Inspector Zenigata - Blog Posts

I have an urge to post something, but I don't have anything new, so here's this goofy-looking Inspector Zenigata drawing I did back in 2022.

Lupin III One Piece AU. (also a partial style mimic exercise)

Captain Lupin III of the Lupin Pirates, has no desire to hunt for the One Piece and take the title of king of the pirates. Instead he enjoys finding other treasure, following obscure maps, exploring ruins and learning the worlds secrets. Originally from the North Blue, and a big fan of the ‘Sora Warrior of the Sea’ comics.

First Mate Daisuke Jigen, Sharpshooter and the closest thing they have to a medic. Originally from the South Blue, Former Marine, Former Mafia Associate.

Goemon Ishikawa XIII, Swordsman. Originally from Wano, but has not seen Wano since he was 10.

Fujiko Mine, Underworld Information Source for marines, pirates and revolutionaries alike. It doesn’t matter to her so long as she’s getting paid. Lupin buys treasure maps off her a lot. This leads to her wanting a cut of the treasure though.

Vice Admiral Koichi Zenigata and his assistant Lt. Goro Yatagarasu.

Zenigata is the wielder of the Shackle-Shackle fruit, allowing him to turn any object he picks up into a set of handcuffs. He has been after Lupin since the pirate stole from a marine vessel carrying tribute for the celestial dragons.

I imagine their antics happening in the background of the main op story line. Just- Lupin and the gang having adventures while more important things are going on. Fun loving pirates and the marine they keep fishing out of the ocean because he keeps forgetting he can’t swim.

is anyone really surprised i immediately liked Zenigata?..

It's a bird. It's a plane.

It's Pipo-kun!

I finally found the TV series with subtitles. In the middle of the episode two, I noticed this plushie in the background. I was surprised and happy. 😆😊

For those who don't know, Pipo-kun is a Tokyo's police mascot. It's a mouse-like creature that maintains order in the city.

Inspector Zenigata (TV series)

I was planning to watch a live action spin-off about Zenigata. However, I have two questions: 1) The ones who watched this series, is it worth it? Do you recommend it? 2) I know there are two seasons and one special. But I got confused about the poster. Which "part" has which poster? Tell me, please.

Updated: The questions were answered. (Thank you for the feedback)

- he was. Redrew a panel from a Lucky Luke comic.

Thing I made back then because Inspector Zenigata was my comfort character and my discomfort character by never leaving me the flip alone (This isn't as in-depth as it could be and I haven't been into Lupin the Third recently)

Same thing but the video plays below

How does this plan go exactly?

I haven't properly practiced using color pencils yet but someday I will

Anatomy practice??? This made me realsie I need to learn how to properly draw underarms tbh

Funsies

Make it a norm to not feel pressured to post finished crap ✌️would love to do original work to express myself but all I can do for now is escapism !

This scene is why I love zenigata just the most earnesr and genuine thank you to a citizen that helped him (even though it was just Jigen and Lupin in disguise)

Also revisiting part 4 episodes because my memory just destroyed most of the plot I might have remembered before. Then again seeing a summary of the plot makes it seem bonkers my brain just couldn't handle all that. So have Zenigata praising Goemon's cooking (there's a cool fic on ao3 that recaps the scene but they actually do talk instead of Lupin telling Goemon what Zeni thought)

Sketches

I have trouble committing to finishing work so sketches galore I guess

My sweet pumpkin pie Koichi Zenigata. I have been lurking in the depths of tumblr searching sweet crumbs of Lupin the Third content. And yes, I gave him grey hairs becuz of the stress that thief gives him. I'll try to add some other details cuz this man has went thru it ALL
