NTV will broadcast the second “Lupin III Walther P38” of the 50th anniversary of animation at “Friday Road SHOW!” From 21:00 on October 22, 2021 (Friday). Do.
Continuing from the previous week, this work will be broadcast to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the animation of “Lupin III.” Last week, four episodes of the masterpiece of the TV anime series were broadcast. This week, “Lupin III Walther P38”, which was selected as the number one vote in the TV anime special series, will be broadcast.
“Lupin III: Island of Walther P38” is the 9th in a special series produced in 1997. It is a work that reveals Lupine’s abominable past over the famous gun “Walther P38” that Lupine used to love when he was young.
Among “Lupin III,” which is often depicted as a comical swashbuckler, the feature of this work is that it has a dark and severe story from beginning to end—recommended for those who want to see Lupine hard-boiled more than ever!
Zenigata collapses on a deadly bullet! What is Lupine’s hidden past !?
At the vice president’s birthday party of a particular country, a fake notice letter that Lupine did not send (voice: Kanichi Kurita) arrived.
Lupine and his crew infiltrated the party to find the sender, but they were cornered by the waiting Zenigata police officer (voice: Goro Naya).
When it seemed to be caught in one step, Zenigata was shot by someone’s gun. When Lupine looked at the point where the ammunition was fired, there was a figure of someone holding a Walther P38. Lupine once owned the gun in his fledgling days and was stolen when his former companion betrayed him.
Lupine inferred from the tattoos on the back of his hand that the criminal who shot the Zenigata belonged to the assassin group “Tarantula.”
Infiltrate the island where their hideout is located to settle the relationship with their former partner.
Lupine and his party safely infiltrated the tarantula hideout. However, Lupine, captured by the assassin Ellen (voice: Emi Shinohara), is taken to his boss, Gordo, and is given an injection.
The injection was a potent poison that would activate humans if they did not inhale the gas generated from the island.
Lupine was unable to escape from the hideout, but with the help of an assassin group who wanted to escape from the organization, he made a plan to create an antidote.
Can Lupine achieve the purpose of breaking up with the past and safely escape from the hideout !?
This is the highlight of the second “Lupin III: Island of Warther P38,” commemorating the 50th anniversary of animation.
