The location is Kyoto's Sanjogawara...
...where the great thief Goemon Ishikawa is about to be put to death in boiling oil.
This play is being performed 400 years after Goemon's death.
Please watch in enjoyment.
What a marvelous view.
Who says the view of spring is worth 1000 pieces of gold?
Too little, that is...
In the eyes of I, Goemon, it is worth 10,000 ryo! 100,000,000 ryo!
With the sun lowering in the west,
these are truly cherry blossoms of a spring evening.
Their scarlet glow, how beautiful a sight it is!
That's it....
I was so close!
Give it up. You've already lost 3000 yen to that thing.
Quiet. When I want something I've got to have it.
That's the nature of Lupan.
Say, Jigen.....
Having fun with your crossword puzzles?
Once you start with these you get hooked.
But anyway, is Goemon's play still not over yet?
He's probably crying his eyes out at this very moment.
I mean, come on, who pays respect to their ancestors' history with a kabuki play?
I will have my revenge.....
Even with the fall of the Ishikawa...
...the seed of thieves in this world will not perish!
What is that you say?!
Remuneration for the pilgrimage.....
What the heck...!
What is it you are you after?
The Zantetsuken.
Don't let him escape!
Yes, yes...
I got it, Jigen!
Goemon?
The kabuki play had ninjas in it?
Doesn't look like this is part of the play.
Lupan The 3RD
Moeyo Zantetsuken "Burn, Zantetsuken!"
You're under arrest for causing this mess right in the center of Ginza!
It's Pops, just great.
This isn't good.
Let's scram.
Goemon!
Lupan! I've got you for sure this time!
Go, Lupan-Catcher!
Lupan-Catcher?
Well, Lupan?
There we go!
I've done it! I've caught Lupan!
He's gone and made another weird gizmo again.
He must've thought this one up at an arcade.
It's a parade on the way to your jail cell!
So now what, Lupan?
Ninpou. What do you think?
Ninpou? Not bad.
Hiyah! Ninpou!
Off with the jackets we go!
Damn it! They got away!
Send men to all sewer and drain exits at once!
They're not getting away from me!
Sounds like he's gone.
Looks like he forgot this can be both an entrance and an exit.
Pops is so naive.
Hey you.
Be wary.
The shadow of death is about.
Looks like he couldn't foresee his own fate.
Goemon.
Why were they after us?
It was I whom they were after.
It would be in your best interest to stay out of this.
Involve yourselves any further and you too shall be cut down.
As unsociable as ever.
Don't let it get to you.
What do you say we head on over to Paris.
I get the feeling something fun's just about to begin.
Paris, France
A lecher's mug if I ever saw one.
What is?
The guy who was checking Goemon and us out at Ginza.
This is him.
If it isn't Chin Chin Chu!
Yep, Chin Chin-chan, the boss of the Hong Kong Mafia.
So what was he doing in a place like that?
No way to know unless we go see him.
Go? Where?
Chin Chin-chan's party.
It's just a single jump to Hong Kong by private plane!
P-private plane?
Hey, can this thing really fly all the way to Hong Kong?
Yeah. Well, there's a chance we might need to...
...suddenly stop somewhere and do some driving instead.
Huh? What?
It'll work out.
HONG KONG
Every single guest here stinks of money.
Worldwide recessions have nothing to do with this place.
What will you have to drink?
The wolf here would prefer to grunt.
And I'll have...
...Bunny-chan's blood!
Gulp gulp gulp!
Tomato juice suits you well.
What's this?
Fujiko-chan! I want to suck your blood.....
This gun is real, Lupan.
Would you like to have 3 nostrils?
And what's more, it's loaded with silver bullets.
How scary!
Why're you in a place like this?
What's with that sort of greeting?
Am I maybe not supposed to be here?
Nothing like that at all, nothing like that at all.
Right, Jigen?
Nope, I just got this bad feeling.
Every time Fujiko shows up no good comes of it.
Oh my.
I'll have you know Chin Chin Chu officially invited me here.
What about you?
Of course we received invitations too.
That's nothing but a fake, I assume?
Ding ding ding.
I can tell what you're up to, Fujiko.
Get close to Chin and swipe away his fortune, right?
Take my advice,you'd best give it up while you still can.
I'm after an even bigger treasure.
A bigger treasure?!
Lupan.
You've heard of the Titanic, haven't you?
The Titanic?
The luxury liner that sank in the Atlantic?
Yes. That Titanic.
This is the Titanic?
The treasure Chin's after is at the bottom of the ocean, inside the Titanic!
That is correct.
Welcome, Lupan The 3rd.
I thought I might be seeing you.
On April 10th, 1912...
...the Titanic made by the White Star Steamship Company and the world's largest luxury liner at the time...
...set out on its maiden voyage headed for New York from Southampton.
4 days after leaving port and with New York ahead of it,
...it struck an iceberg and...
...sunk 4000 meters to the ocean floor,with a total of 1547 passengers and crewmen still on it.
4000 meters?
There's more to this story.
The truth is, the Titanic also had a secret treasure on board.
That treasure was a dragon figurine.
A dragon figurine?
And Lupan the 1st, your grandfather, had his sights set on it.
Lupan the 1st was among the 654 who survived.
He had announced he was going to steal the dragon figurine and snuck himself onto the Titanic to do so.
I see.
So Gramps was crazy about the latest fads!
It was the only thing Lupan the 1st announced he was going to steal but never did.
It was on the bottom of the ocean...
...of course Gramps couldn't do a thing about it.
Don't you find it interesting?
Perhaps the world's most precious piece of art, which Lupan the 1st couldn't steal...
...is stored in the ocean floor art museum known as the Titanic.
And the only way to see it is from the grotesque depths of the ocean.
But the treasure was never found.
Exactly.
In order to bring the dragon back up from the Titanic...
...I went so far as to build a deep-sea submersible...
...and looked everywhere in the room where the dragon was supposed to be.
But it wasn't there.
The door was locked from the inside and its owner's skeleton was still there.
A secret room then?
Whatever the case may be, the dragon just up and vanished.
Despite the fact there was most definitely a secret room.
So what do you say, Lupan the 3rd?
Will you accept this challenge too?
If the mystery surrounding the secret room is solved, you'll acquire the treasure Lupan the 1st couldn't steal.
Sorry to disappoint you.
I don't team up with dangerous folk.
You won't change your mind?
Think about it.
That's the grave where 1547 people lie.
What would I do if it's cursed?
Terrifying, terrifying.
Is that so?
Very well, then.
So, what will it be, Lupan-san?
If I say no?
I'll set you up in the storefront of my Chinese restaurant.
But with all of the skin completely ripped from your bodies.
Hmm, whatever shall I do?
Bye bye, Chin Chin-chan!
So it begins.
Yes.
Lupan will show up without fail.
In the unlikely event that the dragon falls into someone's hands...
...it will be nothing but an ordinary figurine without this scroll.
You're alive!
I've got you now, Goemon.
Are you a descendant of the Hattori?
Indeed I am. Tsume no Gensai.
Descended from the same blood as you.
Which makes us stepbrothers.
It is not the Zantetsuken you are after.
Your real target is.....
You know what it is.
I would like to have that scroll in your kimono.
I will not hand it over!
Whether I take it from you while you are alive or when you are dead...
...it makes no difference to me.
Get him!
Goemon!
It's me.
It isn't very nice to kill me right after I saved you.
Ki...Kikyo....
Wait for me, Goemon!
That's a deceiving technique, Kikyo.
You're so mean, Goemon!
You're so mean!
Goemon.....
I missed you so much!
It's been such a long time.
What are you blushing for?
No.
Your skills have greatly improved.
After leaving you I trained all alone this whole time.
I wanted you to accept me as a skilled grownup.
Look, Goemon!
I'm an adult now.
So they were after the scroll! Just as I thought!
Who would have thought that the dragon...
...that disappeared from this ninja house over 80 years ago, would start to move now.
None but those in our clan should know of it.
Kikyo. Did you just say, ''Just as I thought''?
That's right. I figured out where the dragon is!
A guy in Hong Kong named Chin Chin Chu looked into it and found out.
Truly?!
It isn't just Chin.
There are others after it too.
No matter who they may be...
...if they get in the way, I will cut them down.
New York Coastal Waters
Fujiko, do you read me?
I read you, Lupan.
Ooh, such a sexy voice...
I love you, Fujiko-chan...
Will you go out with me?
If you get the treasure, sure.
OK, OK.
Well, I'll be off then.
4000 meters into the deep blue sea.
Come back safely, Lupan.
There're sharks hanging around all over the place.
This sure isn't the safest place to be.
Oh, here we go.
Data on the Titanic.
After it hit the iceberg...
...it looks like it snapped into 2 pieces as it sunk.
This is it, the room with the treasure.
What the...?
Every 2 hours hot water from the ocean floor blows upward onto it...
Not good, is it.
Come on, it'll all work out.
At maximum speed, 2½ hours until we reach the Titanic.....
Hey, take over the driving. I'm getting tired.
Oh well.
Guess I'll do a crossword puzzle or something.
Lupan!
Don't worry. It's an underwater current.
Lupan? What's going on? Are you alright?
We're passing through an underwater current. It'll be over in a moment.
See.
Do you think this thing'll be okay with the water pressure at 4000 meters down?
It's made of a strong metal alloy.
It could give Goemon's Zantetsuken a run for its money.
Now that you mention it, what do you think he's up to?
Watching another kabuki play, I bet.
Depth at 3700 meters.
Frigid ocean water is almost as cold as ice itself.
We should see it any moment now.
Now this is amazing.
It really does seem like a gigantic coffin for 1547 people.
Alrighty. I'll be back.
Copy that. Be careful!
Any boogie monsters down here?
Lupan! What happened?!
What happened, Lupan?!
Chin's cronies. They're dead.
They're saying for me to come this way.
Lupan!
Yeah. I sure get the feeling there's something here.
Be careful, okay, Lupan?
I know, Fujiko.
Lupan! What happened?!
Lupan!
I'm okay.
Just taking a little bath, that's all.
Jigen.
Do you know the way there?
Yeah.
The treasure room is across the hallway and up 2 flights of stairs.
Roger.
The treasure room's just a little bit further.
You're there, Lupan. The door on the right.
The problematic secret room......
What?
Must've fallen on his head after the impact shock.
The safe's empty.
Huh? What's this?
A Japanese sword.....
He was Japanese?
What's the word, Lupan?
Any holes the dragon could've slipped out of?
Holes?
This is an authentic, genuine secret room.
There's only one thing that I can think of.
1 minute left.
What's got 1 minute left?
Something's gonna happen any time now.
What's this ''something''?
Something happened within the Titanic to remove the dragon figurine...
which shouldn't have moved from this secret room.
It may just have something to do with the blowing of the hot water.
Something to do with the hot water?
Lupan! What's that sound?
And here it is.
Hey, what is it?!
The hot water's blowing upwards.
Lupan! What's happening?!
What's going on, Lupan?!
The room's tilting upward.
Lupan! What's going on?!
Lupan!
What's that?!
Not...not good.....
What's not good?!
My oxygen line's stuck.
I'm ditching the oxygen tanks.
What?!
I found it!
Really?!
Lupan!
He did it.
Wai...wait, wait!
Dragon-chan, wait!
You're not getting away from me!
Hey now!
Got it!
Lupan! Lupan!
Do you read me, Lupan?!
What happened, Jigen?!
Lost contact with Lupan.
That idiot. He said he ditched his oxygen tanks.
What's going to happen?
He has 10 minutes until his reserve tank runs out.
10 minutes?!
Lupan!
Lupan, do you read me?!
Respond, Lupan!
10 minutes left, Lupan!
What's the matter, Lupan-san?
You have 10 minutes left!
8 minutes left.
Lupan! What's happened, Lupan?!
No good...
So stupid...
This is the end...
Jigen. Do you copy, Jigen?
The transmitter's broken?
Just great.
What a spectacular mess this turned out to be.
So now what?
3 minutes left.
Lupan....
No good...
This isn't looking so good...
1 minute left...
Move! Move!
Damn it!
Damn it!!
You stupid...!
I have no choice. I guess I'll have to use it.
I don't know if this suit'll stand up to the explosion or not...
Well...
...it's do or die!
What's that?
Lu...Lupan!
Lupan!
I'm saved...
Lupan! You got the dragon, didn't you?!
Yep. Why don't you get some piping-hot coffee ready for me, Fujiko-chan?
Sure thing!
Just as I would have expected of him, Lupan The 3RD acquired the dragon.
Fire the capture torpedoes!
Yes, sir!
Firing capture torpedoes!
Torpedoes on the way.
Our old friend Chin?
Yeah.
We just have to return the gifts.
High speed surfacing torpedo, fire!
And away we go.
Bad news! The torpedoes are heading this way!
Huh?! What?!
There's a net on the propeller!
Hurry up and get it off!
Yes, sir!
Damn you, Lupan!
Gensai. The next measure's taken care of, right?
Yes.
Lupan. Here you go. Delicious coffee.
Thank you, Fujiko.
I got the treasure.
See!
So this is the treasure?
I will not allow you to have that dragon!
Goemon...
Hand over the dragon, okay?
What on earth is going on, Goemon?
Bringing that cute girl with you...
I'm Kikyo.
Just like Goemon, I came to seal away the treasure
left behind by the ancestors of the Iga House (the dragon).
Seal away, you say? What're you talking about?
No questions, simply hand over that dragon.
Don't be ridiculous,
I went all the way to the bottom of the ocean to go get this treasure,
...I'm not going to just hand it over.
It has no value in your possession.
Is that so?
Don't give it to them, Lupan!
Stop stalling and hand it over!
Otherwise this woman gets it!
Alright, fine.
Lupan!
Why you...!
Wait!
If you will not hand it over, then I will strike you down.
Knock it off, Goemon!
This is...?
Goemon...?
It has nothing to do with you!
Give back the dragon!
Who's that?
The weather today is fine. The weather today is fine.
Testing, testing, 1 , 2, 3...
Lupan!
You're surrounded!
Give yourself up peacefully!
Po...pops....
Don't tell me he chased us all the way out here...
Kikyo.
Right.
We will come to collect the dragon without fail!
Goemon!
Don't worry about Goemon, Lupan's the one we're after.
Fire!!!
Continue firing!!!
Fire more!!!
Alright!
Cease fire!
Lupan...
I know you guys won't kick the bucket with something like that.
Give up and come out!
Otherwise I'll be forced to use the torpedoes!
What the...?
Come on, Lupan!
Do you seriously think you'll get away in something like that?
Lupan! They're all making fun of us!
I really don't think we'll get away in this duck.
Okay then, time to break out the secret weapon...Motor jet on!
Damn you, Lupan!
After them!
Jerk. You should've pressed the button from the very beginning.
Next is this one.
Come back here, Lupan!
What is this?!
Damn you, Lupan!
Using glue to stick us together... You'll pay for this!
That went well.
Won't see him for a while.
Bye, Zeni-chan.
W-w-what the...?!
A submarine...
Chin Chin Chu...
And the fortune-telling hag who should be dead...
Tsume no Gensai is not one person.
You disgust me.
So you finally show your face, Chin Chin-chan.
I knew you would get the dragon if I placed something tasty in front of you, Lupan-san.
I thought you might think so.
But I just happen to like thrilling food.
Eating too much thrill isn't good for your health.
Tell me, Chin Chin...
This dragon which is nothing but a figurine...
Exactly what secret does it hide?
Secrets taste the most thrilling of all, Lupan-san.
Wait a minute, Mister Chin.
Sorry, Lupan.
W-what are you...
I don't want to die in a place like this.
When I die I want to be sure I die in bed.
In bed?
That's good...
Changing sides quickly, as usual.
Better be careful, Chin Chin-chan.
Getting tremendously deceived by a traitorous woman is a horror you can't imagine.
You know what will happen if you betray me, don't you?
All my skin will be torn off and I'll be hung in the front of your Chinese store, right?
I would never, ever betray you.
Then be a good girl and hand over that dragon in your bosom.
Alright. I love you.
Raise your guns!
So there's nothing more that can be done....
I'm so sorry, Lupan. I love you too.
I know, Fujiko...
...I'll be watching over you from heaven.
Yo, Chin Chin-chan.
Do you think I could have a last request?
A last request?
And what would that be?
Oh, just that before I die, I'd like to have a smoke...
Very well.
However...
Not these cigarettes.
I have no idea what tricks they're set up with.
You're certainly very cautious.
You can have one of my cigars instead.
-Thanks. -You're welcome.
Take your time.
Now you've done it.
Later!
Lupan!!!
Lupan!
Lupan! Where are you?!
Lupan is over here! Shoot in the direction of my voice!
Fire!!! Over there! Fire!!!
It's...it's meeee!
It's me! Chin!
Lupan has escaped!
Stop! Cease fire!!!
Bye bye,Fujiko, Chin Chin-chan.
Lupan....
That damn Lupan....
Oh well, I did get the dragon....
Hong Kong
Here he comes, Lupan.
That Rolls Royce.
Nice car. Leave it unattended by the curb....
Let's go.
I just started.
Oo, hot!
Such pretty legs, so smooth...
Coming with me was the correct choice, Fujiko-kun....
I'll treat you much more extravagantly than Lupan ever could.
And...
...I'll let you die in bed just like you want.
How naughty...
What a dirty old man....
But hang in there.
You have to find out about the secret behind that dragon...
-Hey, Mister... -Yes.
What sort of secret does the dragon figurine hold? You can tell me...
The dragon...
A simple treasure.
But all alone, it has no value whatsoever.
I need to get the scroll too.
Scroll?
We can talk all about it later...
Darn you, Lupan... When I find you this time I'll put you behind bars!
What?! Who was that?!
Lu...Lupan!
Just as I thought, you did sneak into Hong Kong.
You're not getting away from me, Lupan.
The wall has high-voltage fences...
And there's a bunch of guys with machine guns and Dobermans hanging around in the garden.
So how are we gonna get inside, Lupan?
What do you think of this?
So-so, I guess.
It's because my facial features are normal to begin with.
I can't really duplicate his messed-up look.
Later. Be back in a bit.
Err, I mean...
I shall return.
What's Lupan up to?
Fools! It is I! Open up!
Mi...Mister Gensai! How on earth did you get outside?
It was simple enough. With ninja techniques it is easily done.
We have no idea when Lupan will sneak in with something like this.
Open the gate at once!
Ye...yes, sir!
That was perfect!
Hey you, waaait!
Pops Zenigata....
What are you doing?
Throw that suspicious man outside at once!
Wa...wait! I am not suspicious!
The suspicious one is Lupan, that man just now!
I am Zenigata of the ICPO.
Stop shooting!!!
Let's go, Kikyo.
Right.
Man, is this house gigantic or what?
Yo, Jigen?
Do you know which room Chin's in?
Straight ahead, about 10 meters.
Then turn left.
Okey doke.
Turning.
No sense of decency.
Goemon.
What are you doing, Kikyo?
Come on, Goemon.
Knock it off, Kikyo.
Did we not come here to take back the dragon?
Don't get so mad, I was just playing around.
Let's go search each room thoroughly.
All of the rooms in this huge house?
Wait, Goemon!
There.
You should be right in front of it now.
This room, huh.
Huh?
What's the matter, Lupan?
Nobody's here.
The signal's...
...coming from somewhere right around there.
Here, eh?
Ouch....
Can't you do it now?
Do what?
The value of that dragon figurine and the scroll.
Please, Mister.....
Very well, Fujiko.
This dragon figurine itself can write a new page in the history of mankind.
The history of mankind?
It's worth more than the Mona Lisa or Venus de Milo?
There's no comparison at all.
With this dragon figurine...
...all the money and wealth the world has to offer will come to me.
All the money and wealth the world has to offer will come to you?
Tell me, why is a dragon like that so amazing?
You know about Goemon's Zantetsuken, don't you?
What would you do if you had a metal that surpassed even the Zantetsuken?
Surpasses the Zantetsuken?
This dragon is both lighter and stronger than the Zantetsuken.
This dragon?
The master craftsman who made the Zantetsuken and who was Goemon's ancestor gave birth to an even better sword.
But...
...because it was so sharp and powerful...
...he sealed away the process for creating the alloy it was made of.
He wrote down the process for making that alloy onto a plate...
...turned it into a dragon figurine, and hid it deep within the Iga Ninja House, and tried to smuggle it into America.
Several years after, there was a man who stole it from the Iga House and tried to smuggle it into America.
But the ship he was on, the Titanic, sank on its way to New York.
I see.
So that's why it shimmered when Goemon's Zantetsuken hit it.
It's the Zantetsuken's half-brother...
So don't you have to change the dragon figurine back to normal before you can find out how the alloy is made?
The real genius part is that he showed we could manipulate it however we wanted.
Surprisingly, he succeeded in making the alloy even lighter and so that it would remember its shape.
A ''Shape Memory Alloy''?
So in other words if you do something special to the dragon...
...it will revert back into its original plate?
Precisely.
What's the method?
It's written down in a scroll in the Iga Mountains.
In the Iga Mountains?
The scroll will soon be in my possession.
All I need is this new alloy to create armor far stronger than iron.
If I build a bomber covered with such armor, nothing could ever shoot it down.
If I said that a rain of bombs would fall on them and they could do nothing about it...
...every country out there would throw their wealth and assets at me to save themselves.
Well, Fujiko?
Would you like to become my woman?
Ri...right, but I'm not quite in the mood yet...
Who cares about that.....
Wait!
Terrible news! It's Lupan...!
What?! Lupan?!
What about him?
He's, uh, right here?
You...!
Lupan!
Well, now I've got the dragon back.
Do you need a receipt? I can leave you one if you do.
I knew you would come to get me!
Just a little later and I would have been...
My, oh my, it must have been frightening...
Being made love to by that dirty old man...
With that look on your face, you're no different than him, Lupan.
You dirty- old- man.
Well, be patient until we leave this place.
Try to hang on.
We can spend all the time we want making love to each other soon enough.
I can't stand listenin' to this.
Geez, this house is like a maze!
The real one!
You! Lupan!
Diiie!
That's dangerous! Suddenly taking big swipes like that.
Quiet!
Lupan!
Goemon!
Goemon! He's the bad guy!
It is the same either way.
Return the dragon.
You all die!
Goemon!
Kikyo!
Lupan!
You!
We're in pretty big trouble.
Lupan!
Stubborn, you are.
However...
...this is the end!
Fujiko...
...My Walther...
The scroll!
Got it!
Kikyo!
Kikyooo!
It's useless!
Kikyo......
Here I come!
Oh, reinforcements!
Zenigata of the ICPO is right here!
Lupan! Hurry!
I know.
Let's go.
Goemon, Kikyo is dead.
Give it up.
Let's go.
Take that, and that, and that!
So long, Chin-chan!
Wait!
Lupaaan!
Retrieve the dragon immediately!
Yes, sir.
Put an end to their lives.
I leave it in your hands.
Bring Fujiko here.
There's still some fun left to be had.
This...
...belongs to you.
My granddad couldn't steal it, so the fact that I could is enough for me.
We don't know how to turn it into its original plate, do we?
It's worthless in our hands.
I wonder if the scroll has digested in the alligators' stomachs yet?
Give a memorial service.
For her sake too.
What are you thinking about?
That girl. The way she acted in Chin's mansion.
Something just bugs me about it.
Who's there?
Wait for me, Goemon!
You're so mean, Goemon!
I'm an adult now.
Goemon!
I missed you.
Kikyo.....
Even though I was with you.....
Who...who is it?!
Goemon.....
Kikyo!!!
You're alive?!!!
Ki...Kikyo...
You.....
Weak around women, as usual.
Now the dragon and scroll are together.
You...!
I really have no use for you anymore.
Hey, what's going on, Goemon?
Kikyo...?!!!
Just as I thought, she was in on it.
Are you alright?
The dragon has been stolen.
That damn Chin!
Lupan!
Not good!
How did it go?
Deciphering of the scroll is complete.
Creating the liquid solution at once.
Where am I?!
Awake, are we?
You two are alive?!!!
This is a weapon manufacturing base.
The liquid solution is done.
Injecting it now.
The dragon's reincarnation is finally at hand.
Begin manufacturing it as soon as possible.
Yes, sir.
Goemon...
I am...fine.
Here we go!
Some rats have snuck in.
Intruders!
In here.
Fujiko!
Goemon. Take care of that chain.
Fujiko.....
W-w-why can't I move...?
The Shadow Paralysis technique.
Didn't we train together, Goemon?
Ki...Kikyo... you have betrayed me!
I never betrayed you.
This was my plan from the very beginning.
Which means you told Chin about the dragon being inside the Titanic, huh?
That's right.
What?!
And the man who stole the dragon from the Iga House
and tried to smuggle it into America...
...he was my great-grandfather.
When I learned of that...
...my wish was to obtain the dragon and force the world into submission.
I found my partner Chin, who had boundless funds...
...and am now finally going to make that a reality!
Lupan!
You're quite tenacious to have not died in that explosion, Lupan-san.
I like explosive blasts and all that.....
But getting killed isn't really my thing.
I see.
Thanks to that, you all shall be witnesses to a great historical event.
Observe.
My newly completed piece of cutting-edge technology.
Unfortunate as it may be, this is the end of Act 1 .
You will not see Act 2.
I wonder.
There might be a huge plot twist at the end of Act 1 .
The world isn't so ideal, Lupan.
The show is over.
Wa...wait, what are you doing...?
Upon inhaling this gas, people become violent and try to kill each other.
May you experience the suffering of Hell.
Darn.
No, you can't...!
Save me, Mister Chin!
I'll do whatever you say!
That's too bad for me, too.
I planned to spend some time with you but I'm behind schedule.
I have to go erase New York from the map with this Stealth now.
Once that happens, the entire world will fall into mass panic and all of mankind will bow before me.
Lupan! The gas!
Don't breathe!
There's no way we can do that!
Why...?
Engine ignition!
Engines 1 and 2, check.
Engines 3 and 4, check.
The target is New York, America.
Lift off!
What is happening?!
Get a control of yourselves. It should wear off soon.
All better.
Well then, shall we go put an unexpected twist to things?
The bombs are set.
Hurry!
Stop right there!
I will not allow you to pass!
No passing? But the bombs.....
Lupan. I will...
Hold on now.
Goemon, you're our final trump card.
I'll take care of this.
So, Gensai! You're the last one, eh?
I am nothing like my shadows up until now!
Here I come, Lupan!
Huh?
That was nothing at all!
Isn't this flight a little overbooked?
This isn't the time to be talking about luxury....
Enemy aircraft sighted.
Orders are to fire upon the enemy target.
Follow my lead.
It'll be in range shortly.
Close the pressure hatches.
Get a target lock on it.
Fire!!!
The enemy aircraft has been successfully shot down.
What's the matter? Respond.
It isn't even scratched!
Stay alert! Here it comes!
Fire!!!
Here it comes!
Damn it!
All ships, advance at once! Destroy the enemy aircraft!
It's vanished! The Pacific Fleet has vanished from the radar!
The Pacific Fleet has been completely wiped out.
The enemy aircraft is currently on the same course with no damage whatsoever!
Mister President, you have an emergency call.
I'm here.
I'm about to get rid of New York. Let's have a nice long chat afterwards.
Wa...wait!
The Stealth is invincible!
Let's start by saying hello.
Wh...what was that?!
It's a biplane.
Lu...Lupan!
Turn.
Doesn't look like he heard your hello missile at all.
Well then, shall we pull out our trump card?
Can you cut that with your Zantetsuken?
I can.
But it's made with an alloy stronger than the Zantetsuken!
With the Zantetsuken and my skill, there is nothing I cannot cut.
Goemon!
Goemon....
I see what Goemon's up to.
He intends to cut this Stealth with his Zantetsuken!
What is he thinking?
He really is weak with women through and through.
I'll show you the way to Hell.
Here we go, Goemon!
Goemon, I can't get you close, the wind it leaves behind is too strong
You need only to pass through a weak part of the wind.
Climb higher once more!
Got it.
This time we'll go in from above.
Noisy fly.
I'll go shoot it down.
Out of the way.
Die, Goemon!
They're shooting...!
Not...not good!
Temporarily dodging.
Goemon!
You alright, Goemon?
See, it's impossible! Let's get out of here right away!
No.
It is my destiny to re-seal the secret to making that alloy.
I shall slice the plane in 2!
Alright, alright.
Here we come, Chin Chin-chan!
Use a heat-seeking missile.
That dirty Chin. Sending out more danger for us.
Goe...Goemon!
Uh oh!
Goemon! Take care of things soon, or we're all gonna be making a big splash!
Isn't this the ocean where the Titanic sank?
I don't want to be shark food!
The next one is it.
Will the Zantetsuken hold up, or....
Goemon, die!
This is it!
He did it!
Impossible!!!
Kikyo!
Kikyooo!
Goemon's technique of continually cutting down the same exact place won in the end.
Fitting that the supposedly invincible Stealth...
...would fall into the ocean where the supposedly unsinkable Titanic sunk.
Kikyo...
...May you rest in peace.
Lupan!
Super Lupan!
So...
...what do you think of mid-air bungee jumping?
Lupan!
You still haven't learned your lesson, have you?
You're under arrest!
Come on, you can't get in the way of people who just saved the world!
Shut up!
You're under arrest!
Let's get outta here!
Righty-o!
Wait! Lupaaaan!
The sound of waves quietly repeats,
...as if the noise of midsummer were a lie.
The pieces of a clasped dream spill through, almost like sand.
The bright days we spent together were all painted by you.
Time will eventually heal my pains, but my memories will not leave you.
Bring him back to me
Still in love with you
