Goemon is an incredibly gifted martial artist, both in hand-to-hand and melee combat. However, he is best known and usually employed for his skills in Iaidō and the famous sword that he uses. His sword goes by the name of Ryusei (流星, "shooting star") in the manga, but it is better known as its animated incarnation, Zantetsuken (斬鉄剣, "iron-cutting sword").
A hilarious panel I remember is of the pope baptizing Lupin, and the other bubble telling that Lupin blogged about a confession that he’s 5 months pregnant. I’m not making this up
context is he was purposely flooding the news with misinformation but this got me
Ramon: Of course, you’d crawl on your belly over broken glass to be all alone with Vanessa in a romantic old castle, who wouldn’t?! But what if you were chased there and surrounded by an angry army of jackbooted thugs? See, for me, that’s even kinkier, which is why I deserve her and you don’t.
the wizard of oz (1939) is a lot like the castle of cagliostro where the movie is full of a certain sincere lightness and hope that is cherished deeply for a reason a very good reason. but the source material and other adaptations of the wizard of oz and lupin iii are all markedly different and at times the tone will venture into dark cynical experimental and surreal. which can REALLY put people off to it when they go in expecting more of the other thing. but if you go into it expected entirely anything possible it can be REALLY cool and interesting and weird, iconic and great stuff. i love you mystery of mamo i love you The Wiz i like how you are kind of scary and would have made me cry as a child now i think you're actually like genius. and i still love you cagliostro and judy garlands oz you are literally nestled deep where my tender heart and soul are ❤️
