He usually avoids harming innocent people and never takes advantage of unfair situations. Protective. When someone earns his respect, he does everything he can to protect them. Sarcastic. He has a dry sense of humor and often responds with ironic remarks. Patient. He tolerates many of Lupin's antics, though he doesn't hesitate to scold him when he does something too reckless. Independent. He can work alone without any trouble and rarely needs help. Skills He is considered one of the best gunmen in the world. He has nearly perfect aim and can shoot with enormous precision even while on the move. He is an expert in hand-to-hand combat. He excels at driving, survival, and strategy. He has extensive experience as a mercenary and professional gunman. Trivia He always wears his hat low because he claims that if his eyes are visible when he shoots, his aim gets worse. His most iconic weapon is a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat Magnum revolver, .357 Magnum caliber. Although he seems cold, he shows great affection for Lupin, Goemon, and sometimes even for Zenigata when the situation calls for it. Overall, Jigen projects the image of a tough, seasoned man, but beneath that facade he is deeply loyal, with a strong sense of honor, and willing to risk his life for the people he considers his family.
