That Lupin Lately, he's been going at it all over town.
Just you wait, I won't let you escape this time.
It's almost 12 o' clock, isn't it? It's Lupin! He's trapped like a mouse! Get him! He should be helpless now.
Lupin, you It's time to put an end to all this trouble you're causing! Fire! Don't tell me how tough he is, that's only to be expected of Lupin the Thief! - Cut the rope! - Yes, Sir! This is the end of Lupin.
A doll! Damn it, using my name like this Don't mess with me! It's noteworthy that he uses the same letter warning system that I do, though.
Just who the hell is he? I guess it isn't that surprising that Pops Zenigata mistook him for me.
Damn! That Lupin Making a fool of me! Inspector, we found some mandarins on the scene of Lupin's escape.
What? Moron! Throw this kind of junk Mandarins? "Mandarins" My hands are going numb Lupin Inspector! Ah! Did you find out something? These mandarins were grown around Wakamatsu Bay.
Wakamatsu Bay? Jimbei, we've got a welcoming party.
Jimbei, Maruke, thank you for all your hard work.
How did it go? Grandma, Grampa Rest your eyes on this beauty.
How splendid! What the? What's that rope? A rope? When did that? What, an oil drum? What's this? I guess we've arrived.
Why, hello, everyone! Sorry for suddenly dropping in You bastard, who are you?! Where did you come from?! N-no, I'm not Start talking, damn you! Who are you? Well, hello there, everyone! My name is Lup I mean Daisuke Ishikawa, an ordinary petty thief What are you doing all the way out here? Well, I could see right away that you folks are the verandas, I mean the veterans of the veterans of this occupation and I thought to myself, "wouldn't it be great if they let me join, too?" Shut up! Why, you you sure know quite a bit for an ordinary petty thief.
Now, then, stick 'em up! Uh, all right Stop it, you guys.
Grandma, he's a spy! We have to maintain our cover! That's right! He's probably a cop! Let's do away with him before they find us out! Yeah! Do it! H-hey! W-w-w-wait a minute! S-save me! Lo-look, old Man, I'm not a spy, so please! Now, just wait a minute.
I don't mind killing him, but there's no need to rush.
This man doesn't strike me as a cop.
That's my village elder! Now, then It is true that this island is an island of thieves.
We've been living like this for hundreds of years, since the age of the pirates, relying only on stealing to survive.
Now, listen good.
The last 100 years have been years of hardships for the people of this island.
If you wish to join us how about letting us test you a bit first? To see if you can survive on this island.
Test? This should prove amusing.
You still die, and we get to enjoy ourselves, fine with me.
Well? Wanna give it a go, hot shot? It's a pretty rough game, though.
Ga game? "The Fall of the Weak".
The dreadful game that has taken the lives of many.
A thief's most important quality is his reflexes, right? Huh? O-oh, I-I guh-guess so There are no rules to this game.
As long as you don't die, that's good enough.
If those came falling on you, what would you do? Ru-run Where to? Where to? Down What?! I'm supposed to run down there?! Well, let's see you do some running, then.
If you can't make it to the plaza down there, you're dead.
Aagh, I say, aaagh! You're pretty tough, aren't ya? He finally knocked himself out.
In any case, he did make it through, so I suppose we don't have to kill him.
Still, he's no ordinary rat, Grandpa! In any case, let's throw him in a cell for now.
Hey, Maruke! Right! See to his wounds, too, would you? Nah, this bastard won't die from something this minor! Just let him be! That was horrible, I didn't know there were games that rough, for crying out loud Well, then, it's easy enough to break out of a cheap cell like this but what method should I use? I guess this will do the trick.
I see, it is a splendid crown.
It is so beautiful! Still, it really was careless to let that guy follow us.
Don't worry about it, he's not going anywhere for a while.
Hey, did you hear something just now? Yeah Oh, no! Good grief, let's get him down.
You guys rest for a while.
"Do not let your guard down" has always been one of our iron rules.
Isn't that right, Jimbei? When the job is going well, one tends to overlook the basics.
What number was that rule? Number 15.
Number 9 warns you against losing yourself in your own skill, yet you! Are you referring to the falling rocks incident? It's true that the biggest taboo for a thief is counting on luck.
It's not like I was playing around with my skills, Grandma! Your proud expression betrays your sentiment.
Make sure you don't forget rule number 9! That book is the reason we haven't all died off yet.
Using the variety of techniques detailed in the book has enabled us to survive.
- The techniques aren't the only things of importance in the book, although you young ones seem to think so - What? A rule book? the last rule, number 39, which details how a thief should act, is the most important! They are talking about the book Grandpa wrote! That is why we train so rigorously on this island.
Arsene Lupin was the kind of guy you just had to admire.
I was a mere child when I met him, but I remember it so well! So that's it.
They've been stealing things according to Grandpa's instructions.
I have to get that book back, no matter what.
We've got trouble! The cops are here! Cops? So, after all, that guy Damn! - Tell all the islanders immediately! - Yes! Now! Heave-ho! They sure are well prepared, aren't they? The cops are here! Well, hello there, Mr.
Patrolman.
What brings you here? Well, this gentleman here is Inspector Zenigata, from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police.
Inspector Zenigata, what's this about? Well, the fact of the matter is that I'm after Lupin the Third, and his trail led me to this area.
Lupin the Third?! I've heard the name.
Isn't he the one that's always making a fool out of the police force? I bet he's a really good looking guy, too! I wish I'd get a chance to have an eyeful! Well, if you want to see him, take a look.
That that guy is! You know him?! Oh, no, never seen him! It's just that we rarely get to see photographs around here.
It just caught us by surprise.
Something smells fishy here.
I'm going to have to search the village! I see.
Go ahead and look around as much as you want.
Phew-yuk! You wouldn't think that stupid-looking a guy could actually be Lupin the Third! He has probably come here to take revenge on us.
Don't worry.
We'll bide our time until the cops leave and then take care of him.
We haven't found Lupin yet.
However, he's bound to be somewhere on the island! I'll find him no matter what.
In any case, it's already pretty late.
I'll have to spend the night here.
Why, by all means.
We'll gladly cooperate with the police.
Maruke, show the gentleman to his cabin.
You can head back now.
Will you be all right by yourself? Don't worry.
If anything happens, I'll contact you.
See you later.
Make yourself at home, then.
I'll just have to endure this for the night.
That's right.
We haven't been able to locate Lupin yet.
Take my word for it, though.
Lupin is definitely on this island.
Yeah, there's no mistaking it! Right.
Roger! Hi there, Inspector.
That voice is! "Discover Japan, see the Island of Thieves" That sound about right? Really, Inspector Zenigata, you sure got a cozy job, don't ya? Lupin! Where are you? Show yourself! Don't be so hasty, now, Pops.
Before we get to you arresting me, I've got something I need you to see.
So just calm down! Damn it, if you're trying to make a fool out of me again! If you wanna catch me, look up at the ceiling.
There's a rope up there.
Grab that rope and pull it with all you've got! Here goes nothing! Wha?! That's! It's the stolen crown! That painting, that watch! Just what's going on here? See all these stolen goods? It's the people of this island that stole all this, using my name.
Lupin! You! Surprised, Zenigata? However, this is all I wanted you to see.
Wait! Lupin! Pops Zenigata, don't think badly of me.
I must settle my own debts myself.
My honor as a thief demands it.
Everyone gather around! Gather around! You sure are being noisy, this early in the morning, too Don't complain, you! Listen up! I am Inspector Zenigata of Metropolitan Police! There should be a book written by Arsene Lupin here.
Don't try to deny this, it's been investigated! Bring that book to me! What an outlandish claim! We don't have anything like that! Say what? You liar! Lupin is after that book, too.
Still, that's odd How would you know all this? From the warning letter Lupin the Third sent! "I'll be taking the book written by Arsene Lupin, kept on this island, by the end of the day.
"Yours truly, Lupin the Third.
"Jimbei, my Grandpa's honor demands I exact revenge on the likes of you.
" Damn it! He has escaped! Well, are you cooperating? If you cooperate, I'll let you go this time.
A throughout inspection would reveal a lot of interesting stuff, now wouldn't it? I guess it can't be helped.
The book is in that shrine over there.
What? In the shrine? So that's where it was, damn it Right, folks.
I appreciate your cooperation.
Now then, in order to catch Lupin, we'll need to hide in the nearby bushes.
Come on, move it.
Got it? Don't take your eyes off the shrine no matter what! With all the islanders keeping guard, even Lupin won't be able to make a move easily.
That damn Lupin is making a fool out of me He did it! It was Lupin! Don't mess with me, you bastard! I'll make you pay for this! What? The sound of an engine? The motor boats! Everybody, after him! Don't let him escape! Piece of cake.
Grandpa, no matter what kind of a technique you use, it all comes down to what's up here, right? H-hey! Damn it! It's remote controlled! He tricked us! Damn, that Zenigata well played.
Jimbei! Damn it! I've finally got you cornered, Lupin the Third.
To make us fall for a trick like that You're Arsene Lupin's grandson, alright.
I won't fall for your tricks again, though.
Now, the final showdown! Everyone drop your weapons! You are surrounded! See ya Eh? Wait, Lupin! Come down! I'll remember this! Damn you, Lupin! I'm going to catch you next week! And with that, it's bye-bye Oops! Well for next week.
Rie, the only daughter of Makita who was once the partner of my father, Lupin the Second has been kidnapped by someone.
I thought I'd pay back my debts and go rescue her but this girl is actually even rowdier than the kidnappers.
Oh what the heck.
I don't know what's gonna happen now.
Next week: "Rescue the Rowdy Girl!" You've got the channel set.
Plough through the red waves that wind around my feet The machine screams It's like a crazy morning light Walther P-38 in this hand The things that I hold in my hand they all disappear It's fate Lupin the Third
