Wanted to talk about this scene because 1) it’s so cool to see Zenigata do some regular detective work & see Jigen be a total badass

and 2) it’s so AWESOME to see a Zenigata / Jigen dynamic, even though they’re not in the same scene. While Zeni is assigned to Lupin specifically, he’s still spent enough time around Jigen to recognize his work. He understands and appreciates Jigen’s incredible skills as a marksman and he’s able to put together exactly what happens with the evidence he has available.

NOT ONLY THAT

But Zenigata LETS JIGEN GET AWAY. He recognizes that not only has Jigen done a good deed, but the town views Jigen as their hero. How could he go around & crush the freedom they have now by revealing their savior is a former hitman turned thief? From his monologue in P5′s finale, we know Zenigata just wants to catch Lupin to show him the error of his ways, and make Lupin into a better person. With Jigen’s act of kindness, maybe he realizes that Jigen has the potential to be a good person as well. 

And so Zenigata LEAVES and LETS JIGEN GO

Well, here's the next chapter, a little ahead of schedule! Also, note there is an end in sight!

Memed from @thisbluespirit , whom I just tried to tag as lost_spook and got really confused for a minute...

Favorite color: Blue, mostly

Currently reading: Uh. Am I reading anything? I'm slowly working my way through the "Jigen Daisuke" tag on AO3 from oldest to newest, I guess that's the closest. Sometimes I go through a phase where I read piles of books in a day, sometimes I don't touch anything but fanfic for months (and not always too much of that).

Last TV series: Lupin III. I'm currently working my way through Part 4 sort of "back to back", watching each episode with the subs and then the dubs. The dubs didn't have the correct Yuji Ohno music and I haven't seen the subs before, so it's a hell of an experience not just hearing the Japanese cast for the first time on these episodes but hearing Tornado or Zenigata March and just seeing what a damn *difference* it makes, having the right music, especially now that I know the music enough to recognize it.

I'm kind of glad I saw the dub before I knew what was missing, because the dub cast is good, but the music... god, "With a Gun In My Hand" is practically a different episode entirely without Tornado, without the history of having the same theme tie together every damn time Jigen does something badass since 1977. "To Hear You Sing Again" is a *completely* different episode without the moment where Yuji Ohno reaches thirty-six years into his back catalogue and pulls out fucking "Fire Treasure" and smacks you right in the heart with it.

Last movie: Uh. I'm not sure if it was Mystery of Mamo or Legend of the Gold of Babylon. I know the last one I saw *part* of was Mystery of Mamo, because I was doing a breakdown of Kobayashi's performance versus Epcar's in a particular scene for a couple of friends. (Kobayashi-sama brings the anguished screaming Lupin's name like nobody else -- I haven't heard Akio-san make an attempt yet, but until and unless he pulls that off, Kobayashi-sama is the one and only. Epcar knows he doesn't have the same vocal range, but he uses the magic powers of being the dub writer and knowing his own strengths to kick me in the gut possibly even harder than Kobayashi, which is a fucking *achievement*. Usually Epcar's a solid 9.5 but Kobayashi is an 11, when it comes to the Jigen angst.)

Currently working on: God, what aren't I working on. We've got the "Disreputable Company" sequel, JiZeni porn-with-feels and a ton of plot, on track to hit at least 50k by the end. We've got the "A Little Vacation" sequel in two parts, FuJigen PWP with snark and cuddles. We've got the "Silence of Ishikawa Goemon XIII" sequel, which is a lot more lighthearted than you'd expect from the title being "The Funeral of Jigen Daisuke" but it's still got a royal fuckton of feels, some of which we have yet to write. We've got that one PWP involving Lupin decorating his people with stolen treasures and taking very sexy photos.

We've got the G-rated GoeYata piece for @tabbiewolfreblogs slice-of-life zine "Between Heists", which needs a final polish once I can get a minute -- I'm pretty focused on the Disreputable Company sequel right now, because we have the rest of the outline all complete, we just gotta actually write it. I've got a brief Jigen praise kink thing somewhere that also just needs a final polish and a title if I can *find* it. There's a werewolf thing I was working on but I got too distracted by the human parts of the porn and ran out of steam, which I might see if I can pick up again. And there's a really complicated thing that may or may not ever see the light of day, which involves closeted repressed transfemme Jigen and also involves me writing a shitton of really personal trauma-coping stuff...

I'm not tagging anybody. Consider yourself tagged if you want.

MY JIZENI FOOD

ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

[tcthinecwnself-a]

YO I JUST REMEMBERED IN PART 4 how !!! How!!! Zenigata immediately recognized Jigen’s handy-work. And how the town MUST’VE told Zenigata who the crimelord was & what he’d been doing. & HOW ZENIGATA DOESNT SAY A WORD ABOUT WHO JIGEN ACTUALLY WAS HE JUST KEEPS HIS MOUTH SHUT TO PROTECT JIGEN’S IDENTITY!!! Because this town now views him as a hero who saved them!!! AND ZENIGATA PROBABLY DOES TOO

BECAUSE WOW JIZENI RIGHTS
