Lupin III: Part VI Release Date, Cast And Plot – What We Know So Far – Looper

According to SentaiFilmworks, the legendary thief will clash with a legendary detective. Sherlock Holmes is after Lupin following the murder of his longtime partner Dr. Watson. Lupin is the prime suspect in the murder and has to prove his innocence. He also has to deal with an evil organization called The Raven.As the TMS site notes, the key visual of "LupinIII: Part VI" is supposed to depict Lupin's complexity.The image showcases the head of a smirking Lupin, but the sides of his face differ. While the right side of his face looks like the normal easygoing protagonist we're used to seeing, the left side, covered in shadows with a piercing red eye, makes him look more villainous. The image may symbolize how Holmes sees the thief in the series versus how others see him, which makes sense given that Lupin is suspected of murder.

Based on the trailer, the tone could be more serious for this anime. While most of the TV versions of "Lupin III" are lighter in tone, other works like "Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine" and the trilogy of films directed by Takeshi Koike are much darker. This is more in line with Monkey Punch's original manga, which was heavier on sex and violence and had more black humor compared to some of the TV series' more zany moments. The trailer definitely presents a somber air for our favorite gentleman thief, and we're excited to tune in this fall.
