Lupin Week 2024 Day 7: Birthday! 🎂🎉
"Today, Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko threw me a surprise birthday party. At first I was confused, I'm sure everyone knew that I didn't have a birthday, until I remembered the time I lied to Fujiko and told a random date so she would stop nagging me about it. If I knew she'd take it that seriously I would've zipped my mouth. I'm unfamiliar with how birthday parties work, but I think this one was more… exciting than the usual. Goemon botched the cake. He put some mystery ingredient that ruined the taste. Fujiko almost stole my gifts, which was foiled when Zenigata and Melon Cop were caught trying to burn the house down. He won't even give me a break on my birthday! After we chased them off, I had to put out the fire. Jigen did not help and kept playing with that stupid blower thing. Normally this would be a failure of a party, but I enjoyed it for some odd reason. I hope they do something like this next year, with a better cake..!" - Lupin

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

As I was scanning Greatest Heist (which will be finished very soon so look forward to it!!) I think I've realized something interesting in the "Lupin Lullaby Chapter.
Lupin's grandfather entrusted this old man to protect this vault of gold and to give it to Lupin when he grows up.
Instead of accepting this gift from his grandfather, Lupin actually gives it to the old man as a reward for being loyal to his family for such a long time.
I, and for probably a lot of people reading it, first registered it as just a rare act of kindness from Lupin, but i think there's more to it.
Beyond this point in the manga, there's been hints that Lupin wants to defect from the empire that his family created and be independent.
We hear almost no mention of the Lupin Empire beyond Lupin III
Lupin I and II are absent beyond that point as well
The Extra Chapter in Lupin III shows him destroying the empire(the secret facility) and him saying that "...construction has already begun on our next adventure." When he says "our" i think he refers to his gang, basically starting something new that doesn't involve his family.
So when Lupin gives away the gold to the old man, it also supports these hints because in a way, he's essentially rejecting his grandfather's gift. By giving it away he's saying that he doesn't need the backing of his family anymore and he wants to live his life on his own.
In addition, I wanna point out that Lupin's reason for giving the gold to the man is because of his loyalty. Lupin really values loyalty, because the world he's living in always has people betraying him and acts of devotion are rare.
So when someone really shows their loyalty, Lupin trusts them and rewards them generously.
Anyways that's all I just wanted to talk about this because I find it really neat tehe

1974 for the tankobon release of the original Lupin III manga, the original chapter covers published in Weekly Manga Action were replaced with completely new drawings by Monkey Punch himself (Most likely due to the poor state of preservation of said covers).
These are my favorites, what are yours?

More Info abt Merman Lupin AU
I'm not posting anything for day 5 of lupin week (prepping for next drawings + i have no idea what to draw for it) so i'll post some extra stuff about my au!
Character Sheet:
before, i didn't really have a specific species of shark to model him off of, so i did like a 3 minute research on google and landed on the carribean reef shark! it's mainly cuz they're one of the friendliest sharks.
yeah, merman lupin's a bit of a cutie in this au. mostly cuz he does not know any life of crime. he doesn't have a reason to hurt anybody. don't imagine him as some sort of 'innocent cinnamon roll' though. he's still lupin after all.
the gun shot wound is there because of his interaction with zenigata as mentioned before in my prev thread.
like the og lupin, he really doesn't understand when to stop getting into dangerous situations. he only sees humans as funny creatures to watch. sometimes, he even tries to scare people by putting on makeup and covering himself up with bones and kelp. he's built up a reputation for himself as some sort of sea monster around the east coast of japan because of his tomfoolery.
other than messing with humans, his other hobby is collecting cool shiny stuff and racking up a huge collection that he keeps all in a cave somewhere in the pacific. he doesn't just collect jewels, but other human nitnacks from machines to forks. he even knows how to use them! he's a smart fella
---
that's most of what i have for his personality. now for a little history lesson.
i made this au back in june 2022, you can tell cuz my art style looks a bit strange. fujiko was intended to be the second person he meets instead of goemon.
i decided against fujiko because they might not get along sometimes given their complicated dynamic in the manga, plus goemon makes sense to be one doing shit in the middle of the ocean.
lupin was able to go in land without any consequences, now he dies if he stays for too long. (it's due to the crystal's power not being powerful enough to keep him alive if he strays too far from where he died
old merman lupin also had gills! i realized after that it's too complicated of a choice given how sharks have to move all the time to keep breathing, so now he functions like a sea mammal.
and yeah that's all thanks for reading up to this point, im really grateful for the praise i got for this au. it genuinely made me so happy!! i would've never expect this much people to like my au...
maybe ill do more of this in the future.

I don't remember how much the anime mentions that Jigen smokes a day (I think five packs), but I'm very very sure he would look like this in real life.

as i'm rereading this chapter again, the more it's starting to become one of my favorites
(chapter number is 28 in shin lupin iii)
i love how expressive fujiko is, and she is just as clever and fun as the rest of the mcs when she gets to be in the spotlight
mp knows how to write women i think he just forgets they exist sometimes 😔
look how silly she is this is one of the best fujiko chapters ever...
also the trick she does at the end is really clever too, once again reminding everyone that she is quite literally as smart as lupin
shoutouts to lupin jr too but i don't think he was written as good as fujiko is, but it's understandable cuz i dont think it would make as much sense for him to be silly in this chapter
wish he got another chapter as a follow up on what happened to him after the snowman thing. i think it may have happened in some sort of exclusive chapter in the aizouban release but i haven't gotten to that point since I don't want to spoil myself on the untranslated chapters.
anyways i heart fujiko ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

Back to Lupin.
Last month I collaborated with @peaterookie in the typesetting for 3 uncollected chapters of Shin Lupin.
I made the onomatopoeias and he made the text (the actual important part).
Check it out, it's a good read.

Fun Shin Lupin fact:
In Ch. 48, Goemon doesn't know what a manga is, despite being in a manga.
This is because he is stupid.
