Thinking about that stress can give you grey hairs...

Lupin stumbles on Zenigata's old photos.

From a young kid, to first getting into law enforcement, then advancing in his career.

Then the moment where supposedly Lupin and Zenigata met and became rivals he starts to see grey hairs and Zenigata looking more stressed as time goes on.. Lupin would maybe feel a bit bad. Some conflicting feelings like 'haha I really make Pops worry' to 'oh I really make Pops worry'

average day in the life of

wtf is Zeni's badge

[rainymeadows-art]

dream teams? nightmare combinations? i'll leave that up to you

[t8oo]

there is some symbolism iv never considered in that one episod of pt5 where zenigata rescues fujiko before she kills lupin

"Love me with all your heart

Or not at all

Just promise me this

That you'll give me all your kisses

Every winter, every summer, every fall"

Yeah but there is a third competitor

No hear me out

One man who is the brains of the operation (hardly ever kills someone)

May or may not be a complete idiot but damn does he love women and is hiding a lot of trauma through a rouge

SAD PATHETIC WET MAN WHO SMOKES AND HAS A CONFIRMED KILL COUNT who has a lot of trauma and is shows it by being depressed all the time

And have you seen their car (you know the yellow one from episode 4 when they were at the daycare in the suits that I can’t find a picture of)

It’s not a Fiat 500 but the similarities are there in the color and size of the car

Like if Buddy Daddies was about a couple of heist partners instead of hitmen Jiglup fans would be foaming at the mouths

Spy X Family and Buddy Daddies rn…

Zenigata's scrunkle nose appreciation post

I think pt 4 has the best Zenigata face. Overall that is. I think it is also the most pleasant to look at idk, what's all of your guys favorite Zenigata face lmao

that or the specials from the 90s. You know like island of assassins. Where they give him a wrench for a chin. Those are some good Zenigata faces

Lupin Week 2024 Day 4: AUs and Mythology

Goemon's face looks like he's seen a ghost.

ahhhh god ok my stupid stupid silly au i made a year ago.... this will be a bit long so get ready

tldr: lupin died, the gang is alive. goemon finds lupin but he's a shark merman!? and lupin remembers nothing!!!

long version:

so this AU follows upon the story of shin lupin, which basically, the gang gets killed off by zenigata because he rigged an island full of explosives.

instead of them all dying however, lupin decides to knock the gang unconscious and find a way for them to escape off the island safely, leaving only him in the island to die.

the rest of the gang had no idea how they escaped and assumed that lupin had sacrificed himself for them. they woke up adrifted on the ocean until they eventually got picked up by a ship where the invisible captain from new adventures returns. but ah ill spare the details for another day

---

2 years have passed and the gang just kinda separated to do their own thing. we'll only focus on goemon cuz he's the featured character of this comic.

goemon decided to escape the life of crime that has burdened him for years living as a part of the lupgang. he's mostly a wanderer now and tries to do good and help people along the way

funnily enough, goemon is not the first person to find lupin, but I'll talk about this later. but goemon is definitely very mixed about seeing his friend who he thought was dead for years. he doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.

---

lupin, at the brink of death after the explosion, plummets down the ocean and wakes up one day, feeling like he's been rebirthed!

essentially, lupin became a merman because right before he could die, his body (i mean what's left of it 💀) interacted with a magic crystal that has the ability to grant life to a living being.

It's really rare, but it exists in clusters deep in the ocean floor or- deep under the rocks of an island :) you can say im bullshitting, which i am but i dont think exploding an entire island down to every rock has happened before, so it can kinda make sense why something so coincidental about these crystals could happen. (I AM TOTALLY MAKING EXCUSES I JUST WANTED TO MAKE LUPIN A MERMAN.)

and so these crystals used whats left of lupins body and reassembled him back, and idk other essences of the ocean to make him a merman!

the memories of his past life have definitely been buried deep inside his brain to the point he can't remember any of it though, so he thinks that he was born under the ocean and has lived there for his entire life. other than that he retains almost everything about himself, down to stealing stupid shit and messing with humans just for the fucks of it. he's kinda seen as like a nessie.

---

anyways, y'know how i said goemon wasn't the first one to meet lupin? that's because lupin has met zenigata before!

living a life with only fishes around means lupin's kinda lonely and likes to stalk humans sometimes. the interaction with him and zenigata did not end well though, and lupin has no idea why zeni wants him dead so much.

after that he's way more cautious around people that look like zenigata- hatted big men with guns. its gonna be fun once he sees jigen.

ok what else... i think that's all i want to reveal now. will i do more of this? maybe. maybe not. kinda embarrassed of this because of how silly it is but i hope you people find this interesting! byebye

[kissentz]

i need to write a plot and draw ocs. but why the fuck should i do such boring shit when i can start drooling over the new crush? actually everything lead into drawing this dude. my hands weren't itchy, don't worry. my hands wiped out from face of earth when i was speedruning content with zenigata on tumblr and don't ask me how i even drew this i love him and i'm ready to eat him in any adaptation. just put a muzzle on me, or there's a chance i'll eat your phone, laptop, or whatever device you can show me him at. the gay connection between him and lupin is so far beyond my mind and consciousness that my fucking face cracked 500 if not 666 times in three days one of my favorite versions of the inspector is his look in part 4&5, where he is wearing a red coat. i just get INDEQUATE around that man and especially around HIS RED FREAKING COAT anyway, i love zenigata and i'm going back to my tank because i'm hungry for content, bb!

[king-guinevere]

they fuckin amputated it 😭

TMS should let Jigen and Zenigata have cool noses again.

Tottsan why are you so cute???
