LUPIN III - THE FOURTH

Aka "Lupin's extended family bullies him live on TV"

Y'all remember Maki from Blood Seal - Eternal Mermaid?

☝️ This awesome kiddo who spent half of the movie harassing Lupin into taking her as an apprentice? And who was actually quite good at thieving, good enough that she managed to get to Lupin's target by her own means?

I think she should become Lupin IV.

...And I might have gotten a bit carried away.

Yes they all call themselves Lupin IV. Yes there is an explanation to that. The explanation is to bully Lupin.

Maki: master thief, and leader of the Gang. The actual official Lupin IV as far as the Lupin succession line is concerned. Outgoing and bubbly, a determination that can break though walls. (Blood Seal - Eternal Mermaid)

Ami: tech expert and hacker. Likes to pretend she has no feelings. (Part 5)

Julia: social engineer/people person. Very strong personality and very confident. (Farewell to Nostradamus)

Kenny: gunman. Very loyal, inherited Jigen's "knight in shining armour" complex. (Part 6)

Murasaki: medic. Too tired for this bullshit but is actually having fun. A ray of sunshine. (The Fuma Conspiracy)

Long story short:

Growing up Maki never stops wanting to become a thief. By the time she's an adult, she's actually gotten quite good at it.

One day she runs by chance into Ami, and learns about how much Lupin changed her life. And how many other children - now adults their age - he impacted as well.

Maki sets out to find as many of them as she can, and founds her own thieving gang.

But Maki doesn't only have skills like Lupin's, she also has his knack for causing problems. So once she's assembled her team of "Kids Lupin Left Behind And Who Also Like Causing Problems", she goes out to find Rebecca Rosselini, aka Lupin's almost-but-not-exactly-divorced-wife (Part 4).

"Rebecca," she says, "do you mayhaps want to annoy the heck out of Lupin for funsies?"

"Boy do I!" replies Rebecca. "What do you need from me?"

"Oh nothing much," says Maki. "Just a little signature on these four adoption forms."

And thus Maki, Ami, Julia and Kenny legally acquire the last name Lupin. And all officially declare themselves Lupin the Fourth.

Lupin is fuming, Zenigata is having a stroke, the rest of the LupGang are laughing their asses off.

Murasaki is there too because these kids need a responsible adult.

The Fourth

Just so you know, this line has been rotating in my brain since I first saw Nostradamus three years ago, and uuuuhhhhh I ended up getting waaaayyyyyyyy too carried away with this idea.

I love Julian like A LOT.

She's so cool looking, and her whip and sword are both really cool weapons. Her character arc is great and made me cry at least 3 times. Her rivalry with the player is very cool and romantic

Her and Carmaine are androgynous baddies together

"How many great mysteries are there in life, really?" No one answered, so Colin guessed, "Forty-two?" Julia Quinn, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton

I'm sorry, is this a Douglas Adams reference in my Bridgerton book

💥Lupin III - The Fourth💥

aka "Lupin's extended family bullies him live on TV"

When Maki, Lupin the Third's former apprentice-for-a-week-and-a-half, runs into Ami Enan, she gets an idea: round up all the now grown kids whose lives Lupin stumbled into, and form her own thieving gang.

One visit to Rebecca Rossellini and four adoption forms later, Maki and her band of misfits all legally bear the last name Lupin and are ready to unleash chaos.

Unfortunately for Lupin the Third, who is very much not retired yet, more and more people keep coming out of the woodwork and claiming the title of The Fourth.

You can read more about this totally legit movie and its colorful cast here and here!

Jules and Drake mend fences

Julia laughed at her best friend, sitting in the passenger seat of Mo's car. "You can't be serious?" Mo frowned, and, after waiting for Jules to stop laughing, said, " I don't think it's that funny. All I said was that Dad wanted to have you over for dinner." Jules stared, still trying to decide whether this was a joke or not. "But… Your dad hates me. He has ever since the D.W. incident." Mo shook her head. "No he doesn't! He didn't think you were a good influence, but I've been telling him about you, and everything you've been doing, and he wants to mend fences." She explained, swerving to avoid a box in the road. Julia blinked. "Wait what? He never hated me?" Mo smiled a bit. "No, of course not!" Julia sat back, considering. "…did I hate on him for no reason?" She said, quietly. Mo patted her back with one hand, keeping one on the steering wheel. "We were kids, Jules." Jules nodded, and looked out the window.

A few days later, Jules was standing in front of her closet, looking at the outfits she had. "What the hell am I supposed to wear?" Her fiancée spoke up from the bed behind her. "You're just going to Mr. Murphy's house, right?" At Jules' nod, Mari continued, " Just wear whatever you wear to Mo's house, except maybe a little bit nicer." She shrugged. Jules pulled out a hooded blue crop top that had the words "juicy bitch" on the front. Mari stared at it. "No. Actually, why don't we burn that?" Jules stuck at her tongue at her, and pulled out a purple long-sleeved shirt that had a pocket on the front, and black glittery sleeves. Mari nodded. "That works." Jules nodded, and pulled out a pair of black pants and black boots to go with it.

Soon, Jules found herself outside of the Murphy house for the first time in years. In high school, she used to pick up Mo all the time, stopping in the driveway and waiting for her. Now, she was actually going into the home, and staying, at least for a little bit. She took a deep breath and decided she might as well face the music. She walked up the front steps and rang the bell. Drake opened the door, and seemed to size her up before smiling. "Come in, come in!" He waved her in, and she stepped over the threshold. The house wasn't nearly as old-fashioned as she thought it was. Sure, it was decorated like something out of a 80s sitcom, but she saw a lot of modern touches as well, like the big-screen t.v. and so on (note: come up with more touches). She hung her coat up, and saw the mantelpiece with lots of pictures in frames, mostly of Mo and Gray. Jules blinked in surprise when she saw a picture of her and Mari in one of the frames, in the engagement photos they had sent out. Mo had asked for one for her family, but Jules thought she had meant for an album or something, not hanging on the mantel of someone she thought hated her. Drake had brought a bottle of wine and two glasses into the living room, and was watching her take in the room, unsure of how to start a conversation with Jules. It had been years since he had even tried. He thought that she didn't want anything to do with him, but he figured that, especially since she was getting married, she might see things differently. Or at least he could say that he tried, he thought as he saw Jules look around, presumably about to tease him about his decor. He was surprised, however, when Jules looked at him and blurted out, "I'm sorry." Drake looked at her in confusion. "For what?" Jules walked over and sat on the couch, and Drake thought he saw tears in her eyes. "For the D.W. thing, and everything. " She said, taking a breath. "I- I thought you hated me for years, and didn't realize-" she stopped, not sure what to say next, trying not to cry. Drake put his arm around her, sitting next to her. "Hey, it's not your fault. I wasn't exactly clear in explaining myself to you." He said, attempting to soothe Jules. Jules smiled a bit. That seemed to cheer her up. "Well, to be fair, you probably thought I hated you too." Drake nodded, although she couldn't see it. Truth was, he did think she hated him, up until this very moment. Jules looked at him right in the eyes. "You don't hate me, right?" She said, looking for something in his eyes. Validation? Maybe. Drake shook his head. "No, of course not. I could never hate you." Jules sighed in relief. "And I don't hate you, either." They hugged each other. The rest of the evening passed pretty quickly, with both of them (and eventually LP) talking about memories, Mo, Jules' recent engagement, and everything under the sun. At the end of the night, Drake insisted LP drive Jules home, despite the fact that Jules had had about half a glass of wine, and had been distracted by the conversation to drink more. "Before you go, I want to tell you something." Drake said to Jules as she stood to leave. Drake put his hands on her shoulders. "I'm proud of you. I want you to know that." Jules smiled "Thanks Mr. Drake." Once she got home, Jules went upstairs to see her fiancée already in bed. "Mari, Mo was right." She said, changing into pajamas and washing her face. Mari put down the book she was reading when Jules came in. "What do you mean? Jules came in, and climbed into bed, leaning against Mari. "Mr. Drake doesn't hate me after all." Mari rolled her eyes, and smirked. "Well yeah, I could have told you that." She said, kissing her fiancée's forehead.
