History WMG / LupinIII

[[WMG: The Arsene Lupin seen in WesternAnimation/NightHood is actually Arsene Lupin Jr. Son of the original and father of Lupin III]]

Kinda explain of disobeying the laws of physics, huh? Gotta thank the likes of ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunny'' and the ''WesternAnimation/PinkPanther''.

** Might go some way to explaining why he hasn't aged since the 1960s. Seriously, to make the timeline work, he'd have to be [[LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo Lupin IV]] by now.

[[WMG: [[LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo Riko Mine]] is the daughter of Lupin III with Fujiko Mine.]]

The Rupan references are from a character calling himself Rupan the Third. Afro and pink jacket are because that one represents the third series. The main character represents every new writer and Cosplayer who try to make a Lupin. The crazy helicopter pilot Lupin is that 12-year-old kid who is {{LARP}}ing Lupin "because he blows stuff up and steals 'cause he can!", which is to say the guy who sees CrazyIsCool and thinks it means [[InsaneEqualsViolent Crazy]] + [[UpToEleven Awesome]].

[[WMG: The in-universe reason for the ''Main/ToneShift'' in ''Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMiine'' is that the whole continuity is a result of Mamo messing with the timeline]]
We know that [[spoiler: Mamo is the ''Main/BigBad'' behind ''Anime/GravestoneOfDaisukeJigen'']] and presumably the other movies in the continuity as well]] . The reason why this continuity is much darker is that is the result of Mamo going back through time and creating an alternative timeline, for his own reasons.

[[WMG: Fujiko is the evil sister of [[Manga/DetectiveConan Yukiko Kudo]].]]

* The International Police Criminal Organization’s seventy-ish vehicles, equiptment, and uniforms are the result of Interpol’s limited budget; possibly second hand from other law enforcement agencies.

*** The Soviet block obviously never collapsed in Lupin.

*** Russian and German representatives were merely doing a little historical reenactment at ICPO conference, it’s an international police thing.
* Silly Tropers... the film is nothing else but Miyazaki's own continuity to the series. He didn't know moar episodes would follow. So all the films AND episodes that would follow after should be considered "alternate continuity". ... A wild guess, but an ''educated'' wild guess.
** Semi-confirmed, actually, as Miyazaki felt that the movie was about Lupin "in the twilight of his career"

** Goemon is canonically Goemon Ishikawa XIII; descendent of a legendary real world outlaw. After thirteen generations, I could easily see him having a lot of other relatives who would like to carry on the family name and tradition, taking Goemon's place when he dies or retires. As for Jigen, note that his name is a bit odd, his background is shady, and he usually keeps the upper half of his face covered; clearly he could have successors as well.

Which makes sense when you think about it. Episode 100 gives us shades of the BoysLoveGenre in the form of Nai Baba, the shiek with the hots for Zenigata. Episode 101 basically gave us a {{Crossover}} with ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles''. Episode 102 has Brilla, who could be classified as a MarySue; she's impossibly cool and clever, gets taken on a date with Lupin, and Lupin ends up helping her in the end instead of robbing her. And Episode 103 makes Goemon inexplicably {{Bishonen}}, complete with wings and sparkles.

It's where he gets his green jackets

The new series is set in Italy and San Marino, and Cagliostro has an Italian name, Italian cousine, middle-ages Italian architecture, Italian ''everything'' but some characters' names (that sound French) and side of the road on which you drive, so Cagliostro could be at the Italian-French border.

* The original concept of Fujiko was just "the girk of the week is named Fujiko", and clearly, Lupin just names the Biggest-breasted woman he sees as Fujiko. When he has the skills to provide them with an entirely new identity as this woman, why would they object?
