Lupin Iii - Blog Posts

I have an urge to post something, but I don't have anything new, so here's this goofy-looking Inspector Zenigata drawing I did back in 2022.

whatever. Goemon on the Hot Ones

Some of my anime ships 

Holy wow I love it!!!

I literally just redownloaded cookie run a couple days ago! I love every design so much they're perfect!!!

wOW!! LOOK AT THESE GUYS!!

i made cookie run versions of the lupgang, uh if you dont know, cookie run is a video game franchise about these gingerbread cookies and you should not play it

anyways, time for me to explain for hours about the thought that went in these designs!!!

Lupin III - Cactus Cookie

firstly, yes, cacti can be eaten. for lupin's case i think you'll deadass die if you eat him

the reason i chose cactus for his flavor is because of his incredible persistent to survive in the most dangerous and impossible conditions, much like how cacti dont need a lot to survive in the desert.

i think this may be a reach but i recall a lot of times where lupin is in the desert but idk that bitch can be anywhere bro also hes a prick

I used the green color of the cactus, but cactus cookie can change the color of his cactus coat and the flower tie.

also cacti can sprout flowers! that's very gay of them to do, very lupincore

if you're curious about his eyes, i based it off of strawberry cream cookie's eyes, i think it fits a lot with lupin's googly eyes

Jigen Daisuke - Shiitake Cookie

i think his flavor was the hardest to decipher, but i decided to use shiitake, mainly because another certain mushroom themed cookie uses it as a huge hat...

also, shiitake mushrooms have a rather strong, meaty and earthly taste, which i think fits jigen's strong and gruff personality.

I also added some pepper on the mushroom, which is just, intensifying the strength peppercorn can also be used for bullets !

in addition, shiitake mushrooms are one of the ingredients of sukiyaki, which i think is a rather iconic food for jigen !

Goemon Ishikawa XIII - Soba Cookie

SOBAAAAAA soba is earthly noodle and it looks like the color of goemon's hair, that's literally it sorry i dont have anything else HAHAHAH

nvm i think i have more design notes for goemon some of his design elements are inspired off of rebel cookie, which is based off of a korean classical character hong gildong jeon, who has a very similar story to ishikawa goemon !

also goemon's swords are chopsticks, tehe

Fujiko Mine - Cinnamon Bun Cookie

I wanted to show her deceitful personality through the flavor, and i arrived on cinnamon buns, primarily because cinnamon is a spice that can be very harmful to consume in huge doses, but many people seem to like the cinnamon flavor.

i use the cinnamon flower on her head, like how i put a flower on lupin's head, to kinda show that they have a similar personality and profession

also design inspo

Koichi Zenigata - Macadamia Cookie

the flavor was very easy to decide on. if you don't know, cookie run detective characters are typically nut cookies! (walnut cookie, almond cookie)

so i decided on macadamia nuts, the hardest nuts, because of his stubborn and headstrong personality

other than that, not a lot to comment. if you wonder why there's blue in his designs, i dont really know tbh, i used blue as a color base and i found it pretty on him.

end of post

Lupin III One Piece AU. (also a partial style mimic exercise)

Captain Lupin III of the Lupin Pirates, has no desire to hunt for the One Piece and take the title of king of the pirates. Instead he enjoys finding other treasure, following obscure maps, exploring ruins and learning the worlds secrets. Originally from the North Blue, and a big fan of the ‘Sora Warrior of the Sea’ comics.

First Mate Daisuke Jigen, Sharpshooter and the closest thing they have to a medic. Originally from the South Blue, Former Marine, Former Mafia Associate.

Goemon Ishikawa XIII, Swordsman. Originally from Wano, but has not seen Wano since he was 10.

Fujiko Mine, Underworld Information Source for marines, pirates and revolutionaries alike. It doesn’t matter to her so long as she’s getting paid. Lupin buys treasure maps off her a lot. This leads to her wanting a cut of the treasure though.

Vice Admiral Koichi Zenigata and his assistant Lt. Goro Yatagarasu.

Zenigata is the wielder of the Shackle-Shackle fruit, allowing him to turn any object he picks up into a set of handcuffs. He has been after Lupin since the pirate stole from a marine vessel carrying tribute for the celestial dragons.

I imagine their antics happening in the background of the main op story line. Just- Lupin and the gang having adventures while more important things are going on. Fun loving pirates and the marine they keep fishing out of the ocean because he keeps forgetting he can’t swim.

More Part 5 Lupin III Brainrot

I said in my FujiLup divorce rant that the divorce is why everyone is acting the way they are and I wanted to elaborate:

I swear the divorce is why Goemon is so easily coerced into fighting Lupin by Enzo. I swear it’s the divorce and the fact there is no way in hell Lupin or Fujiko talked to him about it.

Fujiko didn’t talk to anyone about it. She just made vague comments at Zenigata and half assumed Lupin told everyone their business.

Lupin only talked to Jigen about it. He wasn’t actually going around trying to air out his and Fujiko’s dirty laundry to the world, he just needed to talk to someone, and that someone was Jigen!

it’s why Jigen isn’t thrown off by the mind game bullshit! He knows where he and Lupin stand with eachother! Lupin came to him after the divorce!

Goemon, meanwhile, is totally in the dark! he has no clue what happened between Lupin and Fujiko after the wedding and doesn’t feel like it’s his place to ask! And Lupin thinks he doesn’t want to know, which is why he hasn’t told him!

So while Fujiko and Lupin are testing and reestablishing their boundaries, Goemon (who I will remind you DOESNT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLELOG WORKS) isn’t able to figure out the group dynamic anymore. He’s been trying to get answers, but the ones he’s getting don’t really answer his questions! And it’s Lupin’s own shitty explanation of how peoplelog works that convinces Goemon that he has to figure out where he stands.

And Goemon only knows how to do that one way because he wasn’t exactly taught emotional coping skills alongside how to kill people.

He challenges Lupin to a fight, and Lupin knowing his friend in that moment realizes just how confused and honestly kind of terrified Goemon is in this moment. That’s why he agrees. He doesn’t WANT to fight Goemon, but they’re past the point of talking him down the point to talk him down was weeks ago.

So they fight. Goemon wins.

And Goemon realizes two things:

One, he sees the phantom of himself a version of himself he’s been fighting against since he met Lupin the version that’s just a killer and that’s what he’s really fighting here. The fear that he’s just a tool to be used, even by his closest friends.

And Two, he just hurt one of the few people who took the time to see him as more than a weapon.

It’s why he drops Zantetsuken.

It’s why he refuses to even touch the blade, instead rushing to Lupin’s side and trying to undo even some of the damage he inflicted.

And it’s seeing that realization on Goemon’s face, seeing him come back to himself, that has Lupin smiling before he collapses. Because Lupin, no matter how selfish he can be, is willing to put himself through HELL for his people.

The FujiLup Divorce

So. Part 5 all takes place post divorce, we know this, which shapes why everyone is acting the way they are. That’s not the point of this I want to talk about what actually seems to happen with the divorce.

So. This whole thing is sort of set up for disaster, because the idea to marry Lupin comes in the wake of the Rebecca situation. Fujiko’s anger at the wedding is partially about the treasure and not being included but it’s more so about being caught off guard by the idea of Lupin getting married.

Women are constantly told that getting married is just something you will do. So even subconsciously Fujiko may have just been assuming that some day her and Lupin would get married. Not because she particularly wants to marry him (or anyone for that matter) but because getting married is just the thing you do.

That being the base this marriage is formed on already gives it this heavy weight of obligation and jealousy and like Lupin is making up for the Rebecca incident.

But despite this Lupin and Fujiko get married, and for a while it works. The marriage is shiny and new, and still entertaining enough for them. Lupin is enjoying being domestic and playing Mr. Husband and Fujiko always loved being doted on.

After a while, It’s Fujiko that realizes it’s not working. Lupin is playing Mr. Husband to the best of his ability, they’re in Paris, they’re supposed to be happy. But Fujiko realizes having Lupin has taken the thrill out of life. It’s bad enough they’re not stealing and scheming but she thought that with his personality, if anyone could make domestic life interesting it would be Lupin.

But there’s no chase, no thrill, no uncertainty. Not when they wake up in the same bed every morning, unless he’s gotten up early to surprise her with breakfast. He’s doting and loving and everything she should want.

But since when has Fujiko Mine ever done what she was Expected to.

So she leaves.

‘Adieu’ written in lipstick the only note she gives.

And here’s where it gets good (and tragic).

Lupin has two choices.

Chase her to the ends of the earth and refuse to let her go when he catches her, and to let her go.

Fujiko thinks she wants the chase, but really? If Lupin chased her down, caught her and refused to let go?

She’d hate him for it. She’d feel trapped and suffocated and everything good about the two of them would be gone in that moment. After that she’d be trying to Escape him. He’d be turning into just another man in her eyes.

So Lupin, knowing there’s no winning here, but at least that losing her for now means there will be a chance to have her again in the future, let’s go. He doesn’t fight it.

She’s mad he didn’t fight it, obviously. Why wouldn’t he fight it, doesn’t he care, doesn’t he want her?

He loses her in the short term.

But in the end that was the right choice.

Because she comes back.

They’re never going to be the same again. There’s always going to be this shadow on their relationship (which in my opinion is why the Part 6 kiss in the rain is so tragic), but they’re able to still be in each others lives. To have each-other in smaller ways, and that’s really the best outcome they could have asked for.

go follow my friend they’re awesome and cool and make good art

Hi, fellow Lupin fan here! I love your art and tribute posts but I want to ask you something. Are the versions of the characters you draw an AU? I'm just curious as I think it's perfectly fine to create alternate versions of characters with different races, that's just fandom culture. But I personally disagree with abandoning a character's race in favour of another as I feel it demeans the work of the original designers. I mean no ill will by asking this, simply just curious.

Please do not be upset by this question, I'm not trying to cause any disturbance. I love your work and I simply want to ask about it.

I understand if you don't respond to this, have a nice day and keep making amazing art!❤️

Heya fellow Lupin fan thatonestereotype ! Very interesting take here that I'm "abandoning a character's race" by giving them darker skin tones. Funny thing actually, not only do darkskinned Japanese people actually exist, but I'm also using actual, official adaptations and sources as references for how I color skin tones of the Lupgang, especially Goemon and Zenigata!

Hope this helps!
