CHARACTER
NAME: Jigen Daisuke
CANON: Lupin III
CANON POINT: Post Season 1 aka Green Jacket
AGE: 30-ish (it's never stated in canon, but he's clearly over 30)
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Bi (with preference for males)
APPEARANCE: Good Arts Here!
HEIGHT: 178cm (around 5'8ft)
WEIGHT: 70kg (around 154lb)
KINK LIST: Here!
BACKGROUND: There's some basic info here in the wiki about his background, but I wanna flesh out the green jacket arc (and some events prior to it that are revealed in the second season) a little more, since the wiki doesn't cover them:
So, piecing together Jigen's background is kind of hard, because the canon never really mentions much about his past, before the start of the canon itself. There are tidbits here and there in some episodes and specials, but they are never too clear or super well explained.
What can be said is that, he has been an outlaw for a good part of his life (he's shown in the series once training with his gun, under the guidance of Joe Spade, when he's around 16-17, based on his appearance). Also somewhere in the past, after his deeds with the mafia, he also got to know this girl by the name of Angelica and fell in love with her big time, but ended up having to leave her, since he didn’t want to put her life in danger due to people always trying to hunt him down. There's also the incident with Mash back when he was part of an outlaw group, where Mash betrayed the entire group and left Jigen and the others to die in some snowy mountains after a heist.
Overall, his life is a mystery, even to the ones close to him.
One of the very few detailed explanations that are given was how he got to meet and join Lupin, which is described in Episode Zero. After being hired by some rich man to be his 'bodyguard', it didn’t take long for Lupin to show up and try to rob the man's house, only to be confronted by Jigen. After a brief fight between them, Lupin managed to escape almost unscratched, but Jigen vowed to go after him and kill him, no matter what (because… that’s just how he is, really). The days passed and Jigen just got more and more frustrated by the fact that he couldn’t seem to get his hands on that blasted thief. When both of them are captured by the very man that hired the gunman - Lupin, for trying to steal his most precious possession, the Cram of Hermes, and Jigen for betraying him – and Lupin is given a gun to kill Jigen, the thief ended up not doing it, telling Jigen’s ‘boss’ that he should kill Jigen himself if he wanted vengeance so much.
From this point on - and after being saved a second time - Jigen started to feel some sort of respect towards Lupin, but that didn’t exactly stop him from seeking revenge. He even went after Goemon, whom was after Lupin too, just to kill him so then he could be the only one 'hunting down' the thief (and, in his own words, he owned Lupin a favor for saving his life).
It didn’t take long for them to actually join forces, when Jigen's former boss started to chase after them and demand their extermination. With some help from the police that arrives at the brink of time, they escaped, mostly unharmed, and have been together since then.
However that is open to speculation, because, at the end of Episode Zero, it is revealed that not everything from that story is real, so it's never clear what's true, or even if that's a factual story. Not to mention that the episodes in the series don't really follow a chronological order. They are quite 'episodic' and don't really reveal much about the past of any of the characters, so it’s hard to pinpoint specific facts from Jigen’s past aside from the very few things aforementioned.
PERSONALITY: First things first, Jigen isn't the type of person to be all that much social. He prefers to keep his interactions with others to a minimum, coming out as almost aloof, unless he 1) is totally sure that he can trust that person, or 2) can relate to that person at least to some extent. Although, he has a lot of trust issues thanks to a multitude of events in his life, so having him trust you is something you have to earn, really.
But, he does appreciate having some fun from time to time. After all, all work and no play isn't the way to live. Of course that he isn't always willing to party and go out like his fun-loving partner Lupin, but when he feels like it, he can be a somewhat good company to keep around, if he wants someone to be around that is. It's not uncommon in the Green Jacket arc to see him accompany Lupin to parties, like in that one episode where they get explosive watches on their wrists......
Despite his anti-social behavior, Jigen isn't exactly short tempered or quick to anger. He's actually pretty calm and cool, despite being an alleged criminal with a pretty extensive track record. But when people start stepping on his toes a little bit too much they are in for getting yelled at and, possibly, injured, depending on how much he cares about the other person. It isn't hard to see him yell in protest at some of Lupin's attitudes all the time, and Lupin is one of his closest friends, so one must be careful about what they say or do to him.
He might also be a liiiitle gullible when it comes to paranormal stuff. Like, when Pycal showed up with "magical" powers Jigen was positive the guy had legit powers and wasn't just using tricks (until Lupin figure out what Pycal was trying to pull) and also during Mamou's episode where he's genuinely freaked out by what he was capable of. So, yeah, he gets the spooks from unnatural things really easily, which is ironic coming from a guy who cheated death more times than necessary.
Also, even though he's a thief and, mostly, an assassin, he's a man of honor and a reliable partner if he's on your side. If he ever gives someone his word, he's sure to keep it, no matter what, unless said someone tries to make a fool of him.
It also must be noted that he isn't very eager to get involved with women. Most of his reasons to dislike women is because most of the ones that crossed his path were backstabers, with very few exceptions (see Angelica), but it's better not to push him too much about that subject, or you'll only piss him off. Also, Fujiko didn't exactly help with his distrust of women, since she's raraely trustworthy... But he still kinda worries about her despite that fact, and that's very obvious in the episode where Lupin goes to jail and Fujiko is trying everything to get him out, and Jigen keeps looking after her well-being (aka preventing her from getting jailed too).
Finally, he's pretty ambitious, and once he finds something that he's really interested into, be it money, jewels or some random golden statue from a rich man, he's going after it. But he's sure to keep some level of caution while acting, because one slip can lead to prison or something a lot worse. In short, he’s a lot more cautious than his pal Lupin (but then again, Lupin is one hell of a lucky bastard, so he doesn’t really need caution…).
Additional funny 'tidbits' about his personality which aren't important but are worth mentioning since they are canon: his favorite drink is whiskey, he sometimes tends to chain smoke, and his favorite gun is the S&W Combat Magnum M19. Also, he doesn’t like people messing with his hat, specially taking it off his head (if you are super close, than maybe...).
POWERS/ABILITIES: Mainly, he's one exceptional shooter, with the ability to aim and shoot with amazing precision and speed (it is rumored that he has a drawing time of 0.3 seconds with a handgun, which isn't too farfetched, as his shooting speed is on par with Goemon's swordsmanship). He’s more inclined to make use of revolvers, which are his specialty, but he'll be happy to shoot with anything from machine guns to sniping rifles. He's just THAT obsessed with guns. Also, the thing about the hat over his eyes? It’s just so you don't where he's looking at, so he might be aiming at you without you even knowing.
Still on the same subject, he's fairly decent at hand-to-hand combat, but nothing really above normal when compared to someone leading a life of crime similar to his. So, he can hold his own against, like, average people, but you can't really expect him to take down people who are considerably stronger than him (or have more professional fighting skills) with his bare hands. Especially if they come in numbers. He might be quick on his feet, but that ability can only take him so far...
Regarding other traits, he can pass by someone else pretty easily, due to his ability to disguise himself, a skill he got to learn from Lupin, whom is amazingly talented when it comes to that.
