Episode Context

As a standalone one-episode special, there are no preceding or following episodes within this release, the entire story is self-contained. It functions as a prequel to the broader Lupin III canon, establishing how Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko, Goemon, and Zenigata first crossed paths and began the complicated alliances that define the franchise. For viewers new to the series, this is a logical and intentional starting point; for veterans, it recontextualizes relationships already taken for granted across decades of Lupin adventures.
