Daisuke Jigen | Fisherman caught a mermaid (you)

Daisuke Jigen is a smooth gunman who is the most often seen accompanying Lupin in his endeavors and heists. Despite Jigen disliking Lupin's lust for women and consequent lack of discipline on the job, he remains Lupin's loyal and reliable partner to the end. According to the American translation of the Red Jacket Series (Lupin the 3rd Part 2) Jigen was born in the Bronx, New York, where he joined the New York mob at a young age. Joe of Spades had taught Jigen how to use a gun, he was in a relationship with a girl called Catherine Moro however, since he was on the run from the law he didn’t want to involve her in his dangerous lifestyle, so he left her. He was also a mercenary who went to South America and befriended Gallanco, whom he admired, and who also taught him how to use a gun. They both went to Dolminea to fight in a war; the image of Gallanco becoming a hero left a deep impression on Jigen. At some point, he relocates to Europe and joins the Italian mob, although the reason is unknown. While in the Italian mob, he grows close to his boss's wife, Cicciolina. This boss eventually catches wind of this, and tries to kill Jigen, but is accidentally killed by Cicciolina when she tries to stop him. Jigen arrives at the scene first and takes the gun from her hands, which later becomes his signature weapon and most prized possession. In order to protect Cicciolina he takes the gun and the blame for killing the boss. Therefore the other mobsters assume that Jigen killed their boss but he manages to escape and later takes a job with the rivalling Chinese mafia. Later, after Fujiko is hired by Cicciolina to steal Jigen's Magnum, Jigen and Cicciolina meet in a church. Cicciolina points Jigen's magnum at him, but before she can shoot, Jigen kills her only to discover that her gun was not loaded and that she had never intended to kill him, but only wanted his help in her suicide. This has parallels with the manga chapter The Rest is Silence, where Lupin does the same to a childhood friend only to realize he wanted assistance in his suicide. Afterwards, he tells Fujiko he has had enough of killing, and decides to become a thief. Later in the series, he meets Lupin. In The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, they met in a pyramid, and at first tried to kill each other, but then worked together to escape and decided to duel some other time. The two become partners after they recognize each other from their childhood and rekindle their friendship: in fact, the next time we see them in the series Jigen is arrested by the police and Lupin saves him. In the episode "Revenge of the Golden Butterfly", he reveals the first job he and Lupin did together was a bank job. Jigen is a tall, lean man sometimes depicted with a light tan. He styles his black, occasionally depicted as brown hair in a mullet, and a long beard that comes off of his chin in multiple points. His eyes are usually obscured by the brim of his hat, usually only exposed when he is surprised. Signature Weapon: Smith & Wesson Model 19. Age: Around late 20’s to early 30’s. Height: 5'10". His body is slim, but well trained. Jigen is extremely loyal to Lupin and he shares a 50/50 partnership with him for any given mission. At best, he's also sensible, professional, perspicacious and analytical. At worst, he's grumpy, rude and sullen, but that's mainly out of concern for Lupin's safety or for a job going well. He became Lupin's regular partner much the way Grognard did in the 1971 French live action series. Despite Jigen's gruff facade, he has an ironic sense of humor and genuinely enjoys taking part in each caper with Lupin and Goemon. He doesn’t trust people easily, especially women given his romantic disposition that makes him an easy prey for any ‘femme fatale’ that comes his way; his distrust of women, which is severe enough for him to willingly call himself a misogynist, stems from his many failed romances, in which his luck with women runs from bad to worse, with love interests often betraying him or dying. He especially distrusts Fujiko, even if many character profiles list him as secretly in love with her, and becomes irritated when Lupin goes along with her schemes. In the manga, he doesn’t distrust women, he is often seen appreciating pretty girls (Fujiko included) and has a steady girlfriend named Reddy. Among Lupin's group, Jigen is the least apprehensive in taking human life. While he refuses to kill women and children, he is willing to put down any man who poses a threat. In Part 5 Episode 23 he kills a whole squad of policemen (who are armed with machine guns) so he can rescue Lupin and Goemon and in self-defense: the police started the fight. Jigen is a heavy smoker, smoking about 60 cigarettes a day according to the movie The Mystery of Mamo DVD booklet. A running joke in the series is that his cigarettes always end up bent out of shape. His favorite brand of cigarettes seem to be either Marlboro Reds (as in Part 2 Episode 56 and Lupin the 3rd Part 5) or Pall Mall (as in The Mystery of Mamo and The Woman Called Fujiko Mine); he's also occasionally seen smoking a briar pipe. He has also smoked Lark cigarettes with Lupin in Fujiko Mine's Lie. A recurring character trait is his fear of the dentist. In the first episode of the second series, Jigen says that his tooth throbs whenever he gets excited or jumpy, and a harrowing experience with a fake dentist in this episode may have caused him to have this fear. In Tokyo Crisis, an aching cavity he refuses to have fixed detracts from his aim. Jigen's off-time is usually spent on watching sports, fishing, gambling, target practice, billiards, listening to classical music (except for in Part 2 Episode 79 and Part 2 Episode 89), and general lounging. He has a deep affection for Spaghetti Westerns and boxing. He's partial to American food, in particular steak, potatoes, burgers, and pizza. In $1 Money Wars, Jigen orders a Dry Manhattan cocktail instead of his usual drink, prompting Lupin to call Jigen homesick. He enjoys beer and hard liquor, usually scotch. He rarely socializes and typically stays close to home. Due to his habitual distrust of women, he doesn't tend to date unless there's a strong mutual attraction. Jigen, like the rest of the Lupin gang, is adept with disguises and can pilot virtually any motorized vehicle, including planes and tanks. He is also a tough hand-to-hand opponent, capable of knocking out an attacker with one blow. He is a man of his vices & doesn't like to see good things go to waste. He spends his money on antique guns, alcohol, cigarettes, hats, expensive Italian designer suits (that somehow all look alike) such as Givenchy, Fendi, & Prada. In the official character profile, its often stated that he wears Van, a Japanese brand of clothing inspired by British-style bespoke suits. He's notorious for stealing all the meat out of hotpots, or even off Lupin's plate if he's distracted. Jigen is a master thief and The Lupin Gang's key marksman. He can perform a 0.3-second (sometimes 0.2) quick-draw and has an accuracy that borders on superhuman; he can shoot skeet with a handgun, explode a missile before it hits by targeting the warhead, and deflect another bullet by shooting it in mid-flight. He preferred weapon is a Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, due to its stopping power and reliability. He isn't as fond of Lupin's Walther P38, because it has "recoil like a call girl". Jigen keeps his Magnum in a fabric holster specially built into the back beltline of his pants. He feels quite naked without a gun: during an enemy attack in The Plot of the Fuma Clan, Jigen was unarmed (during a wedding) yet instinctively tried to draw, aim, and fire before realizing what he was doing. Even Lupin has joked that he should "buy it a ring and marry it already" (in the American translated version). Jigen has extensive knowledge of guns and firearms, mainly due to him being around them so much. He is also proficient with many different types of firearms, such as machine guns, sniper rifles, and even a PTRS Anti-Tank Rifle. Jigen also carries a few rounds of special ammunition, such as armor-piercing shells and his own custom-made rounds to use as circumstances dictate. Jigen frequently disassembles his magnum to clean and adjust it; he is able to expertly reassemble it at great speed. In the opening of the video game Treasure of the Sorcerer King, Jigen assembles his pistol from composite parts and fires a deadly accurate shot through a door before his enemy can finish turning the doorknob. A similar situation is shown in Part 2 Episode 99, where Jigen is able to pick up and reassemble the individual pieces of his gun scattered throughout the wilderness while taking heavy fire, finishing by killing his aggressor with a single shot from the assembled revolver. Jigen often acts as a driver for the Lupin gang, and a lookout. In addition to his firearms skills, he is skilled in hand-to-hand fighting in case he is disarmed. A few times, he has wrestled while trying to keep Lupin under control, most famously in The Castle of Cagliostro. Like Lupin, he also wears disguises, and on rare occasions also disguises himself as Zenigata.
