History Awesome / LupinIII

* In ''The Secret Of Mamo'',Lupin manages to drive on a road's guard rail, which at the time was suspended in mid-air, and safely makes it back onto the road. Ridiculous? Yes. Awesome? Definitely.

* The manga chapter ''The Great Escape'' has Lupin spending a year in prison claiming that he's not really Lupin. [[spoiler:When the time comes for his execution, he switches places with one of the guards. The guard starts screaming that he's not really Lupin. Once Zenigata finds out, he races down the hall screaming to stop the execution]] as Lupin walks calmly out of the prison, smiling.
* 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''.

** This appears to be based on a scene in the manga where Zenigata manages to defeat both Jigen and Goemon by outmaneuvering them then handcuffing them to a tree. The best part is Lupin [[AsideGlance looking at the reader]] and asking "[[CrowningMomentOfFunny Can you believe this shit?!]]"

* In the intro of ''VideoGame/LupinThe3rdTreasureOfTheSorcererKing'' for the {{Playstation 2}}, 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.

* In a second series episode, Zenigata was in Israel when he found out that Lupin was in Egypt, and got arrested because [[UsefulNotes/ArabIsraeliConflict he demanded a plane ticket for a country that Israel was at war against]]. Later in the episode, Lupin's gang is in the desert... And we find out that ''Zenigata got his ticket and command of the whole Egyptian police after coming straight from '''Israel'''''.

* The [[GrandFinale final (numbered) chapter]] of the first manga series. Throughout the chapter, a timer is counting down at the bottom of each panel. Zenigata has Lupin and co. surrounded in a field. Lupin whips out a sheet and throws it over them. Zenigata yanks the sheet off only to find that Lupin has used some sleight-of-hand to [[spoiler: replace himself, Jigen, and Goemon with a group of astronauts. One of them mentions that it's too late for Zenigata to catch them.]] Cut to the timer running out as, in a rare two-page spread, [[spoiler: a nearby space shuttle launches, implying Lupin escaped to space]] leaving behind a (moreso than usual) dumbfounded Zenigata.

* In the ''Elusiveness of Fog'', Lupin tricks Mamou, a guy who invented a time-travel machine, into letting him steal the device. He does the same thing in the manga and the first series episode based on said chapter of the manga. It also overlaps with [[Funny/LupinIII Crowning Moment of Funny]].

** Long-standing anime folklore has it that {{Steven Spielberg}} himself has pronounced this scene as the best car chase ever put on film.

* Speaking of car chases, the entire opening car chase in ''TheCastleOfCagliostro''. Lupin manages, among other feats, to drive up a ''vertical cliff-face'' to rescue a mysterious girl.

* Along with a huge [[Heartwarming/LupinIII Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], the second series episode "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''.

* Whenever Zenigata gets serious, he's prone to pulling off these - just mainly when his aim isn't to put Lupin behind bars even if he's the target. Once he managed to outwit and handcuff all three of the gang to a tree, just because he wanted to warn them about specialist hitmen they'd be going up against.
