Is it illegal to say that that person should NOT do that alone?
Stories like this are so funny in juxtaposition to what I’ve been reading. I recently got into Arsène Lupin stories from the early 1900s (praise be royalty free) and it’s full of fanciful jail breaks and such. Where’s the impersonation of a real person? Where’s the accomplices sending messages in code? False fingers full of money? No, we get Mr. Pizza cutter. Clearly not a gentleman burglar.
Also, L.M. is the initials of a big bad in one of the stories, lol.
ooo, have a good place to start? i enjoyed the netflix and have been thinking about binging the anime, but i might have the attention span for the book in a month or so

The very first book, in all its public domain glory.
Do note that the anime is about Lupin III, which is canonically the grandson of Arsène Lupin.
ooo, thanks for doing all the heavy lifting for me!
Ah yes someone beat me to it! I second the recommendation. The first two books read very much like episodes of an anime. They were released as short stories in a magazine initially, so they’re easy on the attention span.
The third book, The Hollow Needle, is more of a novel but maintains the same qualities. After that… bit of a mood shift but you’ll just have to see. I understand that it goes back to fun episodes eventually but I’m still recovering from 813, lol.
wasn’t a lot of the best writing back then released in periodicals?
Yup, or at least most popular writing. The funny part was Arsène was literally conceived as a way to build off the fame of Sherlock Holmes which recently had got translated into French and released in periodicals. Arsène, being French and anti-police, immediately became a star in France, lol.
Anderson said he had weapons in his bag, and inside the bag was a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter, according to the criminal complaint.
NOT A PIZZA CUTTER
The fool. Everyone knows prison bars are made of overcooked lasagna.
It’s because Luigi is of Italian descent.
I’d much rather fight someone armed with a pizza cutter than nothing at all because, what kind of a stupid ass brings a pizza cutter to a fight? That’s a crappy fighter right there.
Or he is so elite that he is using techniques that you cannot even comprehend.
You know what they say, don’t bring Parmesan to a pizza cutter fight.
You cut your parmesan with a pizza cutter?
Depends on the pizza cutter I guess. The rolling ones, for sure, but the long heavy blade ones that you rock to cut the pizza? That could do some damage.
You can sharpen the round ones.
I was bored so I sharpened one of mine a few years ago… honestly it was a very dangerous game changer
The only possible way this scenario could be improved is if the would-be jailbreaker was named Mario
you haven’t seen what damage it can do!The cutest in the world reference. Maki is great.
Maki Itoh? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Yeah! Look at the damage!
I am thoroughly confused by this sequence of events
Wrestling. LOL!
But…why pizza cutter…
That’s gotta be part of a bit. That’s about as useless a weapon or tool as you can get.
Slice n dice!
If you get that pizza cutter rotating at about 1500 RPM it could be quite dangerous.
Then again, if you manage that, you’re probably Donatello from TMNT 🤷
Did he think he was busting him out of Flavortown Jail?
The barbecue fork is gonna up the severity on this one. Why couldn’t he have just taken a regular fork?
You need that extra reach.
Don’t forget the pizza cutter. That’s basically a nuclear weapon.
Anderson
Cooper? 🤞🤞 (would be such that great and unexpected twist 😁)
What a shame, they could have done great things together.
Impersonating an asshole is a crime now?
I don’t know if that’s an actual quote, but I read it in Dean’s voice regardless.
Lmao same
Agent Beyonce tried to jailbreak Luigi.
Luigi needs news time, but this is silly.
Wrong…
All publicity is good publicity… especially for our boy Luigi
The only good FBI agent
It’s a me Mario I make a you a pizza.
Absolute fuckin Chad move, honestly 🫡
Chaotic good vs lawful evil?
I’m not saying I condone anything here but… seems that guy’s biggest mistake was going at it alone - i feel like asking the right folks he could have showed up with a whole contingent of “FBI” agents, convincing badges, a cover story, a black van and properly forged transfer documents! 😂
Too high profile, they would never fall for it in msnhattan there. In pa in the first day maybe but super risky, and they would be recaught. Shit is locked down more than most realize.
I’m still waiting for the
defenceprosecution to fuck this up so that he gets to go home free, and maybe can sue them for slander after.The prosecution?
Oh god yes that’s what I mean
Hopefully they fuck up as badly as you just did 😁
Armed to the teeth, mama mia!
Is there a place I can donate to his legal fund?
Mankato Man strikes again
