History ReferencedBy / LupinIII

* Anime/{{Redline}} gives two very recognizable {{Homage}}s. Incidentally, the film's director, Takeshi Koike, would go on to do the character designs for ''[[Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine The Woman Called Fujiko Miné]]''.

* ''Manga/TimeStopBrave'': Kuzuno Sekai disrupts a fradulent coronation ceremony in the line, "Objection! This coronation ceremony is profoundly tainted by greed!" This references the line, "Objection! These marriage rites are profoundly tainted by greed!" from ''The Castle of Cagliostro''.

* ''Manga/GiantRobo'' "Ginrei" special has several prominent references to Lupin III in it.

* ''Manga/PsychicSquad'' did a ShoutOut in Episode 5 of ''The Unlimited'', using Manga/LupinIII in a police uniform, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, and WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd [[http://ogiuemaniax.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/the-nostalgia-critic-in-zettai-karen-children-the-unlimited/ as random spectators.]] This [[https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=492908027412181&id=127127037353766 didn't escape the notice]] of Creator/DougWalker, [[https://twitter.com/JesuOtaku/status/298582155024560128 or]] the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNUfk3R157U notice of]] fellow ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'' contributor WebVideo/JesuOtaku.

* ''Anime/UnlimitedPsychicSquad'' has a {{cameo}} by Lupin, and a girl designed as a young {{expy}} of Fujiko.
* ''Manga/{{Upotte}}'''s Sig borrows Goemon's {{Catchphrase}}: "Once again, I have shot a worthless object."

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBadGuys'' is a caper film that makes various references to Lupin III. The lead character is a wolf ("Lupin" is French for "Wolf") who wears a slick suit and goes on heists.

* Creator/TatsuoSato brought his unique mix of action, humor, and heart to several science-fiction anime sagas over the years, from ''Anime/ShinguSecretOfTheStellarWars'' and ''Anime/StellviaOfTheUniverse'' to current favorites ''LightNovel/BodaciousSpacePirates'' and ''Anime/LagrangeTheFlowerOfRinne''. In honor of the ''Nadesico'' Complete Collection's release, he very graciously took some time out to answer YOUR questions about one of his most beloved works.

* ''LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo'' has a character called Lupin. ''She'' is the great-granddaughter of the original Literature/ArseneLupin. However, there are also indications we are supposed to think of Lupin III as well. She is called "IV" or "Lupin the IV". Her full (Western order) name is Riko Mine Lupin IV. So Fujiko Mine is clearly her mother.

* During the worldwide Millennium invasion in ''WebComic/AndShineHeavenNow'' Lupin III teams up with Literature/{{Madeline}} to take down [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Rip van Winkle]]. He's stunned to find out Madeline's OlderThanTheyLook, as she had also teamed up with his grandfather in the past.* ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' has the rival mad scientist-thief Lupin Madblood.

* Castle f Cagliostro has several, but none more referenced than Lupin's dive off the clock tower to catch Clarisse.

*** The characters are based on Lupin's gang: Spike is Lupin III, Jet is Jigen, Faye is Lupin, and Vicious is Goemon gone bad.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' - Season eight episode "Bart After Dark", the one where Bart has to work at a burlesque house. There is a scene where Bart is falling down a roof that looks like ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'' that even the people in the audio commentary mention it.
