Lupin the IIIRD: The Movie - The Immortal Bloodline (2026) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Muom orchestrates the attacks on Lupin to manipulate history from behind the scenes. As an ancient immortal born from blood, he has been secretly controlling events on the island for centuries. The invitation to the uncharted island was a trap designed to draw Lupin there, where Muom could eliminate him and prevent any interference with his long-term plans.

Foreshadowing: The initial attack on Lupin's hideout that destroys his treasure collection was engineered to surface the map fragment leading to the island.

Lupin discovers that Muom has become the island itself, literally sustained by rivers of blood flowing through the island's circulatory system. By severing these blood conduits, Lupin weakens Muom and the island itself, causing the blood-red waters to carry him away. This removes Muom's source of power and allows the island to collapse.

Foreshadowing: Muom reveals he is an ancient immortal born from blood when Lupin infiltrates his stronghold.

Muom has become the island through a transformation that makes him literally inseparable from the landmass. He is sustained by rivers of blood flowing beneath the island's surface, and his power stabilizes the island geographically. When Lupin severs the blood circulatory system, it weakens both Muom and the island's structure, causing the island to collapse.

Foreshadowing: Muom reveals he is an ancient immortal born from blood during the stronghold confrontation.

Later, she aids Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko in their final stand against Muom on the battleship, suggesting her past with Jigen involves complicated feelings that lead her to switch sides.

Lupin appears to die when he falls into the volcano, leaving Zenigata as a witness to his presumed death. However, he survives by leaping into the volcano deliberately rather than falling accidentally. This survival sets up the crucial discovery that Muom has become the island itself, allowing Lupin to find Muom's weakness in the island's blood circulatory system.

Foreshadowing: The scene deliberately shows Lupin's fall but leaves doubt about his fate.

At the end, as the escapees flee, Mamo erases all evidence of the island's existence, effectively wiping it from history. His identity and full plans remain somewhat mysterious, setting up potential future installments.

Muom's power stabilizes the island, and when Lupin lures him into a massive explosion, Muom regenerates and retaliates by triggering the island's volcano into eruption. A massive tsunami blocks the shoreline simultaneously. These catastrophic events create the final chaotic backdrop as the characters race to escape the collapsing island.

Foreshadowing: Muom's immortality is established early, making his ability to survive and retaliate against explosions logical.

Inspector Zenigata from Interpol pursues Lupin throughout, triggering the chaotic dogfight above the island. After the planes crash, he is scattered across the island alongside the crew. He witnesses Lupin's apparent death in the volcano, informs the others on the battleship, and ultimately survives on a life raft. In the post-credits, he learns Lupin has supposedly been arrested, maintaining the ongoing chase between them.

Foreshadowing: Zenigata's pursuit creates the opening for Okuzaki's ambush during the aerial chase.

The post-credits scene shows Lupin's grave destroyed and his missing cigarettes returned to Jigen, with Zenigata learning that Lupin has supposedly been arrested. This strongly implies Lupin survived and is continuing his criminal career, maintaining the series' tradition of defying finality. The destroyed grave and cigarette return are symbolic gestures suggesting Lupin remains alive and active.

Foreshadowing: Lupin's survival was already revealed when he discovered Muom's weakness in the volcano.
