Plot

After another daring heist, Lupin finds himself stolen; he is kidnapped by the crime lord Malchovich, and is forced to agree to steal the infamous ‘Bull’s Eye’ jewel – or Fujiko will be killed by a bomb strapped around her neck. However, Lupin’s progress is hindered by a young woman named Becky, who is out to prove herself by outdoing him in the field of thievery. She turns out to be the daughter of Cat, Lupin’s first partner in crime…and her father’s identity is anyone’s guess.

Eventually, it’s revealed that the Malchovich and company have set everything up to acquire the fabled “Lupin Collection” – the valuables Lupin has amassed during his long and successful career. With a couple of highly skilled warriors in his employ, Malchovich is determined to get rid of Lupin once and for all. But there are of course a couple of surprises awaiting for both sides of the conflict…
