I think in one of the N64 games he could get a pipe that could extend.

Goemon's primairy weapon is a Kiseru (Chainpipe in the english versions)

It's a Japanese pipe which can extend itself when upgraded. Of course, this doesn't apply to normal kiseru's. Goemon picked this weapon because itt was rather inconspicuous and could be used as a bludgeoning weapon.

Another thing Goku and Goemon have in common is that their both based upon legends, although Goemon is based upon a real person, Ishikawa Goemon, a sort of Robin Hood.
Goemon's best friend, Ebisumaru is based upon Jirokichi, aka "Nezumi-Kozo", also a sort of Robin Hood like figure.

Sorry this is offtopic, it just gets so boring here But seriously, imagine Eggman in a Tao Pai Pai suit

Hehe, is that a Hitch Hiker's Guide reference?

Anyway, is the Goemon character from Lupin The Third based on the same legend as the Goemon video games?

You were suppose to say yosh (Eggman's catchphrase). Anyways, yes, that was a HGTTG reference (got a ton of them, seen the tv series, the movie, listened to the first eight radio episodes,read the first 3 books and gave up on the fourth. It was too confusing.

)

IT TOOK FOURTEEN DAYS FOR SOMEONE TO GET THAT REFERENCE?!???

Pity...you shoulda stuck with it. The fifth box (of the trilogy,

) was the best.

BOX? But, yea. I really stopped because I needed to re-read the second book for a book report (a really fun one involving a poster my teacher later threw away without asking me if I wanted to keep it

) I may read the rest of the fourth one, the fifth one and the short story come August 24 (first day of school

)

Crap! I didn't mean "Box". I was thinking of my "Box" set and Box came out instead of Book.

Well you could say that. The Lupin III Goemon is the direct descendant of the one in the legend. If I remember correctly he's actually Goemon Ishikawa XIII.

Wow, three days and I had already completly forgotten about this topic

Btw, I like Jord's current avatar. Something about deleted avatars reminds me about some man yelling in a drunken rage
