In the show they pronounce it like it's french so I use /ʒan/, correct french pronunciation is /ʒɑ̃/, the japanese probably pronounce it like /d͡ʑɑ̃ɴ/

Yeah, it's pronounced the French way, which is with a soft J, like zzJawn. The Japanese subs of the anime show the right way😋

I'd pronounce the name how the person with the name pronounces it so in this case it'd be John.

French pronunciation, /ʒan/. In the case of "Lupin", do you pronounce it as /lʊpɪn/ or /lʊpan/?
