*The National Bank of America*
Where to now, Jigen?
That's right.
It's just above.
Get ready!
-Ready? -Yes.
We did it.
What's the matter?
Where is the gold?
Nice work,Lupin The Third.
Me already stole the gold.
Me next target will be what you value the most.
What is the meaning of this?
It's a challenge letter.
It's addressed to me.
I don't know who it is, but he's really daring.
My most important object is...
(Lupin`s Splendid Failure)
*Las Vegas*
14, red.
I win again.
Lupin, there's a brat with Fujiko.
I don't think that kid issued you the challenge.
Even if he's a kid, he's still male.
Hey, Romanov, where is the next one?
If you can always know the answer, no one would want to open a gambling den.
Fujiko, here it is.
Bet on 1, red.
1, red.
Rascal, don't think you can figure it out so easily!
Romanov, don't bother about this rude man.
There are not many people in the world who know how it woks.
Wha... What? What?
1, red.
It's 1, red.
Great, it's like a dream to me.
I like you! I love you!
This is coincidence, just pure luck.
As long as you know how, even luck can be predicted.
And finding the answer is me job.
You? A scientist?
"Me"? So, it's really you!
Stop kidding!
I won't accept a challenge from a woman and child.
Romanov not an ordinary youngster.
He holds a doctorate from the university. Soon he'll be a professor.
Me is going to be 11 soon.
And me is going to research methods of stealing.
Stealing is not science, it's a very high level of skills.
If the prize is me, will you accept Romanov's challenge?
Fujiko is the prize? Why didn't you say so in the first place?
All right, I agree.
Can't you see the truth?
But first, let's finish that challenge.
Who are you?
Look out!
Run!
Help meeeee!
They're using bombs?
Me was the one who invented this explosives.
If someone's captured by the enemy, it explodes to silence him.
What about the guys in the helicopter?
They are from the counter-espionage. Member of the KGB.
But why would the people from the KGB attack us?
Their target is me.
When me came to America, me was branded as a traitor.
I'm always trying to catch Lupin, and I always fail.
That kid doesn't have a chance.
You don't need a gun to kill Lupin.
All you have to do is destroy his pride.
What do you mean?
The fight will be today.
Whoever gets more money, wins.
You say Lupin and the kid will compete in stealing?
Inspector Zenigata, this is your chance to catch Lupin, right?
Fujiko, why are you helping that kid?
This time, Lupin will lose.
And even the CIA are interested.
The...The CIA?
Fujiko, what are you hiding?
I just like people with money and power.
I don't care about loser like Lupin.
Don't joke about it,Mr.
I said to give up all of your money.
But this is all.
I can't see it, but there should be more than 5 million here.
Get lost!
Where are the money?
Two guests won all the money of the casino.
That's all that's left.
What kind of guests?
A young mother with a kid.
Damn! It's that brat.
Call.
Black Jack.
Yes...
I already told you I wasn't lying.
To think this...
I've been working in the bank for a long time.
But this is the first time I've seen this happen.
I asked the other banks and it's the same there.
Damn!
This is it.
Lupin, Romanov already has 50.000.000.
If this goes on, there won't be anything left for us.
And there is no time to go to other cities.
Looks like this time, you are defeated by a kid.
As long as you don't give up, there are many ways to win.
Strange, where did Lupin go?
Oh, cigarettes.
What's going on?
Lu...Lupin, when did you become a small thief like this?
I don't have the luxury to waste time with you, pops.
I hate petty thieves.
Wait!
If that's so, then let's use this.
Damn!
I let him escape again.
The time has come.
Lupin hasn't appeared yet.
What is the meaning of this?
Even if you have so many, it won't beat Romanov's 50.000.000.
They are about 100.000, right?
Look.
Just 100.000, you can't win.
Is that so? Let's do a counting then.
I might have 50.000.001.
If you want to count, it will take 14 years, 9 months and 18 days.
Anyway, let's say it's a draw.
Me find you as a worthy opponent.
I don't feel happy having a kid praise me.
That's right, diamonds.
What about diamonds?
Diamonds?
This way the fight will be fair.
Try to get the biggest one you can.
After 24 hours, we'll come back here.
And see who's bigger.
Me can do that.
I don't object.
Lupin, forget it!
Your opponent is a kid. Even if you win, the victory will be meaningless.
If I don't accept it, I will become a laughing stock.
A man's got to do what a man's got to do.
Then it's decided.
This time, we'll have a winner.
You call yourself a CIA agent?
Don't talk so loudly.
I picked this place, because no one could find out.
Hurry up and tell me the results.
That medication can be easily produced.
But no matter how much you take, you will never become a genius.
How could this be?
Look what it did with Romanov.
Listen up.
The KGB are after him because they don't want anyone to discover
that they have invented a medication to make kids geniuses.
If it is for real, then everything is over...
They will surpass America in science, art and sports.
That will be a great downfall.
Right, there won't be peace in this world.
It's...it's a tunnel.
Stop!
Stop here!
What's wrong?
I don't like this train. I'm afraid of the dark.
What CIA...
Help meeee!
He... he...hee..!
Isn't Lupin going to have an all out match with the kid?
With the CIA and the KGB involved, we can't tell the winner.
There is no reason to stop.
Even if you win, your opponent is still a kid.
It won't be counted as part of your achievements.
I'm a naturally born talent.
How could I lose to one who's taking medication?
Think about it! He can deal with bank accounts,
but stealing diamonds is a whole other story.
A really big diamond is something precious for it's owner.
Even if you have the money, you can't always buy it.
So the only way to have it is...
...to steal it.
Looks like you finally understand.
No matter how much he has, he can't use the money.
Then you have an advantage?
Right! Lupin's target is America's largest diamond.
The American Star #1.
We need to steal the 2000 carat stone:The #1.
Then we will win.
Listen!
Lupin is a master of disguise, don't be fooled by him.
Inspector, someone's coming.
What?
Who is it?
What is a kid doing at this time here?
You'll catch a cold, so go home.
Yes.
Even Lupin, will not be able to disguise himself as a kid.
I didn't count the cold as a factor.
There is no more time. I have to finish the plan.
It's not that simple.
The answer is 10?
But why did he wrote it in Japanese?
There's a small time period, after the defence system starts.
And they have to be picked up in the order:
#3
#2
...#1 within 30 seconds.
30 seconds then?
And I have only 10 seconds for #1.
He knows it too?
But it's takes skill, not just knowledge.

Me won.
Me beat Lupin.
Lupin...
...this time you won't escape.
Waaaait!
He ran upon hearing Zenigata's voice, he doesn't know the true meaning of it.

It's not just skill, you need courage and daring.
Then you'll succeed.
This is not good.
Looks like I got a cold too.
Wait, if it's "10" as "life" and also 10 as hours...
Don't tell me...
That's bad!
He got it!
Get outside now!
This is the #2 American Star?
Looks like I failed...
It's American Star #3.
Me won.
Me beat Lupin.
Congratulations.
Are you happy now?
You have to know I'm a genius...
Romanov, what is it?
High fever.
The fellows from KGB appeared.
Fujiko, get him to the hospital, quickly.
Let us deal with everything else.
Hi, Lupin!
Hi, Fujiko!
Romanov is alive for now.
Is it just a cold then?
According to the tests, his health is deteriorating.
He's like an old man.
That medication...
...will age a man by 10 years just in one year.
To become a genius, you have to sacrifice your health.
How pitiful.
You purposely lost. I've changed my opinions about you.
Why don't you just say that you want the #1 American Star?
will you give it to me? Thank you,Lupin!
So you really stole it.
Hi, pops!
Hi, Lupin!
What are you greeting me?
I'm going to arrest you today.
Wait, Lupiiiin!
The mermaid looks just like Fujiko, I must have it!
But pops is guarding it.
Thus begins a fierce battle.
