* HowUnscientific: Red Jacket Lupin is set in late 1970s Earth & is not of the sci-fi or fantasy genre, but once in awhile you get an episode with things like vampires, dragons, & mermaids, yetis, zombies, & no one questions their existence. None of these were present in Green Jacket, so it's completely unexpected.

** In one episode, Lupin was accidently given brown hair & blue eyes. Jigen was not wearing a disguise, so this was a coloring error.

* IAteWhat: In a particularly silly episode involving male nudity & suicide laser beams, Jigen & Goemon shove a big old pile of cow shit into Lupin's mouth to cure his contagious Suicide Disease.
* IdenticalStranger: Three of Lupin's one-off love interests were inexplicably identical to eachother from face to hair; Inspector Melon & the Vampire Camilla were completely identical. Madam X had the same face but different hair. Funny thing is that nobody, not even Lupin noticed or brought up their similarities.

** In the episode where Lupin & Jigen are trying to steal a potion from a building that has only women in it, Jigen refused to even look at them, even though the one to his left was wearing completely see-though negligee. & it wasn't the kind of embarrassed shy eye aversion you get from Goemon or Zenigata. He just straight-up did not want to be there & wanted Lupin to get off his butt & get back to work.

** Jigen's suit is only sometimes grey. More often than not, it's a sage green or slate blue, even in the same episode.

** In episode 66, Lupin is holding a bottle of wine. A bullet breaks the bottle, revealing that is a white wine. Then the scene cuts away to a different angle & it becomes a red wine.

** In one episode, Lupin was accidently given brown hair & blue eyes. Jigen was not wearing a disguise, so this was a coloring error.



** There's inconsistencies about the size of body parts of characters, especially in fast paced action scenes. Frequently this happens to Jigen & Goemon's hair length, ranging anywhere from collar length to mid-back length, Fujiko's breast size, & the guys being inconsistently scrawny or muscular in both the arms & torso.

* SuicideAsComedy: Done in both episodes 60 & 61. In the first one, there's a Suicide Beam that makes people turn purple & try to kill themselves. While it resulted in the immediate death of any non major characters, Zenigata kept shooting himself in the hat & trying to keep Lupin alive was Loony Tunes level slapstick. In the second one, Goemon is so embarrassed that Fujiko got him drunk & pawned his sword that he tries to hang & shoot himself at the same time. Made extra funny when Zenigata & his men walk in witnessing Goemon dangling from the roof & shooting randomly.

* StockSoundEffects: There is repeated use of stock dolphin sounds used any time the setting is near or on water. The problem is that it was intended to be the sound of seagulls. It would have been a WackySoundEffect but seems like more of an unintentional mistake than a running gag.

Inconsistent Coloring

Added DiffLines:

* InconsistentColoring: There are a few things in this series that keep panning back & forth in color.
** Jigen's suit is only sometimes grey. More often than not, it's a sage green or slate blue, even in the same episode.
** Lupin's hair is usually black, but sometimes it's a dark chocolate brown.
** Lupin's pants & tie are a very pale pearl pink, but sometimes they are a light creamy beige. Most people just color them as off-white in fanart.
** Zenigata's skin color ranges from a sandy peach, to a light sienna brown, to a terracotta red.
** In episode 66, Lupin is holding a bottle of wine. A bullet breaks the bottle, revealing that is a white wine. Then the scene cuts away to a different angle & it becomes a red wine.

Uncertain Doom

Added DiffLines:

* UncertainDoom: The fate of many antagonists, likely used to keep with Lupin's claim that he's not a murderer. But when the audience thinks about it, the villain is probably either dead or moments away from it.
** One example is Lavina, a psychiatrist dressed as a nun who brainwashes people & ships them off to fight as brainless soldiers in foreign wars. As she was floating away in her bubble, Lupin shot a special mini rocket that injected her bubble with hydrogen gas. There's not a lot of air in the bubble, so she's at risk for asphyxiation. Also if the bubble were to encounter heat or hit anything, it could explode.
** One of Lupin's girlfriend-of-the-week was last seen going over a cliff in a car with an angry cobra.
