Headcanon: Lupin Is Genderfluid

Headcanon: Lupin is Genderfluid

hiii gamers I'm back to spout some more rambles, this time i will talk woke shit

I've had this headcanon for a while, not only does it I feel makes sense to his character and his whole shapeshifter kind of deal but I have uhh "evidence"- aka. moments in the manga that hints to him not giving af about his gender

(P.S. i wanna first say that I'm not genderfluid myself nor have any friends that are, so sorry if what i say about genderfluidity is incorrect, please correct me if there's anything i say here that is wrong.)

I'll first start on why it makes sense without the evidence. Lupin countless times, manga and anime, disguises as either man or woman, showing that he is comfortable serving the role of any gender. Perhaps he even disguises as a woman at times to reflect his shift in gender identity.

While you may argue that disguises doesn't necessarily mean anything trans-related, Jigen also uses disguises but I don't think there's been any time in the manga where he disguised as a woman, Zenigata once disguised as a woman but purely out of necessity to catch Lupin, and Goemon actually had dressed as a woman and seemed to enjoy it, but I think my friend already made a post about how she thinks he's a closeted trans-woman already so I'm not gonna touch on that.

Lupin is the only character that consistently disguises as a woman and acts very natural about it, implying he does feel comfortable as a woman, though I think he leans more towards identifying as a man most of the time (or secretly neither).

(This is when I add my evidence)

There was also this passage in New Adventures that Zeni questions whether Lupin behind the mask is a man or a woman, perhaps neither. He is a complete mystery on the inside, and that includes his true gender.

(adjusted translation)

The fact that he feels threatened could imply that he's uncomfortable about his gender, but then again I think it's mostly him messing with Zenigata considering it was a fakeout. He doesn't strike me as the insecure type about that sort of thing.

Regardless, MP wrote this here for a purpose so I like to interpret it as Lupin being gender ambiguous.

Lastly, the dual chapter story, Ch. 80 - Brain Swap and Ch. 81 - Body Work, has Lupin forcefully get his brain swapped with this old man that wants to live forever. To get him out of the old man's body, Lupin tricks the scientist to swap his brain with Fujiko, thinking that he is the old man in Lupin's body. BUT ANYWAY

HE IS WAY TOO COMFORTABLE IN FUJIKO'S BODY.

WHAT CIS MAN JUST CASUALLY WALKS AROUND IN A WOMAN'S BODY LIKE THAT? that's right he is not cis he is Genderfluid that is my very extremely convincing and conclusive evidence on why Lupin drank the gender fluid.

He even called it a remarkable experience, I think he was a bit happy about being in a woman's body for the first time

and yeah that's it

thanks for reading, byebye!
