Lupin the Third: Episode 0: First Contact
Directed by Minoru Ohara
Produced by TMS Entertainment, Nippon Television Network Corporation
A lighthearted, energetic origin story that introduces a charismatic gentleman thief and his crew through a series of clever heists and comedic misadventures.
The stickup that started it all! Lupin III and Fujiko are both after an ancient artifact Jigen is supposed to protect, while Goemon happens to be searching for his clan’s lost treasure nearby. Of course, Inspector Zenigata isn’t far behind. This is the story of our heroes’ very first meeting!
