Lupin Movie Marathon Analysis #1

The Mystery of Mamo (Lupin VS. The Clone)

Lupin III: The Mystery of Mamo has been a long standing favorite Lupin movie of mine. When I originally watched it, I couldn’t stand it due to its adult content, but since then, I have not only grown to like it, but I think it’s one of my favorite pieces of Lupin media, period. However, it had been a long time since I watched the full movie by myself, so I decided to put on the Blu-ray and watch it again.

Mamo has always been a movie with a lot of complex themes I like to explore, but I noticed something new this time, as well as coming to new conclusions about previous realizations. So join me in my lengthy analysis/report on Mamo, the most insane masterpiece of a film ever made.

At face value Mamo is just a stupid silly Part 2-like romp. Released in 1978, it reflects a trend amongst Lupin media at the time to be closer to the original manga and Masaaki Osumi’s Part 1 work in tone. For this movie, they even got back a significant portion of the early Part 1 staff in order to bring back this grittier, less bubbly Lupin. His characterization here is notably close to the original manga. But where Mamo succeeds (and Part 2 fails, in my opinion) is the fact that there is depth to Lupin’s character. Unlike Part 2 which has very little stakes, we see Lupin pushed to his absolute limit as the film breaks him down as a person. In a way, the movie is a sort of character study on him. But in order to study Lupin as a person, we have to see how the people around him are affected by, and affect him. Primarily, Fujiko Mine.

Fujiko’s characterization in this movie is perfect. This movie captures something I find a majority of Lupin fails to understand. Fujiko is exactly like Lupin. She is just as calculated and manipulative as him, Lupin just has more practical skill in place of where Fujiko utilizes her beauty to get the things she wants. They don’t even listen to their partners in crime (Lupin with Jigen and Goemon, Fujiko with Mamo) as they lust after each other (while secretly planning to deceive them). They are both horrible people, and therefore are made for each other. The movie drives this point home when Lupin even says him and Fujiko are bound together and can’t be separated, to Mamo. But there’s another character Lupin is bound to.

Zenigata, as he usually does, serves as Lupin’s foil. While Mamo is the actual villain of the movie, Zenigata is always there behind Lupin. In a way, he’s kind of a parallel to Fujiko, because he’s the only other one who never leaves Lupin’s side. And as Delaney Jordan denotes in her amazing video essay on Mamo, in Lupin’s subconscious, the only people who appear are Zenigata and Fujiko. They are the only ones who truly stand to challenge him in comparison to his other partners, which is why he subconsciously holds them in such high esteem. To analogize it, Jigen and Goemon are there to catch Lupin when he falls, while Fujiko and Zenigata are the ones who pushed him off.

On the topic of Jigen and Goemon, they are also very important characters to Lupin in this movie, but in a way, they both serve the same plot purpose. They both act as a sort of conscience to Lupin, keeping him in check throughout the movie, and judging his actions. That is up until they leave (which is very unexpected, especially at the time when the movie came out. If you had been watching the weekly Part 2, it was common to hear Jigen and Goemon bitch about Fujiko, but to see them pushed so far to the limit that they abandon Lupin? It was plain unusual to see.) It’s not until they’re both away from Lupin that we get to see the true side of Lupin. One without refrain. And that’s a good thing for him, because that’s the only Lupin that could go against Mamo.

Mamo is a particularly interesting villain because he’s almost like the anti-Lupin. As one of my friends (@curleyclown) described it, Mamo is an unstoppable force to Lupin’s immovable object. While Mamo is constantly growing more and more intelligent and trying to change time itself, Lupin is a stubborn person opposed to change. And that might be Mamo’s most prevalent theme. The main cast’s refusal to change. The characters don’t grow or change as people, they don’t mature, they end the movie the exact same people they were when it started. And though Mamo tried to influence them through his actions, likely knowing Fujiko would pull Lupin, Jigen and Goemon apart, he was unsuccessful because these characters just aren’t capable of growth. Lupin even remarks this himself about Jigen when twice in the movie, once in the beginning and once near the end, he calls Jigen a unchanging classic. Even a line that seems just like a throwaway joke has depth in this film.

Another thing I love is the movie’s emphasis on Lupin’s subconscious. When Mamo enters the mind of Lupin, he’s stunned by Lupin not dreaming, but later on in the film, when Jigen is arguing with Lupin, Lupin says he had his dream stolen from him, and Jigen asks if he's referring to Fujiko. This is genius. The reason Mamo couldn’t see Lupin’s dream was because Mamo had taken it from him. This might be one of my favorite parts in the whole movie.

My favorite part about the theming in the movie though are the biblical parts. Mamo’s claim to be God isn’t just said through dialogue, the movie continually showcases this visually. Behind Mamo in this shot (see first image below paragraph) is Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Man”, which showcases God creating Adam, the first man. Many people have remarked that you can see the silhouette of a brain in the background shapes behind God (see second image below paragraph), and when Mamo reveals his true form at the end of the movie– (see third image below paragraph) Do you see what I’m getting at? It’s brilliant foreshadowing.

Furthermore, Mamo compares him and Fujiko to Adam and Eve many times which, as said in the Streamline dub, makes Lupin the snake.

Overall, The Mystery of Mamo has a really engaging plot with really good character writing and themimg. But it’s not just that I love about Mamo. The art is gorgeous, and in my opinion, is better than Cagliostro. While Cagliostro has smoother animation, Mamo’s limited animation works really well with the manga inspired artstyle, making it more distinctive, and because they saved time and money by using less character animation, they were able to put more into other aspects of the movie. The movie’s camera shots are really well done and always have a really interesting perspective to them. Additionally the meshing-together of live action materials and animation (such as the scene with Fujiko overlaid on top of a ton of breasts) is really unique, especially for its time. My final note is about the scene where Goemon chops Flinch’s head in 3 and the frame literally gets chopped. It is jaw-droppingly awesome and always impresses my friends when I show them the movie.

The music is also really good. It’s nothing too remarkable as a lot of the music is in Part 2, but its placement in the movie is very nice and I especially love some of the timed cues. The music cue in the scene where Lupin clicks on Fujiko’s nipple (that’s a sentence, alright) is hilarious to me. 

Now we get to another really long section. The voice acting. The voice acting in the Japanese version is absolutely fantastic, all the voice actors deliver a really great performance and you can just hear the psychoticness in Yasuo Yamada’s Lupin. Kou Nishimura’s Mamo is very distinctive and very fitting for the character. And of course the rest of the cast, as usual, deliver a great performance. But of course, I can’t mention Mamo and voice acting while not discussing the 4 English dubs.

Toho’s dub’s script is actually quite decent and it’s a competent dub given it was made in 1979 but the voice acting is rough and because it hasn’t been well preserved, the audio quality isn’t great. Overall, it’s a 5/10.

I adore Streamline’s dub. The script is accurate while simultaneously maintaining really good flow. The voice actors are also amazing and I love Bob Bergen’s performance as Lupin, as well as Edie Mirman’s Fujiko. They both have that perfect energy for their characters and I love their performances. Steve Bulen’s Jigen is also great, my friend (@theshmeepking) always describes him as sounding like a “weed dealer”. Ardwight Chamberlain’s Goemon and David Povall’s Zenigata are also fantastic. Overall, my favorite dub of the movie, 9/10. I just wish it maintained Lupin’s line about Fujiko being his dream. 

Manga’s dub is overall forgettable and the script is littered with out of place cursing. It’s an adult movie, sure, but it just feels tonally inappropriate in my opinion. Voice acting is decent, though I find Bill Dufris’s Lupin a little grating. Audio quality is better than Toho but still rough. Overall, I give it a Dyslexic Zenigata/10 (Zenigata actually says he’s dyslexic, I’m not kidding.)

And then we have the ever-popular Geneon dub. I don’t particularly care for the modern Tony Oliver cast, but I will say, their performances in this aren’t bad even if I don’t personally care for the voices. I find Michelle Ruff’s Fujiko a little unfitting for her depiction in Mamo though. My main problem is the script that deviates way too much from the Japanese original and adds in a ton of unfitting jokes. It’s a fine dub if you’re watching the movie as a fun “turn your brain off” romp, but personally, I don’t think it’s a good adaptation of the original Japanese version.

On that note, that’s about all my collected thoughts on The Mystery of Mamo. This is definitely one of my favorite Lupin films, and maybe just films in general. I don’t have much more to say, but overall I give it a solid 9.5/10. I'd like to give a special shoutout to Delaney Jordan, whose video essay on Mamo was a huge inspiration not only for this, but for my passion for Lupin analyses in general. I'd also like to thank @curleyclown and @eva-of-the-sea for reading my WIPs for this essay. And finally, join Cagliostro Central, the Lupin server I co-own. I usually post the WIPs in question there.

I hope you enjoyed reading this ramble-analysis! I’m doing a Lupin movie marathon, so next up is The Castle of Cagliostro! Stay tuned.

So…there was one time I decided that I was going to go through the entire Lupin III franchise (minus the manga, I have less than zero interest in that) in chronological release order, like a fööl. You know that one Lupin III post that goes around with Camilla, the vampiric twin sister of Jesus Christ? Not only is that absolutely an episode of the show, I’m not even sure it’s the weirdest one.

I hit something of a brick wall with Lupin III about halfway through the pink jacket era, but I have seen all of green, all of red, some of both the blue jacket series, and quite a few of the movies/specials. And there’s some wild stuff in the series, including:

1. That time Lupin and co. trick Scrooge McDuck’s humansona (he wears the outfit and swims in a money bin, this is very literal) into giving money to charity.

2. That time Lupin gets trapped by a narcotic lesbian death cult.

3. Colombo (yes, the one from the tv show Colombo) has a man adorable little skateboarding son who shows up in an episode.

4. A mafia boss hypnotizes the New York Yankees to kill Lupin and the gang with iron baseballs.

5. The completely accidental (I think) existential horror of the Green vs Red movie, in which Lupin III is an entity which moves from body to body, condemning its next victim to a life of crime and shenanigans. (This is not what it was going for but it’s absolutely what it is.)

6. Goemon gets possessed by his great-times-thirteen grandfather. Frankenstein’s monster is involved somehow.

7. Lupin crash-lands into the Bermuda Triangle and Every Paranormal Phenomenon happens over the course of the next twenty minutes. The meet aliens at Stonehenge.

8. Salvador Dali tries to turn Lupin into a weathercock.

9. An immortal gremlin man with psychic powers is collecting clones of historical figures for his human zoo on his private MC Escher Island. Lupin is hanged and shows up a year later in Dracula’s coffin. Zenigata tried and fails to keep Lupin from stealing the philosophers stone from one of the great pyramids. This all happens in the same movie.

10. Lupin gets possessed by the spirit of King Tut.

11. Whatever the hell was going on in “Musical Variation of Monkey Business.” I just…I don’t. I don’t know.

[monkeyfaced-trickster]

Poll's over! Check under the fold for the solution.

From lowest to highest amount of votes, here are the scenarios that totally happened in Lupin III.

Descendants of Sherlock Holmes, Lew Archer, and Kosuke Kindaichi are riding a blimp as part of a rich guy's challenge for Lupin to steal his prized ruby. This is the plot of Part 2 Episode 15 "The Case of the Risible Dirigible".

A former child star spreads a tabloid rumor that Lupin stole her pet cat. Also, her cat eats pencil shavings for some reason. This is the main plot of Part 2 Episode 106 "A Cat For You, Dried Bonito For Me".

Lupin is challenged by a duo of destitute handymen into opening a safe that can only be opened by someone with literally 0 IQ. This is the plot of Part 5 Episode 6 "Lupin VS The Smart Safe".

Zenigata thinks he's a Russian gentleman thief after suffering from amnesia, and he keeps stealing Lupin's thunder. This is the plot of Part 5 Episode 20 "Zenigata, Gentleman Thief".

Fujiko fakes her death in order to locate Lupin's hidden treasure in Crete, which is guarded by a shapeshifting minotaur robot. This is a plot point in Part 2 Episode 119 "Lupin Kills Lupin".

Jigen challenges Lupin to steal back a euro bill he deposited in the bank or else clean the hideout for a whole year. This is a plot point in Part 4 Episode 24 "I'm Going to Get You, Lupin".

Lupin becomes a Confucian priest after drinking a special elixir that was filtered through a philosophy book. This is a plot point in Part 2 Episode 93 "Invading the Great Wall".

Goemon accidentally fishes a corpse out of the Hudson river and is subsequently haunted by the ghost of a young lady in an aerobics outfit. This is the main plot of Part 3 Episode 26 "A Ghost in New York".

Lupin goes to a doctor to have his athlete's foot treated, but the doctor uses his skin sample to create Lupin clones for profit. This is the plot of Part 3 Episode 9 "The High Cost of Cloning".

This means that the correct answer was #3: Lupin steals an Italian church's mummified crocodile, which turns out to have a map hidden in its stomach that leads to the secret treasure of a Satanic cult.

This scenario I made up was partially inspired by a real-life crocodile mummy that hangs from the ceiling of the Santuario della Beata Vergine delle Grazie in Curtatone, Italy. While it would make for an interesting (if silly) macguffin in a Lupin III story, this has not happened anywhere in the franchise at all.

It was also the scenario that received the highest amount of votes, meaning the majority managed to figure out that this was the odd one out. Scenario #8 was the one that got the second-highest amount of votes (which was probably the biggest surprise to me), and the third highest was #6.

Inspired by a poll someone else posted months ago, I want to challenge you all to a little game to test your Lupin III knowledge. We all know how silly the series can get, but how smart is your threshold for the weird?

Can you guess which of these plot points was completely made up by me?

This poll will run for a week, after which I will reblog it with the correct answer and a breakdown of which plot points happened where.

While my brother thought about the "spiderman meme" I was like "would you fuck your clone?! meme"

me, against better judgment and understanding that continuity doesnt mean anything in the lupin iii franchise and most shows/films/specials exist separate from each other, trying to make sense of the timeline and whats going on 

[asktailikku]

One of three edits I made of Lupin’s initial encounter with Kyousuke Mamo from the Part 1 anime, using the theme “Illusionary Lupin” from the second anime and “Mystery of Mamo” film and playing off of how the Mamo of the movie was named after Kyousuke, as well as sharing the same dub voice actor.

Lupin VS the Clone/Lupin the Third: The Mystery of Mamo, 1978 (d. Sōji Yoshikawa)

[morporkian-cryptid]

Dare I ask clones of WHAT (re: Mamo)

SPOILERS

Mostly of famous historical figures, including Hitler because apparently this franchise has an obsession with Nazis, and at least one clone of Lupin who dies at the beginning of the movie.

(it's not even clear at the end of the movie whether the clone died or if it was the original Lupin; Mamo says it was the clone, but Lupin was kinda holding him at gunpoint so Mamo probably didn't want to make him even angrier. Idk. This fuckin' anime, man. At least I prefer the idea that a clone replaced Lupin, rather than some random dude -heavy side glance at Green vs Red-)

Anyway, the movie's pretty good, as long as you leave your expectations for normalcy at the door. This is one of the weirder entries of the franchise, and we both know that's saying something.
