- It's hot, hot, hot! HOT! - Ugh! It's hot, hot, hot!
Lupin! What are you doing?!
Hurry! Put out the fire, or I'll be barbecued!
I'm doing my best! It's hot, hot! Ugh! HOT!
Hot, hot, hot!
The fire has reached the roof! Quick, Lupin!
Damn that Gang of Five!
- Lupin, hurry up! - OK.
You heartless bastard! How dare you leave me behind?!
I'm gonna put a curse on you from the other world!
Don't be ridiculous. I'll rescue you.
I'll be right baaack!
Go ahead!
"Shower of Cherry Blossoms: Mysterious Gang of Five, Part 2" (Hanahubuki Nazono Gonin-shu, Kohen)
Well, where did Goemon go?
He's not the kind of guy who's easily taken captive.
Nothing is here. Not even a single print is here!
Right, this cut comes from Goemon's Zantetsu sword for sure.
What?! Then Goemon stole them?
Sure he did. Goemon betrayed us.
This proves it for sure!
What on earth is going on? What's wrong with Goemon?
We've got all the aces now.
If you think about it...
nowadays, the man who is considered a rich man...
isn't Rockefeller or Rothschild.
It's that Lupin.
So our plan is to take ALL of the treasures...
that Lupin has stolen from all over the world.
Mr. Goemon, with your help, we're like an ogre with an iron club.
However, Lupin is tough.
You can kill Lupin. It should be a piece of cake.
Or are you afraid of Lupin?
What is it, huh? Why don't you say something?
After all, you can kill Lupin, can't you?!
Sake
Mr. Goemon, we all want you to kill Lupin by any means possible.
We've asked him to show up tomorrow morning.
Don't tell me you're intimidated.
Once Lupin is gone, we won't need these woodblock prints.
There!
Goemon, you've asked me out to such an eerie place.
Don't tell me you're challenging me to a duel.
You guessed right, Lupin. I have to kill you.
Why?
I've joined the gang of Dame-emon.
What the?!
Those five guys don't have any decent weapons.
With only a chained-sickle and blowgun darts...
they've challenged you, trying to take your treasures.
I was impressed with their spirit.
So you've promised to kill me?
Once in a while...
a one-on-one duel is not a bad idea.
What a joke. I'm leaving.
Be a drama queen forever.
I can't let you get away!
I see, Goemon.
You are determined to kill me by any means.
Lupin, you don't need to hesitate.
Either I die or you die. I'm ready!
Lupin, forgive me.
N-Next time... I will shoot you, Goemon.
He failed to kill him.
He was just a big talker, then.
Mr. Goemon, please...
don't say a word and run away with me.
All that awaits you from now on is Lupin seeking revenge.
Now, hurry!
Lupin is like an injured lion. Now WE are in danger.
Boss! Why don't we take off with the woodblock prints?
Where are the prints? Find them! Find them!
Yes, sir!
They're not in here.
They're not in here, either.
Boss! They are all gone.
What happened to Kikuko? Where did she go?
Damn! That woman has ruined my plan.
I'll leave no stone unturned to find her... and then kill her!
Miss Kikuko, why? Why are you running away?
Now, hurry!
Kikuko doesn't know Akahaji's nose is better than a dog's.
This way!
Are you sure?
Boss, you don't believe my nose?
All right. Let's go.
Miss Kikuko! Where are we heading and why?
I desperately need your help.
We're going to my father's place.
My father is waiting for me to return.
But he might have died already.
Is he ill?
Yes. The doctor said nothing can cure him.
He is just lying in bed.
He always wanted to see the 36 Views of Mt. Fuji before he died...
the prints that he couldn't steal himself.
That's why you joined the Dame-emon gang?
Yes.
Mr. Goemon, I know too well that this is a selfish request...
but please take me to my father in Kisoji.
I have no one I can count on. Please!
Mr. Goemon, watch out!
Mr. Goemon!
Mr. Goemon, get ahold of yourself!
You know what happens to a turncoat, don't you, Kikuko?
Go ahead!
You... Kikuko!
As soon as we find you, we'll kill you.
Then, Miss Kikuko...
Dame-emon's duel with Lupin without decent weapons...
was a trick to get me to join his group?
Yes.
He thought if we managed to get you on our side...
we'd outmaneuver Lupin.
Dame-emon is not after those prints...
but rather to steal Lupin's treasures by taking you hostage.
- Lupin's treasures? - Yes.
I screwed up his plan for the sake of my father.
Next time Dame-emon finds me, I'll be torn from limb to limb.
Oh, my! It feels good. It's beautiful.
Now, once you pass this valley, you'll be in Kisoji.
You should hurry.
What? What did you just say?
Although Dame-emon brainwashed me...
I cut Lupin.
I have to settle this with him.
No! You've managed to come this far as well.
What's the point...
Now, get going before they catch up.
No, I won't! This is not what you promised.
You told me you would take me to my father.
The situation has changed.
How so?
I'm sorry. Forgive me.
Wait!
I'm sorry.
Mr. Goemon! Please run away with me to somewhere far away...
and live together quietly...
where neither Lupin or Dame-emon can find us.
Please!
That's something I cannot do.
But why?
Because I am a man.
Go, Miss Kikuko.
Go to where your father is.
Goodbye, Miss Kikuko.
Now, come on, Goemon! I'm gonna blow your head off.
What's up? Come on, bring it on!
What's up with your attitude? Why are you acting so strangely?
Although I was tricked into it, by Dame-emon, I cut you.
To apologize, I'll commit harakiri.
What? Harakiri?
And I'd like you to assist me.
No problem! If I had a saw, I would cut your head off.
Lupin, wait a minute!
- Now! - All right. Go ahead.
Hey, Lupin. Here is some water.
Good catch. You are indeed my partner.
Jigen! Stop it!
It's all right. It's better to do what he wants when he wants.
That's what we call true friendship.
I'm ready, Goemon.
Around here, right? Your bushy hair is in the way.
Any last words?
- None. - Ready.
It's no fun cutting off the head of a lame duck.
Goemon, let's have a fight. Come on.
My pleasure!
Stop it! Both of you, stop it!
Leave them alone.
- You did pretty good.
- So did you.
Looks like they're done.
Finally I've made it.
Ou-ouch! It hurts, Fujiko dear!
My intention is to ask Miss Kikuko to return the prints to us...
after she shows them to her father.
What makes you think that witch will return them to us so easily?
Miss Kikuko is not that kind of person!
She is kind at heart.
- What?!
- Huh?
Show yourself, Dame-emon.
Come here! I'll kill you!
Goemon, we'll take care of this. Just go.
Hurry up and go. Now!
Sorry for the trouble.
Looks like that tight-ass has fallen in love with her.
Stranger things happen.
I wonder if she is the woman he thinks.
After all, she tried to barbecue me!
Miss Kikuko.
Miss Kikuko! Goemon is here.
Miss Kikuko!
Silly Goemon.
The 36 Views of Mt. Fuji now belong to me, Kikuko Benten.
Mr. Goemon!
Miss Kikuko, wasn't it?
Please return the 36 Views of Mt. Fuji to me.
Now that I've come to my senses, this was totally silly.
I've forgotten that you are a famous villain...
Benten Boy, pretending to be a woman.
If you go back to being a man, nobody would know.
So you figured it out, Goemon Ishikawa.
Since I was little, I've disguised myself as a woman...
and I have stolen anything I wanted.
No way I'm gonna give them back to you so easily.
As you see, I'm a guy.
If you think you can, go ahead and take them.
Whoa! What is this?!
It may be presumptuous to wait until asked to introduce oneself...
but I took my first bath in water from the Seine.
I'm pretty well known at the Ritz Hotel.
I'm engaged in a well-known robbery business, day and night.
I'm the infamous master thief.
Lupin the Third is... me!
The next up is a fast curve and random shooter of a.44 Magnum.
Well-known for being a cool guy, I'd give Dirty Harry a good scare.
I'm in the market as a woman-hater.
I'm Daisuke Jigen.
The next up has bountiful breasts like two full moons.
The flower between my breasts could be a woman's heart or a white lily.
I've used my feminine charm for my business.
I'm Fujiko Mine.
The next up is...
coming back from hell with a bloody sword.
I'm one of those thieves who outnumber the grains of beach sand.
Goemon Ishikawa...
am I.
The last of all, I'm a lady-killer at Interpol with a clean, righteous...
and courageous lifestyle.
Risking my life to arrest Lupin...
I've been in a rat race thousands of times.
I love justice and I will die for justice.
I am Inspector Zenigata of Japan.
Ouch!
We are like a group of five wild geese.
- Of four men...
- And a woman.
You may not have expected to see us, but...
Needless to say...
When it comes to a gang of five, we ARE the original!
- We've lost! - We've lost!
Lu....Lupin. Wait! You are under arrest!
Pops, I refuse to let you arrest me!
Number one in Japan!
For some reason, Pops begs me to help him become a thief.
He says he stole his ancestor's throwing coins...
from the transparent safe of a Professor Hunter.
The two of us go to return the coins, but...
