Sorce: Lupin The Third-Dragon Of Doom

Going a bit farther back than the early 2000's specials that I've been posting so far, here's one of my fave specials from the 1990's!

I heard that this special was the last one that Yasuo Yamada ever voiced in, which kinda bummed me out to know.

I really loved this special a bunch though! The story was actually really fun and I liked how it featured the main gang with some good enough screentime for all of them! I also really liked Fujiko being girlboss even though she's not my absolute fave but I admire her from a distance time to time, PFFFF

The animation was pretty nice and even smooth and bouncy in some parts, which I love me some of that, the artstyle too! (Biased because I also watched Harimao's Treasure and I loved that special too lol)

So..I watched "The Dragon of doom" and... what they did with Goemon upsets me(

(This is obviously just my opinion based on the first viewing of this movie and it's great if you disagree, i would honestly love to see a different perspective on this! I just REALLY need to vent :") )

First of all, Goemon feels out of character. Being serious, especially when it comes to something that has to do with his ancestors IS something that i would expect from him. However, being almost hostile towars Lupin and Jigen - is NOT. He pushes them away  and outright threatens them with death in the very beginning. We do not get to see Goemon being genuinely friendly or at the very least chill with them, wich in my opinion is very bad. Especially because he doesn't have any problems being calm with Kikyo. This, along with a later scene, just make it seem like being hostile is just a default for him when interacting with Lupin and Jigen..and i hope i do not need to explain why this is AWFUL characterization for him!!

Speaking of friendship, why doesn't it bother Goemon that he needs to fight his freinds to obtain the dragon? I mean, maybe he was bothered, but off camera, but...Why not show this ??? That would have been in character for him and potentially could have aded some nuance to the plot. And  i mean, there is literaly a scene where he says Kikyo that no matter who wants to steal the dragon from them, he will fight them. Why not end this scene with her telling Goemon that he will need to fight Jigen and Lupin, leaving him shocked or something? Just something to make this conflict more interesting and more minigful.  And why Lupin himself isn't acknowledging that this is...wrong in any meaningful way? I can see why he didn't suspect

Because as it is right now Goemon is basically another an obstacle for Lupin to overcome, without any emotional connection to him or Jigen. You may say that im paying to much attention to this aspect of the story, but in this is movie Goemons ancestors, his sword, Kikyo (who is his childhood friend apparently) are all very important. Even The Dragon of Doom was maide by one of his ancestors, if i understood correctly. Why in a movie like this is Goemon himself so poorly written? And why he barely gets any meaningful screentime for himself?

Look, i understand that budget and screentime are not infinite and obviously Lupin should have more screentime because he is the main character..But this is just bad(

Maybe im just stupid, but im genuinely really confused and frustrated by this movie and what they chose to do with Goemon in it. There was so much potential, i like the idea of this movie and its conflict...but i cant get over how it was executed

But again, im not a very smart person, so...what do YOU think?

And the last lupin movie of the month to conclude 2023 !

Lupin the third: Dragon Of Doom

(English Dub)

Synopsis:

Goemon, Lupin & Jigen are attacked by a deadly gang run by the nasty chin chin chu who is after a dragon statue said to be buried in the remains of the titanic; a valuable secret hides within, passed down through the ishikawa clan.

It's a race against time, friends, and zenigata to locate the treasure and unlock the secret behind the dragon of doom!

Hiya! I never did a proper tumblr introduction and because i want to pseudo-reboot this page I'll make one now.

My name is Isabelle and I'm a pansexual transfem who enjoys a wide variety of different media, Particularly older asian films and emo/pop punk music.
