* In the intro of ''VideoGame/LupinThe3rdTreasureOfTheSorcererKing'' for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, there's a scene where Jigen's happily [[GunStripping cleaning his disassembled revolver]] when he hears someone messing with the doorknob. In less than 2 seconds he ''completely reassembles the gun'' then puts a shot through the door, killing the guy before can even enter the room.

** The LaserHallway scene. After initially being scared off, Lupin sees his grandfather's hat on the far end of the hallway. Realising his grandfather could do it, Lupin leaps into action in one of the best-animated sequences in the film, complete with a ThemeMusicPowerUp and some BulletTime. Even better, when drops into a perfect ThreePointLanding Laetitia is wide-eyed and Zenigata is gobsmacked, but Jigen, Goemon and Fujiko just look smug, like they knew all along he could do it.

* In Part 5 episode "The Bow, the Princess, and the Terrorist," Fujiko's utter [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] of said terrorists. She shows up and uses her usual wiles to try to sweet talk the terrorists... and when they aren't going for it, orders Ami to cut the lights. She'd tipped her hand with a glow-in-the-dark substance that makes each person she'd touched ''very'' easy to aim at in the dark, and promptly shoots all of them.

* Lupin's animation history has had his saga feature the best in Japanese animation: Creator/HayaoMiyazaki, Creator/OsamuDezaki, Gisaburo Sugii, Hisashi Eguchi, Creator/HiroyukiImaishi, Takeshi Koike and many others all contributed to working on a Lupin III feature, featuring their own distinct animation styles/trademarks.
* Daisuke Jigen's voice actor Creator/KiyoshiKobayashi voiced the role from the very first animated Lupin feature till 2021. A total of 54 years.
* The franchise's longevity and success in general. Even though it started way back in 1967 (for the manga) and 1971 (for the anime), and has had dips in quality, people still can't get enough of the characters to the point that Lupin and the gang are cultural icons in Japan [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff (and Italy.)]]

* Jigen is faced with [[SpotTheImpostor a real and a fake Lupin]] in a ''Part II'' episode. The fake tries to play on Jigen's heartstrings as his "old buddy"... and Jigen calmly shoots him mid-sentence, revealing how little of a dilemma it actually was to tell the real and fake apart.

** It's quite impressive to see how Zenigata pulled it off. For several minutes Zenigata doesn't reveal to Lupin or the audience that he knows it's Lupin in disguise instead of jumping on Lupin the moment he's within arms length like he usually does. He even plays along when Lupin almost lets the disguise slip. Then when Lupin is about to leave Zenigata warns him not to go through a door because it's a trap, causing Lupin to go through a door that really is a trap.

* Along with a huge [[Heartwarming/LupinIII Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], the second series episode [[Recap/LupinIIIS2E112 "Goemon's Close Call"]] also has an epic moment towards the end. Goemon is given a chance to revenge himself against one of the assassins who tortured him throughout the episode; his hands, however, have practically been mangled by what he's been through. He charges forth anyway, Zantetsuken tucked under one arm, and manages draw and run through his foe anyway... by grabbing the sword with ''his teeth''.
