There's a part II crossover ep where Lupin is horny for Oscar and has a sexuality crisis and also in TWCFM Zenigata's subordinate and adopted son who obsessively wants to fuck Zenigata is partially based on the character. I could be making this shit all up and nobody would know https://twitter.com/discotekmedia/status/1387871460174155777

Not saying the ep is progressive lol but the part II scene where Lupin looks in the mirror and is very gently like "wew man remember we're straight " is significantly better than any of the I'M NOT FUCKIN GAY!!! no homo shit in part IV/V

Part IV/V felt the need to put up a giant NO HOMO sign for Lupin alone along with for Lupin and Jigen and Lupin and Zenigata like twice each. In part I/II/III there was more comphet random lady a week stuff but they also just let the guys be really gay sometimes

-Lupin's I'M NOT GAY! when men try to fuck him in lovestruck pig
-Ami thinking Zenigata is gay/the press thinking Jigen is gay & Zenigata and Jigen having respective no homo fits
-Lupin telling Rebecca Zenigata is NOT! his bf
-The awful "we're just business partners" Jigen scene

The virgin repressed part IV/V Jigen vs the chad part III Jigen who openly reads gay porno

In the part V throwback ep they made the honestly kind of bizarre choice to be like REMEMBER, THIS GUY JERKS OFF!!!
