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.
