The infamous bandit Harimao hid a treasure, and to retrieve it, Lupin and the gang must gather three lost statues. When the Nazi-like group Neo-Himmel make a run for the goods, Lupin reluctantly partners with the aging "double-O" MI-6 agent Sir Archer and his granddaughter Diana to gather the statues first. Can this unorthodox team bond well enough to see this mission through?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Kiyoshi Kobayashi's final performance as Jigen after 26 years; he only returned for brief archive footage before his 2022 death.
Neo-Himmel's design directly references lingering Japanese pop-culture fascination with Nazi aesthetics filtered through 'cool villain' tropes common in 90s anime.
