Crazy Mash is a major antagonist in Lupin III: The Hemingway Papers, serving Mr. Marcese and later General Consano.
Biography[]
Several years before the film, Jigen and Mash were part of a group that caused an avalanche to steal money, but Mash betrayed them and killed three other members of the group so he could had have the mon.
Crazy Mash first appears when Marces orders him to carry out a mission. Along the way to the mission, he flies around Lupin for a while then he positions his plane in the air too close to Lupin for his safety before flying off to his mission, assassinating the German man who has the key to the chest containing the Hemingway Papers.
When Lupin arrives, he finds the murdered man when he gets spotted in the castle. In response, Lupin waits for the plane to come closer before driving his motorbike onto it as Mash tries to fire a rocket at him. The damage on the plane causes Mash to fly straight to the moon while asking who in the world Lupin is before crashing.
Later, when Marces is getting ready to fly off to Corcaca Island, Crazy Mash, who survived his crash, and his other mercenaries greet him as he was about to get on board. Here, he explains that everything Marces ordered has been loaded onto the plane he has boarded.
Soon Carlos witnesses the arrival of Crazy Mash and his fellow mercenaries prior to Mash cutting off Carlos by firing at the soldier holding the camera.
Mash then greets Jigen, saying it has been a while. Jigen also realizes that Mash gained some power since they have last met.
When Jigen infiltrates to fortress, he tries to shoot Mash who was seemingly asleep only for it to turn out that Mash placed a straw dummy in the bed then proceeded to hold Jigen at gunpoint, reminiscing about the time he betrayed him.
Mash was about to kill Jigen until Lupin, impersonating a soldier, intervened. After incapacitating Mash, they escort him while maintaining their soldier disguise so they can have a duel to the death.
When the count reached five instead of ten, Mash ran off. When Jigen fired, a flasbang was set off and Mash's fellow mercs attacked, forcing Lupin to retreat without Jigen and Mash was shown to be hiding in a hole in the ground prior to Jigen's capture, with him and his fellow mercs laughing at his misery.
After Lupin and Fujiko steal the key and the box containing the Hemingway Papers, Mash and Marces pursue the two via helocopter. Once they've captured the care they are in, Mash makes them surrender the box and the key, asking them, particularly Fujiko, if they are willing to surrender. Despite Fujiko saying she gives up, the bloodthirsty Mash tells Marces that Fujiko refused to give up, leading to the car being dropped into the ocean.
After Marces shows Consano the box containing the Hemingway Papers, the latter reveals that he contracted the services of Mash. When Marces tries to make business with Carlos, Mash shoots him to death on Consano's orders.
When the time comes for Goemon and Jigen to have their duel to the death, Mash arrives with Rivera to pick him up from his cell, leaving Zenigata in his cell. Mash then gives Jigen a gun with one bullet for his fight with Goemon, making the threat to have him shot if he disobeys orders.
At the construction site Goemon and Jigen are about to fight in, Crazy Mash watches with interest as the fight is starting.
When Lupin rides in a the claw of a construction vehicle to save Goemon and Jigen, Mash fires a rocket at them, which fails to destroy the claw.
Following his failure to kill the three, Mash wastches when Carlos and Consano examine the papers, they find that Hemingway himself went on a trip with a friend to seek the treasure of Corcaca Island and left three days after Hemingway's friend died at a palace made of treasure.
Following the analysis of the papers, Mash comes with Carlos and Consano's armies as they head towards the location of the treasure. Mash was present when Rivera spots Lupin & company, but managed to survive the ensuing flood alongside his fellow mercs in the valley of death.
After Lupin inspects the treasure of the palace, which turns out to be actually Uranium-238, and tries to leave, he and his friends get confronted by Mash and his mercenaries one last time. Before this last fight, Jigen tells Mash to tell his third mistress that he died on Corcaca Island.
This culminates in Lupin and company fighting and dispatching the mercs with Jigen managing to kill Mash before all four escape the cave as it collapses.
Notes[]
- It is unclear if Mash told Marces that Fujiko said no to his offer because he saw through Fujiko's lies about returning to Marces or because Mash wanted to kill them.
