Today is Lupin III's special day for some reason. I thought I'd do something special and talk about the birthplace of his French voice actor, Philippe Ogouz (who died in Paris in 2019, at the age of 79).

Saint-Jean de Luz was an important part of French history. It was in the Église de Saint-Jean Baptiste where King Louis the Fourteenth married the Infanta of Spain, Maria Theresa. It's said that the king had one of the doors walled up so that no one could ever use it again.

Because of copyright issues, Lupin's name had to be changed to 'Edgar de la Cambriole' until 2012.

"The vast marvel is to be alive… The supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn and the dead may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time. We ought to dance with rapture that we should be alive and in the flesh, and part of the living, incarnate cosmos. I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me. That I am part of the earth my feet know perfectly, and my blood is part of the sea. My soul knows that I am part of the human race, my soul is an organic part of the great human soul… There is nothing of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of the waters."
