Lupin The Third just has the comfiest formula. Clever caper stories in stylish settings always work. Hell that Carmen Sandiego Netflix show is actually watchable for that very reason.

Yes. Indeed. Horrible thread opener: There's nothing to discuss.
Zachary Davis
I'm working my way through every film and series. I'm loving it. Even when it's shitty, some of the bad episodes are so bad they verge into hilarious territory.
Too bad it's impossible to have a discussion about Lupin on Yea Forums.
John Hughes
Part V gave us some threads while it was airing.
Kayden Evans
Thoughts on the upcoming Fujiko movie?

Looks good so far. I can't imagine it won't be enjoyable.

guys, I'm writing a crossover between Batman and Lupin III, tell me what you think
PART I
The sun has set in Gotham. Plunged in total darkness, it has once more become the city of crime and corruption.
Somewhere on the rooftops of some 8-story tall buildings, a shadow fleas swiftly like some ninja from olden times.
The mysterious silhouette was accompanied by a screeching sound, a sound loud and thundering, a sound that announces something bad had happenned.
It was the sound of an alarm. A burglary ! Such a vile deed has been perpetrated in the jewellery located in the 5th Avenue !
Dressed in black to merge with the darkness, smiling under the scarf embracing half the face, the agile thief was escaping the scene of his crime with ease and confidence. He was experienced. He was fast. He was smart. Nobody ever saw him breaking into the jewellery, nobody has ever caught him after one of his heist. He is the greatest thief in the world, no sould will ever be able to get their hands on him !
Or so he thought.
Quietly, as if he were a ghost leaping from the pages of a horror story, a large shadow appeared in the light of the moon.
The escaping criminal, feeling a chill behind his back, slowly turned his head to look behind. With an aghast look on his face, he suddenly stopped running. The ghost was facing him. Imposing, intimidating, he looked straight into the criminal's eyes, striking him with fear with a terrifying glare.
He had appeared. The protector of Gotham. The Dark Knight.
The one they call the world's greatest Detective: the legendary Batman was on his trail.
Jaxson Smith
"I believe you have something that doesn't belong to you"
Batman spoke with a low but menacing tone.
The thief was so sure no one could find him, let alone track him this far.
After a moment of silence however, the thief had a different reaction than what the detective had expected.
"fu fu fu", he giggled, "you want it, come and get it."
He threw the stolen good in the air, permitting a short distraction for the thief to prepare his next move.
For the Batman had given a look upwards, observing the artefact: what had been stolen was a very precious necklace made with emerald gems, which is a fragile stone. Tossed in the air like this, it would surely break once it hit the floor, which is something Batman would want to prevent at all costs.
This proved to be a ruse however, and it was too late for Batman to realize it. Less than a second after having tossed the treasure into the air, the thief took one of his earings and smashed it onto the floor, which created a suffocating and dense smoke that blinded the vision of the masked vigilante.
The perpetrator took this opportunity to catch the necklace in mid-air and escape.
Batman, thinking what a fool he is for having fell into the thief's trap, delved into the smoke to seize the thief, but the latter had already jumped onto another building.
Gabriel Garcia
Is the Lupin manga any good?
Nicholas Sanchez
But being an accomplished gymnast, the vigilante managed to land on the same building, getting almost on the same level as the fugitive. He then threw a batarang towards him in order to stop his course.
But the criminal turned around with a small gun in his hand, and accomplished the incredible deed of hitting the batarang straight with one bullet.
" he's good.", Batman thought aloud.
The thief smiled with arrogance, defying the Batman. (for he could tell as much, despite him wearing a scarf)
By chance however, there was nowhere the thief could escape anymore, as there were no other building nearby on which he could jump.
"Surrender!", shouted the Batman, "You can't hide from me anymore!"
But the thief, standing on the edge of the cliff, spread out his arms, revealing some pieces of material underneath.
"Who said I was gonna hide ?"
He then fell from the building, reappearing into the detective's sight, floating in the air.
Indeed, the thief had one more trick up his sleeve: his costume could enable him to use the wind in order to fly !
"A flying squirrel-type villain, uh ?" bitterly thought the Batman. "Well they aren't the only flying mammals." he continued, reaching for his grappling hook.
Aaron Hernandez
I'm hoping it will have more substance than the previous Lupin movies Koike did. Jigen's Gravestone felt like a good but average anime episode and Goemon's Bloodspray felt extremely empty with only a few scenes of substance.
Nicholas Collins
With the agility of an eagle, as if he had flown his entire life, the thief soared in the dark red sky. Taking a peak behind his back, he once again giggled, boosted by his own confidence. Even the Batman, famed ennemy of the underworld, cannot catch up to him.
"I'm a bit dissapointed", he said out loud, "but I guess you were just no match for my cunning wits and ski-"
What is this ? Something was slowling the thief down, and he was beginning to lose altitude! How could this be ?
The thief turned to his right leg, and grunted out of frustration. For the Batman was still on his tail! With his remarkable marksmanship, the masked vigilante aimed for the thief with his hook, which formed a knot severily tied around the thief's leg.
Once he has set his mind on a target, he formidable Batman never lets go of his prey. The Batman posesses several qualities, but his most important, which some has even qualified as being superhuman, is that he never gives up! His determination, moreso than his genius mind or athletic physique, is his greatest weapon!
The burglar struggled to part with the powerful grasp, but alas for him, they were now both gliding through the sky.
Gliding? Not for long, for the weigh put by the never giving-up Batman onto the flying criminal forces them downwards, dangerously approaching the ground at great speed!
Jose Sullivan
I read somewhere that someone is already planning on subbing the new special, he's just waiting for a better rip of it to come out, and that happened less than a month ago, so I'd expect the subs in two months or so.
Christopher Ross
"Rats!" spurred the criminal, as they crashed onto, not the ground, but yet another building!
They both landed with minor bruises, though for one of them, the bruises were more emotional than physical.
"You ruined my flying costume! Do you know how much this cost me?!"
"Less than the time you'll spend in jail once I'm done with you."
"I'd like to see you try!"
Just like during their first encounter, the two duelists, who were of opposite sides of the law, were facing each other.
As in a samurai showdown, they carefully calculated their next move in their heads, for they now have a better understanding of what the other is capable of. Standing face to face, looking each other into the eyes, they are planning ahead their attack as well as that of their opponent.
After what would seem like an eternity for external viewers, they dashed at the same time towards each other, at unbelievable speed, with only one objective: to terminate this chase once and for all.
At a distance, the thief made a sommersault, landed on his hands and spun his legs around in a dangerous and powerful series on kicks that would have knowked-out even the most durable of champions.
But the Batman protected himself by crossing his arms in front of his face. The rapid thief then quickly made a 360°, tackling the Batman, which made him lose his balance. The thief had the upper hand and was prepared to impale the vigilante with a clawfist he just pulled, but the Batman rose on his feet in a swift move. He threw a batarang, but what an unsuccessful attempt, for his opponent dodged them at breakneck speed. But wait! One of his batarangs actually hit the scarf the thief was wearing, revealing long wavy hair and a voluptuous mouth that could seduce the most stoic of men.
Yes, the thief was not a he, but very much a she!
Parker Taylor
"Fujiko Mine." Uttured Batman.
"Oh, you've heard of me? I shouldn't be surprised though" Replied the modest Fujiko.
"Real name unknown, age unknown, place of birth unknown. You're an internationnal spy and thief, wanted in every single Interpol nation. But your apparent main base of operation is situated in Japan."
"I see you've done your homework Mister Detective, but that's not nice to put your nose in a lady's private life!" she cheekily said.
"Don't worry, I expect to hear all about you from your own mouth, once I have you accompany me to the police station."
"Oh, and here I thought you going to bring me on a nice date at the restaurant or a cruise around the medditerranean...after all, you ARE one of the richest men in America." she remarked with a sly smile.
Taking advantage that the vigilante was taken aback by her remark, she ran towards him, expecting to land one of her powerful kicks in his face. But the Batman dodged her attack while simultaneously loosening his cape, which he used to wrap around around Fujiko Mine's head.
Suffocating for about half a minute, the Batman released her from his infernal cloth, and as she breathed a big breath of what she expected to be fresh air, the Batman sprayed a solution from a little container, which cause the thief to stumble and fall asleep on the ground.
"Game's over".
Easton Bell
The interrogation room is a secret place. It is the place where agents of the law use every legal tactic possible to make suspects break into confession. It takes patience, savoir-faire and dedication to successfully make a bird sing. And in a place like Gotham, which nurtured hardened criminals, it is no easy task. But Commissionner Gordon had assembled a trusted team of specialized agents to complete this mission.
Batman was watching behind a one-way mirror. The everso watchful detective had every single sense of his metabolism focused on the person that was presently being interrogated. Fujiko is in Gotham for a reason. An as for now obscure reason. Actually, when she was arrested, still unconscious, she wasn't in posession of any stolen good. What she was holding during her escape was actually a worthless replicate, one of those fake jewels displayed at the front window as an exposition. It seems she purposefully triggered the alarm from the Jewelry and took this item, knowing it wasn't worth anything.
Why? What is she hiding? That is what Batman and his friend James Gordon are trying to find out.
"That is one tough bird you brought in Batman." Said the commissionner. "Instead of breaking HER spirit, I have the feeling that she is going to drive US crazy."
The woman named Fujiko Mine had been detained for almost 4 hours. She did not break a single sweat, nor did she slip any valuable information. Instead she kept complaining about the room being unfit to a lady, insulting the fashion taste of the officers and asking for several bottles of iced team from the station's vending machine. In fact, Batman was sure that the male policemen had actually fallen victime of her weaponized charm. From time to time, she would make faces and pull out her tongue at Batman, perfectly aware that he was watching her from the other side.
One of the interrogators came out of the room, exhausted from several hours of work trying to make her talk.
Cooper Long
"It's impossible commissionner, in all my years of experience, I've never met anyone has stubborn as her. I just don't get it. Why would such a pretty damsel try to rob a jewelry? Who is she even?!"
Back in Wayne Manor, and that is something Batman did not even tell Gordon about, the advanced Bat-Computer had a database hacked into every law facility in the world. It contained files on every criminal ever recorded, and Batman strived to memorize their faces and records.
Fujiko Mine, of course, was included in the Bat-Computer's files. However, her informations were quite scarce. Almost everything about her is unknown. Even if Batman tried to interrogate her, he wouldn't do better than the capable men and women who have been trying since her capture.
The commissionner sighed, as if he expected to not get satisfying results. "Don't worry sergeant, you did your best." he said, before granting him a break.
Fujiko still had that air of nonchalance, that was starting to get on the nerve of everyone involved in the case. Including the Batman.
"How much time commissioner?"
"He should be on his way. I think he really is the best man, other than you, to crack the case."
"In that case Jim, I'll go and find physical evidence so I can make some progress on my own."
And with these words, the Batman parted ways with the commissioner. "Uh, he didn't dissapear mid-sentence this time.", he thought. "That Mine lady must really be working on him."
What were these men talking about just now? Well, about Fujiko Mine, one thing is certain. She has been known to have plotted several heists with a certain infamous master thief.
His name was Lupin the Third.
And the person who has been chasing this man for several years has been called by the GCPD to assist on the case was-
"KOICHI ZENIGATA, AT YOUR SERVICE!" screamed a loud voice.
end of part I, what did you guys think ?
Dylan Mitchell
joy! thanks user.
Benjamin Brooks
Mostly untranslated, but I really like what I've read. Monkey Punch is good at characterization.
Chase Hall
No problem, user. What are your top 3 specials?
Wyatt Collins
Not him, but for me it's:
1. Bye Bye Liberty
2. Hemingway Papers
3. From Russia with Love
Ian Moore
I honestly think their on the same level of love and care.
Ian Hernandez
Gotta say, not much hype for the new Koike movie, it looks like he is yet again using the same plot as the other two.
But i hope they will announce a new series after that, so far it has happened with both the Jigen and Goemon's spin-offs
Levi Brown
Will this tie into that Fujiko TV show? I thought it was really good.
Aiden Russell
No shit.
