Lupin the Third: Goodbye Partner

Inspector Zenigata is unexpectedly arrested on suspicion of helping Lupin, setting off a tense standoff with Lupin and the authorities. The accusation hints at a broader conspiracy and raises questions about who is truly behind the heists.

Lupin, irritated by the accusation, agrees to steal the Time Crystal to prove they are not colluding with Zenigata. The plan shifts into a high-stakes caper with a new, dangerous target.

Lupin successfully steals the diamond, but Jigen betrays him by shooting him and taking the gem. The betrayal fractures Lupin's moment of triumph and escalates the pursuit.

In London, Alisa Cartwright, a rising Chopin Competition entrant, is kidnapped by Roy Forest. Her disappearance ties her to powerful interests who want to control the Time Crystal.

Jigen delivers the crystal to Forest at his headquarters, only to discover the gem is a fake. The deception heightens the stakes and foreshadows a confrontation.

Jigen reluctantly agrees to confront Lupin, citing Alisa's safety and the risk of further collateral damage. The uneasy stance foreshadows a deeper rift between old allies.

Lupin and Goemon break Zenigata out of jail to help catch Jigen. The jailbreak strengthens their alliance and reopens the pursuit with renewed urgency.

The trio tracks Jigen to Forest's headquarters, closing in on the mastermind and the volatile crystal. Tensions rise as they approach the central conflict.

Forest corners Lupin and forces him to deliver the original crystal under threat to Alisa's life. Lupin weighs the price of failure against the friends he has gathered.

Alisa is forced to play Chopin’s music on Forest's original piano, triggering the crystal and allowing Forest to take control of the world’s financial systems. The moment marks a turning point in the villain's grip on global power.

Lupin uncovers the musical key that can take control of the rogue supercomputer and begins to counter Forest's takeover. His insight shifts the balance of power back toward the protagonists.

The AI within the supercomputer goes rogue and engages the American government in a deadly standoff. Alisa and Fujiko perform music to distract it while Lupin and Jigen blow up the facility from the outside.

With the threat eliminated, the crew parts ways. Fujiko takes Alisa to her Chopin Competition, while Jigen kills Forest, ending the global threat and sealing their fates for now.
