The gritty Lupinverse seems like an odd choice, but neat eitherway.

I know the series involves a lot of stealing and scamming, but I think they took this too literally.

I hope this is just some ploy for him to steal all of their worthless, ugly apes.

Jfc, just let this nonsense die already...

Lupin is too good to be dealing in NFT's. He's a world-class thief, not a scuzzy con man.

(Also for pete's sake, who's going to pay money for a picture of a shoe?)

I know people who would buy literal pixels, and i know other people will buy anything relating to blockchain and crypto. It's all just ridiculous

Lupin was always a pro at parting fools from their money. Laughing

BTW, the Lupin films mentioned are licensed by Discotek, and for sale at Right Stuff. Also, now that Seven Seas accepted the union, you can pick up their edition of the manga for it's current 55th anniversary.

So, TMS will allow this bullshit, but good faith, complimentary review videos of their material, those have got to go? Sheesh.

Penguintruth: TMS is a lot more likely to embrace YT than Toei. Though I still miss the Frank Zappa Brain Police Lupin and the Pink Floyd Lupin AMVs....

Just why. Lupin may be a thief, but he's waaaaay above NFT scams.
Not even Fujiko would be okay with this.

How is it a scam if it's an official partnership/product? Aren't the scams the ones that pretend they have the license or artwork when they don't?
