Lupin the Third[edit]
Hi, I'm fairly certain that Moose's design is based off of Lupin the Third, but I wasn't sure if it was worth including in a trivia section on Moose's page, since there is no official confirmation.
Here are the aspects of his design that convince me he is a reference to Lupin:
- His Japanese name is "Pin."
- He has brown, fluffy hair and a raised eyebrow, both of which are iconic parts of Lupin's design.
- In his New Horizons portrait, he is wearing a red jacket, similar to one of Lupin's common outfits.
Is this enough evidence to justify mentioning this in his wiki page? I'm new to contributing to wikis, so I wanted to ask about it before attempting to edit the page. Thanks! Peng1 (talk) 11:19, March 19, 2024 (EDT)
- The red jacket is compelling evidence that it's a reference to Lupin the Third, and it would explain why Moose's house looks similar to a criminal gang's hideout. The name thing is almost convincing, however, there's an issue there: the thief's name is ルパン (Rupan, or Lupan), which is similar to Moose's name, ピン (Pin), but it's not as strong as the derivation of Lupin -> Pin in English.
