History Anime / LupinIIIPartII

* IAteWhat: In a particularly silly episode involving male nudity and suicide laser beams, Jigen and Goemon shove a big old pile of cow shit into Lupin's mouth to cure his contagious Suicide Disease.

''New Lupin III''[[note]] ''Shin Lupin III''[[/note]], a.k.a ''Lupin III Part II'', a.k.a "Red Jacket" – 1977-1980

* GodWasMyCopilot: Yes really. The episode ''Wads of Bills Bloom in the Rio Sunset'' has the Gang hide the cash from the ticket sales of one of the largest Soccer games in the Christ the Redeemer and then proceed to steal it. However as they fly off with the statue, all the cash hidden in the statue falls out right over the favelas of Rio De Janerio. The gang lament the loss only for the statue to talk to them and smile. Yep. J

* GivingThemTheStrip: Lupin is an escape artist, & he will not think twice about dropping his trousers if a pesky cop is clinging to his legs as he makes his get-away on a hang-glider.

* HistoricalCharactersFictionalRelative: Ishikawa Goemon is based on a 16th century Japanese Robin Hood of the same name. Often an antagonist on the show will be the grandson of a real life legend, such as the members of the Shinsengumi.

* RightOutOfMyClothes: The first opening for features Lupin leaping out of his clothes to get into bed with a naked Fujiko....who promptly smacks him in the face with a spring-loaded punching glove hidden in a box under the covers.

* In the French dub of [[Recap/LupinIIIS2E15 Episode 15]], Sherlock Holmes III is renamed as Herlock Sholmes, much like how the original Sherlock was renamed to Herlock in the original Arséne Lupin stories.

The second ''Lupin'' series, a {{Revival}} of the televised anime after the success of ''Anime/LupinIIIGreenJacket'' in reruns. The series begins by [[ContinuityNod acknowledging the gap]] between the two series, as well as reusing the main villain from [[Recap/LupinIIIS1E1 the first episode]], but remains episodic with almost no mention of past episodes. The art style is significantly different from the first series, and undergoes a few shifts of its own. But those take ''much'' longer to happen than the abrupt change in direction that the first series experienced. Another major difference is that while the first series was largely set within Japan, the second series has a [[SequelGoesForeign visibly international focus]] with the characters [[WorldTour travelling all over the world]].

* KidDetective: Episode 72 had Baranco who was the son of the famous Columbo. The entire police force is willing to follow his plans.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: In the English dub, Zenigata would frequently say a very nonchalant "Ow..." whenever he got comically injured.

* IgnoreTheFanservice: An episode has Lupin working for Fujiko's Aunt. After being incentivized to work by getting fanservice from a hologram of Fujiko, he starts to tune her out. When the ''real'' Fujiko shows up, he completely ignores her. Could also double as [[Main/Foreshadowing]] to the twist at the episode's end.

** Perhaps in response to its getting a slot on Creator/AdultSwim, the Geneon dub added a number of jokes and pop culture references that are out of place for a show from the 70's and looks it (e.g. references to Shaquille O'Neil, ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', and TheWarOnTerror). This caused something of a BrokenBase, as many new and casual fans loved these jokes, while others – especially long-time fans from the Streamline days – hated them.

-->'''Dub!Fujiko:''' Is this one of those [[GiftOfTheMagiPlot Gift of the Magi things]]? Because I always hated [[Literature/GiftOfTheMagi that book]].

* DisposableLoveInterest:
** Fujiko married the prince of Beltenberg. He was simply never brought up again.
** Zenigata almost married chief Jasmine. He simply decided that he could not balance a marriage and a police job like a normal human being, despite her also being with Interpol.
** Goemon nearly married a girl named Murasaki in The Fuma Conspiracy, then broke off the engagement at the end. She was never seen or mentioned again.
