Hunting down the greatest thief of our time: Lupin III.
There's only one rule.
Oh, wow. Looks like you're the center of attention in a troublesome game, Lupin.
Updates
Goemon's got such good posture!! He really is a samurai LOL
That's Lupin III?
The world's greatest thief HA
Wasn't Lupin behind that thing a while back?
Oh, I remember that!
Where's Lupin going?
I hear he has hideouts around the world.
The airport. He's obviously flying.
It's probably a group of 3 men and 1 woman.
Some tickets were purchased 10 minutes ago for 3 men and 1 woman.
They were headed for Dusseldorf on Berlin Air.
I get it.
So everyone in the world is a cop now, huh?
The Lupin Game
I guess this means we're celebrities now, huh?
There they are!
It's the cops!
Lupin's over here!
Whoa, run for it!
I don't care! Get those patrol cars here now!
I'll take responsibility!
Hold on tight!
Right!
Left!
Right!
Left!
Right!
Left!
Wall!
On it!
Left!
Right!
Left!
Right!
Left!
Amy, I need info on everywhere that's off-limits in this airport.
It's Ami.
Hello, Underworld.
Spotter forum. The thread on airports.
Since we're here, I figure we might as well steal a plane!
Outta the way, people!
The runway's through that door.
They just went past me!!
Where'd Lupin go?
Where???
They're heading for the runway!
Zenigata must've called for backup.
What now?
Change of plan.
Amy, what's the quickest way to a parking garage?
Lupin's in the western parking garage.
Is he planning on stealing a car to escape?
Yata, we're heading back to the car!
Inspector, wait!
I'd take the black one.
Hey, let's put bets on which one he'll take.
That's a thief for you.
He's gonna steal a car.
They're in the parking garage.
What about this one, Lupin?
Nah.
Let's take that one.
Not your usual style.
Did you finally started caring about the environment?
Actually, it's the white car.
Where are they gonna go????
What's their endgame?
They left the parking garage.
It's the blue car.
Lupin's inside.
What's with that car?
Lupin? You're not getting away!
Stay where you are!
We've got the airport on lockdown!
If you move now and clear the runway, you'll be playing right into Lupin's hands!
It's Zenigata.
Where does a cop get off breaking the speed limit like that?
I told you we should've jacked the tough one.
The fuzz are pretty badass———
Lupin's done for
Get him, popo!!
Lupin!! Behind you, dude!!
One more ram up the tailpipe oughta do it
Lupin's going down today!
Got you!
Don't mess with me!
Goemon?!
There's nothing but the sea in that direction.
He's trapped like a rat.
No such luck. There's a special kind of aircraft in that hangar.
What an odd-looking vehicle.
It's an AW609.
And those tiltrotors mean it doesn't need a runway.
Impressive work, finding this baby.
All I did was ask around on an internet forum about plane spotting.
Hardly five minutes passed before I got a reply.
No crowds or paparazzi in here, too.
They've cut the damn power.
Display scan of flight manual.
The main engine needs electricity to start.
Electricity?
And we've been cut off from the mains.
Isn't fuel enough to get it in the air?
Most aircraft require a significant external source of electricity to start their engines.
They can't possibly get away now.
Lupin kinda sucks
Game over
Wah, they're gonna get caught LOL
They've gotta be out of options now
That's that, then
Planes need electricity?
Lupin's doomed
It's done
Kind of an anticlimax
A samurai?
Is he bringing a sword to a gunfight?
Impossible! How did he...
He used the battery from the electric car?
Lupin!
He planned this all along!
Hop on, Goemon!
Lupin Game players, I bid you farewell.
Don't think you've gotten away, Lupin.
This is just the first round.
There it is! Look!
We've found the plane Lupin used to escaped!
There's a hundred million people playing the Lupin Game...
That's more than the entire population of France!
They were even talking about it on the radio earlier.
We're dining with a superstar.
You do know they're after you, too, right?
What?!
"Find Daisuke Jigen!"
"As Lupin's lover, wherever he goes, Lupin will be close by."
"Lover"?! Is that supposed to be a joke?!
Hey, don't back away!
Here.
What?
Since we're having hot pot, you should join in the fun, Amy.
It's Ami. And the two most important things in life are speed and data.
From procuring the ingredients to washing the dishes, most meals take three hours.
This, however, takes ten seconds.
It's more nutritionally balanced, as well.
If you break it down in terms of the amount of time it takes to get sustenance,
this is roughly 3,000% more efficient.
Life itself is inefficient, my dear.
What the...
You guys are Japanese!
Eat some of the tofu, would you?! Sheesh.
So what's the plan?
We gonna lie low for a bit?
No chance! I'm not just gonna take this kind of treatment lying down!
Does that mean you have a plan?
You bet. An eye for an eye, as they say.
Lupin's appeared online!
You've verified this?
Be careful you don't get taken in by some amateur's idea of a prank.
No, sir, the thing is...
It's definitely him posting.
The name's Lupin III! The world's greatest master thief!
I heard you guys are looking for me, so I've decided to grace you with my presence!
Excuse me, are you Lupin?
We're on our honeymoon and well... can I shake your hand?
Oh, you bet!
Want to take a picture together, too?
I even do autographs! What's your name?
Robert? Where are you from, Robert?
You mean you don't write it in kanji?
Excuse me, Mr. Samurai.
Would you mind taking a picture of us?
I just need to press this button, yes?
Ah. Thing is, Goemon, that's the dial for changing the shooting mode.
And more importantly, you've got it the wrong way round.
There you go. You've got it now.
Let's go, Inspector!
What's the point?
To arrest him!
If we let him get away with showboating like this,
it'll kill the ICPO's reputation stone dead!
Yata.
Look closer at that picture. That ship's heading for Bwanda.
And the Republic of Bwanda isn't an ICPO member nation.
As long as he stays there, Lupin's out of our jurisdiction.
We made it to Bwanda!
Entering the country.
Bwandan taxis are so colorful!
At the front desk I
At the front desk II
Nice and springy!
He's having a whale of a time~
Looks yummy
What dish is that?
Drinking in the afternoon, I'm jelly~
Where is this?
What a cutie!
This country is full of beauties! Fantastic!
This country is full of beauties!! Fantastic!

starts a newsletter!

Y'know, lately, it seems like my wife's besotted with another man...
It's like this guy is all she thinks about, 24 hours a day!
So here's Lupin, who's supposedly being tracked by the whole world,
spamming people with info on where he is...
That should take all the fun out of trying to track me down,
and in time, people will get bored.
Once everyone's found a new toy, they'll forget all about little old me.
Is it really that simple?
People just don't care that much about other people.
And in the meantime, we'll enjoy ourselves here!
That bastard Lupin... acting like he doesn't have a care in the world!
What do you mean?
If we're talking internet expertise, these guys are the real pros.
I get it.
Time to sink everything we've got left into this.
The Lupin Game seems to have come to an end.
Well, it's not much fun tracking someone down if they tell you where they are.
People only enjoy the chase when they see someone running away...
Wouldn't you say you're the same, Fujiko Mine?
No lingering regrets regarding Lupin III?
I'm not sure what rumors you might've heard,
but Lupin and I are nothing more than professional acquaintances.
Is that the Lupin Game?
It's kinda played out now.
And that guy's always at the top of the rankings...
It'd be nice if something different happened for once.
Even if it did, it'd probably be a hoax.
Who cares, as long as it's fun?
The problem is when it's boring!
Tonight's dinner is wild venison!
It's a shame I'm dining with this bearded old geezer instead of a beautiful lady, though.
Hey, don't drag me into this.
Such frosty treatment! Aren't we supposed to be lovers?
Don't be weird!
We're coworkers, that's all!
Would it have killed you to have said "friends"?
Oh! Here we go!
What is it?
Amy's finished doing the thing I asked her to do.
I uploaded it to Cloud Server 3.
Goodbye.
Hey, now!
I've got a runaway to track down!
Good luck!
D'you know where you're goin', miss?
We can be your guides, if you like.
This will show me the way.
We know some good spots that aren't marked on there.
You should come with us.
Why wouldn't they be on the internet?
Are they brand new?
Are they "members only"? Or maybe illegal?
Shut up! They're—
There are no such spots.
Who said that?!
Run along, old man. They don't allow anyone over 30.
Hey, that's Lupin III!
Lupin? The guy from that internet game?
Don't think you're a big deal just because you're a celeb!
Don't mess with us!
We're not done—
You shouldn't mess with grownups, boys.
I'm Lupin III. And I'm not some entertainer you watch on TV.
I'm a thief.
And that means, sometimes, I steal lives.
If you're not prepared to follow through,
don't even start.
Why'd you come after me?
I should be asking the questions here.
Saying goodbye out of the blue like that...
You spirited me away. I gave you backdoor access to Marco Polo.
Our business is concluded. There's no reason for us to stay together.
I take good care of the things I steal.
That's not true. I saw some of your loot at the villa.
It didn't look like you were taking care of it.
Pretty observant when you wanna be...
Why didn't you leave me at the airport in France?
Well... it just kinda happened that way?
Then, why do you let me stay in your hotel room?
I asked you to do a job for me.
There are others hackers you could've asked.
From what you've said to me,
I can only surmise that you want me to accompany you.
Y'know, inductive reasoning can only throw up theories...
So I dug deeper.
I've been implanted with a tracking device.
Who did that?
Someone who knew my location and came after me.
In other words...
And that's why you wanted to leave?
It was the most expedient and logical thing to do.
Conclusion: you're protecting me. Why?
Well, you know... "Unspoken words are the flowers of silence."
Flowers?
It's a Japanese saying.
Hello, Underworld.
You don't have to look it up.
What I'm trying to say...
Well, it wouldn't be cool if I just came out and said it.
Do you want to have sex with me, Lupin?
No!
That's not it at all...
If I left you by yourself, Marco Polo would come after you.
I just wanna keep you safe until things calm down...
Man, explaining is lame!
I still don't understand.
I don't think I do anymore, either.
Speak of the devil. Looks like Marco Polo have made their move.
Bringing in the hitmen... Pretty simple approach for a bunch of tech wizards.
He posts the hotels and restaurants he visits...
He even says when he's taking a bath, and when he's going to bed.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a target who makes it easier to track them down.
Let's take that truck.
You're... Shinpei Mayama?
I recognize you.
Not your face, but your M.O. is pretty infamous.
The Flea.
This is gonna be tough to handle solo...
Very impressive, Goemon.
You people are with the Union...
Captain Bone and Guardsman?
It's like the assassin all-stars are out tonight.
In other words, it's a betting pool where gamblers bet on when people will die.
It'd be one thing if they were terminally ill,
but there's no sense in trying to guess when someone will die.
There are ways to force the issue, though.
Are you suggesting...
If you were to kill them on the day you'd put your bet on...
it would count as a correct guess.
This website accepts digital currency, which can't be traced.
The people placing the bets and the people guessing are protected by anonymous browsing.
All anyone did was guess what day Lupin would die.
Which is perfectly legal.
No one said anything about killing him.
It's a game totally free of danger, Lupin III.
I've never seen assassins before.
Wow, they're real.
Are we gonna see someone die?
Things are heating up!
Amy, get behind me.
And don't even think about thanking me.
See, I'm protecting you...
...because I love being the kind of guy who does that.
The name's Daisuke Jigen.
We've got the assassin all-stars from all over the world on our tails.
Apparently, there's a new game on the internet, and this one involves killing us.
Vacation Request
I guess the internet can be a real pain if you get on its bad side.
So what now, Lupin? You got a plan?
Next time: "The Killers Gather in the Wasteland."
The Killers Gather in the Wasteland
Might be a good chance to deal with them all at once...
