Howdy there, got a more straightforward revision here as I want for the other one to get approval. This revision sets it's sights on undoing a previous removal which removed The Woman Called Fujiko and all her related content from the profiles. The reasonings given for it were very questionable and likely wouldn't even matter for the series as I will explain in this thread.
Now then, let's address the reasons for the removal.
Now for the changes made due to this reversion.
Koikeverse Characters
This section is exclusive to the characters from the movies..... which currently only include Hawk, however I have made profiles for Bincam and Yael that already include the alterations made so they shall be added once this revision is approved. I'll only shortly explain Hawk
Hawk: Has his profile updated to this, mostly just ability additions that should've been there before. The only thing that's removed is Expert at Hand to Hand due to the feat not even showing any Hand to Hand combat as it's just him standing above corpses soaked in blood.
Main Characters
Abilities that need to be added or re-added due to this media returning to their profiles (Side note, Fujiko Mine is so hilariously outdated that she still has the render from before this change was made)
Nothing happens for Zenigata because his movie is stuck in limbo
Lupin gets his Enhanced Sight and Pain Tolerance feats back
Jigen gains Hacking as seen here
Because this is a Lupin III Revision, Goemon clearly needs to be buffed several times
Because this is a Lupin III Revision, Fujiko Mine gets
Now then, let's address the reasons for the removal.
- "The ``LUPIN THE IIIRD'' series continues the adult and dangerous world of the original Monkey Punch and depicts the encounters and trajectories of young Lupine and his friends. To date, three works have been released as a series: "Daisuke Jigen's Tombstone" (2013), "Blood Smoke of Ishikawa Goemon" (2015), and "Fujiko Mine's Lies" (2019)." - This line of logic is flawed for one massive reason, IT APPLIES TO THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE AS A WHOLE. Every single piece of official Lupin media is classified as Monkey Punch's original work by the same official site, Woman Called Fujiko included.
- "Mamo also shows up at the end of Jigen's Gravestone, but we don't know whether or not this leads to Mystery of Mamo since he never showed up in this continuity again even after two films." - This point doesn't matter since even if the movies end up contradicting Mystery of Mamo, that would be consistent for the franchise as a whole. The continuity has always been almost non-existent in this series, with various retcons such as how the gang met in Part 1, how they met in Episode 0, how they go back to Part 1 logic in Is Lupin Still Burning?, how they retcon that again in Lupin Zero, ect ect. Then you have more individual retcons for characters specifically like Goemon's hilariously inconsistent backstory which involves his original master dying twice and the Zantetsuken having not one, not two, but at least 3 different backstories from the top of my head.
- The anime series doesn't even follow the manga's original logic whatsoever. In the manga characters like Jigen and Lupin are noticeably different, so much so that Jigen is practically a different character with how he tries to seduce women and is considered a worse shot than both Lupin and Fujiko (can't show scans of that around here, that manga is too adult for it's own good). With Mamo showing up just furthering the idea that it's just another variation of the same cast that we are used to.

Because this is a Lupin III Revision, Goemon clearly needs to be buffed several times
- He regains his Precognition and Stamina, plus should also gain Instinctive Reaction with the Precog as seen here and here where it's repeatedly shown to be through his internal instincts. With Lupin practically descripting it as such calling it the Devine eye.
- He should also get Accelerated Development and Supernatural Willpower due to him gaining these from extensive training without eating or drinking in 3 day
- Fear Manipulation and Illusion Creation, Goemon is capable of instilling so much fear that his opponent will foresee and experience their own death to force them to surrender
Because this is a Lupin III Revision, Fujiko Mine gets
