Miyazaki's interpretation of the character is original, though. Monkey Punch and everyone else have always pegged Lupin as an incorrigible, double-crossing, <i>hairy</i> stealing and raping machine—whereas Miyazaki presents him as an equally savvy but kinder, gentler Robin Hood type, whose days of foolish excess are largely behind him. Hence all the debates among fans as to whether "green jacket" Lupin is better than "red jacket" Lupin.
