Emotional Zenigata

Here are some Zenigata expressions that caught my eye last time I watched the 1995 movie "Lupin III - Farewell to Nostradamus." Most of the animation in it is pretty tame by Lupin standards, but the odd shot is kind of funny.

The second image seems to be a trademark of animation director Toshihiko Masuda, I've also seen this expression on Lupin a few times, and for his work on American cartoons like Tiny Toons with Buster, Plucky, and Hamton, and Animaniacs with characters like Wakko, Dr. Scratchandsniff, and Mr. Director (whom Masuda is said to have designed).
