Lupin 8-sei

Special included with the Lupin 40th anniversary Bluray set.

Pilot episode for Lupin Shanshei.

In Shahalta, a tiny European city-state floating in the sky has had no contact with the outside world for a number of years. The government has went from a monarchy to a republic, and to celebrate the occasion, a national treasure exhibition is being held. Lupin decides to infiltrate the exhibition to steal the secret royal treasures, only to find out that a gang of air pirates snatch the treasure first.

Someone sent orders to assassinate Lupin! Will he survive or die trying!? After the intrepid Inspector Zenigata is reassigned from the Lupin case to destroying the international weapon smugglers Shot Shell, master thief Lupin the Third decides to help the old man get his old job back. To infiltrate Shot Shell, the gang "borrows" a nuclear Russian submarine and enlists the help of a nuclear physicist named Karen, who keeps suspiciously eyeing Lupin's partner Jigen. If that weren't enough, Zenigata's Interpol successor is an assassin with orders to take out the entire Lupin Gang!
