Welcome!! This is a role-play blog dedicated to bringing the adventures of Lupin III and Daisuke Jigen to life! On occasion, you might even see Goemon Ishikawa and Inspector Zenigata make special appearances...
A few things to bear in mind when interacting:
➻ Low Activity. I’ve got a life outside of Tumblr. I might even go stretches of time without ever checking my blog thanks to that. But rest assured, I still want to role-play with you!
➻ Literate. I take my grammar and vocabulary fairly serious, and want to give you the most understandable replies I can muster! If I ever need to clarify something, please don’t hesitate to message me!
➻ Friendly. At least, I try to be! I just wanna love Lupin and co. and share my passion with you all! Please, don’t ever feel intimidated, I promise I’m an absolute softy! I’m here to make friends!
Note: I don’t tag everything with triggers, so if there’s something you need me to tag for you, please let me know and I’ll be happy to tag them in the future!!!
This is dedicated to thievinggentleman. I have been wanting to make a video with this song for a very long time. This was a very fun video to make and I hope you like it!
Ladies, gents and enbies, we're getting a prequel miniseries! And Telecom's involved, so you know the animation's gonna get UH-MAY-ZING!!
Quite a bunch of Part 5's crew return for this one. We have Daisuke Sakou in the director's seat, who was the chief animation director on Part 5's divisive yet visually stunning finale (and also wrote and storyboarded the pinkjacket episode), Ichirou Okouchi returns for series composition, and character design is supplied by Asami Taguchi, who was the assistant character designer on Part 4. One interesting change is the music composer: Instead of Yuji Ohno, Otomo Yoshihide will be filling in, and judging by what we hear from the trailer, it will be harkening back to the more eclectic style of jazz from Part 1.
Lupin Zero will go live on HIDIVE December 16th !!!
And thanks to HIDIVE for providing a plot summary for this special mini series.
(Synopsis)
"Lupin III, a bored junior high schooler in Tokyo, takes an interest in a young Daisuke Jigen, a mysterious and impressive marksman. Lupin III strikes up a conversation with Jigen at a nightclub, however during their talk, Jigen concludes that Lupin III is simply a privileged and naïve boy from a well-to-do family and doesn’t want anything to do with him. However, while helping the nightclub singer Yoko, who is being pursued by the yakuza, Jigen learns that Lupin III is a descendant of the legendary thief…"

"Marie!?" the thieving father exclaimed, surprise in his voice as the caught the young lady in his arms, giving a little pivot with each step as if twirling her about. For some reason, and call him crazy, he didn't expect to see the young lady today. But...
Well, admittedly, he was thrilled! While on the road, while in hiding, the man never stopped thinking about his daughter. In fact, now fullying hugging the girl, he grinned and began to shift a hand into his pocket.
"You're just the girl I was hoping to see, sweetie!" Pulling from his pocket in a grand fashion, he revealed an expensive-looking box and presented it to her. "One of the last swipes I made before going AWOL was a royal heiress whose entire facade was 'pretty like a rose'..."
With a bit of dexterity, he popped open the box and revealed a diamond-encrusted pure gold hairclip that was designed to look like a rose and its thorny stem.
ooc // so, a little context as to why i disappeared for awhile.
around march 2021, my ex-girlfriend and i had a fight...
she may not realize it, but she’d been trying to inadvertently control me by consistently guilt-tripping me over my choices in life. that said, i made the executive decision to prioritize *myself* for once and nixed our relationship.
then, as time went on and i mourned the death of our relationship, i also lost interest in lupin for awhile. even part 6 wasn’t enough to keep me interested. i needed time away from him and the memories of my ex. she really burned me despite how hard i tried for us. it was my first relationship and instead of nurturing it, she expected more of me than her ex-husband gave her, and i tried so hard to give that to her.
even AFTER we had initially broken up for what was, essentially, her own damn fault. she didn’t have to emotionally cheat on me with my ex-friend. she didn’t have to be terrible and go behind my back and become cozy with my ex-friend. she didn’t have to be awful and buy plane tickets to japan to see them. she was intending to cheat on me. she was intending to do so. and she would have had my ex-friend not caught wind of the whole fact that my ex-girlfriend was still sleeping with me.
but i digress. i needed time to heal after we broke up. at the time, we had stopped dating and were just friends and she had still tried to control me by guilt-tripping me. she made me feel bad for hanging out with my friends. i know part of it was the fact that she was looking out for me. but she went about it the wrong way and it was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
while i’m back, i have to admit... i’m still keeping lupin somewhat at arm’s length. i need to take this somewhat slowly so that i don’t... overwhelm myself.
that said, i have great news too. i started T back in july. ya boy’s officially making the transition from boy to man. and starting tomorrow, i’ll once again be medicated for ADHD, as well as going to a new job interview that will hopefully start my life off in the right direction. i also came out to my parents to surprisingly good results and i’m really making great strides in my life.
life’s looking up despite the absolute shit show that 2022 has been. not only did my step mom pass away, my brother has been in and out of the hospital for DKA, and my pug passed away as well as two cats. just last year, i lost my paternal grandmother, and the year before was my maternal grandmother. needless to say, life’s been pretty dreary and depression was high. but things are starting to look up and i’m finally excited for the future. hopefully new love will also be on the horizon, but i’m not holding my breath.
maybe one day i’ll face my ex again. i do still believe she’s a good person deep down, she just needs to realize that her actions have as much consequence as everyone else’s.
tl;dr: i was burned by an ex and i lost interest in lupin, but i’m slowly making my way back to him!
