Avenging a hero and avenging someone who murdered countless innocent people are two very different things in my opinion. Especially since if you make a career out of killing the innocent, you have no right to complain when someone fights back and wins.

Nobunaga was just fine with Uvo killing people, but when it's someone he likes getting killed, suddenly it's beyond the pale. Fuck him.

Wait, Lupin's job is thief, right? I think I missed what the soccer dude wanted him to do.

Lupin is mostly a thief, but sometimes he ends up doing other jobs for various reasons.

Lupin? I know all about them. If you aren't familiar with them, don't worry. Aside from the introductions in the moment, each spotlight episode will give you a good chance to get to know them. Lupin just has episode 2 and 3, 3 being important for someone else. Fujiko and Jigen take 4 and 5, 6 is serial stuff, 7 is Zenigata, and 8 is Goemon if I recall everything right.

If you are unfamiliar though, I will say you're over thinking it right now. You don't need to know much about them right now for earlier plotlines and more basic capers.

Lupin should be the palate cleanser I need after reading spoilers for TG. I'm honestly a bit concerned about the series' creator.

Avenging a hero and avenging someone who murdered countless innocent people are two very different things in my opinion. Especially since if you make a career out of killing the innocent, you have no right to complain when someone fights back and wins.

Nice to know Lupin has a good amount of skillz.

I assumed he was one of those thieves who gets by more on luck & needs his allies to do stuff like hacking.

[up] Indeed. [tup]

Lupin's associates are Jigen, Lupin's right-hand man. An excellent shot and a the most level-headed of the group. Goemon, and swordsman who prefers the more traditional aspects of Japanese culture. Lupin's muscle. and Fujiko, a master of disguise and seductress. She often betrays Lupin out of her own greed, but Lupin easily forgives her, due to Lupin being a lustful idiot.

Well, that's what I remembered about them.

Lupin is ridiculously skilled. To the point he often does jobs and makes things harder for himself.

This series does a great job of blending his more comedic side and his genuine competence.

Is it just me or does that guy with the cigar have a stereotypical 'gay' accent?

It sounds mildly unfitting.

Also gotta love Jigen's inhuman marksmanship skills.

Oh wow. I wasn't expecting that twist.

And just let me guess; Lupin placed a huge bet on Brozzi scoring a hat trick in that game. Meaning he got paid anyway.

Oh and that agent is the new character of Nix I mentioned last week. Get used to him as a new antagonist, the MI 6 spy.

Next week, Lupin vs. Nix!

That was indeed a palate cleanser. This show is so funny. We need more comedy on the block.

This show has a very unique style both in visual & audio.

Very much unlike most anime I've seen, you can mistake it for a Western production.

[up] Action-Comedy. Never just comedy.

Just to remind, Nix was playing a role. I won't go into much detail but he's not gay.

I do hope that's not his permanent voice choice cause it doesn't fit for who he is IMO.

Wait, I thought Nix was the MI 6 spy; the guy playing chess. Weren't we talking about the accent of the dude employing the spy and the guy Lupin disguised himself as?
