Eep!

There he is!

He's outside!

Over there!

You're not getting away!

Hm?!

Aah! Daisuke Jigen!

Breakout successful! Thanks for your help!

Lupin!

Good work!

Buckle up.

I know.

Whoaaa!

Her lips are red roses

As she begs for my gentle embrace

My prize reflects deep in my eyes

As I ask in loneliness if we have love

Men have their own world

Like a single shooting star racing across the sky

Exposing my lonely smile to the setting sun

As I cry with my back turned - that is the aesthetics of men

Men have their own world

Like a vicious flash of lightning sweeping away the wind

My body melts into the darkness of the city

As I whistle away - that is the aesthetics of men

NO ENTRY

Whoaaa!

Damnit!

Sir.

Sir.

Inspector Zenigata.

Lupin!

It's me, sir! Goro Yatagarasu!

Yata?

Are you okay?

You were having a nightmare...

It's nothing. Just an old dream.

This time, I came to this country

not to keep him in a prison...

But to keep him away from one.

Prison of the Past

In other news...

Governments worldwide are in an uproar over a thief.

An unprecedented death sentence

was handed down to international criminal Hector Corbett Finnegan,

who was arrested 12 years prior.

His execution has been formally announced.

Finnegan is currently incarcerated in El Guille Prison

in the independent kingdom of Dorrente.

His execution is scheduled to be carried out in El Guille Prison.

Finnegan has stolen treasures from politicians around the world

to give to the poor.

People worldwide came to know him as a modern-day chivalrous thief.

He also attracted a following among criminals

whose lives were saved by him.

He is said to be a match for Lupin the Third,

the world-famous master thief.

Hmm...

Is that what they said?

Hm?

I got the feeling

old man Zenigata's here now.

Yes.

Same.

A chivalrous thief...

Hey, I bought a guidebook from that place.

Take the wheel.

Huh?

Then read it for me.

Pull over.

Featuring the Misericordia Church.

Constructed to mourn Fio, the Prince of Dorrente,

who died of illness several years ago.

Prince Fio, huh?

Pity, he was so young.

Good-looking guy, too.

There's a popular hymn about their rose garden and beautiful sisters.

Let's go there later!

You look grumpy, Goemon.

Here!

Hey!

"See all sorts of local Dorrente specialties at the seaside festival

with the unusual shape of El Guille Prison in the background,

ending with a fireworks show that will leave any traveler awestruck!"

...is what it says.

Sounds fun!

Whoa, sword!

What're you doing, Goemon?!

I am not here to sightsee.

Or do you have cause for such merriment?

He's asking if you're getting tangled up with Fujiko again, Lupin.

Whoa, watch it! Ow! Hot hot hot!

The heat, the dust, not to mention the smoke is intolerable.

Huh?

What's with you, Goemon?

I'm dead serious about this.

Though this so-called master thief is nowhere near my level,

Hector Corbett Finnegan has a pile of treasures stashed away.

It'd be a waste if he got executed and ended up being a ghost.

So I, the great Lupin,

shall easily break him out and get the location of the treasure.

Basically, our job this time is to steal away his death penalty.

His execution draws nigh.

How will you deal with others who are seeking his treasure?

Whaaat, are you joking?

Who else would come up with this plan?

What truly vexes me is your lax demeanor!

Eh?

Jigen! Is that you?

It is you, Jigen!

It's me, Joe! Dynamite Joe!

And is that your partner Lupin the Third next to ya?

And in the rear...the samurai master Goemon.

Uh... My little buddy Jigen's been a huge help.

What was your name, sir? Dynamite...?

Joe. A petty thief.

Old mercenary partner of mine.

Reckoned you'd be here, too.

The guy who saved our asses is now gonna bite the dust.

So now we gotta repay the favor!

Honor among thieves, how old-fashioned is that?

So here I am, storming in.

You too, huh?

Hmph.

It's not just us.

Word is that a bunch of guys from all over the world

are coming to Dorrente to break Finnegan out.

But the first and only guy who'll do the honors is yours truly,

Dynamite Joe!

Jigen, I ain't losin' to you.

Well baby, smell ya later!

Jerk! What was that for?

Small country, but the scenery is top-notch.

What is it, Goemon?

This is personal not to Lupin but to you, Jigen.

I shall not disparage your sense of honor.

But if you wished to repay a debt,

why did you not say so at the onset?

Doesn't matter. That's just a coincidence.

It's all ancient history.

Lupin is frivolous, Jigen is ensnared by personal feelings.

No one is taking this seriously.

Lemme ask you then.

Why did you tag along with us?

To work, naturally.

Oh really? I think it's because of your oh-so-chivalrous ancestor

that you're just swooning over Finnegan.

You're just a sap.

You insult me!

Bring it.

Now don't fight.

And Jigen, stop being so prickly and secretive.

Oops.

Fujiko? Yeah, yeah, we're here.

Exactly where you told us to go.

I'll get you the finest treasure. Looking forward to it.

Hm?

Oh... Line got cut off. Heh.

Huff...

This exotic food called "sand-uwich"...

It is stale.

These slices of meat, these Western pickles, this mustard...

The flavors are gone, as if they are leftovers.

You're the one who threw it aside.

Like us, perhaps they have been together for too long.

Lupin, he's comparing you to the bacon.

Does that mean you're the pickles?

Hmph!

How impolite.

Then I am the mustard!

Hmph!

Hey, it's the night of the festival!

Now serving the late Prince Fio's favorite fried bread. It's delicious!

Also got jerk chicken!

Our diamonds and gold come directly from the royal palace.

Just like the ones Prince Fio wore when he was alive.

Hey there.

Prince Fio's alive, I tell ya! Really!

Y'know hoss, I'm the Prince.

Really!

Eh?

Ugh...

Thank ye!

Dinner's here.

Here. Bone-in deep-fried chicken for three.

The city is bustling. That works in our favor.

You know, the economy here's booming.

It's been like that for years.

After exhausting their gold and diamond mines

they were impoverished for a long while.

Recently they discovered some new mine or other.

What is this?
