List of Lupin III television specials

This is a list of television specials of the Japanese media franchise Lupin III, based on the manga series by Monkey Punch that debuted in 1967.

Manga Entertainment released the first special on home video in the United Kingdom and Australia in 1996 as Goodbye Lady Liberty, using an English dub that they created in London with an American-British cast.

[1] Funimation purchased the North American releasing rights to specials five through twelve in 2002, in a package that also included the two theatrical films Farewell to Nostradamus and Dead or Alive.

[2] Discotek Media has released all 27 Lupin III specials in North America as of 2024, including those previously licensed by Funimation.

[4] Lupin heads to the Mediterranean island of Colcaca in pursuit of a box said to contain a draft of Ernest Hemingway's final, unfinished novel which supposedly describes the author's last journey and his discovery of great riches.

Lupin discovers that Goemon and Jigen have, for their own reasons, teamed up with respectively Carlos and Consano, who intend to use them as their trump cards in battle.

Lupin, Jigen, and Fujiko are contacted by a Hong Kong gangster, Chen Zhenzhong, to steal a metal statue of a dragon lost when the Titanic sank.

He tells about the time he was hired by a millionaire named Galves to help guard the Clam of Hermes, a green cylinder made of unbreakable metal.

The last will of master thief Mark Williams is for his old friend Lupin to return several famous objects to their rightful places, including the Bocca della Verità, a coffee maker from the first bottega da caffe in the Plaza San Marco, the speedboat/hovercraft gondola that James Bond used in the movie Moonraker, original can-can dresses from the Moulin Rouge, a car custom-made for the king of a Middle East country – which is actually a Mercedes-Benz 300SLR, and lastly The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Doing so within a certain time limit will reveal to Lupin the location of the Trick Diamond, a jewel thought to be worthless because its only ability is to catch and retain light.

Lupin, however, is certain that the stone holds more than meets the eye, as it is connected with both the Tunguska incident and the construction of La Sagrada Família in Barcelona.

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.

Born to a prominent family of the Republic of San Marino, the young CEO of the Rossellini conglomerate operates the largest hotel chain in Italy.

[57] The least well-received of Funimation's releases is Secret of the Twilight Gemini, which received mixed reviews due to the animation and its B movie-style plot.

[59] In 500 Essential Anime Movies Helen McCarthy called Liberty her personal favourite of the Lupin TV specials.
