Is it because he's always nailing smug weirdo rich fuckbags? Is it the peter falk hard carry? Is it because despite being canonically a cop he does anything but act like a cop?

Is everything downstream of columbo an attempt to erase his legacy as the hound of wealthy sociopaths?

Is Columbo a demigod?

    There's a Columbo's son which is the antagonist of the week in one of part 2 Lupin III episodes (1977-1981), funnily enough.

      Apparently that's episode 72, "The Skateboard Murder Mystery" or "You're Sapphired!", and the kid's name is Bolonco also spelled Boronco. So I guess I still have 30 episodes left of Part 2 before it gets to the good* part!

      Show Screencap: Bolonco in a room wields a skateboard in his left arm and has his right arm raised to his hair in a similar way to Columbo's typical gestures. He wears similar clothes and has similar hair to Columbo, though a different hair color. Bolonco says, "That does imply 100 escapes, doesn't it?"

      *Lupin III is good throughout, this is just a joke.
