english translation localization of Tokyopop, is the way Monkey Punch decides to organize the chapters. Although the manga has arcs/stories of one or two parts, the manga is divided into "Series" in which, depending on these, each chapter shares a common topic.

The versions that can currently be read have the chapters out of order, but there is nothing to worry about, since these stand on their own episodically and in some cases, the chapters that were originally two parts were converted into a single chapter, so you can just jump to any chapter of any series that catches your attention here.

Some examples of these are:

(The following chapter names mentioned here are from the Tokyopop edition which can be fully read on Mangadex)

Rat Clan Series: Set of chapters in which Lupin and his gang face the Rat/Nezumi clan.

•Chapter 69 - “Straight Flush”

•Chapter 31 - “You Dirty Rats”

•Chapter 70 - “The Rat Clan and The Sea”

•Chapter 71 - “To Old Acquaintance Being Shot”

All Cast Series: Several chapters in which the whole gang (Goemon, Fujiko, Jigen and Lupin) works together.

•Chapter 56 - “Triple Play”

•Chapter 57 - “The World on a String”

•Chapter 58 - “Camera Tricks”

•Chapter 59 - “Medal of Dishonor”

•Chapter 60 - “High Art”

Young Man series: Series of chapters focused mostly on young adolescents or young adults getting involved in the world of crime. (My favorite).

•Chapter 36 - “Tough Love”

•Chapter 67 - “To Live and Die in Japan”

•Chapter 73 - “The Think System”

Psychodelic Series: Chapters focused on, as the title implies, stories with psychedelic elements such as hypnosis or alusinations.

•Chapter 48 - “The Dream Sequence”

•Chapter 51 - “What the Skull Wants”

•Chapter 61 - “Death and Duality”

•Chapter 62 - “Double your Guns”

•Chapter 52 - “The Mind is a Mansion”

And FINNALLY.

The Confession Series: Chapters totally focused on Lupin's past and his relationship with his fucked up family.

•Chapter 37 - “Lupin The Third Vs. Arsene Lupin”

•Chapter 38 - “Inheritance”

•Chapter 39 - “Prodigy”

•Chapter 40 - “A Chip Off the Gold Block”

If this description or the plot of any of these characters sounds familiar to you, it is It is because these chapters were the total inspiration for the “Lupin Zero” mini-series, also highly recommended.

How do you interpret this scene?

I've always seen this scene as a parallel to the two ways a fan can see the franchise. Especially Jigen, who with his relaxed attitude doesn't give much importance to the different interpretations that the character can have and only cares about having fun.

Something I really like about Monkey Punch is how there are little to no panels without any background.

He always focused on making each panel look interesting with the different figures/shapes he gave to demonstrate the aura or emotional state of a character or situation.

I especially like this one where the broken glass in the background shows how frustrated and upset Lupin is.

I also love these two other examples, one is from one of the first volumes of the manga (Shin Lupin III) and another is closer to the end.

The panels with no backgrounds are used to represent silence like in the first pic (The chapter is literally title: “The Rest is Silent”), and there's something great about seeing a focus on Lupin without his eye still bloody and a totally black background.

These little details it's what makes it great.

It's very normal with new artists, especially those who are starting to make comics, they leave the characters talking on a white background.

A few months ago a friend told me that he didn't know what kind of background to put on his fanart and I told him: "just do this". A black background and a white circle in the middle behind the character.
