Let's guess what date the target, Lupin III, will die
All winning bids will share a pot of 50 mill in Bitmoney
When do you think Lupin III will die?
I've got a present for you, Lupin.
Your first one from me in four years.
If anyone's gonna kill you, it should be me.
Zenigata's Pride and the Desert Dust
Who's the babe?
Time for a plot twist!
She's smokin' hot!!!!
Lupin's really screwed now
And in walks the ex!
Wow, she's beautiful!!
Who is she?
All hell's about to break loose
Ready to receive your final present?
Nah, I think I'll pass.
Go and return it.
I wouldn't bother reaching for whatever you've got in your hairpiece.
I'll count down to your gift, Lupin.
Lupin!
Zenigata?!
Pops?!
Get in! You, too, young lady!
That was sudden
Whoa now
Just when things were getting good~
From outta nowhere?
Who??
What the bejesus?!
Way to spoil the mood
That's Inspector Zenigata. He's ICPO.
Who's this dweeb?
What the hell?
Let's go, Amy.
Lupin!
Pops, not that I don't appreciate the sweet rescue,
but you know you can't arrest me here, right?
I realize that!
So I'm taking you across the border, where I can arrest you!
Gotta love that work ethic...
You just had to get in the way, didn't you, Zenigata?
Nice to see you again, Jigen.
Didn't figure you'd show up to try and cash in on Lupin, too.
Something wrong with that?
Women can be damn scary.
You think so? I can think of something even scarier.
And what's that?
Men who are staunchly loyal to their friends.
Even Fujiko's after you now.
Was that a lover's tiff?
Not at all.
There's nothing between me and her now.
After you used to go around, drooling over her, and calling her "Fujicakes"?
That's ancient history.
All she is to me now is a competitor in this biz, and a dangerous one at that.
The Bwandan military?
I'm Zenigata with the ICPO!
I want to speak to your commanding officer!
What in the world?!
I wouldn't bother, Pops!
The guys who run this country are practically mobsters themselves.
Damn it all! No wonder they don't want ICPO membership!
Chasing a bounty like this...
As a fellow public servant, I'm outraged!
Get ready to jump clear.
Now it's getting good! LOL
I thought he was a goner, for sure
Lupin sure is hard to kill~
What the hell? Lupin's not dead
And the game continues
Who cares? It's entertaining
Nice try, Lupin.
But the bounty on the assassination site doesn't expire till you're six feet under.
We'll never run out of hitmen.
I've confirmed that new killers have entered the country
He can either stay there and die,
or cross the border and get nailed by the pigs.
Either way, Lupin's done for.
I guess we've finally shaken our pursuers.
Can't be easy to spot us here in the bush.
There are no paths in here, though.
No need to fret, miss.
Look there!
In the southern hemisphere, the sun travels in a northern arc!
Which means walking in the opposite direction will take us south!
Hello, Underworld.
Connect using the Ponion proxy.
What's the shortest route to the border?
This is a AR Map created by a company called Shake Hands.
Gotta love all these modern conveniences, huh?
By the way, if you're looking for potable water...
What's the meaning of this?
For the ICPO to be seen aiding a wanted criminal...
Not to mention, it was broadcast globally.
This is bad.
All Inspector Zenigata has done is apprehend a criminal.
The public won't see it that way.
We'll have to open disciplinary proceedings when he gets back.
We must keep up appearances.
Run an object search.
Cross-reference with edible flora.
Well, look at you, Little Miss Botany.
Anyone with an internet connection can be a scientist.
As long as you know what to search for.
So you were a shut-in for 15 years?
I wasn't a shut-in.
I just had no reason to go outside.
So what's your take on the outside world?
It's inconvenient.
Communication takes too long.
That's what bothers you?
There are countless threats to your life,
it's hot, and it's dirty.
The food's bad, too.
That's because you're with this guy!
Miss, you should be attending school.
Don't worry your pretty little head. This matter with Marco Polo...
will all go away once we've got you into the ICPO's witness protection program.
We'll keep you safe and sound!
I see no reason to go to school.
I can find any information I want on the internet,
and when it comes to basic logic exercises, like math problems,
I'm confident that I'm already above average.
I bet.
But you can make friends there.
I have plenty of friends on the internet.
From all over the world.
Where gender, age and race don't matter.
I can't imagine a space as confined as a school offering even a fraction of that diversity.
Well, now!
You've got the wrong end of the stick, miss.
Love and friendship aren't things you can measure in purely logical terms.
Do you consider Lupin a friend?
Have your irrational actions to help us been your idea of friendship?
Hmph. Of course not!
How could I ever be friends with a lying, law-breaking, womanizing scoundrel?!
Okay, now tell me how you really feel...
Oh, I get it.
You do?
Don't worry. I believe that all forms of love are valid.
You've got it all wrong! I only came out here because Lupin was...
Well, y'know...
Two lovers on opposite sides of the law... Sounds like something out of a story.
That's not it at all!
I love ya, Pops!
Shut your trap, you monkey-faced idiot!
Forgive me, darling! I never realized you had feelings for me!
I will shoot you, I swear!
Don't wave that scary thing around like that!
But if you wanna point your other piece at me... The one in your pants...
What are you even saying, you imbecile?!
They're certainly enjoying themselves...
Ooh, such thick sideburns...
Enough! Stop now!
You'll pay for this, Lupin!
It's going to be all desert for a while.
If we make a beeline for the border, it's a 50 km trek.
The temperature at this time of year is around 40°C...
We should be able to walk it.
Isn't this your first time in a desert?
I've got a good idea of the broader picture.
I've read the equivalent of 83 books on desert environments.
Well, aren't you studious?
Only the abridged versions, though.
The kind compiled when an AI summarizes...
the most important parts through machine learning.
After wandering through the desert for a day, it was like I was on a different planet.
In time, I felt I had stopped being an Earthling altogether,
and was now a denizen of a desert world,
and the intense sun began to feel pleasant on my skin instead of—
Stop!
You done already? What about your 84th book?
It's fiction. I wanted non-fiction.
And there's nothing pleasant about this situation.
Well, it takes all sorts.
Maybe the guy who wrote it was a masochist.
What would you write about the desert, then?
It's the worst!
Absolute garbage! A wasteland!
Just a blinding, bone-dry hellhole!
Maybe we... should've waited... for nightfall...
This is still better than the military catching up with us.
Amy!
If anything happens to me...
...can you look after the girl?
I refuse to believe anything could happen to you.
But consider it done.
I appreciate it, Pops.
Imagine if they just died in the desert
There's no way they're stupid enough to go into the desert lol
This is gonna stay boring if they can't find them
Haven't they found Lupin yet?
They probably went into the desert
No way. It's practically suicide
I guess even Drone Fighter can't find them now
Yeah, and he's at the top of the rankings
You've gotta be kidding me, Lupin.
You think you can just wander off and die where no one can see?
What fun would that be?
Look, Lupin, a camel!
You've got it all wrong, Pops...
It's a bunch of beautiful dark-skinned babes!
You awake now, Amy?
The sun's almost down... It'll cool down.
Windmill? That means...
...water!
Quit squirming!
Water...
Water. Water!
Don't gulp it down so fast.
The cold water will upset your stomach.
Once we're through this bit, we'll be at the border.
And you finally get to arrest me, huh?
Lupin. Come peacefully.
Your face is comical enough without the need for jokes, Pops.
Once you're in custody, these assassins will have a harder time getting to you!
Thanks, Pops. But y'know...
I wouldn't be Lupin if I did that.
There, there!
Looks like they didn't get away~
Drone Fighter rules!!!!!
Found ya, found ya, found ya
There!
GJ Drone Fighter
Don't let them escape!
It's Lupin!!
Good job finding 'em
Drone Fighter is GOAT
They're nearly at the border
Hey, hitgoons, Lupin's almost in the clear!
Take care of it before they cross the border.
If you take out Lupin, I'll give you a portion of the winnings.
Leave it to us, sir!
There's nowhere to hide in the desert.
That money's as good as ours!
And here they come.
Get in position!
It's the same helicopter as last time...
But this time, it's carrying missiles!
What?!
Lupin! Zenigata!
Did that get them?
There's still one more target!
Lupin! Zenigata!
Hunting people is more exciting than I thought it would be.
Cowards! Shooting at us like that!
Amy!
Stop playing. Time you finished the job.
If you insist.
What?!
Oh, no! The rotors!
She did it!
Amy! You okay?!
I'm alive.
Look. That fence marks the border.
Once we're past that, I guess we're back to playing hide and seek.
Inspector Zenigata!
Well, since you're offering, I'll bum a ride to the next town.
I've got the girl with me, after all.
No need to cut our journey short.
I can give you a lift all the way to a prison cell.
Oh, I couldn't possibly impose!
Get down!
A sniper?
An ambush? All the way out here?
Pops, keep Amy safe.
Lupin!
Get going! I'll catch up!
We need to go. He won't try and escape until you're safe.
Is he an idiot?
You mean you didn't know?
In my country, "Lupin" is synonymous with "idiot."
It's a duo
They knew just where to camp
They've got ghillie suits on. Are they military?
Are they still the right side of the border?
There's Lupin! He's right over there, look! LOL
It's Lupin! Over there!
Lots of moving camera shots today
It's like a TV show
Like the final episode, you mean?
Look, over there!
That remote control's the same model as the drone. He must be Drone Fighter
Oh boy
Drone Fighter's a hitman?
Where Jigen at?
It's like the series finale! Talk about hype
Just like I predicted
Party time! Party time!
Marmo~
Is this an anime?!
Idiot
Lupin loses
The hype is gettin' hyped up
Save them!
Hey, I know that guy!
Awesome! The real hero has arrived!!
Idiot
It's the final curtain for Lupin
A hitman?!
AHH!
Drone Fighter's amazing! Wow!
I joined the stream late...
Get in the car!
Are you all right, Inspector?
Start a fire.
We need enough smoke to block the sniper's line of sight!
Quickly!
Yes, sir!
Kill me if you can, jerk!
But Lupin's immortal—
Talk about a sore loser!
Little early to celebrate, isn't it?
Don't get sloppy now, Mr. Drone Fighter
Little early to celebrate, isn't it?
Don't get sloppy now, Mr. Drone Fighter!
Get over here, Lupin!
What's with the smoke? Must be the inspector Mind your own business! That smoke is crossing the border illegally! Get in closer
You handle this, Yata!
Inspector!
You can't kill him!
I'm the one who's gonna collar Lupin!
Stay back, Pops!
I will arrest you!
There he is
Go for it, Fighter!
Look out Lupin!
Now's your chance!
There!
SHOOT HIIIIM!
GOOOO
SHOOOT!
Ad break, go!
Huh?
Huuuuuuuh?
Huh? He's dead?
What happened!?
Lupiiiin!
Wha ROFL
That's it?
For real!?
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
K then
mmmyep
aauughhh
That's blood, isn't it?
No way
Impossible LOL
Awesome LOL
Hm?
Lupin!
Rest in Peace Lupin III
Number of participants who guessed 5/10: 1 Player
This person will receive all of the prize money.
The Lupin Death Wager Site will be shut down.
Zenigata here.
Lupin is dead.
The site's been shut down, and the Lupin Game has come to a close.
I've been taken off the case, and my actions on it are being scrutinized...
As if I'd ever fall for that bunch of baloney!
You can try and trick me, but it's not gonna work!
This is just a scheme to get the drop on them, isn't it?!
You'd better tell me it is, Lupin!
A Crook's Resolve
Next time: A Crook's Resolve.
Even in death, Lupin is still Lupin!
