And the winners are:
Lupin - John Yuknes III
Lupin, the world most-wanted (but not necessarily most-competent) thief,
the man who leads us through this enjoyable and noteworthy romp through
the wacky Lupin universe. This man of many women is able to pull of
elaborate heists and still remain one step ahead of the police -- in this
case, the bumbling Interpol agent Zenigata. Despite his villainy, he's
clearly on the side of good, due to the fact that he frequently finds
time, amidst his sly schemes, to defeat villains far worse than he, or any
in his band of compatriots. Lupin travels the globe seeking exotic
treasure, lovely ladies, and good times and through this it is easy to see
why the character has endured for almost 30 years. In this case, who
wouldn't want to be him?
Let us just follow him on another rousing adventure where the treasure is
always common, and the beautiful women are always around the corner.
Jigen - Adam Overholtzer
Jigen is a ridiculously good shot with his revolver, and that's pretty
cool. But really, with Jigen it's all about the hat. Why does he
always wear it? That's the real question... Sure, he's interesting
because he has a mysterious past (which is occasionally alluded to) and he
is Lupin's primary companion and hence has a very interesting life, but if
I could learn one thing about Jigen it would be about the hat... Being
Jigen would be cool, perhaps the coolest of the lot, because he has such
presence and he carries himself well. Lupin will make a fool of himself,
but Jigen is always on top of things. He's a good guy and should be a much
sought-after ally.
Goemon - Scott Frerichs
This warrior, whose' bloodline travels through out the ages, is a man
beyond men. Full of honor, pride, bravery and with a keen since of justice
he prevails through any situation with a masterful look. His sword skills
are those almost unrivaled in all the world and spirit stronger than
tempered steel. Though this man of honor is not without his sly side. He
is ruthless and whatever he needs to get what he wants, short injuring the
innocent. Trained to be tough and fluent he matches every foe he meets.
Whether it be with his fantastic swordsmanship or his fast thinking he
knows how to win in almost every predicament.
A man of few but flawless words, he is, out of the bunch, who I'd want to
be.
Go Go Goemon!
(Not to mention the badass things you could do with that sword. Hell
yeah!)
Fujiko - Ryan Wong
Well... if I was female, I'd want to be Fujiko because she is one hot
lady. All the men around her grop, and beg just to be near her. But she
doesn't care for any of that unless a diamond, gold, or just hard cash are
involved. She's conniving and always looking after number one. She like a
black widow, beautiful but deadly.
InspectorZenigata - Tim Riston
Zenigata has the desirable job of being an interpol inspector. It would be
great to have a family rivalry that goes back two generations with
someone! His mission is to catch Lupin, which he never will, so basically
he is paid to keep the rivalry alive; what better job is there? Being one
of the many sources for comic relief for one of the greatest animes for
all time would be awesome as well. Zenigata's goofy antics never cease to
entertain people. If I were Zenigata, I wouldn't change a thing, chasing
Lupin all over the world looks like a lot of fun ^_^.
