Lupin III: Gambling Update

[Detective_Blizzard]

I could arguably understand it for Goemon's weapon (although, yet again, I remember it being chipped by some chick with metal teeth at one point, not to mention he hasn't consistently cut up anything nearly as big as the moon, his best feats being a water spout and. if I remember correctly, a small meteor) but his sword has always been significantly above anything the cast can actually do. Just to add to this, the moon falls down...it FALLS DOWN and causes splashes in the sea nearby...the moon doesn't work like that fam. Last time it didn't work we nerfed Donkey Kong's moon punching feat to 6-B.

The Zantetsuken is a weapon that varies wildly and has been prone to PIS at times due to either Goemon's CIS or more general PIS. Your point about it not consistently being able to cut things is irrelevant because he's similarly not consistently cutting water spouts or shooting stars, with the water spout also not appearing in the TV Series and being from another outside media from it and the shooting star being a one time feat.

The Donkey Kong comparison is also a false equivalence as the main problem with that feat is the actual size of the moon as it has direct shots next to DK and his island making it massively smaller, not the concept of it hurdling towards earth. In this example nothing is anywhere near the Moon for comparison.

I also find fault with many abilities being proposed like Fujiko creating petals and Zenigata generating superlong handcuffs. This verse does have sueprnatural elements but it ain't MHA or something, it usually follows normal logic like the fact that a man cannot generate metal out of his hands. One of the first episodes of Lupin season 1 is literally about a guy who seems to do supernatural things but Lupin discovers his tricks and uses them against them, all of the tricks being based on stuff that's realistic for the most part.

Your information is heavily outdated and runs on logic the series had long since abandoned. Magic exists in the verse in several locations, Pycal himself (the guy who used tricked for the supernatural) returned later on with actual magic, the cast already is accepted to have some supernatural abilities, and again that is on the very, very, low end of the spectrum for the verse. Fujiko doesn't even create the petals out of nothing, that's an equipment thing and Zenigata has been generating handcuffs for actual decades (don't have a clip of that on me, since I'm so behind on revamping everything still, but I do know it's a thing for him to just absolutely bury Lupin in handcuffs). Supernatural things just exist in the franchise, with actual biblical heaven and hell existing in the verse, with Fujiko being hired by an archangel to steal Luficer's corpse. That's a mainline part btw, specifically Part 6 Episode 10, so yeah trying to argue realism is just faulty logic as the series has looooong since abandoned it.

Mech creation is egregious as well. Sure, I am not fully knowledgeable on Lupin and I haven't seen it all, but last time I checked there was no logical explanation for Zenigata, an interpol officer who often struggles to get proper clearance in different countries while chasing lupin, to suddenly have enough money and resources to create a colossal mech that can obliterate islands. This isn't a world where you can casually obtain something of that caliber, how is this consistent?

Check Zenigata's profile, he literally has intelligence already accepted for him being capable of building robots. Additionally while Zenigata is often shown as "an interpol officer who often struggles to get proper clearance in different countries" that is also highly outdated logic, in more recent times he doesn't have any issues with it. This is the same man who was able to pull the resources needed to literally build an island entirely made of gunpowder, with the specific intention of blowing it up. Additionally, this legit is a world where you can casually obtain things of this caliber, atomic weapons of various forms have existed for a very long time, black hole weapons have existed since at least WW2, and there's a bunch of tech based super-hax such as pocket realities, dream possession, and time travel (yes, characters are capable of inventing time travel with the verse's current technology).

I could go on and on but my point is, this verse usually operates in realistic boundries and has arcs or episode where something supernatural happens. Usually, especially during the latest seasons (the animation style of which is used by the pachinko machines) these supernatural encounters don't go beyond encountering a ghost or the creation of a machine that is unrealistic but still is based on in-verse scientific discoveries (i'm specifically talking about the dream machine by Davinci). Otherwise we aren't getting any mechs, we aren't getting any moon destroying feats.
Shit, the counterargument is simple as it is really, if Goemon cut the moon then why's it still there later down the line?

Yeah, uh, no. The franchise is still going above and beyond with doing whatever the hell it wants in that regard, old or new. As mentioned before there's the biblically heaven and hell thing however there's more recently (and currently) the Isekai world which is an ongoing storyline RN which is just spitting in the face of such ideas.

As for the counterpoint, as mentioned before in the post literal time powers as well as an unmentioned power due to literally nobody scaling to it (and it not really being an ability ever used in combat) info-manipulation. So yeah, there is actual explanations on how the moon can be destroyed and then return later on.

Sure, I know that the series is very inconsistent with itself all the time and yet it canonizes most things, but unless you have some serious evidence of the canonicity of the pachinko machines being canon, I don't think this should fall into the composite. In fact, composites are forbidden, the only reason the profiles here are composites is because most iterations of Lupin are canon to each other by inverse statements and events.
The revision should be explaining why this should be part of the composite, not the composite explaining away the addition of this.

I literally did in this thread and it was explained and accepted in the one that was about the series being one in the first place

For proof on how they can connect with the rest of the franchise, that's easy with the Fuma Method™ because for god knows what reason .9% of the series having a connection is because of them. The Fuma clan originate from Part 2, then they get a OVA, then they are connected with a group in a TMS Manga story which includes media from the Pachinkos, Games, Light Novels, and the TV Series, and then finally that original manga story gets it's own TV Special sequel.

Please do not make arguments about the franchise's canon when you aren't that familiar with it, this is a series with a massive amount of content which goes under the radar by most people due to Part 2's popularity. Such arguments are disingenuous to the series as it invertedly ignores a large bulk of it's history, the franchise is deceptively high-tech despite the more casual nature the stories tend to be due to the more popular parts of it.
