I just made this smoking Jigen gif very quick but I kinda like it. I would do more animation stuff but it’s so exhausting and took so long to make it smooth.

AIpril time!
Did you know it was Yasuo Yamada (the voice of Lupin the Third) who was singing this song in japanese version?
Well, in any case, now you do!
This brilliant performance shall not be forgotten, however I couldn't find any good quality of it. And so, I went through some longer journey of experimenting with AI voices and my music skills
and here it is, proudly presenting my beloved project of restoring and remastering of this song!
I hope you will enjoy this piece just as I do!

It's surely an amazing tool which must not be used in the wrong way!

Restoring the balans by giving you Goemon being comforted by Lupin :)
Episode 112 will always be my favorite! It was so well-written, so emotional and it most certainly shaped the way i perceive Goemon and especially his relationships with Lupin and Jigen. For me the short dialogue in the end between Lupin and Goemon when they finally meet will always be iconic because its one of the greatest depictions of just how much they care for eachother. And thats why i chose this screencap for my redraw - because this is something dear to me
