When was Dan Lorge's last voice role as Zenigata?

[OcarinaPen]

I know that the Geneon crew dubbed the first 79 episodes of Part 2 and several movies from 2003-06, but were there any Lupin dubs featuring Dan Lorge from 2007 until his retirement?

EDIT: When I say "Geneon crew" I'm talking about the voice cast, not the company itself (so Tony Oliver, Richard Epcar, etc.)

as far as I know, it wasn't the case. Geneon lost complete rights after Episode 79. BTVA research shows me that Treasure of the Sorcerer King was his last Lupin role pre retirement.
However Episode 52 seems to be the last episode aired on Adult Swim (and the original Toonami block died a little after) was in 2007 with The Lupin Whom I Once Loved.
Episode 79 seems like the most likely candidate of his last Lupin role, his last role overall was Warriors Orochi 2 as Goemon Ishikawa (that feels wrong to say).

Someone who has way better knowledge of the 2000s and especially american dubbing at the time can correct me on this, I just did some surface level researching.

I would also like to add Episode 79 is called The Lupin Death March. The show was literally mourning the death of its dub lmfao saying it ended with sad violin music.

They actually didn't lose rights after episode 79, Epcar and others have confirmed they had done a good amount of work, including recordings, up to around episode 100. But then Geneon cancelled the dub releases on DVD for a few reasons, shakeups at the company, poor DVD sales of Part 2, etc.. So all that work went unreleased, and is technically the second piece of Lupin lost media I know of. However, it's likely largely gone, Epcar has stated he doesn't really know where all of that work went and it was done for a long-defunct company almost twenty years ago, so it's likely either in someone's production archive somewhere, or long gone. And even if they did find that audio work, it's probably not all finished, we really don't know how much was recorded, so even if by some miracle they did find that work, they'd probably redub 80 - 100ish anyways
So, Dan Lorge's last work as Zenigata is probably one of those unreleased episodes. And that would have been around mid 2006

Okay so the wording seems to have been a little confusing. When I said "Geneon crew" I was referring to the main cast of the Part 2 dub

 

[WateredWillow]

I understood what you meant, the last Zenigata role Dan Lorge did, as a member of the cast of Part 2, was officially episode 79, and unofficially an episode between episodes 80 and 100 or so.


And they didn't dub several movies by the way, the Geneon crew only did Mamo before they lost rights
Dan Lorge only did voice work for Part 2, Mystery of Mamo, and the first PS2 game Treasure of the Sorcerer King, as far as I'm aware [with the Mamo dub being in around 2005, and the Ps2 dub being in around 2003 or 2004 I think)

Thru minimal research, I have discovered

This is apparently from Discotek's 2017 Part 2 DVD. Dan Lorge likely reprised his role for this sometime around 2016-2017, making this the last time he voiced Zenigata

Most Lupin movie dubs done during the 2000s was by FUNImation who were having their high with YuYu Hakusho, Dragon Ball and FMA 2003. Unfortunately the Lupin stuff did not sell as their two giants at the time and lord knows FUNImation was making fricken dough with those Dragon Ball Z releases (despite their awful quality that there are several youtube essays on why) shame because I really love Sonny Strait as Lupin and Meredith McCoy is cool as Fujiko (however my brain just defaults to seeing it as Krillin an 18)

Apparently this is a dub of a deleted scene in Episode 78 of Part 2, found on the 2017 release of Discotek's Part 2 DVD. Dan Lorge likely reprised his role for this sometime around 2016-2017, making this the last time he voiced Zenigata

That's super cool, I wasn't aware of that actually, that's super neat.
