Synopsis

Spoiler shield

After Inspector Zenigata is reassigned from the Lupin case and grows despondent, master thief Lupin the Third decides to help him get his old job back, teaming up with the old man to destroy the international weapon smugglers Shot Shell. Together with Lupin's long-time partners in crime, they steal a nuclear Russian submarine and enlist the help of a nuclear physicist named Karen, who keeps suspiciously eyeing Lupin's partner Jigen. If that weren't enough, Zenigata's Interpol successor is an assassin who aims to pick off the Lupin gang one by one.

Part of

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.
