* MaleGaze: A couple of times featuring May Hem.
* MasterOfDisguise: Lupin, of course... even when [[PaperThinDisguise it's just a fake moustache]] May Hem also gets in on the act from time to time.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: H.R. Karst is pretty much a villainous Howard Hughes.
** And of course there's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsene_Lupin_vs._Herlock_Sholmes Herlock Sholmes]].
* OrientExpress: A large part of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A Prince on The Orient Express]].
* PapaWolf: Just try messing with any one of Lupin's friends...
* PersonalMook: While not at all villainous, Grognard is this to Lupin, acting as his driver, cook, and general ally.
** Steel plays this straight.
* PluckyGirl: Kelly.
* PoliceAreUseless: Well, [[BumblingSidekick Folenfant]] certainly is.
* PunnyName: Not just May Hem ([[DontExplainTheJoke d'you get it?]]) but Folefant, translated into English, means "child's toy"
** In Episode 13, there's a Mafioso whose surname is ''Marscapone''.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Lupin
* SchizoTech: The show is set post WorldWarI and yet, there's the existence of surveillance cameras and automatic doors.
* ShoutOut: This version of Lupin has several [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] to various anime series, least obvious is Lupin himself takes several visual and stylistic cues from [[SailorMoon Tuxedo Mask]] and there are even a few to LupinIII (the dynamic between Lupin and Grognard owes a lot to that between Lupin and Jigen).
* SomethingAboutARose: Aside from symbolizing how [[GentlemanThief Lupin]] really is, rose becomes a communication item for Lupin and Kelly whenever there's crucial info.
* SweetTooth: Max.
* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: Ganimard.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Gila and Diesel, Karst's rather incompetent henchmen.
* TimmStyle: The art style is very obviously inspired by BatmanTheAnimatedSeries.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Lupin and Kelly if they aren't an OfficialCouple.
* WorthyOpponent: Lupin muses that Inspector Ganimard ''would'' be this if he wasn't saddled with the utterly incompetent Folenfant.
* WritingAroundTrademarks: The name change for the English dub was due to some legal buffoonery surrounding the name Lupin.
* [[VillainExitStageLeft Gentleman Thief Exit Stage Left]]: Lupin '''''always''''' does this... and not just OnceAnEpisode.
* VillainousBreakdown: Karst usually gets this whenever he found out that Lupin thwarted his plans again.
