About Lupin the 3rd: The Last Job

Meet Lupin the 3rd: The Last Job (ルパン三世 The Last Job), an adventure and comedy anime by TMS Entertainment (2010). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: Has the intrepid Inspector Zenigata bitten the final bullet? In the chaos following Lupin’s heist of a Buddha avatar statuette, Inspector Zenigata is mortally wounded in pursuit of the master thief.

Another thread: Lupin’s not to blame; the maniacal supervillain Morgana intervened, swiping the Buddha figure, and sending “Pops” to his fate. Morgana is after the age-old ability of the Fuma called Fujin, with the beautiful ninja Asuka also racing to find the secret to Fujin, but Fujiko Mine keeps reaching her hand into the pie and causing even more complications. What is Fujin, and who will wield its concealed strength?

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Arsène Lupin III (Kanichi Kurita) and Daisuke Jigen (Kiyoshi Kobayashi) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
