Corrections and Updates I have noticed that some of the lines in the video are almost word for word from ShannonStrucci's review of the first. This was not done on purpose, but I had seen the video before writing the script. So I would like to apologise for that. I accidently said Mystery of Mamo came out in 1987 instead of 1978. I had the right year written down in the script, I just mixed up the numbers while recording without realising it. I said that the pilot was made to pitch a TV series, I was wrong. The pilot was pitching a movie, it didn't work out. The pilot was pitched again but this time for TV (with a different aspect ratio and new voice actors). This lead the Part 1. For more info check out this page on Lupin Central. www.lupincentral.com/home/lupin-iii-the-pilot I said that Zenigata Robo was exclusive to the Pachinko Machines but he has made an appearance in one of the manga. twitter.com/tabbiewolf/status/1409857476208455688 Kogoro Akechi isn't just some random character. His's a fictional detective that's been about since 1925. Which is pretty funny, it's like if I made a comic and the first chapter had Columbo in it and I never bring it up again for the rest of the series. Part 6 got announced a week after I uploaded this video. It even has an episode written by Oshii, that was a nice surprise. Gecsi_ has made a google drive folder with everything related to Lupin the 8th. The pilot, the untranslated manga, animation from the unfinished episodes. Check it out if you're interested. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1eGX_L3r3I-TugFL0t7v2zjDTMAmqbyCU The first chapter of Nusutto has been translated thanks to aisterion. You can read it on Mangadex mangadex.org/title/55aef9f2-5ff5-4443-8de8-a254fa41812c/nusutto Once again thanks for watching the video, I'm glad people like it. :)

I will from now on refer to myself as "My Reputation for Misogyny is Legendary" instead of saying that I'm queer.

Here’s additional piece of info on the “popular in Italy” entry: The second Lupin game for the PS2 was only released in Japan and Italy. Not Japan and Europe, just Italy.

19:30 in duck tales, there’s a character called Inspector Tezuka, who is most definitely a Zenigata reference. She stomps around with her arms squared and knees high

Jigen in lupin the first looks kinda like Keanu Reeves who would be perfect for a live action version

46:38 I’m honest to god obsessed with this gag about lupin being the wild animal the child has to bully and scare away for the animals own protection it’s so funny. I laugh thinking about this every time a child in a movie screams “GO GET OUT OF HERE” to his beloved dog. I’m throwing acorns at lupin as we speak

It's so weird that Inspector Gadget is basically a product of Lupin the 3rd

I love introducing people to Lupin with Cagliostro, making them think Lupin is some really sweet hero... then we go into the weeds a little more and by the time I make them watch Jigens Gravestone and Bloodspray most people have no idea what to think. I love Lupin because he is so many different characters. Soft-hearted devil, actual asshole, near war criminal, likes noodles. Its just super fun.

I'm glad this video exists and I can quell my Lupin addiction for today

As someone from Italy I would like to further expand the lore which was already established in your video related to Lupin's influence over here: at 15:22 the singer's name is Moreno Donadoni a rapper/singer wannabe and along with Young Signorino one of the most hated musician currently in Italy, Moreno's rap had a huge backlash in Italy because during the song he purposely does the spelling of his own name as well as other vanity words for himself, the backlash was so bad that when they aired the series Mediaset (the network responsible for airing Lupin in Italy) got numerous complaints and letters to fire him as quickly as possible as well as changing the opening, the other singer that continues the song instead at 15:32 is Giorgio Vanni which contrary to Moreno is a well respected songwriter and guitarist, he's the one mostly responsible for many openings and endings for both anime and cartoons in Italy with the Dragon Ball Openings being regarded as ones of his best work. At 44:57 that's Roberto Del Giudice who was the official voice actor of Lupin from 1979 to 2007, he unfortunately passed away at 67 years old with Angel's Tactics being the last Lupin related media he worked on, his successor and current VA for Lupin is Stefano Onofri which has been voicing Spiderman in any form of media from 1967 toward the beginning of the 2000, with the Raimi trilogy being the first Spiderman related media to start casting different VA for the same character.

I thought that i was a Lupin buff, and for almost all the early entries, and was nodding my head along and going "Wow this series has done a lot and i can't believe how much i know!" But when the god damn laser-disk movie poster spoof stuff popped up, and i actually blew the tea i was drinking out my nose! I was shocked at this revelation, and at the pain i was feeling due to having decently hot tea in my nostrils. After that was over, i searched up if this shit was real, and had my mind blown at the existence of this stuff. This gold mine of Lupin media, i never tapped into had me floored on many levels. Even after the point passed, it stayed with me for awhile as i sat there like that rock Nimoy talked to. Even if i knew about some of the even later, more obscure and weird, entries, this one stuck. Thank you for making this really well put together and thorough iceberg; hope you have a nice day, and keep up the good work. Can't wait for part 6!

man, seeing the Lupin Gang in a Clockwork Orange poster is so surreal. All the other posters look really cool as well!

I didn't know what I was getting into by becoming hyperfixated on this anime... This franchise is INSANE (Also, very cool and well-done video:D)

This is utterly amazing, I was pulling my hair out trying to research all these bits and bobs and I am so freaking impressed and dazzled by the production and level of detail, you got me laughing so hard with your graphics and memes. I LOVE. THIS VIDEO. SO. SO. SO MUCH. YOU'RE INCREDIBLE.

As a French person, unfortunately I must tell you that this is NOT how you pronounce "cambriole". But you said it in the funniest possible way, so you get a pass. No seriously, thank you for all the work and effort you put in this video! I loved the editing. I only got into Lupin III last month, so your video helped me make more sense of the overwhelming amount of content there is for it. One of my new year resolutions is to watch at least one episode a day, I should be done by the end of the year if I stick to it!

Those laserdisc covers are absolutely insane, especially that last Pink Jacket one.

Mamoru oshii's work for lupin also influenced other specials like Goodbye Lady Liberty (the main theme of both is the advancement of technology to the point where lupin gets depressed) and Green Vs Red (The object to be stolen turns out to be a nuclear bomb and everything has a philosophical atmosphere)

Love the video. Finally someone has done a lupin iceberg. One disagreement. The Italian op, while bad and not as good as the Japanese ver., its an actual bop

I'm really surprised heiji zenigata wasn't in here, the man koichi zenigata is decended from, I looked into it and heiji was a really popular fictional character started as detective novels and eventually had several shows with an insane number of episodes, can't remember exactly but it's in the hundreds. Although I haven't found many on KZfaq and they are all from the 50s to the 70s I believe. In the episode in part 2 computer vs lupin they make a reference with one of the coins heiji used, and in prison of the past show zenigata accurecly throwing buttons to hit a keypad implying he's really good at throwing things. (Of course that includes handcuffs)

Goemon isn't exactly black, Just tan. Maybe they changed it so he can look more asian, or maybe it's because not many samurais had tanned skin, so they left him with the pale skin.

Goemon is the only character that is named after a real person.

46:28 the Lupin flowers are mentioned in Lupin The Third: The First as well. It’s how Lupin realizes Arséne Lupin made the contraption that holds the Bresson Diary

This is one of my favorite iceberg videos ever XD The commentary is actually interesting and funny instead of just explaining facts. The part with the part 5 face reveal theories thing made me die of laughter

man. that jigen fistful of dollars laserdisc cover makes me deeply concerned over nothing in a way i have never felt before

I thought Ami was at least 19 in part 5? She said she had escaped from the people who had kidnapped her when she was 14. Then Lupin mentioned that she had been renting that underwater apartment for at least 5 years. I figured she looked and behaved younger because of how she spent most of her life either as a kidnap victim or a shut-in.

To be honest Jigen does have past romances with women(which tend not to end well because they always die, betray him or both) so Jigen could be bisexaul.

In the new part 6 there's an episode which sounds exactly like the Mamouru Oushii cancelled film, and the episode is directed by him! Fujiko investigates an angel fossil for the angel Michael. Looks like he got to create his lupin vision after all

4:38 Ok, I'm just spitballing here, but imagine a Lupin the Third and Sonic crossover where Lupin and the gang are trying to steal the chaos emeralds, like could you imagine?!

Im sorry, but the drawing at 1:02:14 insinuating that Lupin in Shinji and Fujiko, Goemon, and Jigen being Misato, Rei, and Asuka respectively is killing me lmao.

not gonna lie that Italian rap is a bit of a bop tho

Tony Oliver, Lex Lang, Richard Epcar, Michelle Ruff, Doug Erholz, The very best Lupin voice cast.

Holy Cow! This video was amazing! I thought I was a big lupin fan but this on a whole other level. Thanks for all the hard work

I know that this will get buried and you might never see this, but i just wanna say... What a good video! Very nice job! Keep up the good work and stay motivated! I hope I could make your day better.

That dancing Lupin in the Edgar segment killed me

this is such a cool iceberg video!! lupin iii series history is crazier than i ever imagined haha, thank you for your hard work ❤❤

Dan Dunn is the name on Jigen's hookup apps

This was so cool! It’s such an amazing feeling to find out there were things I still haven’t heard of after over a decade of being a fan! Thank you so much for making this!

I was cackling with the LaserDisk posters! Thank you so much for making this.

I was interested in Lupin just after I watched the movie The First this weekend and I love your video, Im so happy, thanks for doing it, love you

Glad to see another supporter of the gay Jigen agenda

lastflunky: Everyone's been talking about Jigen in Lupin III The First Me (a huge Goemon simp): Yet NOT GOEMON!? like LOOK AT HIM he looks amazing in the movie!

I can not thank you enough for this, I’ve been a fan since 2006 and the stuff you have shown us…THE MOVIE PARODY LASERDISC COVERS?!?!!!? You are an amazing person, I love Lupin soo much and I thought this was just gonna be surface level stuff, a list of the shows and movies, but nah, you dug in deep! Thank you again for putting in an incredible amount of work and talent, I’m honestly only halfway through the video and I can’t wait to see what you pull up!!

So what I gathered from this is, Lupin the 3rd has in some shape or form, touched almost all animated media I've watched. Weird, but neat.

34:10 um, there are a lot of lines from mamo that subtly implies lupin really might be a god or immortal. just thought i might add that in addition to the jigen remarks

Great video, I find myself coming back to this often :)

Wow. What a wonderful, wonderful video. I'm a huge fan (I'm obsessed with the 'Lost' Oshii script...) but I learned more than a few things from this. Thanks for your work and time. Cheers!

I love the vid the editing is really good!!

Really well done video chronicling a lot of Lupin but wow seeing stuff id done sourced in the video hit me out of nowhere!

This is the first video I’ve seen from you and it’s amazing to see there are other people who like Lupin the third. Subscribed.

Thank you for making this, I saw the iceberg but was too lazy to do research for it. So props to you thank you

Even though I understood nothing from it, I knew Green vs. Red would end up somewhere in this iceberg chart.

this was beautiful!! very well made and also you're funny :D I have watched every single episode of lupin and yet i didn't know many things here :)

26:47 love them or hate them, they’re spitting straight facts

I love this video, thank you for making the iceberg!!

thank you for including links in the description!

Awesome video, thanks for all the work!

That whole angel Thing with the fossils they just made an episode of that it was really freaky when i saw that context in your video! Amazing Video btw!

The first time I saw Thief from Samurai Jack I thought Lupin and Jigen had a kid

this is so informative! great stuff! :D

Amazing video! Keep up the great work!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!!!

I've seen so many people talk about how the Fujiko series is the series most true to the manga when in fact those Mankatsu shorts are pretty much 90% manga Lupin. It's clear they've never read the manga.

It's always nice to learn something new about Lupin. I recently watched a german version of Castle of Cagliostro that was only released on VHS back in the day. To my surprise they changed a bunch of things around...Lupin is now called Hardyman (Voiced by the same guy who voiced the TV Character ALF in Germany btw.), Jigen is called Dan-Dee, Fujiko is now called Cathrin and Zenigata is now Ed Scott. Oh and Goemon? They completely cut him out of the movie. Weird watching a version like that, but to be honest...if I saw this version before I even knew Lupin 3rd, I still would have liked it, because the movie just works fine.

The uproarious laughter you ignited when "there is no canon" flashed on the screen.

I'm so glad I bumped into this video! I watched the 3D Lupin movie when it came to a theater near me and loved my experience watching it. After that a bunch of other Lupin videos have been getting recommended to me on KZfaq and have been thinking of starting Part 4. Still, I love just seeing the fan content for this franchise. It's so fun! -also Lupin caught me off guard with how cute he was in the movie-

this video is so well made

Ami should have been in love with that princess in part 5 👏 👏 👏

This is such a good video. Cool hearing a big fan break all this stuff down. Personally I've seen all the movies and a few of the series and specials but it's my life quest to finish them all LOL Subscribed for sure :)

AMAZING VIDEO... I loved this so much!!

Lupin the 3rds Japanese voice actor singing one of the most influential songs of my childhood as Kermit 😐 I was not ready for these emotions or the rollercoaster this video has been 11/10

Lupin: there's no definitive order and you can watch whichever you want Lupin the third part 4,5,and maybe part 6: Allow us to introduce ourselves

Right off the bat: "human trash" so savage. Iconic. Love the video already

Great video, thanks for all the new info for me :)

Really underrated video Good job

You earned yourself a sub for content of this quality

I'm sure someone else already said it, but to add to the whole Kermit-thing: koichi yamadera, the current voice actor for Zenigata, has also dubbed Kermit!

Can't stop watching iceberg Videos thank you 😩🙏

Thank you for this we need more lupin content

Yes you brought up the outtakes, I got to see them live.

Some fun random facts about Lupin III in Italy: The various series and specials gave suffered a bit from censorship during the years. This is mainly because of the whole "anime is animated, ergo it's safe to broadcast it on daytime television" stigma that still isn't completely gone here. Some of them DO have integral dubs that were only censored during broadcasts (or later uncut redubs), others unfortunately don't. Zenigata has an Italian-only nickname given to him by Lupin, "Zazà", that replaces the Japanese "tottsan" (your "Pops"). Goemon is and has almost always constantly been mispronounced as "Gae-mon" by EVERYONE. Despite most series and movies keeping her original name, basically everyone over the age of 40 remembers Fujiko only by her Part 2-only dub name "Margot". While the most iconic Italian opening was the one used for Part 3 (Lupin, the incorrigible Lupin), Part 1 is remembered for using the obscure song Planet O as its opening. Which is a song about aliens kidnapping and essentially molesting a human girl. This is because literally nobody in Italy understands English, so a random English song is as good as any other. Italy has actually gotten a PS2 game that was released NOWHERE ELSE, "Lupin is dead, Zenigata is in love". Lupin's first (and most iconic) voice actor Roberto del Giudice sadly passed away back in 2007, one of his last works being the third and definitive dub of Castle of Cagliostro. He's ever since been replaced by Stefano Onofri, who's almost identical to him.

I always love these iceberg videos, and it’s so fun to learn new stuff about the things I love. It was also super neat to learn more about VIII, because I have an animation cel and sketch from that show! I’m glad I know more information about it now,,,

Banger video!! :D

Nice, i share Jigen’s birthday!

Good video i liked this very educational and informational.

Thx for the vid. Rly funny to see and interesting :)

Awesome video 😍

Thank You for this video.

That compilation of Jigen calling Lupin " Boss " didn't sit well with me and I think if I heard 2 more times then my fight or flight response and since I'm not a bird: My car radio would have gotten. ( Listened to this in my car. (

Great video!

The number of times I had to pause the video and walk around to process some of this fucking information is unexpectedly high, especially in the lower levels

My first exposure to Lupin the Third was when someone showed a video of the Cagliostro car chase during a convention panel and now ever since then his jacket has always been green in my mind

Lupin singing the rainbow connection is a feeling!

Jigen's english outtakes give...me...LIFE!

This was fantastic

i love this! thank you!!

I honestly don't blame TMS for not going with that Oshi Lupin movie, giving an idea that weird from someone who hadn't really directed much yet, a chance, would've been a massive risk, he'd probably would've had better luck if he pitched it like 10 years later

thank i for this time to revitalize my lupin obsession from last summer

Funny thing you mentioned that altered english dub of The Secret Of Mamo, because here in Brazil, we got a version of it for Mamo and Cagliostro... well, sort of: Jigen was still called Jigen (thank god), and Goemon went by "Samurai", but Zenigata went by "Dectetive Edcott, yeah, one truncated name instead of two separated ones, and Fujiko went neither by her own name or Margo, but instead "Rosário", a quite common name here by the time, and now, knowing the origin of these other names, the change we got baffles me even more;

yayyyy so glad you covered the gay themes regarding jigen !!

My request has been fulfilled! I may now rest in piece...
