TRIVIA

  • The characters Maeno and Izawa often play a game called "Lupin and Fujiko", where one of them dresses as Fujiko Mine whilst the other dresses as Lupin The 3rd and gropes the other. This is a clear parody/reference to the anime Lupin The 3rd .


  • Izawa starts the anime with heavily gelled hair and is often seen sporting a style similar to that seen in Ashita No Joe .
