* RatedMForManly: Lupin wants you to believe he is the manliest guy you'd ever find. The Manga fits very well; it is full of AuthorAppeal for killing and seducing.

* AmusingInjuries: All over the place in fine ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' tradition. When the bullets and bombs start flying, you never know if the result will be {{Gorn}} or just a bunch of [[AshFace ash-faces]].



* TheSyndicate: One of the many, ''many'' things setting OG Lupin apart from his anime predecessors. No OddlySmallOrganization here - the "Lupin clan" can field dozens of {{Mooks}} if the story calls for it (one story says it has ''over 1600'' henchmen).

** A recurring antagonist/[[TheRival Rival]] in the series is the [[YouDirtyRat Rat clan]], for the most part [[EvilVersusEvil equally ruthless]].

* AdaptationalJerkass: Bordering on AdaptationalVillainy: The flashbacks to Lupin's childhood depict his grandfather - [[Literature/ArseneLupin Lupin the First]] - as the kind of ruthless bastard who'd [[spoiler: set teenage thieves - including his grandson - to duel to the death for rights as his heir... ''after'' tricking them into a contract that signs up the loser(s) as [[WalkingTransplant his next heart donor]]]].

Added DiffLines:

* ThematicSeries: In the original Japanese - and ''especially'' the initial magazine run - most chapters were numbered as part of a miniseries. The majority of these were ''not'' [[StoryArc story arcs]] proper, but standalones that just happen to share a common theme or antagonist (''e.g.'' [[EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether Lupin in college]]).

* OffModel: In his very first appearance, Goemon's face is drawn in such a way it looks very similar to Fujiko's, just with thicker eyebrows. He keeps this look throughout the chapter with the exception of two panels and the title page, in which he has a more distinctive masculine look, suggesting it was likely a mistake made by the inker. For his following appearance Monkey Punch tweaked his design around enough to gave him a more distinctive look, changing the shape of his face and eyes and giving him sideburns.

* ParodyEpisode: ''Frequently.'' The original Manga stories simply used the Arsene Lupin III character as a vehicle to drive a story, through whatever tale Monkey Punch wanted to tell, such as one chapter being a parody of ''Series/MissionImpossible''.
