Abilities
Jigen is master thief Arsène Lupin III's right-hand man and an expert marksman. He can perform a 0.3-second quick-draw and has an accuracy that borders on superhuman; he can shoot skeet with a handgun, explode a missile before it hits by targeting the warhead, and deflect another bullet by shooting it in mid-flight. He prefers to conceal his eyes using his trademark black hat; when one or both of his eyes are seen, it is occasionally used to demonstrate surprise. In the second anime series, it is said that he uses a notch on the hat to aim, however he's been depicted many times as hatless yet still on target. A master of many different firearms, such as revolvers, machine guns, sniper rifles, and even a PTRS Anti-Tank Rifle, his preferred weapon is a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat revolver kept in a fabric holster attached to his belt in the back. He prefers the Model 19 due to its stopping power and reliability against misfire. He also feels quite naked without a gun: during an enemy attack in 1987's The Plot of the Fuma Clan, Jigen was unarmed (during a wedding) yet instinctively reached back, grabbed at nothing, humorously aimed his empty hand and moved his trigger finger before realizing what he was doing.
