Lupin III/Heartwarming

• It may sound awkward when written, but this troper melted when she saw this scene from Da Capo of Love: Fujiko's Unlucky Days (The Columbus Files in the U.S.). Lupin tries to jog an amnesic Fujiko's memories by trying to jump her, but when he notices the sheer fright on Fujiko's face, he changes his mind and instead hands her his jacket to keep her comfortable.
  • The opening of the movie itself is one, as it shows despite all the tricks and backstabbing Lupin and Fujiko truly do love each other as much as people like them are capable.
• The episode "Goemon's Close Call" from the second anime series, especially the end, where Lupin and Jigen manage to rescue Goemon from the hands of two assassins, who have spent the episode torturing him in an attempt to get him to tell them Lupin's weakness. Lupin cradling an injured Goemon with a look of absolute fury on his face in particular just shows how far along these two characters have come since the days they were sworn enemies.
