Synopsis

Spoiler shield

When a Lupin impersonator is arrested for shoplifting in Tokyo, dozens of other copycats converge on the city to clear the name of Arsene Lupin III. The real Lupin is in town too, both to watch the show and to steal a mysterious item called the Ice Cube. But one of those impostors also has sights on the Cube. Is he good enough to beat the original at his own game?

Lupin the Third Collection

Lupin III is the grandson of the famous phantom thief Arséne Lupin. He is an elusive master thief who always steals his target prey. His brain is a genius, and his gun skills are top-notch, but his only flaw is that he has a weakness for cute girls. His companions are Daisuke Jigen, a gunfighter with a rapid fire rate of 0.3 seconds, Goemon Ishikawa, the 13th Samurai of the Showa era, and Fujiko Mine, a mysterious beauty. Together with these guys, who have their own quirks and quirks, they will once again receive a treasure in a spectacular manner, while trumpeting the seventh generation of Inspector Zenigata Heiji and his formidable enemies in the underworld.
