this line delivery kills me every time
japanese ver which to my (very limited) understanding may imply Jigen is disinterested in women sexually/gay? I've seen it talked about on twitter before a couple times
gay
there's an in-depth thread I saw on this a while back, if I ever find it again I'll link it here
WOOP FOUND IT https://twitter.com/MindReceptacle/status/998339395924250625
this is also gay but for different reasons
english dub took all the gay energy from jigen and gave it to zenigata instead. also him going nuts and firing his gun in the air like yosemitie sam after cuffing that guy is one of my fav visual gags in part II
japanese version for comparison
Generally I care a lot more about supporting independent queer art than desperately trawling for subtext in stuff made for a cishet audience and I wish people looked for crumbs less but I think there's a lot of genuine gay energy in Lupin stuff
There's also a scene in part IV at Lupin's wedding where Fujiko implies Jigen is jealous and in part V where a girl assumes Zenigata is in love with Lupin in kind of a weird meta way and he has a cliche no homo freakout
not a fan of the cheeky meta IS HE YOUR BOYFRIEND?? stuff generally honestly (from part IV)
I liked this though (same episode)
