Synopsis

Word is out that the "Hemingway Papers", the newly discovered last novel by the great author, tells the hiding place of a buried treasure on a desolate Mediterranean island. Lupin sneaks onto the island where, instead of treasure-hunting, he finds himself embroiled in a violent struggle for power. To Lupin's surprise, his old buddies Jigen and Goemon are also in the fight for their own reasons. Marcus the Merchant of Death also lands on the island accompanied by Fujiko, Lupin's greatest weakness, and followed by the police inspector, who is forever on Lupin's tail.

This special is sort of an interesting ones of the ones I've seen, its definitely got a lot of the Lupin special-tisms that are a part of every special. Jigem having some mysterious connection to the plot from his past, Fujiko being the girl of one of the bad guys. Alrhough not everything here is super formulatic

First Goemon isn't here randomly for no reason, he has some reason to be here instead of just showing up. He wants to cut up this box the papers are in. Why can't he cut it? Its never explained and only really exists so they can't get the papers ...

Fujiko is being a traitorous seductress as usual. But atleast its towards the bad guys and not her friends.
Jigen wants revenge.
Goemon wants to prove the power of his sword.
Zenigata wants to capture Lupin. Unfortunately he doesnt get to do anything in this movie other than just be there.

And in the middle of it all are 2 military forces fighting for power.

Another wacky zappy Lupin adventure where everything is really serious and deep rooted in really serious stuff, but Lupin and the gang come and mess up everything for everyone!

You know how we get introduced to a past relation to Jigen the person wants to kill him and he's strangely cool about it sometimes? It's one of those. You know how Goemon can randomly show up for any reason, and rarely is it about a job? It's not one of those. Goemon has actually been hired by the side opposing the group that hired Jigen. They handling it in very convincing ways, and they have each ...
