Lupin III Discussion Thread (2)

After 130 chapters, I've done it. I will now proceed to pass out in order to not go insane, goodnight.

Made a more simplistic fight while the revisions wait, shouldn't change too much considering Jigen's additions don't really apply in this scenario

Daisuke Jigen vs Sniper (TF2)

The Quickest Draw vs The Crazed Gunman Daisuke Jigen vs The Sniper Sniping's a good job mate It's challening work, outdoors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry Cause at the end of the day, long as there's two gunman left on the planet, someone is gonna want the title of best shot Battle...

Wanted to hear some community feedback on something I plan to do when redesigning everyone's profiles. I plan to add quotes and possibly voice clips to everyone's renders but I wanted 2nd opinions on this. The Lupin part 2 dub is legendary but also changes things so much it can often be considered by fans as a official parody, so should I include lines and voice clips of the dub or simply just stick with quotes from the Japanese and forego the sound files since those require to be in english.

Because on one hand, we have things like Jigen's Legendary Misogyny but on the other hand it almost feels criminal not to include Goemon Ishikawa is in the house
 
Figured while I wait for the actual revision to be accepted by staff, I'd ask in advance for any requests to the series profiles to be added when I make my massively revamped versions of them.

Any noteworthy elements to them or a particular quote you think would fit well for the specific part render for example. EX: Goemon Ishikawa is in the house for Part 2 Goemon

I would pitch this for Zenigata if he had a Movie Render.

The revamps aim to give the characters as much as physically possible, so renders for the entire main series (Parts 1-6, TV Specials, WCFM, The First) are on my addition list. Since there isn't any renders to generalize Movie variants I figured I'd just lump them into the TV Special renders for quotes unless the movie radiates with a specific part (Castle of Cagliostro with Part 1 for example). Nostradamus can work for Part 2 Zenigata/TV Specials so I'll keep it in mind. Will probably lump it into TV Specials because I was thinking of using his part 2 render for his quote in Mystery of Mamo

"Ya little...! I'll be writing "REST IN PEACE" on your tombstone when I'm done with you! That lousy little thief, I knew he was still alive! HAHAHAHAHAHA! You had everyone else falling for it! Not Zenigata! This is one detective you can't shake that easily! This is one guy who will dog your every step to the very gates of Hell!"

Did you try contacting the mods that appeared in your last CTR to check your current one?

............... why the hell didn't I think of that before asking random mods to see if anything would land... will do now LOL, can only get wiser from making mistakes (I hope)
 
Found the quote in English which means I can add a sound file to go alongside it, now the question is do we let Zenigata keep his somber tone or do we include him yelling 'YOU'RE BOTH UNDER ARREST' since that entire clip does fit into the 30 second timeframe required for voice clips

Personally, I would want to include it
 
Got bored of waiting around for no approvals, so I decided to start

PHASE 2

..... which basically just includes making profiles for the other 2 main villains of the Koichiverse and also removing the barrier between them and the mainline series.

Here is the first one and he's almost complete, only thing is I do need assistance on the gallery because I have no bloody clue on how to add videos to it without it just breaking horribly.
 
Got the revision up

Lupin III revisions: Koikeverse Update

Howdy there, got a more straightforward revision here as I want for the other one to get approval while I update that one with improved translations and images. This revision sets it's sights on undoing a previous removal which removed The Woman Called Fujiko and all her related content from the...

Eh, it happens. Did you try bumping on the staff you've contacted? A few times they legit forget.

I didn't, but its been made apparent to me that DeepL isn't considered viable for translations. I was advised by a user to use Chat GBT and Jisho so I'm using a combination of the three in order to get as accurate translations as I can. (As well as improving the images used in the scans as a plus)

Though, I have my doubts about the validity of Chat GBT's usage on here for translations as it wasn't a official Translation Helper who said that. I tried asking one before but I never got a response
 
That's not what I've heard about DeepL by staff, hell the OP even links these sites.(lucky I bookmarked that 1st link before)
Here are links to image text extraction sites that should be useful for helping you with translating raw scans:

Other normal users there have said it's 1 of the better translation tools, but still getting a translation helper>translation sites. I've done threads for other verse using deepl to translate guides & nobody complanied then(albeit I did simple/uncontraversial additions threads). Dunno if standarts have chaneged since then?
 
Regardless, by combining the three translators I've found my translations improving greatly. So I'm giving the entire post a makeover in order to have it be as good as possible

Shouldn't that one feat from Part 2 where Goemon deflects a light beam get a calc? I think it makes rela-lightspeed pretty consistent, there would be 3 feats to back it up
Click to expand...
There are even more light dodging feats around in the franchise, but many of them are uncalced or simply never got approval for them.

I do however plan to do a revision on the distant future that's basically just listing a bunch of laser dodging feats to show as evidence solidifying at least the relativistic rating being standard. Because calcs or no calcs having multiple instances of a similar feat type is evidence to support one calc being considered valid
 
Speaking of which, how many approvals is necessary for a calc to be usable? If it's just one then there is a calc usable that isn't on our verse page, and while it's a bit redundant since it's a lower speed calc than the lightning slice, it DOES however give Goemon a 72 kilometer range buff
 
If Whenever the IIIrd post gets approved, I'm gonna go through parts 4 - 6 and Zero and get the profiles more up to speed.

Also probably gonna give profiles to Nyx and DaVinci,  maybe Rebecca if she impresses me enough I DON'T NEED A 2ND FUJIKO PROFILE

Can't think of anyone in part 5, 6, or 0 who are notable enough to warrent a profile creation.

Damage approved the 1st calc here

That I'm aware of, which is why I questioned how many approvals are needed for it. Since that'd be a vital upgrade to Goemon's range

Click to expand...
To elaborate on this fact, here are the most notable characters from each parts that could theoretically be usable but I dont want to use em

Enzo Bron - While PeopleLog is a powerful ability, he's largely a non-combatant from what I recall and doesn't have much to use himself. If he actually does a lot of fighting I might make him one

Ami - More than enough content to make a profile for and has unique skill sets..... BUT I'M NOT MAKING A PROFILE FOR A GIRL WITH THAT BACKSTORY

Tomoe - Same story as Enzo but 100x worse, I know for a fact she's a non-combatant and her only notable traits is her social influence and intelligence. Which while strong only becomes a layered hax after like 60 years of prep time.

As for someone who does catch my eyes for a profile.....
 
Now that I think of it.... Mamo unironically probably has a giant list of 'Likely' abilities that can be added due to the fact that he's responsible for most of history and its achievements, only being discredited by advancements after his death. Because of that he likely just gets a bunch of random abilities due to how much weird old stuff is a part of Lupin's world like Egyptian curses and creating Zantetsukens
 
Ok, after making a road map of all the Lupin media I'm going to shift through to find things proper for the cast, I've got to know where in the god damn can I find Return of Pycal. That is like the ONE thing that TMS decided to scrub off the face of the internet using the full power of their copyright system to make sure people forget that abomination.

Only option I can find is spending like $20 on a DVD copy of it....... but it's Return of Pycal and I don't feel like scamming myself LOL
 
Give the italian dub of that OVA a copyrights resistance then.

I do recall having an imgur album with recordings of the sub before some anime website got nuked, got to verify this🤔
 
Fireld said:
That was quick
Click to expand...
I already knew what I wanted to look for at minimum since I saw some scans earlier in discussion that were listed weirdly that I plan to reuse as stealth feats (though honestly the first one could also double as another fire resistance feat, which would also be nice)
Fireld said:
I'm knowledgable in Italian & @Stefano4444 is a native, if that helps.
Click to expand...
Well, if yall find any interesting feats you want added and give me a timestamp and translation for it, I'll see what I can do with it and add it to my list
 
....... Turns out Zenigata just has an entire island filled with gunpowder which somehow wasn't destroyed meaning he still has it!?!?!

I knew this was a manga chapter but TURNS OUT IT'S TMS CANON TOO, was looking around the 50 years artbook to find very niche things that don't fall under more traditional searches and behold thy yield LOL.

It was part of the 40th anniversary for the franchise, also came with a 2 minute 3D short to act as a test pilot to see how the franchise can look if it was fully rendered 3D (Foreshadowing The First movie years later). Obviously nothing of note is VS relevant in it due to the short amount o-HOLY SHIT FUJIKO ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING!!!!!
 
Fireld said:
Cuz people that have gotten asked to calc it, are unsure how to do so.
Click to expand...
Huh, weird.

I don't know how the specifics work but if I did I would assume I'd just calculate what it'd take to cut the top right cloud diagonally in half. I came to that conclusion personally due to a few factors, firstly Goemon is shown to do 2 slices with his blade, one diagonally and one to the right and we can see that the cloud he slices is clearly sliced diagonally and the bottom section isn't connected to anything. We can see from the first image that there was no other clouds there that he could have been used and it seemingly is connected to the clouds below it warranting a vertical cut (plus the fact that the clouds were moving right to left help in that idea). I always interpreted it as Goemon having the clouds move faster by proxy of making them lighter in order to stay in the dark while gliding.

I see Lupin III discussion so I'm obligated to join.

Anyways may as well drop a point of discussion, but do we think Lupin could solve the Kira case?
