Okay, I know the heroes being skin-broke is a classic seinen trope and all, but explain to me how the most infamous and successful thief troupe in the world can possibly have problems having enough cash to buy food with.

I know Lupin's more into thievery for the love of the game than anything else, so I can see him not having a huge bank account, but seriously how are they broke?

Jigen, you have got to slow down with the smokes, I guess.

Literally Goemon's only function is to be Lupin III's Cut Farfetch'd.

Even though he's supposed to be a modern successor thief like Lupin??? I don't think he's done anything actually thief-y since his intro episode, if even then.

I think Fujiko's the only one who does her own side gigs. Jigen and Goemon seem to only do robberies when Lupin's involved.
