That Lupan is really staying here.
Don't move, Lupan!
It's me, Inspector.
Fujiko? Where's Lupan? Where is he hiding?
Didn't you see the note on the door? He's traveling.
Traveling?
What does it mean "travelling"?
He's on a trip.
On a trip? Lupan went on a trip? Where did he go?
Hot springs.
What? Hot springs? What for?
To wash away the tiredness of the work.
Wash away the tiredness of the work? Damn!
I search everywhere to arrest him every day.
And he goes to enjoy a hot springs? Unforgivable!
What a great feeling...
This is incredible. We should do it more often.
I really... Oh?
Coming...Coming...Coming...
Help! Help!
I'm Zenigata from ICPO.
I hope the people who hear today's broadcast know that this time we'll discuss...
Today's broadcast is like Shido's spring, Amsterdam's fall and Moscow's winter.
But with this, it's always summer in my heart.
To our vacation! Cheers!
Zantetsuken`s Lament
What's so funny?
It's because you look like someone from medieval time.
Will you eat that?
That's today's dinner. Although it's a bit sad...
Oh, it's so late? I have to make dinner for grandpa.
See you around, Mr. medieval actor.
Mr. medieval actoor!
Huh?
In fact, she's right, Goemon.
Your clothes and speech... Just like someone from medieval times.
But Goemon, let me guess what you're thinking now.
You must be wondering what's the name of that girl.
That girl plunged deep into your heart.
Nothing like that...
Is that so? Then let me tell you.
Her name is Hamanaka Nami...
...2nd year High School student. But Goemon...
...knock any romantic thoughts out of your head.
She came here for a purpose.
How could it be?
Then let me show you this.
What's inside the grass dummies you cut just now?
There's nothing strange.
I've put the steel bars there.
If this sword does not cut metal once in awhile, it will feel bad.
Is that so? Let's see the dummy over there.
Gone?
Right. The steel bar you cut is gone.
Did that girl steal it?
There was no one else beside her here.
What for?
Whatever it is, it'll be interesting.
Here I go!
That hurts! Lupan, you...
Grandpa.
Nami, where were you?
Let me see quickly!
A beautiful cut.
This is made by Goemon's Zantetsuken.
As a blacksmith, I wish to make a good sword.
And my target is to make one better than Goemon's Zantetsuken.
This won't do.
Where I'm wrong?
If only I knew Zantetsuken's secret.
Grandpa...
I'm feeling very happy now.
There's a red rose on the table.
I appreciate the little ladybug on the leaf more than the beauty of the rose.
Cheers to the ladybug!
Where is Mr. Goemon?
Over there.
What will you steal today, missy?
What are you thinking, coming in like that?
You can guess.
It's about Zantetsuken?
Right. Can you lend it to me?
Grandpa wants to make a similar sword.
Give it up! Nobody can have this sword.
Mr. Goemon, why is your voice so weird?
No... I just have... I have a slight cold.
But...
...Ms. Nami.....
That hurts.
I just wanted to play rock-scissors-paper in the bed.
I've got it! I've got it, Nami! The secret of Zantetsuken.
I know Goemon's Zantetsuken's secret, Nami.
The snow... the snow melted.
Goemon's body is covered by snow...
...but Zantetsuken isn't.
That's why Zantetsuken should have a different temperature.
Nami, help me check Zantetsuken's temperature.
All right, grandpa.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Goemon, let me tell you.
Your friend Mr. Lupan...
Last night Mr. Lupan and me...
You know? Lupan has a cute mole on his thigh.
That's a lie!
Hot!
Oh.Goemon, what is it at this time?
I shall kill you!
What? What? What?
That's dangerous... That's dangerous...
A mole on the thigh...
A mole on my thigh? What's going on?
None.
That girl was lying.
That girl?
A mole on my thigh?
Nami, are you ready?
Ready, grandpa.
How is it, Nami?
Success, grandpa!
The temperature didn't change even after the dipping in water.
And it's the same as Mr. Goemon's Zantetsuken.
Finally! Then let's try it!
Goemon, I wish a duel with you.
Give it up! You can't beat my Zantetsuken.
Nonsense!
Mr. Goemon...
You must be happy.
Playing a fool of Grandpa...
Grandpa...
I must fulfil my Grandpa's dreams.
This still won't do?
Grandpa...
A high fever.
Grandpa, forget it.
Take a rest.
It's all right.
I won't die until I beat Goemon's Zantetsuken.
Get back! Don't stop me!
Grandpa...
This is fearsome. Goemon should be prepared to lose now.
Mr. medieval actor.
I came to apologize.
I said bad things. I'm sorry.
Mr. Goemon.
If he stakes...
If grandpa stakes his life, would you let him win?
Don't say more.
No matter what...
...I can't let your Grandpa win.
It won!
Grandpa's sword won!
My Zantetsuken...
It's impossible...
I secretly slipped in grandpa's sword last night.
See now, Goemon?
Grandpa!
Zantetsuken ...
...lost
Zantetsuken...
Grandpa!
Hang in there, grandpa!
Nami...
...we did it!
The sword I made beat Zantetsuken.
I have no regrets now.
I'm happy...
Grandpa!
Grandpaaaaa!
You did this, didn't you?
Right.
Last night I swapped the old man's sword with yours.
What you used was the old man's katana.
That sword the old man used was your Zantetsuken.
That was needless.
You think so?
No...
Goemon, you actually like what I did, right?
Don't worry. I'll switch it back soon.
Don't waste time. Fix it quick.
Why you are giving me this?
Before Zantetsuken comes back you'll be lonely.
Use it as a replacement until then.
There's a killer after me with diamonds at stake,
his name is Tiger, and he's enigmatic.
It's the first time I've met someone like him.
